It will help in dealing with operational issues, creating a proper schedule for maintenance, and keeping track of account notifications by offering centralised and real-time access to all of your AWS Health events. There is no complex functionality of the installation process for the Organisational View, anyone can start using it with the AWS Health API. Crossing the barriers of conventional services and features offered by them, the Organisational View offers several new benefits and will open gates to new possibilities. For instance, it brings awareness about issues that impact resources within an organisation by providing a centrally managed operations team keeping an eye on the complete process and can respond to events that affect your accounts. It also improves the troubleshooting capabilities of a system and provides information beforehand about future changes. Just like any other AWS Health API, the Organisational View is also available worldwide in all AWS Regions at no additional cost for users with a Business or Enterprise Support plan.

Amazon Connect introduced more APIs to list contact center resources

Amazon Connect is a self-service, cloud-based contact center service which is effortless for any business to provide quality customer service at lower cost. This Amazon Connect service depends on the identical contact center technology applied by Amazon customer service relates globally to power millions of customer conversations. The self-service graphical interface in Amazon Connect guides non-technical users to create contact flows, handle agents, and follow performance metrics and for this no further expertise needed. There is no infrastructure to handle with Amazon Connect. And there is also no any upfront charges or long-term commitments; users are charged by the minute for Amazon Connect utilization and any further related telephony services. Now Amazon Connect offers new APIs which allows you to programmatically list resources like queues, contact numbers, contact flows, and hours of operations in an Amazon Connect instance. For example, you can now utilize the List Queues API to fetch queue IDs at execution time and apply them with the queue metrics API to sort the data returned. Besides, the list APIs allow you to automate reoccurring manual methods. Refer API reference guide to know more about API. No charge is applicable to APIs utilization. To get the complete list APIs where Amazon Connect is available, refer AWS regions.

Cluster Tagging is now supported by Amazon EKS

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is an open-source organised service which helps to automate deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications and simple to execute Kubernetes on AWS excluding to stand up or keep your individual Kubernetes control plane. Amazon EKS executes Kubernetes control plane instances across different Availability Zones to certify high availability. This automatically identifies and substitutes harmful control plane instances, and provides automated version upgrades and patching for them. Earlier, it was hard to manage access to handle the EKS API for discrete clusters cause tagging was not available for Amazon EKS clusters and you could not add metadata that specified the motive of the cluster for reporting reasons. Now you can add AWS tags to your Amazon EKS clusters. This makes it simple to manage access to the EKS API for handling your clusters. Also you can add custom tags to each Amazon EKS cluster. These tags can be used to control access to the EKS API for handling the cluster with the help of IAM. Now, cluster tagging is supported for every new and existing EKS clusters through the AWS API, Console, and SDKs. Support for tagging clusters using CloudFormation and the eksctl command line tool is coming soon.

Data API Now Assisted By Amazon Aurora Serverless MySQL 5.6

Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database designed for the cloud, which unites the performance and availability of traditional enterprise databases with the lucidity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. Amazon Aurora Serverless is an on-demand, auto-scaling configuration for Amazon Aurora (MySQL-compatible edition), where the database will automatically start up, shut down, and scale capacity up or down related to your application's requirements. It allows you to execute your database in the cloud without handling any database instances. It's an easy, cost-effective choice for unusual, irregular, or uncertain workloads. Now Amazon Aurora Serverless MySQL 5.6 can be accessed with the help of the built-in Data API allowing you to access Aurora Serverless with web services-based applications, containing AWS Lambda, AWS AppSync, and AWS Cloud9. The Data API lets you to concentrate on creating your applications without bothering about handling database connections or connection pools. Rather, now you can use SQL commands against an Aurora Serverless cluster by only inducing an API endpoint offered by the Data API and the Data API handles the managing database connections and returning data. Further, the Data API leverages database credentials saved in AWS Secrets Manager, removing the requirement to proceed credentials in the API calls. Refer the documentation to know further on how to start with Data API. This feature Data API is accessible in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions.

Now Elastic Fabric Adapter Is Commonly Accessible

Elastic Fabric Adapter EFA is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances which allows users to execute High Performance Computing (HPC) applications needing high levels of inter-instance communications, like computational fluid dynamics, weather modeling, and reservoir simulation, at scale on AWS. It utilizes a custom-built operating system bypass method to improve the performance of inter-instance communications, which is important to scaling HPC applications. With EFA, HPC applications with the help of famous HPC technologies like Message Passing Interface (MPI) can scale to thousands of CPU cores. EFA gives assistance to industry-standard libfabric APIs, so applications which utilize a supported MPI library can be relocated to AWS with small or no change. Now, Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA), a low-latency network adapter for Amazon EC2 Instances, is commonly accessible for production use. EFA was introduced as a preview in November 2018. This new feature EFA is accessible as an optional EC2 networking feature which you can enable on C5n.18xl and P3dn.24xl instances without any extra xharges. Now EFA is accessible in US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU (Ireland), and AWS GovCloud (US). Assistance for extra instances and regions will be offered in the forth coming months. To know further on EFA for your HPC workloads, click here.

Now DynamoDBMapper Offers Assistance For Amazon DynamoDB Transactional API Calls

The AWS SDK for Java offers a DynamoDBMapper class, permitting you to link your client-side classes to DynamoDB tables. To access DynamoDBMapper, you specify the relationship between items in a DynamoDB table and their related object instances in your code. The DynamoDBMapper class allows you to access your tables, executes different create, read, update and delete (CRUD) operations, and run queries. Now DynamoDBMapper gives assistance to Amazon DynamoDB transactional API calls, allowing developers who utilize DynamoDBMapper to define their code when creation cooperated, all-or-nothing modifies to various items both within and across DynamoDB tables. Now, DynamoDBMapper can be utilized by developers to run transactions. The transactional APIs offer developers atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) operations in DynamoDB so that they can retain data accuracy in applications extra simply. Developers can help workflows and business logic which need adding, updating, or deleting multiple items as a single, atomic operation with transactions. This new feature is accessible in every standard AWS Regions where DynamoDB is available. Pricing for transactions is depends on the sizes of the items in the transactions. To download the AWS SDK for Java with the current version of the DynamoDBMapper class, refer AWS SDK for Java.
