We’ve heard this sort of thing before, but it hasn’t happened. This time, the financial markets are convinced. At least for now.

The Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) agent is now digitally signed using PGP and Windows signatures.

You can now configure how Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) downloads container images from a container registry in order to speed up container launch times.

Amazon Rekognition is a deep learning-based computer vision service that makes it easy to add image and video analysis to your applications. Amazon Rekognition Image and Video are now AWS HIPAA Eligible Services.

This Quick Start is a reference architecture for those who want to deploy the SAS platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS), using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon CloudWatch, and Amazon Route 53. By deploying the SAS platform on AWS, you get SAS analytics, data visualization, and machine learning capabilities in an AWS-validated environment. The deployment is automated by an AWS CloudFormation template and takes about one hour.

You can now configure the MySQL-compatible edition of Amazon Aurora to publish general logs, slow query logs, and error logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Previously, you could only publish audit logs.

You can now monitor the performance and health of your Amazon Redshift cluster with two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics, Query Throughput and Query Duration. These metrics monitor Redshift cluster performance and provide insights to adjust workload management settings to improve query performance. We have also improved the user interface to view the Query Performance Data on the console.

AWS Storage Gateway now supports NovaStor DataCenter versions 6 and 7 with the Tape Gateway virtual tape library (VTL). Tape Gateway helps you move your tape-based backup and archiving workflows to the AWS cloud easily, using applications such as NovaStor DataCenter. With Tape Gateway, you backup application data locally to an appliance, which then moves the data to AWS and stores it in a VTL backed by durable Amazon S3 storage. Then, you can easily archive backups to Amazon Glacier for long-term retention on durable, low-cost storage, with the ability to retrieve virtual tapes in three-to-five hours.

Application Load Balancers now support a slow start mode that allows you to add new targets without overwhelming them with a flood of requests. With the slow start mode, targets warm up before accepting their fair share of requests based on a ramp-up period that you specify.

Slow start is very useful for applications that depend on cache and need a warm-up period before being able to respond to requests with optimal performance.

Slow start mode can be enabled by target group and can be configured for a duration of 30 seconds to 15 minutes. The load balancer linearly increases the number of requests sent to a new target in a target group up to its fair share during the slow start ramp-up window.

Slow start is available today for all existing and new Application Load Balancers in all AWS public regions. You can get started using the AWS Management Console , AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) , or AWS SDK . To learn more, see slow start mode .
