Amazon EC2 M8azn instances are now available in US East (Ohio) Region

Starting today, Amazon EC2 M8azn instances are now available in US East (Ohio) Region. These general purpose high-frequency high-network instances are powered by fifth generation AMD EPYC (formerly code named Turin) processors and offer the highest maximum CPU frequency, 5GHz in the cloud. M8azn instances offer up to 2x compute performance compared to previous generation M5zn instances, and up to 24% higher performance than M8a instances. M8azn instances deliver up to 4.3x higher memory bandwidth and 10x larger L3 cache compared to M5zn instances allowing latency-sensitive and compute-intensive workloads to achieve results faster. These instances also offer up to 2x networking throughput and up to 3x EBS throughput versus M5zn instances. Built on the AWS Nitro System using sixth generation Nitro Cards, these instances are ideal for applications such as real-time financial analytics, high-performance computing, high-frequency trading (HFT), CI/CD, intensive gaming, and simulation modeling for the automotive, aerospace, energy, and telecommunication industries. M8azn instances are available in 9 sizes ranging from 2 to 96 vCPUs with up to 384 GiB of memory, including two bare metal variants. To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. For more information visit the Amazon EC2 M8azn instance page.

Amazon EC2 R8a instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region

Starting today, Amazon EC2 R8a instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region. These instances, feature 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors (formerly code named Turin) with a maximum frequency of 4.5 GHz, deliver up to 30% higher performance, and up to 19% better price-performance compared to R7a instances. R8a instances deliver 45% more memory bandwidth compared to R7a instances, making these instances ideal for latency sensitive workloads. Compared to Amazon EC2 R7a instances, R8a instances provide up to 60% faster performance for GroovyJVM, allowing higher request throughput and better response times for business-critical applications. Built on the AWS Nitro System using sixth generation Nitro Cards, R8a instances are ideal for high performance, memory-intensive workloads, such as SQL and NoSQL databases, distributed web scale in-memory caches, in-memory databases, real-time big data analytics, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) applications. R8a instances offer 12 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes. Amazon EC2 R8a instances are SAP-certified, and providing 38% more SAPS compared to R7a instances. To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. For more information about the new instances, visit the Amazon EC2 R8a instance page.

Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals adds new SLO capabilities

Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals now offers three new console based capabilities for Service Level Objectives (SLOs): SLO Recommendations, Service-Level SLOs, and SLO Performance Report. CloudWatch Application Signals helps customers monitor and improve application performance on AWS. It automatically collects data from applications running on services like Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, and Lambda. Previously, customers had to manually set SLO thresholds without data-driven guidance, often leading to misconfigured targets and alert fatigue. They also lacked visibility into overall service health across operations and had no way to track reliability trends over time or generate calendar periods performance reports. These new capabilities address each of those gaps, making it easier to set data-driven reliability targets, monitor overall service health, and identify reliability trends before they become incidents. SLO Recommendations analyzes 30 days of service metrics (P99 latency and error rates) to suggest appropriate reliability targets. Customers can validate proposed targets before implementation to help reduce the cognitive and operational effort needed for new SLO deployments. Service-Level SLOs provide a holistic view of service reliability across all operations, simplifying alignment between technical monitoring and business objectives. SLO Performance Report provides historical analysis aligned with calendar periods, supporting daily, weekly, and monthly intervals. These capabilities support key use cases including proactive reliability management, SLO threshold optimization, and business reporting aligned with calendar periods. These features are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals is available. Pricing is based on the number of inbound and outbound requests to and from applications, plus Service Level Objectives charges, with each SLO generating 2 application signals per service level indicator metric period.
