Thousands of cloud computing professionals and fans gathered in Las Vegas from November 28th to December 2nd for the 11th conference aws re:invent🇧🇷 They were able to listen to keynotes from Amazon cloud provider leaders, receive first-hand announcements of new services, and have a lot of fun.
As an AWS partner in Brazil, Flexa Cloud was present through its CEO Deivid Bitti. For him, seeing up close what AWS is planning was a privilege.
“The Continuity of Government IT (CGIT) program, for example, is a very interesting novelty. It was created to help governments protect their digital assets against attacks or interruptions”, highlights Bitti.
For the executive, AWS' socio-environmental commitment advances also deserve attention. “During the event, AWS made public its effort to become 'water positive' (water+) by 2030. They will return to communities more water than their operations consume, which shows how much they are socially and environmentally committed”.
There were more than 20 product and service launches during AWS re:invent
Among new launches and enhancements to existing solutions, more than 20 news were announced during the conference. Check it out below:
- From now on they are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud's new C7gn instances available for preview (Amazon EC2) — based on state-of-the-art AWS Graviton processors.
- General Availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud C6in Instances (Amazon EC2🇧🇷 They are based on 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with a turbo frequency of up to 3,5 GHz on all cores.
- General availability of M6in and M6idn instances of Amazon EC2 and R6in and R6idn instances do Amazon EC2🇧🇷 Optimized for 3th generation networking, they are powered by 3,5rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of up to XNUMX GHz.
- O Amazon QuickSight now supports paginated reports, which allow you to capture detailed operational data in custom formats to facilitate day-to-day, critical business processes.
- Now, the Amazon QuickSight also offers extended API capabilities to provide programmatic access to the underlying structure of QuickSight dashboards and analyzes using the AWS software development kit.
- AWS Local Zones are now available at four more metropolitan areas: Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Muscat. They can be used to deliver applications that require sub-10 millisecond latency or local data processing.
- AWS Lambda SnapStart: Provides up to 10X faster function startup performance at no additional cost. It is a performance optimization that makes it easy to build highly responsive and scalable Java applications using AWS Lambda, without having to provision resources or spend time and effort implementing complex performance optimizations.
- Amazon OpenSearch Serverless (preview): a serverless option on Amazon OpenSearch Service. Developers can use it to run petabyte-scale workloads without configuring, managing, and scaling OpenSearch clusters. They also get the same interactive millisecond response times as the OpenSearch service with the simplicity of a serverless environment.
- O Amazon Aurora Now Supports Zero-ETL Integration with Amazon Redshift, to enable near real-time analytics and machine learning (ML) using Amazon Redshift on petabytes of Aurora transactional data. Within seconds of transactional data being written to Aurora, the data is available in Amazon Redshift, so you don't have to build and maintain complex data pipelines to perform extract, transform, and load (ETL) operations.
- Amazon DataZone: for sharing, searching, and discovering data at scale across organizational boundaries. Also to collaborate on data projects through a unified data analytics portal that provides a personalized view of all data while enforcing proprietary governance and compliance policies.
- Amazon Redshift Integration for Apache Spark: simplifies and accelerates Apache Spark applications that access Amazon Redshift data from AWS analytics services such as Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, and Amazon SageMaker.
- Amazon SecurityLake: automatically centralizes security data from cloud, on-premises and custom sources into a dedicated data lake stored in the customer's AWS account.
- Amazon EC2 Inf2 Instances: Built specifically for deep learning (DL) inference, they are designed to deliver high performance at the lowest cost on Amazon EC2 for the most demanding DL applications.
- Amazon EC2 Hpc6id Instances: optimized to efficiently run high-performance computing (HPC) workloads that are data- and memory-bandwidth intensive, such as finite element analysis and seismic reservoir simulations. With EC2 Hpc6id instances, you can reduce the cost of your HPC workloads while leveraging the elasticity and scalability of AWS.
- AWS SimSpace Weaver: New fully managed computing service that helps you deploy large-scale spatial simulations in the cloud. With SimSpace Weaver, you can create integrated virtual worlds with millions of objects that can interact with each other in real time without managing backend infrastructure.
- Step-by-Step Guides for the Amazon Connect Agent Workspace: Provides a step-by-step (preview) experience that guides agents by identifying customer issues and recommending subsequent actions. With Amazon Connect, you can create workflows that guide agents through custom UI pages that suggest what to do at any given time during a customer interaction. Detailed step-by-step guides increase agent productivity and decrease training time.
- Forecasting, capacity planning, and product scheduling AmazonConnect are now available to everyone.
- AWS Supply Chain: new application that increases the visibility of the supply chain. The service allows for more agile and informed decision-making, mitigating risks, reducing costs and improving the customer experience.
- Amazon Omics: helps healthcare and life sciences organizations store, query, and analyze genomic, transcriptomic, and other omics data, and then generate insights from that data to improve health and advance scientific discovery.
- AWS Clean Rooms: Helps customers and their partners more easily and securely combine, analyze, and collaborate on their combined datasets without sharing or revealing underlying data.
- O Amazon QuickSightQ now includes automated data preparation enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), making it faster and more straightforward to augment existing dashboards for natural language questions. Preparing data for querying in natural language takes time and effort. Authors should envision the terms their users will enter and manually replicate field names and data type information from their dashboards.
- AWS Verified Access: In preview, is a new service that lets you provide secure access to corporate applications without a VPN. Created using the guiding principles of AWS Zero Trust , Verified Access helps you implement a work model from anywhere in a secure and scalable way.
- Amazon VPC Lattice: In preview, is an application-layer network service that simplifies connecting, securing, and monitoring service-to-service communication. You can use VPC Lattice to enable cross-account and VPC connectivity and application layer load balancing for your workloads consistently, regardless of the underlying compute type – instances, containers, and serverless.
