Additional new services announced on second day of AWS re:Invent 2014 keynote by Werner Vogels


  • Amazon EC2 Container Service
    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.

  • AWS Lambda 
    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. You can also use AWS Lambda to create new back-end services where compute resources are automatically triggered based on custom requests. AWS Lambda starts running your code within milliseconds of an event and scales automatically from a few requests per day to thousands per second.

  • Coming Soon: C4 instances 
    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 applications, gaming and web servers, transcoding, and high performance computing workloads.

  • Coming Soon: Larger, Faster EBS Volumes 
    We will be increasing the performance and maximum 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.

  • Amazon S3 event notification 
    Amazon S3 can now send event notifications when objects are uploaded to Amazon S3. Notification messages can be sent through either Amazon SNS or Amazon SQS, or trigger AWS Lambda functions.

  • Amazon DynamoDB Streams 
    Amazon DynamoDB Streams provides a time ordered sequence of item level changes in any DynamoDB table. The changes are de-duplicated and stored for 24 hours. This capability enables you to extend the power of DynamoDB with cross-region replication, continuous analytics with Redshift integration, trigger AWS Lambda functions, and many other scenarios.
