Amazon KDP Marketing And Promotion – New Book Launch!

Weekly Roundup – AWS News and Updates (Week of June th, )

Alright, folks, gather ’round! Let’s dive into the whirlwind of AWS news from this past week. It’s been a rollercoaster, lemme tell ya. First off, I gotta gush about getting my hands on the Anthropic Claude . Sonnet model in Amazon Bedrock. This thing is the real deal, folks. It’s like having a super-powered AI assistant who can write Shakespearean sonnets about serverless architecture. Okay, maybe not *that* specific, but you get the idea.

And speaking of whirlwind tours, the AWS Summit Japan was off the chain! The JAWS-UG sessions were jam-packed with insights, Dr. Werner Vogels absolutely crushed his keynote and community meeting (seriously, that man’s energy is contagious), and the Northeast Asia AWS community gathering was the perfect blend of networking and knowledge sharing.

Last Week’s Launches

Hold onto your hats, people, because AWS unleashed a torrent of new features and services last week. We’re talking game-changers, folks!

Amazon Bedrock

Remember how I was just raving about the Anthropic Claude . Sonnet model? Well, guess what? It’s now generally available in Amazon Bedrock! That means you, my friend, can harness the power of this incredible language model for all your generative AI needs.

But wait, there’s more! Bedrock also added support for compressed embeddings from Cohere Embed. In a nutshell, this means faster and more efficient processing for all your natural language processing (NLP) tasks.

AWS CodeArtifact

Attention all Rustaceans! AWS CodeArtifact now plays nice with your beloved Cargo. Yep, you heard that right. You can now store and access all those awesome Rust libraries (crates) directly within CodeArtifact. Talk about a productivity booster!

Amazon CodeCatalyst

Okay, folks, buckle up because CodeCatalyst got a serious upgrade this week. We’re talking a full-blown feature explosion!

  • First up, we’ve got integration with Amazon Q for issue assignment and code analysis. That’s right, your code assistant just got a whole lot smarter.
  • Need to bring in code from GitHub Cloud or Bitbucket Cloud? No problem! CodeCatalyst now supports both.
  • Not sure which blueprint to choose? Don’t sweat it! Amazon Q is here to lend a helping hand with blueprint selection.
  • Security-minded folks, rejoice! You can now securely store, publish, and share Maven, Python, and NuGet packages within CodeCatalyst.
  • Issue management just got a whole lot smoother with the addition of issue linking.
  • Need more control over your build processes? CodeCatalyst now offers organization/enterprise-level CodeBuild webhooks.
  • And last but not least, we’ve got default IAM role assignment for environments. Talk about streamlining your workflows!

Amazon EC2

The EC2 team has been busy little bees, rolling out even more powerful and flexible compute options.

  • Need blazing-fast performance for your workloads? The C7g and R7g instances, powered by the mighty AWS Graviton processors, are now available in Europe (Milan), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), and South America (São Paulo) Regions.
  • Looking for the perfect balance of performance and flexibility? Look no further than the C7i-flex instances, now available in the US East (Ohio) Region.

AWS Compute Optimizer

Let’s be real, optimizing your cloud resources can be a real pain. But fear not, my friends, because Compute Optimizer is here to save the day! This handy service now provides rightsizing recommendations for Amazon RDS MySQL and RDS PostgreSQL. That means you can say goodbye to wasted resources and hello to sweet, sweet cost savings.

Amazon OpenSearch Service

Security-conscious developers, this one’s for you! OpenSearch Service now offers simplified integration with identity providers and improved multi-tenant application security with JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication and authorization. Because when it comes to your data, security is non-negotiable.

Data scientists, rejoice! SageMaker now makes it easier than ever to manage your machine learning experiments and lifecycle with its fully managed MLflow capability.

AWS Glue

Data integration just got a whole lot more powerful with the introduction of thirteen (count ’em, thirteen!) new built-in transforms in AWS Glue.

Amazon MWAA (Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow)

Need more control over your Airflow web server? MWAA now supports custom domain names, giving you the power to set up private web servers with load balancers, custom DNS entries, or proxies.
