The latest updates and improvements from Amazon Web Services these last days.
With this new edition, our goal
is to help you find out what happen in real time at AWS. Therefore,
Connectikpeople has observed that, this company has announced support for using
AWS OpsWorks with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).
For those who unfamiliar, we
may recall that, AWS OpsWorks is a DevOps solution that makes it easy to deploy, customize and manage
applications. Its goal is to provide helpful operational features such as
user-based ssh management, additional CloudWatch metrics for memory and load,
automatic RAID volume configuration, and a variety of application deployment
options.
In this dynamic, the new db.cr1.8xlarge
instance type gives you plenty of memory, CPU power, and network throughput to
allow your MySQL 5.6 applications to perform at up to 20,000 IOPS. This is a
60% improvement.Here are the specs:
- 64-bit platform
- 244 GB of RAM
- 88 ECU (16 hyperthreaded virtual cores each delivering 2.75 ECU)
- High-performance networking
This new instance type is
available in the US East (Northern Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU (Ireland),
and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions.
Following the launching of and several improvements, Amazon ElastiCache now
supports the popular Redis key-value store. This means, if you are already running Redis on-premises
or on an EC2 instance, it should be very easy for you to upgrade to
ElastiCache, while gaining the benefits of a fully managed service that is easy
to launch, monitor, scale, and maintain.
Connectikpeople
may recall that, like its cousin Memcached, help
you to store data. Redis supports the following data types:
- Strings that can be up to 512 Megabytes in length.
- Lists of strings, sorted by insertion order.
- Sets, unordered collections of strings.
- Hashes, maps between string fields and string values.
- Sorted Sets, collections of non-repeating strings, each ranked by an associated score.
Redis also supports atomic,
high-level operations on items of each type.
