This has been a busy week – we launched a brand new sort of Amazon CloudFront infrastructure, extra environment friendly methods to investigate knowledge saved on Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3), and new generative AI capabilities.
Final week’s launches
Right here’s what bought my consideration:
Amazon Bedrock – Mistral AI’s Mixtral 8x7B and Mistral 7B basis fashions are actually usually accessible on Amazon Bedrock. Extra particulars in Donnie’s put up. Right here’s a deep dive into Mistral 7B and Mixtral 8x7B fashions, by my colleague Mike.
Data Bases for Amazon Bedrock – With hybrid search help, you’ll be able to enhance the relevance of retrieved outcomes, particularly for key phrase searches. Extra info and examples on this put up on the AWS Machine Studying Weblog.
Amazon CloudFront – We introduced the availability of embedded Factors of Presence (POPs), a brand new kind of CloudFront infrastructure deployed closest to finish viewers, inside web service supplier (ISP) and cellular community operator (MNO) networks. Embedded POPs are custom-built to ship massive scale live-stream video, video-on-demand (VOD), and recreation downloads. Immediately, CloudFront has 600+ embedded POPs deployed throughout 200+ cities globally.
Amazon Kinesis Information Streams – That will help you analyze and visualize the info in your streams in real-time, now you can run SQL queries with one click on within the AWS Administration Console.
Amazon EventBridge – API locations now helps content-type header customization. By defining your personal content-type, you’ll be able to unlock extra HTTP targets for API locations, together with help for CloudEvents. Learn extra on this X/Twitter thread by Nik, principal engineer at AWS Lambda.
Amazon MWAA – Now you can create Apache Airflow model 2.8 environments on Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA). Extra on this AWS Massive Information weblog put up.
Amazon CloudWatch Logs – With CloudWatch Logs help for IPv6, you’ll be able to simplify your community stack by operating Amazon CloudWatch log teams on a dual-stack community that helps each IPv4 and IPv6. You’ll find extra info on AWS companies that help IPv6 within the documentation.
SQL Workbench for Amazon DynamoDB – As you utilize this client-side utility that can assist you visualize and construct scalable, high-performance knowledge fashions, now you can clone tables between improvement environments. With this function, you’ll be able to develop and check your code with Amazon DynamoDB tables in the identical state throughout a number of improvement environments.
AWS Cloud Growth Package (AWS CDK) – The new AWS AppConfig Degree 2 (L2) constructs simplify provisioning of AWS AppConfig sources, together with function flags and dynamic configuration knowledge.
Amazon Location Service – Now you can use the authentication libraries for iOS and Android platforms to simplify the mixing of Amazon Location Service into cellular apps. The libraries help API key and Amazon Cognito authentication.
Amazon SageMaker – Now you can speed up Amazon SageMaker Mannequin Coaching utilizing the Amazon S3 Categorical One Zone storage class to realize quicker load instances for coaching knowledge, checkpoints, and mannequin outputs. S3 Categorical One Zone is purpose-built to ship the quickest cloud object storage for performance-critical functions, and delivers constant single-digit millisecond request latency and excessive throughput.
Amazon Information Firehose – Now helps message extraction for CloudWatch Logs. CloudWatch log data use a nested JSON construction, and the message in every document is embedded inside header info. It’s now simpler to filter out the header info and ship solely the embedded message to the vacation spot, lowering the price of subsequent processing and storage.
Amazon OpenSearch – Terraform now helps Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion deployments, a completely managed knowledge ingestion tier for Amazon OpenSearch Service that lets you ingest and course of petabyte-scale knowledge earlier than indexing it in Amazon OpenSearch-managed clusters and serverless collections. Learn extra on this AWS Massive Information weblog put up.
AWS Mainframe Modernization – AWS Blu Age Runtime is now accessible for seamless deployment on Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate to run modernized functions in serverless containers.
AWS Native Zones – A new Native Zone in Atlanta helps functions that require single-digit millisecond latency to be used circumstances equivalent to real-time gaming, hybrid migrations, media and leisure content material creation, stay video streaming, engineering simulations, and extra.
