AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) now supports Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML . You can now use Amazon EC2 instances reserved using EC2 Capacity Blocks natively in PCS clusters.

Native support for EC2 Capacity Blocks in PCS simplifies capacity planning for cutting-edge GPU-based workloads in Slurm clusters, helping to ensure that GPU capacity is available when and where it’s needed. EC2 Capacity Blocks can be associated with PCS compute node groups via an EC2 Launch Template.

PCS is a managed service that makes it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing (HPC) workloads and build scientific and engineering models on AWS using Slurm. You can use PCS to build complete, elastic environments that integrate compute, storage, networking, and visualization tools. PCS simplifies cluster operations with managed updates and built-in observability features, helping to remove the burden of maintenance. You can work in a familiar environment, focusing on your research and innovation instead of worrying about infrastructure.

PCS now supports EC2 Capacity Blocks in all AWS Regions where both services are available. Read more about PCS support for EC2 Capacity Blocks in the PCS User Guide .

Today, AWS End User Messaging SMS announces support for AWS CloudFormation, enabling customers to deploy and manage SMS resources using AWS CloudFormation templates. Using AWS CloudFormation, customers can standardize how they setup and manage their SMS resources along side their other AWS resources in the development environment simplifying deployments and delivery pipelines. SMS resources supported via CloudFormation include phone numbers, sender IDs, configuration sets, protection configurations, opt-out lists, resource policies, and phone pools.

AWS End User Messaging provides developers with a scalable and cost-effective messaging infrastructure without compromising the safety, security, or results of their communications. Developers can integrate messaging to support uses cases such as one-time passcodes (OTP) at sign-ups, account updates, appointment reminders, delivery notifications, promotions and more.

Support for CloudFormation for SMS resources is available in all AWS Regions where End User Messaging is available, see the AWS Region table.

AWS Network Firewall now offers enhancements to its console, monitoring dashboard, and security controls. These improvements include expanded monitoring insights and advanced TLS Inspection features. These updates provide customers with enhanced visibility into their firewall’s performance and stronger security measures for outbound connections.

The monitoring dashboard now provides deeper insights into traffic going to AWS services such as Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS Backup, which can be sent over PrivateLink endpoints. The dashboard also gives visibility into top source and destination IP addresses based on packets and bytes processed. Customers can filter the dashboard based on IP addresses and protocol, enabling more targeted analysis of network traffic patterns.

To further strengthen security, AWS Network Firewall has introduced session holding for TLS Inspection. This feature prevents any TCP and TLS establishment packets from reaching destination servers until TLS protocol rules matching on Server Name Indication (SNI) have been evaluated. This enhancement provides stronger security controls for outbound traffic and helps protect against connections to potentially malicious targets. These new features are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is offered.

To learn more about these new features and other AWS Network Firewall capabilities, visit the AWS Network Firewall product page and the service documentation .
