AWS Batch now provides Array Job Status Summary in ListJobs API

By

AWS Batch now includes a status summary for Array Jobs in the ListJobs API response, giving you immediate visibility into the distribution of child job statuses without additional API calls. This enhancement helps you monitor large-scale workloads more efficiently.

When you call the ListJobs API for Array Jobs, the response now includes a statusSummary field that shows the count of child jobs in each state: SUBMITTED, PENDING, RUNNABLE, STARTING, RUNNING, SUCCEEDED, and FAILED. Previously, statusSummary field was only available in the response of DescribeJobs API call. Using the new field you can now monitor the progress of multiple array jobs in your queue with a single API call.. The response also includes a statusSummaryLastUpdatedAt timestamp, allowing you to assess the freshness of the status information. This transparency helps you make informed decisions about your workload management and troubleshooting.

This feature is particularly valuable for high-scale batch processing workloads in financial services, automotive, and other industries where monitoring thousands of parallel jobs is critical for operational visibility. Available today in all AWS Regions where AWS Batch is available. For more information, see the ListJobs API page in AWS Batch API Reference .

Amazon Redshift now supports autonomics for multi-cluster environments

By

Amazon Redshift now supports autonomics—automatic optimization features—for multi-cluster environments. Database administrators managing distributed Amazon Redshift workloads can now benefit from autonomics that work intelligently across multiple warehouses, eliminating manual performance tuning across consumer clusters.

This launch extends Amazon Redshift’s autonomics capabilities, including Automatic Table Optimization (ATO), Automatic Table Sorting (ATS), Auto Vacuum, and Auto Analyze, to consider query patterns from all consumer clusters when managing table layouts and maintenance operations. Organizations where multiple business units access shared data can benefit from holistic optimization that considers all workload patterns, reducing manual optimization processes. This launch also includes a denylist feature, allowing you to exclude specific endpoints or AWS accounts from influencing optimization decisions—particularly useful for cross-organizational data sharing scenarios. These enhanced autonomics features are available at no additional cost for Amazon Redshift customers.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions that support Amazon Redshift . To learn more, see the Amazon Redshift Management Guide .

Introducing Amazon EC2 C8id, M8id, and R8id instances

By

AWS is announcing the general availability of new Amazon EC2 C8id, M8id, and R8id instances powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors. These instances deliver up to 43% higher performance and 3.3x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation C6id, M6id, and R6id instances.

C8id, M8id, and R8id instances offer up to 384 vCPUs, 3TiB of memory, and 22.8TB of NVMe SSD storage, 3x more than previous generation instances. These instances deliver up to 46% higher performance for I/O intensive database workloads, and up to 30% faster query results for I/O intensive real-time data analytics than previous sixth-generation instances. Additionally, these instances support Instance Bandwidth Configuration, allowing 25% flexible allocation between network and EBS bandwidth, allocating resources optimally for each workload.

C8id instances are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as high-performance web servers, batch processing, distributed analytics, ad serving, video encoding, and gaming servers. M8id instances are well-suited for balanced workloads including application servers, microservices, enterprise applications, and small to medium databases. R8id instances are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, real-time big data analytics, large in-memory caches, and scientific computing applications.

C8id, M8id and R8id instances are available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon). R8id instances are additionally available in Europe (Frankfurt). Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances. For more information visit the Amazon EC2 instance type page.
