Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) Assists Stopping and Starting Clusters

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a rapid, trusted, and entirely organized database service. With Amazon DocumentDB, it’s simple to set up, operate, and scale MongoDB-compatible databases in the cloud. You can execute the same application code and utilize the same drivers and tools that you use with MongoDB with the help of Amazon DocumentDB. Amazon DocumentDB is planned for 99.99% availability and duplicates six copies of your data over three AWS Availability Zones (AZs). Now Amazon DocumentDB permits you to start and stop clusters. This new feature Stoppping and Starting clusters makes simple and inexpensive to utilize Amazon DocumentDB clusters for development and test purposes where the cluster is not needed to be running all of the time. Stopping and starting a cluster needs few clicks in the AWS Management Console or a single call with the AWS Command Line Interface and requires only few minutes to finish. Stopping a cluster stops the primary instance and all replica instances. You only need to pay for cluster storage, manual snapshots and automated backup storage within your defined retention window during your cluster is stopped, but not for instance hours. You can stop a cluster for up to seven days at a time. After seven days, the cluster will be automatically started. To know further on the Amazon DocumentDB, refer documentation.

Reader Endpoints For Redis Introduced By Amazon ElastiCache

Amazon ElastiCache provides completely organized Redis and Memcached. Smoothly deploy, run, and scale famous open source compatible in-memory data stores. Amazon ElastiCache is a best suit for Gaming, Ad-Tech, Financial Services, Healthcare, and IoT apps. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis is fast in-memory data store which offers sub-millisecond latency to power internet-scale real-time applications. Now you can use one reader endpoint to join to your Redis read copies. Thus far, to seamlessly join to your read copies you had to handle several endpoints at the application level. The new feature lets you to instruct all read traffic to your ElastiCache for Redis cluster via one, cluster-level endpoint. A reader endpoint will divide incoming connections to the endpoint between all read copies in a Redis cluster. Reader endpoints keep up with cluster alters in real-time as replicas are added or removed. You can put your Redis cluster’s several read copies in multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZ) to certify high availability of reader endpoints. Now Reader endpoints are accessible in every AWS regions at no costs. Reader endpoints operate with ElastiCache for Redis clusters with cluster-mode deactivated. For Redis clusters with cluster-mode activated, users can use Redis clients like Redisson which help recurring topology finding of read copies. To read further on this feature, refer the ElastiCache for Redis developer guide.

Third Availability Zone Added By AWS To The Asia Pacific - Mumbai Region

Amazon cloud computing resources are stored in different locations across global. These locations are collaboration of AWS Regions and Availability Zones. Every AWS Region are located in different geographic areas. And each AWS Region has several, remote locations known as Availability Zones. Availability Zones located in AWS Regions contains one or more individual data centers, all of which has redundant power, networking, and connectivity, and is housed in separate facilities. Each AZ has various internet connections and power connections to multiple grids. Now, AWS adds a new Availability Zone to the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region to serve an increasing rate of users and expanding utilization of the Region. This new third availability zone offers users with extra flexibility to design and configure scalable, fault-tolerant, and highly available applications in AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and will give assistance to further AWS services in India. With this new addition of AZ, the AWS global AZ total to 65 AZs within 21 geographic Regions across the globe.
