AWS What's New

Oracle Database@AWS is now available in three additional AWS Regions

Oracle Database@AWS is now generally available in three additional AWS Regions - US-East-2 (Ohio), EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt), and AP-Northeast-1 (Tokyo). Oracle Database@AWS enables customers to access database services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) managed Oracle Exadata systems within AWS data centers. With this launch, customers in the EU and Japan with in-region data residency requirements can easily migrate on-premises Oracle Exadata applications to AWS.

With this expansion, AWS customers can run OCI Exadata Database Service, OCI Autonomous Database on Dedicated Infrastructure, and OCI Autonomous Recovery Service in five Regions - US-East-1 (N.Virginia), US-West-2 (Oregon), US-East-2 (Ohio), EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt), and AP-Northeast-1 (Tokyo). To use these services, request a private offer from Oracle through the AWS Marketplace, and use AWS Management Console to setup database resources.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano now available on Amazon Bedrock

Amazon Bedrock now supports NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B model, NVIDIA's latest breakthrough in efficient language modeling that delivers high reasoning performance, native tool calling support, and extended context processing with 256k token context window. This model employs an efficient hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture to ensure higher throughput than its predecessors for agentic and coding workloads, while maintaining the reasoning depth of a larger model. With explicit reasoning controls and higher accuracy enabled by advanced reinforcement learning techniques and multi-environment post-training at scale, this model is ideal for enterprises, startups, and individual developers building multi-agent workflows, developer productivity tools, processes automation, and for scientific and mathematical reasoning analysis, amongst others.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano on Amazon Bedrock is powered by Project Mantle, a new distributed inference engine for large-scale machine learning model serving on Amazon Bedrock. Project Mantle simplifies and expedites onboarding of new models onto Amazon Bedrock, provides highly performant and reliable serverless inference with sophisticated quality of service controls, unlocks higher default customer quotas with automated capacity management and unified pools, and provides out-of-the-box compatibility with OpenAI API specifications.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano is available today on Amazon Bedrock in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), South America (Sao Paulo), Europe (London), and Europe (Milan) AWS Regions, and supports both unified and OpenAI API-compatible service endpoints on Amazon Bedrock.

Amazon MSK expands Standard Brokers and Express Brokers to Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) is now available in Asia Pacific (New Zealand) region. Customers can create Amazon MSK Provisioned clusters in this region starting today.

Amazon MSK is a fully managed service for Apache Kafka and Kafka Connect that makes it easier for you to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka as a data store. Amazon MSK is fully compatible with Apache Kafka, which enables you to more quickly migrate your existing Apache Kafka workloads to Amazon MSK with confidence or build new ones from scratch. With Amazon MSK, you spend more time building innovative streaming applications and less time managing Kafka clusters.

Amazon MSK offers two types of Apache Kafka provisioned broker - Standard brokers and Express brokers. Standard brokers offer the most flexibility to configure your cluster’s performance. You can configure availability, durability, throughput, and latency. You also control the storage configurations on your cluster and are responsible for managing storage provisioning and utilization. Express brokers are a new broker type for Amazon MSK Provisioned designed to deliver up to 3x more throughput per broker, scale up to 20x faster, up to 5x more partitions per broker, and reduce recovery time by 90% as compared to Standard brokers. Express brokers come pre-configured with Kafka best practices by default, support all Kafka APIs, and provide the same low-latency performance that Amazon MSK customers expect, so they can continue using existing client applications without any changes.

You can now create an MSK provisioned cluster with Standard or Express brokers in Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region through the Amazon MSK console or the Amazon CLI. To get started, see the Amazon MSK Developer Guide.
