Amazon Aurora is a MySQL-compatible, relational database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. Amazon Aurora joins MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL as the fifth database engine available to customers through Amazon RDS.
Amazon EC2 Container Service is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run distributed applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EC2 Container Service lets you launch and stop container-enabled applications with simple API calls, allows you to query the state of your cluster from a centralized service, and gives you access to many familiar Amazon EC2 features like security groups, EBS volumes and IAM roles. You can use EC2 Container Service to schedule the placement of containers across your cluster based on your resource needs, isolation policies, and availability requirements. Amazon EC2 Container Service eliminates the need for you to operate your own cluster management and configuration management systems or worry about scaling your management infrastructure.
AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the compute resources for you, making it easy to build applications that respond quickly to new information. AWS Lambda starts running your code within milliseconds of an event such as an image upload, in-app activity, website click, or output from a connected device. You can also use AWS Lambda to create new back-end services where compute resources are automatically triggered based on custom requests. With AWS Lambda you pay only for the requests served and the compute time required to run your code. Billing is metered in increments of 100 milliseconds, making it cost-effective and easy to scale automatically from a few requests per day to thousands per second.
Coming soon, C4 instances represent the next generation of Amazon EC2 Compute-optimized instances. C4 instances are based on Intel Xeon E5-2666 v3 (Haswell) processors that run at a high clock speed of 2.9 GHz, and are designed to deliver the highest level of processor performance on EC2. C4 instances are ideal for running application, gaming and web servers, transcoding, and high performance computing workloads.
Amazon will be increasing the performance and size of General Purpose (SSD) and Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes. You will be able to create volumes of up to 16 TB and 10,000 IOPS for Amazon EBS General Purpose (SSD) volumes and up to 16 TB and 20,000 IOPS for Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes. General Purpose (SSD) volumes will deliver a maximum throughput of 160 MBps and Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes will deliver 320 MBps, when attached to EBS optimized instances.
