Many workloads, such as genome analysis, training of machine learning models, High Performance Computing (HPC), and analytics applications depend on multiple compute instances accessing the same set of data. For these workloads, clusters of compute instances are commonly connected to a high-performance shared file system. HAQM FSx for Lustre makes it easy and cost-effective to […]

As we anticipated in this post, the anomaly and threat detection for HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) activities that was previously available in HAQM Macie has now been enhanced and reduced in cost by over 80% as part of HAQM GuardDuty.

Snapshots are incremental, only data modified since the last snapshots are copied again. You can share snapshots between AWS Regions, or AWS Accounts. Once you have […]

AWS Snowcone Today I would like […]

July 1, 2020: Post updated to take care that HAQM EFS increased file system minimum throughput, when burst credits are exhausted, to 1 MiB/s. I am very happy to announce that AWS Lambda functions can now mount an HAQM Elastic File System (HAQM EFS), a scalable and elastic NFS file system storing data within and across multiple availability […]
