Amazon EC2 I8ge instances are now generally available in additional AWS regions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of Amazon EC2 I8ge instances in Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Sydney) AWS regions. I8ge instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors to deliver up to 60% better compute performance compared to previous generation Graviton2-based storage optimized Amazon EC2 instances. I8ge instances use the third generation AWS Nitro SSDs, local NVMe storage that delivers up to 55% better real-time storage performance per TB. They offer up to 60% lower storage I/O latency and up to 75% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to previous generation Im4gn instances. I8ge instances are storage-optimized instances offering up to 120TB of locally attached NVMe storage. They are ideal for workloads that demand rapid local storage with high random read/write performance and consistently low latency for accessing large datasets. These versatile instances are offer...

AWS HealthImaging announces study-level fine-grained access control - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS HealthImaging now supports fine-grained access control, enabling organizations to securely manage access to medical imaging data at the DICOM study and series levels. Medical imaging workflows are typically organized around DICOM studies, which are stored in AWS HealthImaging as one or more image set resources. Now customers can easily grant users access to all image sets for a set of DICOM Studies or Series with easy-to-maintain IAM policies. Customers can now grant permissions for DICOMweb APIs using DICOM Study Instance UIDs and Series Instance UIDs directly in their IAM policies, eliminating the need to list individual image set ARNs. Customers can now create dynamic, temporary access grants using AWS Security Token Service (STS) session policies with low-latency authentication. This capability provides enhanced protection for Protected Health Information (PHI) by scoping access grants to specific Studies or Series rather than entire data stores. This launch better supports us...

Amazon EC2 High Memory U7i instances now available in Europe (Milan) - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon EC2 High Memory U7i-8TB instances (u7i-8tb.112xlarge) and U7i-12TB instances (u7i-12tb.224xlarge) are now available in AWS Europe (Milan). U7i instances are part of AWS 7th generation and are powered by custom fourth generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids). U7i-8tb instances offer 8TiB of DDR5 memory, and U7i-12tb instances offer 12TiB of DDR5 memory, enabling customers to scale transaction processing throughput in a fast-growing data environment. U7i-8tb instances deliver 448 vCPUs; U7i-12tb instances deliver 896 vCPUs. Both instances support up to 100 Gbps of Amazon EBS bandwidth for faster data loading and backups, 100 Gbps of network bandwidth, and ENA Express. U7i instances are ideal for customers using mission-critical in-memory databases like SAP HANA, Oracle, and SQL Server. To learn more about U7i instances, visit the  High Memory instances page .

Amazon ECS Managed Instances now supports FIPS-certified workloads on Graviton and GPU accelerated instances in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Starting today, customers can deploy their Graviton-based and GPU-accelerated workloads on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances in a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) compliant mode in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. FIPS is a U.S. and Canadian government standard that specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules that protect sensitive information. In the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, Amazon ECS Managed Instances automatically enable FIPS compliance by default. ECS Managed Instances communicate through FIPS-compliant endpoints, use appropriately configured cryptographic modules, and boot the underlying kernel in FIPS mode. Customers with federal compliance requirements can run workloads with FIPS-validated cryptographic modules across a broad range of instance types, including Graviton-based, GPU-accelerated, network-optimized, and burstable performance instances. To learn more about FIPS, refer to  FIPS on AWS and AWS Fargate...

[MS] TypeScript AppHost in Aspire 13.2: same app model, different syntax - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Image
Aspire 13.2 brings TypeScript AppHost support to the same application model that existing Aspire users already know. You still define resources, references, startup dependencies, endpoints, and deployment intent in code. You still get the same dashboard, service discovery behavior, health checks, and deployment artifacts. The difference is the authoring surface: you can now write the AppHost in TypeScript and run it with Node.js. This makes Aspire a natural fit for TypeScript developers. Teams that already live in JavaScript and TypeScript can adopt Aspire without moving AppHost authoring into C#. Prerequisites Node.js 20 or later — runtime for the TypeScript AppHost An OCI-compatible container runtime — Docker Desktop or Podman Aspire CLI — installed via the commands below The .NET 10 SDK is only required when the AppHost is written in C# or when the application graph includes .NET projects Get started in a few commands Install the Aspire CLI, then verify the installa...

AWS DMS Schema Conversion with GenAI now available in 10 additional regions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) Schema Conversion with GenAI is now available in nine additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Osaka, Sydney), Europe (Ireland, London, Stockholm, Paris), Canada (Central) and US East (Ohio). This feature leverages Amazon Bedrock foundation models—including Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and Claude Sonnet 4—to automate database schema and code conversion, helping organizations accelerate their database modernization initiatives. The regional expansion enables customers to process their migration workloads locally, reducing latency and supporting data residency requirements. DMS Schema Conversion with GenAI automatically converts database schemas and code from Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Sybase to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. By automating the conversion process, the service significantly reduces manual effort and accelerates migration project timelines, enabling database adm...
