Amazon RDS now supports new General Purpose (SSD) storage type

You can now launch DB Instances that use General Purpose (SSD) storage, a new SSD-backed storage option for Amazon RDS. This new storage option is designed to offer more cost-effective performance than previous choices for a variety of database workloads.


General Purpose (SSD) storage delivers a consistent baseline of 3 IOPS per provisioned GB and provides the ability to burst up to 3,000 IOPS. Pricing for Amazon RDS General Purpose (SSD) is also simple and predictable. You pay for each GB of storage you provision, and there are no additional charges for I/O requests. Prices start as low as $0.115 per GB per month.


You can now choose among three Amazon RDS storage types to best meet the needs of your database workloads.



  • General Purpose (SSD) storage is suitable for a broad range of database workloads that have moderate I/O requirements. With the baseline of 3 IOPS/GB and the ability to burst up to 3,000 IOPS, this storage option provides predictable performance to meet the needs of most applications.

  • Provisioned IOPS (SSD) storage is ideal for I/O-intensive transactional (OLTP) database workloads. It provides the most consistent performance and gives you the flexibility to provision the level of IOPS (ranging from 1000 to 30,000) needed for your application.

  • Magnetic storage (formerly known as RDS Standard storage) is useful for small database workloads where data is accessed less frequently.




Amazon RDS General Purpose (SSD) storage can be used in conjunction with RDS features like Multi-AZ, Read Replicas, and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). It is available with each of Amazon RDS's supported database engines: MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQL Server. It is available in all AWS Regions except GovCloud (US); support in GovCloud (US) is coming soon.


To learn more about Amazon RDS storage choices, visit the Amazon RDS User's Guide.

Amazon CloudFront Now Publishes Six Operational Metrics to Amazon CloudWatch

You can now monitor, alarm and receive notifications on the operational performance of your Amazon CloudFront distributions using Amazon CloudWatch, giving you more visibility into the overall health of your web application. CloudFront now automatically publishes six operational metrics, each at 1-minute granularity, into Amazon CloudWatch. You can then use CloudWatch to set alarms on any abnormal patterns in your CloudFront traffic.


Six metrics appear in CloudWatch within a few minutes of the viewer request for each of your Amazon CloudFront web distributions:



  • Requests: The total number of HTTP and HTTPS requests for all HTTP methods.

  • Bytes Downloaded: The total number of bytes downloaded by viewers.

  • Bytes Uploaded: The total number of bytes uploaded to your origin.

  • 4xx Error Rate: The percentage of all requests for which the HTTP status code is 4xx (e.g. a client error).

  • 5xx Error Rate: The percentage of all requests for which the HTTP status code is 5xx (e.g. the origin server didn't fulfill the request).

  • Total Error Rate: The percentage of all requests for which the HTTP status code is 4xx and 5xx.


These metrics are automatically provided to all CloudFront customers at no additional costs. Alarming is billed at standard CloudWatch rates.


To learn how to get started monitoring CloudFront activity and setting alarms via CloudWatch, please view our walkthrough in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide or simply navigate to the Amazon CloudFront Management Console and select Monitoring & Alarming in the navigation pane.

Amazon CloudFront Announces Wildcard Cookies and Options Caching

You can configure CloudFront to forward cookies to your origin and cache your objects based on cookie values in viewer requests. Previously, you could specify a whitelist of cookie names, but you had to specify exact names. Starting today, you can use wildcard characters in the whitelisted cookie names that you want Amazon CloudFront to forward to your origin server. This feature makes it easy to set multiple cookies to forward to the origin server at the same time. For example, several applications, including Drupal and WordPress, alter cookie names with a hash to identify logged in users, so SESS (for session-ID) becomes SESS<MD5 hash>. In this example, you can now whitelist *wordpress*, or *SESS* values as valid cookie names, and CloudFront will forward any cookie containing “wordpress” or “SESS”.


We have also enabled the ability to specify whether you want CloudFront to cache the response from your origin server when a viewer submits an OPTIONS request. An OPTIONS request allows you to retrieve a list of the options that your origin server supports. Amazon CloudFront caches the response from GET and HEAD requests by default. By also configuring CloudFront to cache the responses for OPTIONS requests, you can further decrease latency for your end users because CloudFront will respond to the OPTIONS requests from the cache instead of repeatedly forwarding the requests to your origin server.


There are no additional fees for using these new features with CloudFront. Getting started is easy – just use the AWS Management Console or APIs to use wildcard characters in cookie names or enable OPTIONS caching. To learn more about Amazon CloudFront you can visit the Amazon CloudFront product page.

AWS Management Portal for vCenter Setup Enhancements

If you are not familiar with the AWS Management Portal for vCenter, you can install it as a plug-in within VMware vCenter and use it to manage AWS infrastructure using vCenter. The AWS Management Portal for vCenter includes support for Amazon EC2 and VM Import. Using the portal, you can migrate your existing VMware VMs to Amazon EC2, launch new EC2 instances, create VPCs and Subnets, and manage your EC2 instances. The portal interface is simple to use and is designed to make it easy for users with VMware experience to get started with AWS. There is no cost to use the portal, aside from the cost of the underlying AWS services consumed.


The AWS Management Portal for vCenter now includes improvements that make it easier to get started with the portal. You no longer need to configure SAML federation as part of the setup process. You can now grant AWS permission to set this up on your behalf. When you do so, the portal will provide your end-users with single sign-on access to your AWS resources, right from vCenter. This provides a natural login experience for your end-users and is significantly easier to setup that SAML federation. If you would like to manage your own identity provider, that is still available as an advanced configuration option.


Additionally, the AWS Management Portal for vCenter now lets you manage all of your EC2 Instances through the portal, including existing EC2 instances that you have created prior to setting up the portal. You have the same control over your existing instances that you have over instances created through the AWS Management Portal for vCenter. This includes the ability to start, stop, or terminate the instances or view monitoring information. You can also manage permissions for these instances using the portal.

Amazon Elastic Transcoder Announces Smooth Streaming Support

Amazon Elastic Transcoder now has the ability to create and deliver videos that use the Smooth Streaming format with Amazon Elastic Transcoder and Amazon CloudFront. Smooth Streaming is an adaptive media protocol that delivers your media assets as small fragments over HTTP that can be consumed by platforms and devices such as Xbox, Windows Phone and browsers that use Microsoft Silverlight players. This means that you can now reach Smooth Streaming devices with the same easy workflows Elastic Transcoder already supports for iOS devices that use the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol common on Apple devices.


Amazon Elastic Transcoder outputs your media content in Smooth Streaming format to an Amazon S3 bucket. You can then easily deliver this content through a CDN like Amazon CloudFront to your end users with low latency and high data transfer speeds without the need for you to setup and manage third party media-streaming servers. To learn how to setup your CloudFront distribution to support Smooth Streaming, see Configuring On-Demand Smooth Streaming.


There are no additional charges for creating and delivering Smooth Streaming format media content. You pay the standard transcoding, storage and delivery rates.


To learn more, please see the blog post and documentation.
