Hello and welcome to Last Week in AWS. I'm Corey Quinn. And there have been some pretty great releases last week. Amazon Aurora launches global database writer endpoint, which is handy, but it could incur cross-region data transfer charges if it shifts when you're not expecting it to do so. Dragonfly is a modern in-memory data store that delivers up to 25x better performance at 80% lower cost compared to many reddit-based solutions like the last to cash.
Dragonfly is 100% API compatible with reddisk so there are no code changes required. And you can download Dragonfly Community for free on GitHub or you can run it in the AWS region of your choice with Dragonfly Cloud. Listeners of last week in AWS will receive a $200 credit to try Dragonfly Cloud. Just visit dragonflyDB.io to sign up and use coupon code last week to receive your $200 credit. And let me know what you think.
Amazon Connect now offers screen sharing, which will no doubt be super handy for the scammers who like to pretend they're Microsoft Windows support. Amazon EKS endpoints now support connectivity over internet protocol version six or IPv6 as humans call it. And this would have been great two years ago. Now it's just an I rolled so soon.
AWS IAM identity center simplifies calls to AWS services with single identity context, which is super useful. It felt like mindless extra drudge work to have to correlate to identity calls previously.
EC to image builder now supports building and testing macOS images and you know I really thought I'd be using more macOS EC to the night ended up using do in no small part apples license requiring 24 consecutive hours every time I spin one up. I want this to be more user friendly but that's purely an apple's hands AWS hands are tied.
And finally introducing an enhanced in console editing experience for AWS land, which is great if you've only used previous read as crappy land a console editors give this a spin because you're in for a treat. And that's what happened last week in AWS I'm Corey Quinn stick around.
