2. Amazon EC2 C7i instances now available in additional regions
Compute · AWS What's New
Amazon EC2 C7i instances are now available in additional regions, including Europe (Milan) and Canada West (Calgary), offering up to 15% better price-performance versus C6i instances. This benefits customers with compute-intensive workloads, such as distributed analytics and ad-serving, by providing improved performance and larger instance sizes. The C7i instances offer sizes up to 48xlarge and two bare metal sizes.
3. Amazon CloudWatch announces managed Prometheus collectors
Observability · AWS What's New
Amazon CloudWatch now supports managed Prometheus collectors, enabling customers to monitor AWS infrastructure without deploying or managing agents. This benefits customers by eliminating the overhead of deploying and maintaining self-managed OpenTelemetry Collectors, and provides a consistent source control experience.

4. Introducing self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for AWS Lambda function code
Serverless · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda now supports self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for function code, allowing customers to manage their own code storage and security. This benefits customers by eliminating the 75 GB code storage limit and providing full security control over their deployment artifacts. Customers can apply their own encryption, access controls, and compliance tags to their S3 buckets.
5. Introducing modularized kernel cryptography in Amazon Linux
Security · AWS Compute Blog
Amazon Linux 2023 introduces modularized kernel cryptography, separating FIPS 140-3 cryptographic components into an independent kernel module. This benefits customers by streamlining FIPS compliance workflows and reducing the need for re-certification. The modular approach allows for more efficient validation and reuse of certified cryptographic modules.
6. AWS CodeDeploy now available in five additional AWS regions
Dev Tools · AWS What's New
AWS CodeDeploy is now available in five additional AWS regions, including Asia Pacific (New Zealand) and Mexico (Central), providing customers with lower latency and improved data residency. This benefits customers by enabling rapid and automated application deployments to various AWS services, including EC2 instances and Lambda functions. The service eliminates error-prone manual deployment operations and scales seamlessly.
7. Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio brings richer Git version control to all project tools
AI/ML · AWS What's New
Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now offers richer Git version control, providing a consistent source control experience across all project tools, including Notebooks.
