You can now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems with the Intelligent-Tiering storage class in 8 additional AWS Regions across the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America. FSx Intelligent-Tiering is built for general-purpose file workloads such as file shares, archives, media libraries, and migrations from on-premises HDD storage. It automatically moves your data across three storage tiers (Frequent Access, Infrequent Access, and Archive) based on access patterns, and an optional SSD read cache keeps your active data fast. You get high performance for active workloads and low-cost storage for everything else, paying only for what you store with no capacity to manage. With FSx Intelligent-Tiering, you can save up to 85% compared to the FSx SSD storage class and up to 20% compared to on-premises HDD-based NAS. With this expansion, the FSx Intelligent-Tiering storage class is now available for FSx for OpenZFS file systems in the following additional AWS Regions: US West (N. ...

We're back with a fresh PowerToys release! This month introduces the brand-new Shortcut Guide , a major Command Palette update with the new Extension Gallery and multi-monitor Dock support , and a wave of improvements to Power Display. We've also upgraded PowerToys to .NET 10, improved auto-update reliability, reduced installer size , and continued modernizing the app experience across the suite. Grab the update by checking for updates in PowerToys or by heading to heading to the release page . Let's dive in! ⌨️ Introducing the new Shortcut Guide The new Shortcut Guide has been designed and built from the ground up. The new experience appears as a pane on the side of your screen and automatically detects the active application when invoked, showing the shortcuts that are relevant to what you're currently doing . In addition to app-specific shortcuts, Shortcut Guide also includes a wide range of Windows shortcuts and shortcuts from enabled PowerToys utilities . W...

A few small notes on rotation before you get sick of it. (Too late!) Reducing the number of rotations in the discontiguous swap problem from three to two also shows how the solution can be generalized to shuffling an arbitrary number of variable-sized blocks: Given k blocks, of total size n , you can shuffle them arbitrarily in at most kn swaps in constant space: Take the block that goes first and rotate it to the front, which takes n swaps. Then recurse on what's left. You can reduce the number of swaps by comparing the sizes of the block that goes first and the block that goes last and choose to swap the larger block to the corresponding extreme. I guess you could use this for sorting, but it's probably enough of a hassle that you'll just take the penalty of allocating a second block of memory rather than trying to be clever and doing it in-place. In online discussion of this article, I saw a number of people say, "You can do this with the XOR trick," b...

AWS Lambda Managed Instances (LMI) is now available in all commercial AWS Regions, except Israel (Tel Aviv), Middle East (Bahrain), Middle East (UAE), and Asia Pacific (Auckland).   LMI lets you run Lambda functions on managed Amazon EC2 instances, giving you access to specialized compute configurations and EC2 pricing advantages while maintaining Lambda's operational simplicity. LMI fully manages instance lifecycle, OS and runtime patching, routing, load balancing, and auto-scaling, so you can focus on writing code. You can process parallel requests within each execution environment, maximizing resource utilization and improving price-performance. You can further improve costs by leveraging EC2 pricing models including Compute Savings Plans and Reserved Instances. LMI is ideal for customers requiring specialized hardware configurations, as well as those with steady-state or predictable workloads seeking to optimize costs. You can continue building functions with familiar devel...

Amazon Redshift announces a new billing model for manual snapshots on Amazon Redshift Serverless and Amazon Redshift RG instances. With this enhancement, Amazon Redshift now meters manual snapshot storage based on the unique data blocks stored across your snapshots rather than the total size of each individual snapshot. This results in lower manual snapshot costs for customers who maintain multiple snapshots. Customers who maintain multiple manual snapshots for disaster recovery, testing, or long-term retention will see reduced storage costs. With this new billing model, you can take more frequent manual snapshots to achieve a better recovery point objective (RPO) without proportional cost increases, enabling more robust disaster recovery strategies. The new billing model automatically applies to both existing and new manual snapshots. The new manual snapshot billing model is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon Redshift Serverless and Amazo...
