Amazon Location Service announces Migration SDK

By

Amazon Location Service has launched a Migration SDK that enables users to easily and quickly migrate their existing application from Google Maps Platform to Amazon Location Service.

The Migration SDK provides an option for your application built using the Google Maps SDK for JavaScript to use Amazon Location Service without needing to rewrite any of the application or business logic if Amazon Location supports the capabilities used. Customers can compare their current Google Maps API usage with the Migration SDK’s list of supported APIs to determine if the Migration SDK is right for them. The Migration SDK will receive updates as Amazon Location Service extends its Maps/Places/Routes feature set.

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region

By

We are excited to announce that Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is expanding availability to the Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. OpenSearch Serverless is a serverless deployment option for Amazon OpenSearch Service that makes it simple to run search and analytics workloads without the complexities of infrastructure management. OpenSearch Serverless’ compute capacity used for data ingestion, search, and query is measured in OpenSearch Compute Units (OCUs).

The support for OpenSearch Serverless is now available in 14 regions globally: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe West (Paris), Europe West (London), Asia Pacific South (Mumbai), South America (Sao Paulo), Canada Central (Montreal) and the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. Please refer to the AWS Regional Services List for more information about Amazon OpenSearch Service availability. To learn more about OpenSearch Serverless, see the documentation.

AWS announces Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 blocks

By

Starting today, customers can provision Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 blocks using Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM), to simplify network management and security.

Customers want to use Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 blocks in their networking and security constructs like access control lists, route tables, security groups, and firewalls as opposed to using many individual discontiguous public IPv4 addresses that can be cumbersome to manage. Within IPAM, customers can provision Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 blocks into IPv4 publicly scoped regional pools. They can then create Elastic IP addresses from these pools, and use them with AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, Network Load Balancers and NAT gateways.

Customers are charged for all public IPv4 addresses in the Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 block. To learn about pricing for this feature, please see the Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 block tab in the VPC pricing page .

Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 blocks are available in all AWS commercial regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, in both Free Tier and Advanced Tier of VPC IPAM. When used with the Advanced Tier of VPC IPAM, customers can share their Amazon-provided contiguous IPv4 blocks across two or more accounts. To get started please see the IPAM documentation page .
 

Announcing AWS Parallel Computing Service

By

Today, AWS announces AWS Parallel Computing Service (AWS PCS), a new managed service that lets you run and scale high performance computing (HPC) workloads on AWS. The service enables you to build scientific and engineering models, and run simulations using your preferred HPC job scheduler (starting with Slurm). AWS PCS allows you to build complete HPC clusters that integrates compute, storage, networking, and visualization resources, and seamlessly scale from zero to thousands of instances. The service offers a fully managed Slurm scheduler with built-in technical support and a rich set of customization options, helping you tailor your HPC environment to your specific needs and integrate it with your preferred software stack.

With AWS PCS, you can take advantage of the scalability and flexibility of AWS for your HPC workloads, while maintaining compatibility with existing applications and job scripts. It simplifies cluster management by offering a unified set of APIs, AWS Management Console, SDK, and CLI tools for cluster provisioning and infrastructure updates. This helps you to reduce operational overhead, so you can focus more on your core engineering and scientific research, and less on compute infrastructure management.

AWS PCS is available in the following AWS Regions : US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Stockholm).

AWS Network Firewall introduces GeoIP Filtering to inspect traffic based on geographic location

By

AWS Network Firewall now supports GeoIP Filtering on ingress and egress Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) traffic. This new feature makes it easy for customers to block traffic coming from or going to specific countries and meet compliance requirements. Previously, maintaining compliance with regulations was time-consuming because you have to maintain a list of IP addresses associated with specific countries and update your firewall rules regularly. GeoIP Filtering saves time and reduces operational complexity by enabling you to filter traffic on Network Firewall using the country name.

AWS Network Firewall is a managed firewall service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for all your Amazon VPCs. GeoIP Filtering allows you to enforce your AWS Network Firewall rules and policies consistently across your entire network, making it easier to meet business or regulatory compliance requirements and improve your network security posture.

GeoIP Filtering is supported in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is available today, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For more information about the AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is available, see the AWS Region table .

There is no additional cost to enable GeoIP Filtering on AWS Network Firewall. You can configure GeoIP Filtering using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, or the AWS Network Firewall API. To learn more about configuring GeoIP Filtering, please refer to the service documentation .
