Validate best practice compliance for SAP ABAP applications with AWS Systems Manager

AWS Systems Manager (AWS SSM) Configuration Manager now allows you to automatically test SAP ABAP based applications on AWS against best practices defined in the AWS Well-Architected Framework SAP Lens. Keeping SAP applications optimally configured requires SAP administrators to stay current with best practices from multiple sources including AWS, SAP, and operating system vendors and manually check their configurations to validate adherence. AWS SSM Configuration Manager automatically assesses SAP applications running on AWS against these standards, proactively identifying misconfigurations and recommending specific remediation steps, allowing you to make the necessary changes before potential impacts to business operations. With this launch, configuration checks can be scheduled or run on-demand for SAP HANA and ABAP applications. SSM for SAP Configuration Manager is available in AWS Regions where SSMSAP is available. To learn more, read the launch blog, or refer to the AWS Systems Manager for SAP documentation.

AWS DataSync increases scalability and performance for on-premises file transfers

AWS DataSync Enhanced mode now supports data transfers between on-premises file servers and Amazon S3, enabling customers to transfer datasets that scale to virtually unlimited numbers of files at higher levels of performance than DataSync Basic mode. AWS DataSync is a secure, high-speed file transfer service that optimizes data movement over a network. Enhanced mode uses parallel processing to deliver higher performance and scalability for datasets of any size, while removing file count limitations and providing detailed transfer metrics for better monitoring and management. Previously, Enhanced mode was available for data transfers between Amazon S3 locations and for multicloud transfers. This launch extends the capabilities of Enhanced mode to support transfers between on-premises NFS or SMB file servers, and Amazon S3. Using Enhanced mode, customers can accelerate generative AI workloads by rapidly moving training datasets to AWS, power data lake analytics by synchronizing on-premises data with cloud-based pipelines, and drive large-scale migrations for archival and cloud modernization. This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DataSync is offered. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. For more information, see the AWS DataSync documentation.

Amazon EC2 C7i instances are now available in the Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i instances powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) are available in the Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region. C7i instances are supported by custom Intel processors, available only on AWS. C7i instances deliver up to 15% better price-performance versus C6i instances and are a great choice for all compute-intensive workloads, such as batch processing, distributed analytics, ad-serving, and video encoding. C7i instances offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge, and two bare metal sizes (metal-24xl, metal-48xl). These bare-metal sizes support built-in Intel accelerators: Data Streaming Accelerator, In-Memory Analytics Accelerator, and QuickAssist Technology that are used to facilitate efficient offload and acceleration of data operations and optimize performance for workloads. C7i instances support new Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) that accelerate matrix multiplication operations for applications such as CPU-based ML. Customers can attach up to 128 EBS volumes to a C7i instance vs. up to 28 EBS volumes to a C6i instance. This allows processing of larger amounts of data, scale workloads, and improved performance over C6i instances. To learn more, visit Amazon EC2 C7i Instances. To get started, see the AWS Management Console.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL now supports integration with Kiro powers

Today, AWS announces Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition integration with Kiro powers, enabling developers to build Aurora PostgreSQL backed applications faster with AI agent-assisted development using Kiro. Kiro powers is a repository of curated and pre-packaged Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, steering files, and hooks validated by Kiro partners to accelerate specialized software development and deployment use cases. Kiro power for Aurora PostgreSQL packages the MCP server with targeted database development guidance, giving the Kiro agent instant expertise in Aurora PostgreSQL operations and schema design. Kiro power for Aurora PostgreSQL bundles direct database connectivity through the Aurora PostgreSQL MCP server for data plane operations (queries, table creation, schema management), and control plane operations (cluster creation) and the steering file with Aurora PostgreSQL–specific best practices. When developers work on database tasks, the power dynamically loads relevant guidance – whether creating new Aurora clusters, designing schemas, or optimizing queries – so AI agents receive only the context needed for the specific task at hand.
