Feed: Recent Announcements. You can now add nodes to SAP systems deployed with AWS Launch Wizard from within the Launch Wizard console post-deployment if your performance needs increase. This allows you to scale the infrastructure supporting SAP applications (S/4HANA, BW/4HANA, and NetWeaver) deployed with Launch Wizard using the same guided, best-practice-aligned deployment process. As you on-board new users to your SAP applications on AWS, extend them to new regions, or implement new functionality, your application performance requirements will likely grow, requiring you to add more app servers or database worker nodes. With this launch, you can add pre-configured app servers or ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Pranaya Anshu. This post is written by Carlos Manzanedo Rueda, WW SA Leader for EC2 Spot, and Brandon Wagner, Senior Software Development Engineer for EC2. This post focuses on how you can leverage recently released tools to optimize your usage of Amazon EC2 Spot Instances on Kubernetes Operations (kOps) clusters. Spot Instances let you utilize unused capacity in the AWS cloud for up to 90% off compared to On-Demand prices, and they are a great fit for fault-tolerant, containerized applications. kOps is an open source project providing a cohesive toolset for provisioning, operating, and deleting ...

Feed: Recent Announcements. AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) now helps optimize scaling decisions for improved performance and resilience with Amazon CloudWatch. Starting today, AWS Managed Microsoft AD provides domain controller and directory utilization metrics in Amazon CloudWatch for new and existing directories automatically. Analyzing these utilization metrics helps you quantify your average and peak load times to identify the need for additional domain controllers. With this, you can define the number of domain controllers to meet your performance, resilience, and cost requirements. AWS Managed Microsoft AD provides utilization metrics in Amazon CloudWatch such as CPU, Memory, ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. With Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling’s new predictive scaling policy, you can now use custom metrics to predict the EC2 instance capacity needed by an Auto Scaling group. Predictive scaling proactively increases the capacity of an Auto Scaling group to meet predicted demand. For workloads that experience recurring, steep demand changes, predictive scaling can help improve your application’s responsiveness without having to overprovision capacity, resulting in lower EC2 costs. Custom metrics are useful when the predefined metrics (CPU Utilization, Network I/O, and ALB Request Count) are not sufficient to capture the load on your application. Previously, you could ...

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Pranaya Anshu. This post is written by Ankur Sethi, Product Manager for EC2. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling allows customers to realize the elasticity benefits of AWS by automatically launching and shutting down instances to match application demand. Earlier this year we introduced predictive scaling, a new EC2 Auto Scaling policy that predicts demand and proactively scales capacity, resulting in better availability of your applications (if you are new to predictive scaling, I suggest you read this blog post before proceeding). In this blog, I will walk you through how to use a new feature, predictive scaling ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Heather Jordan Cartwright. Disconnected medical data sets are everywhere. Particularly in the imaging segment, the growth in the number of devices, data size, and types of data being captured is breaking the traditional systems for managing data on-premises. Many companies are turning to the cloud for scale, but the smart ones are choosing purpose-built health technology that goes beyond just pushing data to a lake for storage or consolidation. Leaders in the imaging industry like ZEISS are focused on innovation that’s purpose-built for healthcare, choosing cloud technology that allows for interoperability to connect and exchange ...

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon Redshift now scales write queries with Concurrency Scaling. Concurrency Scaling supports virtually unlimited concurrent users and concurrent queries, with consistently fast query performance. Now your write queries such as COPY, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE can run on transient Concurrency Scaling clusters when there is queueing. If you are currently using Concurrency Scaling, this new capability is automatically enabled in your cluster. You can monitor your Concurrency Scaling usage using Amazon Redshift Console and get alerts on usage exceeding your defined limits. You can also create, modify, and delete usage limits programmatically by using the AWS CLI ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that makes it easier for you to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications. Cluster auto scaling is an Amazon ECS capability that manages the scaling of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Auto Scaling groups on your behalf, so that you can just focus on running your tasks. We have made several optimizations in capacity providers, which now enable Amazon ECS to adjust cluster capacity in a more responsive manner, especially in cases when a cluster needs to scale-out to launch a large number of tasks (>100 tasks) or ...
