In this Episode of AWS TechChat, we welcome Shai Perednik to the TechChat team as we perform a tech round up from September through to October of 2020. We covered a plethora of topics today, we started the show talking about price reductions with AWS IOT Events dropping a mammoth 86%. Amazon Connect our ever popular phone system in the cloud decreased telephony costs for outbound calls across six countries in Europe. We then moved to compute, more AWS Graviton 2 instances in more regions. Amazon RDS now has Graviton2 based instances with MySQL and Aurora and a new EC2 instance, the T4G has launched. AWS Backup now is crash consistent for Windows instances and we speak of AWS File Gateway performance upgrades. Apache Flink Kinesis consumer now supports EFO and HTTP 2 data retrieval. Lightsail offers an AMI like experience with OS blueprints and Amazon CloudWatch adds Prometheus support. On the container front, there are now security groups and customizable service IP ranges for EKS. AWS Lambda adds support in the console for AWS Step Functions, making the process of authoring state machines and Lambda functions even easier and there is now a quick start for Microsoft SQL Server Always On under Linux (Ubuntu). Amazon CloudFront launched Origin Shield which is another caching layer that collapses request from Edge Locations and Regional Edge Caches to the closest Regional Edge Cache to the origin, providing an increased cache hit ratio and a reduction of load on the origin. A great feature release if your application has a global audience Lastly Amazon EventBridge now offers DLQ support, wahoo.
