AWS IoT Core announces General Availability of the capability to send device logs from Internet of Things (IoT) devices to Amazon CloudWatch Logs in batches, enabling you to optimize the cost of using CloudWatch Log Action in IoT Rules.

Amazon Omics now supports AWS PrivateLink and AWS CloudFormation. You can now use AWS PrivateLink to privately access Amazon Omics APIs from your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Creating VPC Endpoints incurs charges. See the AWS PrivateLink pricing page for more information. With CloudFormation support, you can now use AWS CloudFormation templates to create, update, and delete your Amazon Omics resources. This helps you automate and standardize DevOps processes across your AWS accounts and AWS Regions for Amazon Omics.

Starting today, you can configure your NAT Gateway to support up to 440,000 concurrent connections to a unique destination by adding multiple IP addresses to same NAT Gateway.

Amazon SageMaker Training reduces the time and cost to train and tune machine learning (ML) models at scale without the need to manage infrastructure. In addition to providing built-in libraries and tools, SageMaker works with popular open-source foundation models such as GPT, BERT, and DALL·E and ML frameworks, such as PyTorch and TensorFlow. We are excited to announce that SageMaker Training now supports using images with pre-installed frameworks or algorithms stored in your private Docker registry to build ML models.

Amazon Inspector is now available in both AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. You can now continuously monitor your AWS workloads including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, container images in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and AWS Lambda functions for software vulnerabilities in these additional regions.

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports enabling Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication for OpenSearch Dashboards during domain creation. SAML authentication for OpenSearch Dashboards enables users to integrate directly with identity providers (IDPs) such as Okta, Ping Identity, OneLogin, Auth0, Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) and Azure Active Directory.

Amazon Connect now supports AWS CloudFormation for instance management, in addition to previously launched CloudFormation support for instance creation and data storage APIs. You can now use AWS CloudFormation templates to manage Amazon Connect instances for associating Lex bots (and Lex v2), Lambda functions, Security keys, and Approved origins —along with the rest of your AWS infrastructure—in a secure, efficient, and repeatable way. 

Amazon Connect now supports outbound campaigns in the Canada (Central) AWS region, making it easy to proactively communicate across voice, SMS, and email for use cases such as delivery notifications, marketing promotions, appointment reminders, or debt collection. Communication capabilities include features to support compliance of local regulations such as CRTC through point-of-dial checks and calling controls for time of day, time zone, number of attempts per contact, and time required to connect to an available agent. An optional integrated list management capability provided by Amazon Pinpoint can also be used to build customer journeys and multi-channel user experiences. With this launch, high-volume outbound calls can now be made to customers in Canada. This feature is available out-of-the box and can be enabled within the AWS Connect Console.

Here’s something one would never have expected to see a few years back – AMD’s market cap overtaking Intel’s. If Intel doesn’t overtake TSMC’s process technology in 2025, it looks as if it is doomed to even steeper decline – that is, of course, assuming Wall St will give it the time to get there.
