Today, we are announcing the general availability of ML Detect, a new feature of AWS IoT Device Defender that automatically detects device-level operational and security anomalies across your IoT fleet by learning from your past data. Now, in addition to being able to manually set static alarms with AWS IoT Device Defender Rules Detect, you can use machine learning to automatically learn your fleet’s expected behaviors so that you don’t need an in-depth understanding of how your devices act across a range of metrics to get started.  

The AWS Snowcone service is now available for order for customers in the AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region. With this launch, Snowcone is now available for order in Asia Pacific (Sydney), EU (Frankfurt), EU (Ireland), US East (N. Virginia), and US West (Oregon) Regions. AWS Snowcone is the smallest member of the AWS Snow Family of edge computing, edge storage, and data transfer devices. Snowcone is portable, rugged, and secure – small and light enough to fit in a backpack, and able to withstand harsh environments. Customers use Snowcone to deploy applications at the edge, and to collect data, process it locally, and move it to AWS either offline (by shipping the device to AWS) or online (by using AWS DataSync on Snowcone to send the data to AWS over the network).

Starting today, Amazon EC2 M5n, M5dn, R5n, R5dn instances are available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. Based on the AWS Nitro System, these instances make 100 Gbps networking available to network-bound workloads, and Amazon Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) for low latency networking HPC/ML workloads. Customers can take advantage of this improved network performance to run a variety of network-bound workloads such as High Performance Computing (HPC), analytics, machine learning, Big Data, and data lake applications, as well as accelerate data transfer to and from Amazon S3, reducing the data ingestion time for applications and speeding up delivery of results. Workloads on these instances will continue to take advantage of the security, scalability and reliability of Amazon’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). These instances also support
