Now Available: AWS Gateway Load Balancer

AWS Gateway Load Balancer is now generally available, making it easy and cost-effective to deploy, scale and manage virtual appliances. This includes firewalls, intrusion detection & prevention systems and deep packet inspection systems. Gateway Load Balancer features a single entry and exit point for all traffic. This is combined with a balancer that distributes traffic and scales your virtual appliances based on demand.

Now Available: AWS Network Firewall for Amazon VPC

AWS Network Firewall is a high availability firewall service for your virtual private cloud (VPC). It gives users the power to use custom rules to prevent VPCs from accessing unauthorised domains. It can also be used to identify malicious activity using signature-based detection. Deploy and manage stateful inspection with ease, detect and prevent intrusion and use filtering to protect your virtual networks on AWS.

Alexa Now Running on EC2 Inf1 Instances

Amazon Alexa is now running a majority of machine learning workloads on EC2 Inf1 instances. The result is 25% lower end-to-end latency, and 30% lower cost compared to GPU-based instances for Alexa’s text-to-speech workloads. Lower latency gives Alexa engineers the power to innovate with more complex algorithms. For Amazon customers this lower latency leads to an improved user experience.
