Amazon Redshift Serverless now supports subnet configurations with 2 Availability Zones (AZs) when Enhanced VPC Routing (EVR) is not used. This enhancement simplifies the setup process, as you no longer need 3 AZs in your Amazon VPC subnet network.

Previously, creating an Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroup required 3 AZs in your Amazon VPC subnet network. With this update, you only need 2 AZs when creating or updating workgroups without EVR. This requirement applies regardless of your base RPU size (4 to 1024 RPUs), your workgroup’s RPU usage, or whether AI-driven scaling and optimizations is enabled. This change reduces your operational overhead by eliminating the need to configure an additional AZ when you already have 2 AZs defined in your Amazon VPC subnet network.

The 2-AZ support is available in all commercial AWS regions where Amazon Redshift Serverless is offered.

For detailed information about implementing 2-AZ support in Amazon Redshift Serverless, please consult the Amazon Redshift Serverless documentation .

Amazon CloudWatch adds support for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses to ingest and query metrics, as well as manage alarms, dashboards, and Observability Access Manager (OAM) cross-account observability settings. Customers moving to IPv6 can simplify their network stack by running their CloudWatch monitoring on a dual-stack network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

The addition of IPv6 support provides customers with a vastly expanded address space, eliminating concerns about address exhaustion and simplifying network architecture for IPv6-native applications. With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on CloudWatch public endpoints, customers can gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6-based systems and applications without needing to switch all systems at once. This enhancement is particularly valuable for modern cloud-native applications and organizations transitioning to IPv6 as part of their modernization efforts.

Support for IPv6 on CloudWatch endpoints is now available in all commercial AWS Regions , the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and the China Regions.

To start using CloudWatch IPv6 on endpoints related to metrics, alarms, dashboards, or OAM settings, you simply need to update your network configuration and the URL of the CloudWatch endpoints or CloudWatch OAM endpoints you connect to. Please refer to AWS service endpoints documentation for the updated URL endpoint syntax. For use within a VPC, please refer to how to add IPv6 support for your VPC .

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X8g instances are available in US East (Ohio) region. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 60% better performance than AWS Graviton2-based Amazon EC2 X2gd instances. X8g instances offer up to 3 TiB of total memory and increased memory per vCPU compared to other Graviton4-based instance. They have the best price performance among EC2 X-series instances, and are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as electronic design automation (EDA) workloads, in-memory databases (Redis, Memcached), relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL), real-time big data analytics, real-time caching servers, and memory-intensive containerized applications.

X8g instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPU (up to 48xlarge) and memory (up to 3TiB) than Graviton2-based X2gd instances. They offer up to 50 Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking support is offered on 24xlarge, 48xlarge, and bare metal sizes, and Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) Express support is available on instance sizes larger than 12xlarge.

X8g instances are currently available in the following AWS Regions : US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Frankfurt).

To learn more, see Amazon EC2 X8g Instances . To quickly migrate your workloads to Graviton-based instances, see AWS Graviton Fast Start program . To get started, see the AWS Management Console , AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) , and AWS SDKs . 

AWS Glue now offers a new native connector for Microsoft Dynamics 365, enabling data engineers to easily integrate data from this enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) platform. This connector allows AWS Glue users to build efficient extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs that seamlessly connect to Microsoft Dynamics 365 as a data source.

With this new connector, users can streamline their data integration processes, reducing the complexity and time required to incorporate Microsoft Dynamics 365 data into their AWS-based analytics and business intelligence workflows. Organizations can now leverage the power of AWS Glue’s fully-managed ETL service in conjunction with their Microsoft Dynamics 365 data, enabling more comprehensive insights and data-driven decision-making.

The AWS Glue connector for Microsoft Dynamics 365 is available in all regions where AWS Glue is supported.

To learn more about this new connector and how to get started, visit the AWS Glue documentation .

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database is now available in the US West (N. California), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Jakarta, Malaysia, Melbourne, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Thailand), Canada (Central), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Zurich), Israel (Tel Aviv), Mexico (Central), Middle East (Bahrain, UAE), and South America (Sao Paulo) Regions.

Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database makes it easy for you to scale your relational database workloads by providing a serverless endpoint that automatically distributes data and queries across multiple Amazon Aurora Serverless instances while maintaining the transactional consistency of a single database. Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database offers capabilities such as distributed query planning and transaction management, removing the need for you to create custom solutions or manage multiple databases to scale. As your workloads increase, Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database adds additional compute resources while staying within your specified budget, so there is no need to provision for peak, and compute automatically scales down when demand is low.

Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database is available with PostgreSQL 16.6 and 16.8 compatibility in these regions.

For pricing details and Region availability, visit Amazon Aurora pricing . To learn more, read the Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database documentation and get started by creating an Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database in only a few steps in the Amazon RDS console .
