New AWS Announcement for October 2023

AWS CodeDeploy Enhanced Capabilities now Supports Multiple Load Balancers for Amazon EC2 Applications

AWS CodeDeploy has enhanced its capabilities by enabling deployments for applications that utilize multiple AWS Elastic Load Balancers (ELB). In the past, CodeDeploy could only facilitate a single application with Classic Load Balancers (CLB), Application Load Balancers (ALB), or Network Load Balancers (NLB). However, CodeDeploy now permits up to 10 load balancer target groups for each application on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). 

Now, you can perform both in-place and blue/green deployments of EC2 applications, utilizing as many as 10 ALBs, NLBs, or CLBs, depending on your ELB target groups. Leveraging multiple load balancer target groups offers the advantage of streamlining infrastructure code, cutting costs, enhancing testing processes, and facilitating smooth migrations between different ELB types.

Upgrade Your SSL/TLS Certificates Today for Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora's 2024 Expiry

If you're using SSL or TLS with certificate verification to connect to Amazon RDS databases like MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or Amazon Aurora, you should replace your certificate authority (CA) certificates in both your database and application before the current ones expire. 

Most of these certificates will expire in 2024. However, new CA certificates have been released in December 2022, which are valid for much longer, up to 100 years. So, if you update your CA certificates now, you won't have to worry about it for a very long time.

To update your certificate you need to identify your impacted Amazon RDS resources. You need to click on the certificate update tab in the console. Then you need to choose a database for updating CAs and click on apply now. After that, you need to click on the Confirm button. You can view the details about the CA for a DB instance by viewing the Connectivity & security tab in the console.

Preview of Extended Support for Amazon EKS Kubernetes Versions

Amazon EKS has introduced an extended support option for Kubernetes versions, which is currently in preview. This means that starting from Kubernetes version 1.23, you can use a specific Kubernetes version for up to 26 months from when it becomes generally available in Amazon EKS.

For the first 14 months after a new Kubernetes version is made generally available, it's covered under standard support. Now, with Amazon EKS Extended Support, you get an additional 12 months of support for each Kubernetes minor version, making it a total of 26 months of support. During this extended support period, Amazon EKS will provide security patches for the Kubernetes control plane and critical patches for various components like Amazon VPC CNI, kube-proxy, CoreDNS, AWS-published EKS Optimized AMIs, and EKS Fargate nodes.

This extended support is available in the preview starting with Kubernetes version 1.23 across all AWS commercial regions. The best part is that your EKS clusters running version 1.23 or higher will automatically enter extended support, and there's no extra cost during the preview. You'll continue to pay the standard $0.10 per hour for each Amazon EKS cluster.

Learn more about Amazon EKS Extended Support.


Introducing pgactive: PostgreSQL Active-Active Replication Extension for PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS

AWS has introduced pgactive, an active-active replication extension for PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS. This tool allows you to replicate data between database instances asynchronously, increasing resilience and flexibility. It's suitable for scenarios like switching write operations to a different instance in different AWS Regions, ensuring availability.

With asynchronous active-active replication, you can have applications write to multiple database instances, enhancing availability and reducing write latency. pgactive comes with features like node synchronization, conflict resolution, and replication lag monitoring, and can replicate data across up to 16 writer instances. It also offers automatic conflict resolution strategies, including last-update wins, first-update wins, and customizable rules.
