Feed: Recent Announcements. Today, AWS Compute Optimizer launches a new capability that makes it easier for customers to optimize their EC2 instances by leveraging multiple CPU architectures. Starting today, customers can specify both x86 and Arm as the preferred EC2 instance architecture for their EC2 instance type recommendations. When customers specify both, Compute Optimizer recommends up to 3 options selected from both x86-based and AWS Graviton-based instance types based on the best price/performance ratio for the workloads. In addition, Compute Optimizer now offers a migration effort rating, and a migration guide when it recommends Graviton instance options for existing x86-based ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. You can now access your instance's tags from the EC2 Instance Metadata Service. Tags enable you to categorize your AWS resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. This is useful when you have many resources of the same type—you can quickly identify a specific resource based on the tags that you've assigned to it. Previously, you could access your instance tags from the console or by using the describe-tags API. Now, by accessing tags from your instance metadata, you no longer need to use the DescribeInstance or DescribeTag API calls to retrieve tag ... Read More
