Feed: Recent Announcements. Backup providers need the ability to get incremental changes on EBS volumes so they can offer value added services to AWS customers. With EBS direct APIs for Snapshots, backup providers can now directly read snapshots and get differences between two snapshots without needing to create EBS volumes and EC2 instances. This makes it easy to get incremental changes on EBS volumes and enables them to achieve backups that are faster, more granular, and cost less ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. ECS Cluster Auto Scaling uses the new ECS Capacity Provider construct in ECS, also launching today, to manage Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Groups (ASG) on your behalf. Previously, ECS did not have the ability to directly manage the scaling of an ASG. Instead, you had to set up scaling policies on your ASG manually outside of ECS, and the metrics available for scaling did not account for the desired task count, only the tasks already running. With ECS Cluster Auto Scaling, the scaling policy of your ASG is managed by ECS through an ECS Capacity Provider. You ... Read More
