What's new at AWS 📢

5️⃣ Amazon OpenSearch
6️⃣ Amazon MemoryDB
7️⃣ And Amazon DynamoDB reserved capacity as well.

⭕ Most importantly, Cost Explorer automatically analyzes customers DynamoDB usage and generates recommendations to cover provisioned capacity with reserved capacity at a discounted rate.

⭕ In addition to that customers can customize the recommendation parameters, such as term length and historical usage period, to ensure they align with their own organization’s financial goals as well

⭕ Key considerations to purchase reserved capacity is
