1. Introducing self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for AWS Lambda function code
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda now supports self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for function code, eliminating the 75 GB code storage limit. This change benefits customers who manage Lambda functions at scale and require full security control over their deployment artifacts. The new feature allows customers to apply their own encryption, access controls, and compliance tags to the S3 bucket.
2. AWS Lambda now publishes logs for Lambda Managed Instances capacity providers
Compute · AWS What's New
AWS Lambda now publishes logs for Lambda Managed Instances capacity providers to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, providing visibility into scaling activity and instance lifecycle operations. This change benefits customers who use Lambda Managed Instances to operate high-volume workloads with specialized compute configurations.
3. Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts now support host resource groups without self-managed licenses
Compute · AWS What's New
Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts now support host resource groups without self-managed licenses, giving customers more flexibility in managing their dedicated hosts. This change is particularly valuable for EC2 Mac Instance customers and those who require hardware-level isolation. Customers can create host resource groups without self-managed licenses by unchecking a specific option when creating the group.
4. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now supports scaling down ingest capacity with warm throughput
Storage · AWS What's New
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now supports scaling down ingest capacity with warm throughput, giving customers full control over their stream's write throughput. This change benefits customers who need to proactively manage stream capacity in response to changing data traffic. To scale down, customers can simply set a lower warm throughput value on their on-demand stream.
5. Introducing modularized kernel cryptography in Amazon Linux
Security · AWS Compute Blog
Amazon Linux now features modularized kernel cryptography, which separates Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 cryptographic components into an independent kernel module. This change benefits customers who require FIPS compliance by reducing the need for re-certification after kernel updates. The modular approach allows for more efficient validation and reuse of certified cryptographic components.
6. Amazon MWAA now supports Apache Airflow version 2.11.2
AI/ML · AWS What's New
Amazon MWAA now supports Apache Airflow version 2.11.2, which includes security improvements, bug fixes, and dependency upgrades. This change benefits customers who use Amazon MWAA to run Apache Airflow at scale, providing a more stable and secure environment for their workflows. The new version upgrades core dependencies and includes fixes to task lifecycle management and UI corrections.
7. Eliminating Java cold starts with AWS Lambda Managed Instances
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda Managed Instances can eliminate Java cold starts by running the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in a long-running process. This change benefits customers with latency-sensitive Java applications that require fast response times and cannot tolerate cold start penalties. By using Lambda Managed Instances, customers can optimize their Java applications for performance and reliability.
