The Amazon Route 53 team has just launched a new feature called Route 53 Resolver Query Logs, which will let you log all DNS queries made by resources within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Whether it’s an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an AWS Lambda function, or a container, if it […]

We launched EBS Volumes with Provisioned IOPS way back in 2012. These volumes are a great fit for your most I/O-hungry and latency-sensitive applications because you can dial in the level of performance that you need, and then (with the launch of Elastic Volumes in 2017) change it later. Over the years, we have increased […]

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers available with both Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). With Fargate, developers are able to focus on building applications, eliminating the need to manage the infrastructure related undifferentiated heavy lifting. Developers specify resources for each Kubernetes pod, and are charged only […]

Many workloads, such as genome analysis, training of machine learning models, High Performance Computing (HPC), and analytics applications depend on multiple compute instances accessing the same set of data. For these workloads, clusters of compute instances are commonly connected to a high-performance shared file system. Amazon FSx for Lustre makes it easy and cost-effective to […]

As we anticipated in this post, the anomaly and threat detection for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) activities that was previously available in Amazon Macie has now been enhanced and reduced in cost by over 80% as part of Amazon GuardDuty. This expands GuardDuty threat detection coverage beyond workloads and AWS accounts to also help you protect […]

Snapshots are an integral part of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). Snapshots allow you to create a block-level, point-in-time copy of your volumes for backup, or disaster-recovery purposes. Snapshots are incremental, only data modified since the last snapshots are copied again. You can share snapshots between AWS Regions, or AWS Accounts. Once you have […]

I am excited to announce you can now create Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots from any block storage data, such as on-premises volumes, volumes from another cloud provider, existing block data stored on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), or even your own laptop :-) AWS customers using the cloud for disaster recovery […]

Last month I published my AWS Snowball Edge Update and told you about the latest updates to Snowball Edge, including faster storage-optimized devices with more memory & vCPUs, the AWS OpsHub for Snow Family GUI-based management tool, IAM for Snowball Edge, and Snowball Edge Support for AWS Systems Manager. AWS Snowcone Today I would like […]
