AWS Compute Optimizer now applies AWS-generated tags to EBS snapshots created during automation AWS Compute Optimizer makes it easier to identify snapshots that are created when snapshotting and deleting unattached Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes by automatically applying an AWS-generated tag during creation. This enhancement improves visibility and tracking of EBS snapshots created through Compute Optimizer Automation. When Compute Optimizer creates a snapshot before deleting an unattached EBS volume—whether initiated through manual actions or automation rules—the snapshot now receives the tag aws:compute-optimizer:automation-event-id with a tag value that links the snapshot to the unique identifier of the automation event that created it. This allows you to easily identify, track, and manage snapshots created through the automated optimization process, helping you maintain better governance over your backup resources and understand the source of snapshots in your environment. This is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Compute Optimizer Automation is available. To get started with automated optimization, go to the AWS Compute Optimizer console or visit the user guide documentation.

🆕 AWS Compute Optimizer tags EBS snapshots from automation with aws:compute-optimizer:automation-event-id for improved tracking and governance of optimization-related snapshots, available in all regions with Compute Optimizer Automation.

Amazon EBS increases the maximum size and provisioned performance of General Purpose (gp3) volumes Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) now supports higher volume-level limits for its General Purpose (gp3) volumes. With this update, gp3 volumes can scale up to 64 TiB in size (4X the previous 16 TiB limit), up to 80,000 IOPS (5X the previous 16,000 IOPS limit), and up to 2,000 MiB/s throughput (2X the previous 1,000 MiB/s limit). These expanded limits help reduce operational complexity for storage-intensive workloads by enabling gp3 volumes with larger capacity and higher performance. You can consolidate multiple striped volumes into a single gp3 volume, streamline architectures, and lower management overhead. The increased limits particularly benefit customers running containerized workloads with limited support for striping multiple volumes, applications that rely on single-volume architectures, and growing workloads approaching current gp3 limits. The pricing model remains unchanged: you pay for storage plus any additional IOPS and throughput provisioned beyond the baseline performance. The new gp3 limits are available in all AWS Commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where gp3 volumes are available. To get started and learn more, please visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/general-purpose.html.

Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager now supports (IPv6) in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager now offers customers the option to use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses for their new and existing endpoints. Customers moving to IPv6 can simplify their networks stack by running their Data Lifecycle Manager dual-stack endpoints on a network supporting both IPv4 and IPv6, depending on the protocol used by their network and client. Customers create Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager policies to automate the creation, retention, and management of EBS Snapshots and EBS-backed Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). The policies can also automatically copy created resources across AWS Regions, move EBS Snapshots to EBS Snapshots Archive tier, and manage Fast Snapshot Restore. Customers can also create policies to automate creation and retention of application-consistent EBS Snapshots via pre and post-scripts, as well as create Default Policies for comprehensive protection for their account or AWS Organization. Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager with IPv6, supported in all AWS Commercial Regions, is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more about configuring Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager endpoints for IPv6, please refer to our https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/dlm-service-endpoints.html.

Amazon EBS announces Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization Today, Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), a high-performance block storage service, announces the general availability of Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization. This feature helps you create fully performant Amazon EBS volumes from Amazon EBS Snapshots with predictability, helping speed up Amazon EC2 Instance launches at scale, disaster recovery, and volume copy workflows. You can use Amazon EBS volumes as durable, block-level storage devices attached to Amazon EC2 instances. With Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization, you can launch hundreds of instances from Amazon EBS-backed Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) at the same time and know that the attached volumes will be fully performant within a predictable amount of time. This minimizes the amount of time before workloads can fully utilize the underlying storage. You use the feature by specifying a volume initialization rate when creating new volumes from snapshots, launching new instances from Amazon EBS-backed AMIs, replacing root volumes of instances, and provisioning volumes using the Amazon EBS Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver. You can also specify the rate of volume initialization in Launch Templates, applying the same rate to all instances launched by the template. This feature is available in all AWS commercial Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, through the AWS Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS SDKs, and AWS CloudFormation. For pricing information, please visit the https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/pricing/. To learn more, visit the https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/accelerate-the-transfer-of-data-from-an-amazon-ebs-snapshot-to-a-new-ebs-volume and refer to the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/initalize-volume.html.

Amazon EBS now supports additional resource-level permissions for copying EBS snapshots Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) now supports additional resource-level permissions for https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-copy-snapshot.html. When moving your data across Regions, accounts, and Availability Zones, you can copy any snapshot accessible to you to another Region or account, including snapshots created by you or shared with you. With this launch, you have more granular controls to set resource-level permissions for the snapshot copy and selection of the source snapshot. This allows you to control the IAM identities that can copy EBS snapshot from source snapshots, and the conditions that they can use these source snapshots for the snapshot copy operation. To meet your specific permission needs on the source snapshots, you can also specify any of 6 EC2-specific condition keys for your https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonec2.html action in your IAM policy: ec2:Encrypted, ec2:VolumeSize, ec2:Owner, ec2:ParentVolume, ec2:SnapshotTime, and ec2:ParentSnapshot. Additionally, you can use https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_condition-keys.html for the source snapshot. This new resource-level permission model is available in all AWS Regions where EBS snapshots are available. To learn more about using resource-level permissions to copy EBS snapshot, or transitioning to the new resource-level permission model from previous permission model, please visit the https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/enhancing-resource-level-permissions-for-copying-amazon-ebs-snapshots/.
