Amazon EC2 C9g and C9gd instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C9g and C9gd instances, powered by AWS Graviton5 processors, are available in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region. AWS Graviton5 processors are the fifth generation of custom-designed CPUs, delivering the best price performance for compute-intensive workloads running on Amazon EC2.
C9g and C9gd instances deliver up to 25% better compute performance compared to AWS Graviton4-based C8g and C8gd instances. They are up to 30% faster for databases, up to 35% faster for web applications, and up to 35% faster for machine learning. These instances are built on the sixth-generation AWS Nitro System and are the first to feature the Nitro Isolation Engine, harnessing formal verification to provide mathematical assurance that customer workloads are isolated from each other and AWS operators, pioneering a new standard for mathematically proven cloud security.
C9g instances are ideal for workloads such as high-performance computing (HPC), batch processing, gaming, video encoding, scientific modeling, distributed analytics, CPU-based machine learning (ML) inference, real time analytics, and ad serving. C9gd instances offer local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage for customers running compute-intensive workloads that also require high-speed, low-latency local storage for scratch space, temporary files, and caches.
C9g and C9gd instances are available for purchase in Asia Pacific (Tokyo) via Savings Plans, On-Demand, Spot instances, Dedicated instances, or Dedicated hosts. Level up your compute with AWS Graviton and get started today.

AWS Transfer Family SFTP Connectors now support continuing file transfers during credential rotation

AWS Transfer Family SFTP Connectors now continue running file transfers while you rotate the credentials used to authenticate with remote SFTP servers. You no longer need to update the connector to point to a new secret version each time a credential rotates, removing a manual step and helping avoid failed transfers during the rotation window.
Connectors can now retrieve credentials from an ordered list of AWS Secrets Manager version stages, such as the current and previous versions, during authentication. The connector automatically tries each version in the order you specify and proceeds with the first that succeeds, so transfers continue uninterrupted as credentials are rotated on either side. You configure this when you create or update a connector, and the connector’s credentials must be stored in AWS Secrets Manager.
Support for continuing transfers during credential rotation is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transfer Family SFTP Connectors are supported. To learn more, visit the AWS Transfer Family User Guide. Get started with AWS Transfer Family in the AWS Transfer Family console.

Amazon EC2 C8g instances now available in additional regions

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8g instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei, New Zealand), and AWS GovCloud (US-East) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances. Amazon EC2 C8g instances are built for compute-intensive workloads, such as high performance computing (HPC), batch processing, gaming, video encoding, scientific modeling, distributed analytics, CPU-based machine learning (ML) inference, and ad serving. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads. AWS Graviton4-based Amazon EC2 instances deliver the best performance and energy efficiency for a broad range of workloads running on Amazon EC2. These instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPUs and memory compared to Graviton3-based Amazon C7g instances. AWS Graviton4 processors are up to 40% faster for databases, 30% faster for web applications, and 45% faster for large Java applications than AWS Graviton3 processors. C8g instances are available in 12 different instance sizes, including two bare metal sizes. They offer up to 50 Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). To learn more, see Amazon EC2 C8g Instances. To explore how to migrate your workloads to Graviton-based instances, see AWS Graviton Fast Start program and Porting Advisor for Graviton. To get started, see the AWS Management Console.

AWS MCP Server adds a serverless capability for AWS Lambda functions

Today, AWS Model Context Protocol Server (AWS MCP Server) added a serverless capability so that coding agents such as Claude Code and Kiro can efficiently diagnose issues with your Lambda functions. The serverless capability helps you troubleshoot your running Lambda functions and their connected resources.
The AWS MCP Server, available through the Agent Toolkit for AWS or as a standalone installation, is a managed service that gives AI coding agents secure access to AWS services. With the new AWS MCP Sever serverless capability, your coding agent inspects your Lambda function and its connected resources across Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SNS, Amazon SQS, and AWS Step Functions. The agent can correlate error signals against a 7-day baseline to pinpoint what changed, surface recurring errors to identify trends, retrieve the deployed configuration of your function and connected resources, provide a timeline of recent changes to track what happened, and analyze service latency across connected resources. As the agent gets comprehensive data in a single call, it consumes fewer tokens compared to orchestrating multiple API calls.
To get started, configure the Agent toolkit for AWS by running ‘aws configure agent-toolkit’ from the AWS CLI, or enable the AWS MCP Server directly.
The AWS MCP Server can access services in all commercial AWS Regions, while the AWS MCP Server itself runs in the US East (N. Virginia) and Europe (Frankfurt) Regions. The serverless diagnostic capabilities in the AWS MCP Server are available at no additional cost. To learn more, see the user guide.

Amazon EC2 P6-B300 instances are now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) P6-B300 instances are available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region. P6-B300 instances provide 8xNVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs with 2.1 TB high bandwidth GPU memory, 6.4 Tbps EFA networking, 300 Gbps dedicated ENA throughput, and 4 TB of system memory.
P6-B300 instances deliver 2x networking bandwidth, 1.5x GPU memory size, and 1.5x GPU TFLOPS (at FP4, without sparsity) compared to P6-B200 instances, making them well suited to train and deploy large trillion-parameter foundation models (FMs) including large language models (LLMs) with sophisticated techniques. The higher networking and larger memory deliver faster training times and more token throughput for AI workloads.
P6-B300 instances are now available in p6-b300.48xlarge size in the following AWS Regions: US West (Oregon), AWS GovCloud (US-East), US East (N. Virginia), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Jakarta, Seoul), and South America (Sao Paulo) Regions. To learn more about P6-B300 instances, visit Amazon EC2 P6 instances.
