AWS Summit season is in full swing globally. Last week, events were held in Bengaluru, Berlin, and Seoul, where my fellow blogger Channy gave the keynote address.
Released last week
Here are a few releases that caught my attention:
Amazon S3 no longer charges for multiple HTTP error codes. – A customer reported how they were billed for an Amazon S3 API request that they did not initiate, and as a result AccessDenied error. The Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) service team has updated the service to no longer charge you for these API requests. As always when talking about pricing, precision is important, so read our What’s New post for more details.
Introducing Amazon EC2 C7i-flex Instances – These instances offer up to 19% better price performance compared to C6i instances. Using C7i-flex instances is the easiest way to achieve price/performance benefits for most compute-intensive workloads. The new instances are based on 4th generation Intel
Application Load Balancer launches IPv6-only support for internet clients – Application Load Balancer now allows customers to provision a load balancer without IPv4 for clients that can only connect using IPv6. To connect, clients can check the AAAA DNS record assigned to the Application Load Balancer. The Application Load Balancer is still dual stack for communication between the load balancer and targets. This new feature allows flexibility in application targeting while avoiding costs for clients that do not require either IPv4 or IPv6.
Amazon VPC Lattice now supports TLS Passthrough.h – Announced general availability of TLS passthrough for Amazon VPC Lattice. This allows customers to enable end-to-end authentication and encryption using their existing TLS or mTLS implementation. Prior to this release, VPC Lattice only supported the HTTP and HTTPS listener protocols, which terminate TLS and perform request-level routing and load balancing based on information in HTTP headers.
Amazon OpenSearch Service and Amazon DocumentDB Zero ETL Integration – This new integration uses the OpenSearch API to provide advanced search capabilities such as fuzzy search, cross-collection search, and multilingual search on Amazon DocumentDB (MongoDB-compatible) documents. You can now sync data from Amazon DocumentDB to Amazon OpenSearch Service with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, eliminating the need to write custom code to extract, transform, and load data.
Amazon EventBridge now supports customer-managed keys (CMKs) for event buses. – This feature allows you to encrypt your events using your own keys instead of AWS-owned keys (used by default). With CMK support, you now have more granular security control over your events to meet your company’s security requirements and governance policies.

Here are some additional news items, open source projects, and Twitch shows you may find interesting.
4 Keys to Email Reputation Management – Dustin Taylor is the Abuse Prevention and Email Delivery Manager for Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). He wrote an amazing post exploring the Amazon SES approach to domain and IP reputation management. Maintaining a high reputation ensures an optimal inbox for your inbox. His post outlines how Amazon SES protects your network reputation to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality email. Even if you don’t email on a large scale, this book is worth a read. I learned a lot.
