This has been a busy week – we launched a brand new form of Amazon CloudEntrance infrastructure, extra environment friendly methods to research knowledge saved on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and new generative AI capabilities.
Last week’s launches
Here’s what obtained my consideration:
Amazon Bedrock – Mistral AI’s Mixtral 8x7B and Mistral 7B basis fashions at the moment are typically out there on Amazon Bedrock. More particulars in Donnie’s put up. Here’s a deep dive into Mistral 7B and Mixtral 8x7B fashions, by my colleague Mike.
Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock – With hybrid search help, you’ll be able to enhance the relevance of retrieved outcomes, particularly for key phrase searches. More data and examples on this put up on the AWS Machine Learning Blog.
Amazon CloudEntrance – We introduced the availability of embedded Points of Presence (POPs), a brand new sort of CloudEntrance infrastructure deployed closest to finish viewers, inside web service supplier (ISP) and cellular community operator (MNO) networks. Embedded POPs are custom-built to ship giant scale live-stream video, video-on-demand (VOD), and sport downloads. Today, CloudEntrance has 600+ embedded POPs deployed throughout 200+ cities globally.
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams – To make it easier to analyze and visualize the information in your streams in real-time, now you can run SQL queries with one click on within the AWS Management Console.
Amazon EventBridge – API locations now helps content-type header customization. By defining your individual content-type, you’ll be able to unlock extra HTTP targets for API locations, together with help for CloudEvents. Read extra on this X/Twitter thread by Nik, principal engineer at AWS Lambda.
Amazon MWAA – You can now create Apache Airflow model 2.8 environments on Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA). More on this AWS Big Data 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 can discover extra data on AWS providers that help IPv6 within the documentation.
SQL Workbench for Amazon DynamoDB – As you employ this client-side software that will help you visualize and construct scalable, high-performance knowledge fashions, now you can clone tables between growth environments. With this characteristic, you’ll be able to develop and take a look at your code with Amazon DynamoDB tables in the identical state throughout a number of growth environments.
AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) – The new AWS AppConfig Level 2 (L2) constructs simplify provisioning of AWS AppConfig assets, together with characteristic flags and dynamic configuration knowledge.
Amazon Location Service – You can now 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 – You can now accelerate Amazon SageMaker Model Training utilizing the Amazon S3 Express One Zone storage class to realize quicker load instances for coaching knowledge, checkpoints, and mannequin outputs. S3 Express One Zone is purpose-built to ship the quickest cloud object storage for performance-critical purposes, and delivers constant single-digit millisecond request latency and excessive throughput.
Amazon Data 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 data. It’s now simpler to filter out the header data and ship solely the embedded message to the vacation spot, decreasing the price of subsequent processing and storage.
Amazon OpenSearch – Terraform now helps Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion deployments, a totally managed knowledge ingestion tier for Amazon OpenSearch Service that permits you to ingest and course of petabyte-scale knowledge earlier than indexing it in Amazon OpenSearch-managed clusters and serverless collections. Read extra on this AWS Big Data weblog put up.
AWS Mainframe Modernization – AWS Blu Age Runtime is now out there for seamless deployment on Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate to run modernized purposes in serverless containers.
AWS Local Zones – A new Local Zone in Atlanta helps purposes 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.

Introducing the AWS WAF visitors overview dashboard – A brand new software that will help you make knowledgeable choices about your safety posture for purposes protected by AWS WAF.
Some recommendations on enhance the velocity and price of excessive efficiency computing (HPC) deployment with Mountpoint for Amazon S3, an open supply file consumer that you need to use to mount an S3 bucket in your compute situations, accessing it as a neighborhood file system.
My colleague Ricardo writes this weekly open supply publication, through which he highlights new open supply initiatives, instruments, and demos from the AWS Community.
Upcoming AWS occasions
You can really feel it within the air–the AWS Summits season is coming again! The first ones will probably be in Europe, you’ll be able to be a part of us in Paris (April 3), Amsterdam (April 9), and London (April 24). On March 12, you’ll be able to meet public sector business leaders and AWS consultants on the AWS Public Sector Symposium in Brussels.
AWS Innovate are an internet occasions designed that will help you develop the precise abilities to design, deploy, and function infrastructure and purposes. AWS Innovate Generative AI + Data Edition for Americas is on March 14. It follows those for Asia Pacific & Japan and EMEA that we held in February.
There are nonetheless just a few AWS Community re:Invent re:Cap occasions organized by volunteers from AWS User Groups and AWS Cloud Clubs around the globe to study in regards to the newest bulletins from AWS re:Invent.
You can browse all upcoming in-person and digital occasions right here.
That’s all for this week. Check again subsequent Monday for an additional Weekly Roundup!
