News & Announcements

To keep you up-to-date, here are the latest news items and announcements from AWS.

Amazon EC2 Launches New Availability Zone in US East
Starting today, you can use Amazon EC2 instances in Availability Zone us-east-1d. All existing EC2 features such as Amazon EC2 running Microsoft Windows, EBS, AMIs, and Elastic IPs will work just like in any other zone. Availability Zones are distinct locations that are designed to be insulated from failures in other zones. This allows you to protect your applications from possible failures in a single location. Availability Zones also provide inexpensive, low latency network connectivity to other Availability Zones in the same Region.

Now Available: Monitoring, Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing for Amazon EC2
Amazon EC2 customers can now access Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring AWS cloud resources, Auto Scaling for automatically growing and shrinking capacity based on demand, and Elastic Load Balancing for distributing incoming traffic across Amazon EC2 compute instances. Together, these capabilities provide businesses and developers with greater visibility into the health and usage of AWS compute resources, and allow them to further improve the performance of their applications and operate more efficiently.

Introducing AWS Import/Export for Physical Data Transfer
AWS has announced the limited beta of AWS Import/Export, a new offering that accelerates moving large amounts of data into and out of AWS using portable storage devices for transport. For significant data sets, AWS Import/Export is often faster than Internet transfer and more cost effective than upgrading your connectivity. You can use AWS Import/Export for migrating data into the cloud, sending backups to AWS, and interchanging data with others.

Amazon Simple Pay Subscriptions and Free Payment Processing Offer
You can now use Amazon Simple Pay Subscriptions to charge your customers on a recurring basis. If you offer digital content subscriptions, collect membership dues or recurring donations, this service is for you. Plus, now through September 30 get free payment processing for Amazon Simple Pay or Checkout by Amazon, a complete e-commerce checkout solution, offered by Amazon Payments.

Amazon CloudFront Adds Access Logging Capability
Amazon CloudFront has released access logs which show you details about every request delivered through Amazon CloudFront. They contain a comprehensive set of information about requests for your content, including the object requested, the date and time of the request, the edge location serving the request, the client IP address, the referrer and the user agent. There are no fees for using the access logs, beyond normal Amazon S3 charges to write, store and retrieve the logs.

AWS Security Center and Security Whitepaper
This week, we released the AWS Security Center, a central location from which you can obtain the latest versions of our security whitepaper, receive security updates and where you can report any security concerns. In addition, we've published the June 2009 version of our AWS Overview of Security Processes whitepaper (PDF), which should help answer additional questions about physical and operational security processes for network infrastructure controlled by AWS.

New Partner and Customer Announcements
Several partners and customers have recently announced new services on top of AWS: Citrix announced a new cloud solution called Citrix C3 Lab that allows companies of all sizes to use AWS as part of their standard technology infrastructure. Read more about Citrix and AWS. Pegasystems Inc., a provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software solutions, announced its new SmartPaaS Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering on AWS and Infonova, a Next Generation BSS vendor, announced the successful deployment of the Infonova BSS Release 6 on AWS.

Systems Integrator Training
AWS is offering technical training for qualified systems integrators building solutions and practices on our cloud computing services. Trainings are conducted on a recurring monthly basis at several locations in the U.S. and Europe. To apply, please send an email to aws-ecosystem@amazon.com.
