In this Episode of AWS TechChat, Shane and Gabe perform a tech round up from July through to August of 2020 We started with containers as we spoke about ACK or the AWS Controller for Kubernetes which means you can leverage AWS services directly in or your Kubernetes applications. Amazon EKS now supports UDP load balancing with the NLB and sticking with Amazon EKS, it is now included in Compute Savings plan A huge win for customers. Still with containers, Amazon ECS now has launched the new ECS Optimized Inferentia AMI making it easier for customers to run Inferentia based containers on ECS. Compute wise, Inferentia based EC2 instances (Inf1) are now available in additional regions and EC2 Launch is now at v2 with a range of new features, I particularly like you can rename the administrator account. Graviton 2 based instances make their way in to a heap more regions, that is super awesome and they can now be consumed by Amazon EKS, and sticking with EKS with Fargate it can now mount AWS EFS based file systems Amazon Bracket is generally available which is development environment for you to explore and build quantum algorithms, test them on quantum circuit simulators, and run them on different quantum hardware technologies. We introduced a new EBS storage class, IO2 which fits in between IO1 and GP2 based volumes. It has 5 9s of durability and up to 64 000IOPS per volume On the development front, AWS Step Functions adds support for string manipulation, new comparison operators, and improved output processing, Amazon API Gateway adds integration with five AWS services, meaning you no longer need to proxy through code as well as Amazon API GW supporting enhanced observability via access logs. Amazon Lightsail now has a CDN, Lightsail CDN, which is backed by Amazon CloudFront it offers three fixed-price data plans, including an introductory plan that’s free for 12 months CloudFront, adds additional geo-location headers for more fine grain geo-tagging as-well as cache key and origin request policies providing more options to control and configure headers, query strings, and cookies that can be used to compute the cache key or forwarded to your origin. Lastly we introduced AWS Glue version 2 which has some some sizeable changes around functionality, cost and speed.
