Announcing Region Expansion of P6-B200 instances on SageMaker Studio notebooks - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

We are pleased to announce general availability of Amazon EC2 P6-B200 instances in AWS US East (N. Virginia) on SageMaker Studio notebooks. Amazon EC2 P6-B200 instances  are powered by 8 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with 1440 GB of high-bandwidth GPU memory and 5th Generation Intel Xeon processors (Emerald Rapids). These instances deliver up to 2x better performance compared to P5en instances for AI training. Customers can use P6-B200 instances to interactively develop and fine-tune large foundation models, including LLMs, mixture of experts models, and multi-modal reasoning models. These instances enable efficient experimentation with larger models directly in JupyterLab or CodeEditor environments for generative AI applications such as enterprise copilots and content generation across text, images, and video. Visit developer guides for instructions on setting up and using  JupyterLab  and  CodeEditor  applications on  SageMaker Studio . For pricing infor...

ENA Express for Amazon EC2 instances now supports traffic between Availability Zones - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) Express now supports traffic between Amazon EC2 instances in different Availability Zones within a Region, delivering up to 25 Gbps single-flow bandwidth. ENA Express is a networking feature that uses the AWS Scalable Reliable Datagram (SRD) protocol to improve network performance. SRD is a reliable network protocol that delivers performance improvements through advanced congestion control and multi-pathing. Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) io2 Block Express and Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) for high performance computing and machine learning workloads also leverage SRD. Workloads such as distributed storage, databases, and file systems require deployments spanning multiple Availability Zones for resilience, yet single flows between zones support up to 5 Gbps with ENA. ENA Express delivers up to 25 Gbps single-flow bandwidth for traffic between Availability Zones. To achieve this, ENA Express detects compatibility between your EC2 instances and establ...

AWS WAF introduces dynamic label interpolation for custom request and response handling - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS WAF now supports dynamic label interpolation, enabling you to forward WAF classification signals to your origin and embed context in responses with a single rule. Security engineers who previously maintained a separate rule for every signal value can now use ${namespace:} syntax in custom request headers, response headers, and response bodies to forward an entire label namespace at once. For example, one rule with a dynamic variable can forward all IP reputation signals to your application, which can then respond adaptively, such as by enforcing MFA. Interpolation also introduces synthetic labels: built-in values resolved from request context, including client IP address, WAF request ID, and JA3 and JA4 fingerprints. You can embed these in custom block pages and challenge pages so users reporting false positives have a reference ID to cite, or forward TLS fingerprints to your application for adaptive auth decisions. Interpolation works with any label namespace, including AWS Mana...

AWS Transform adds containerization capability during migrations - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Transform now supports replatforming applications to containers during migration to AWS. This release extends AWS Transform's agentic AI capabilities to automate the containerization of your source code, enabling you to migrate and modernize in parallel, reducing the time and complexity of moving from on-premises to cloud-native architectures. Migration teams can containerize source code from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or .zip files, generate Docker images, publish to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) , and deploy to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS ) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) . This brings containerization into the same workflow your team uses to plan and execute rehost migrations. AWS Transform analyzes your source code repositories, generates Dockerfiles, and builds container images with integrated security scanning for common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). It produces deployment-ready Terraform infrastructure-as-code...

[MS] Publishing VM Applications in a Secure World - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Many of you who have published VM Applications may have come across a difficult conundrum regarding security. To create an application version, you must upload your application package to a Storage blob, then provide the address of that Storage blob for replication to occur. The problem comes to the uri of the package. Until recently, there have been two options. Make the blob public, meaning that anyone in the world can access the package. Create a SAS uri. This provides  some more security in that you can make the SAS read-only and with a limited expiration. However, if someone somehow obtains that url, they'll have access to that application package. For this reason, many organizations discourage use of SAS urls. Before I move to the solution, a few quick words about SAS urls. First, user delegated SAS urls are sadly not supported, because the service that manages the replication can't impersonate the user. Second, you may have a question about reuse of the url. ...

Amazon Connect adds default Step-by-Step Guides for After Contact Work - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Connect now supports Default Guides for After Contact Work (ACW), enabling contact center administrators to automatically launch a Step-by-Step Guide when an agent enters the ACW state without any manual work.  This capability helps contact centers standardize post-contact workflows and reduce handle time by ensuring agents are automatically guided through required wrap-up tasks, such as logging disposition codes, updating cases, or completing follow-up actions. By eliminating the need for agents to manually navigate to the correct application during ACW, organizations can improve consistency, reduce errors, and accelerate agent productivity across their contact center operations.  To learn more and get started, visit the Amazon Connect  webpage  and  documentation.
