During
AWS Summit New York – 2019 AWS announced many new services, launched existing
services in new region and added new features in existing services. Personally,
I liked Event Bridge and CloudWatch Container insights. Below are highlights of these services
Introducing Amazon EventBridge
Amazon EventBridge is
a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications together
using data from your own applications, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
applications, and AWS services. EventBridge delivers a stream of real-time data
from event sources, such Zendesk, Datadog, or Pagerduty, and routes that data
to targets like AWS Lambda.
You can set up routing
rules to determine where to send your data to build application architectures
that react in real time to all of your data sources. EventBridge allows you to
build event-driven architectures, which are loosely coupled and distributed.
This improves developer agility as well as application resiliency. EventBridge
makes it easy to build event-driven applications because it takes care of event
ingestion and delivery, security, authorization, and error-handling for you.
EventBridge leverages the CloudWatch Events
API, so CloudWatch Events users can access their existing default bus, rules,
and events in the new EventBridge console, as well as in the CloudWatch Events
console.
Introducing Amazon CloudWatch
Container Insights for Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate - Now in Preview
Amazon CloudWatch
Container Insights is now available in preview to monitor, isolate, and
diagnose your containerized applications and microservices environments. With
this preview, DevOps and systems engineers have access to automated dashboards
summarizing the performance and health of their Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and AWS Fargate clusters by tasks,
containers, and services.
Optimize Cost with Amazon EFS
Infrequent Access Lifecycle Management (Cost Optimization)
You can now choose
from four Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Lifecycle Management policies
to automatically move files into the EFS Infrequent Access (EFS IA) storage
class and save up to 85% as your access patterns change. Additionally, you can
now enable Lifecycle Management for all EFS file systems.
AWS Elemental MediaLive Now Supports
AWS CloudFormation (Good feature for Media domain)
You can now use AWS CloudFormation templates
to create and configure AWS Elemental MediaLive channels (both inputs and
outputs). This improvement enables you to use AWS CloudFormation to deploy
MediaLive resources in a secure, efficient, and repeatable way.
