This update benefits organizations managing thousands of AWS accounts, enabling them to onboard applications without consuming account quota capacity. Quotas can be further increased by submitting a quota increase request through AWS Service Quotas console.
2. Announcing Amazon EC2 G7 instances accelerated by NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs
Compute · AWS Blog
Amazon EC2 G7 instances are now available, accelerated by NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, delivering high performance GPU acceleration for AI inference, graphics, and data analytics workloads. This update benefits customers running AI and graphics-intensive workloads, providing up to 4.6x AI inference performance and up to 2.1x graphics performance compared to G6 instances. G7 instances are available with custom sixth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
3. Introducing self-service lifecycle management capabilities for AWS Outposts
Compute · AWS What's New
AWS Outposts now provides self-service lifecycle management capabilities, allowing customers to configure, quote, order, manage subscriptions, and decommission Outposts directly from the AWS Management Console, CLI, and API.
