9. IPv6 support for Amazon S3 • S3’s new “dual stack” endpoint that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 • http://bucket.s3.dualstack.aws-region.amazonaws.com • http://s3.dualstack.aws-region.amazonaws.com/bucket • Available for all S3 features except: Website Hosting, Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration and access via BitTorrent.

Announcing Application Load Balancer • Layer 7 Loadbalancer, only HTTP/HTTPS • Inspects packets, has access to HTTP(S) headers, and can do a more intelligent job of spreading the load out to the target • Support for WebSockets and HTTP/2 • Content-Based Routing - URI Path based routing • New Metrics ◦ Overall traffic (in GB) ◦ Number of active connections ◦ Connection rate per hour • New pricing model based on LCU, should be a net reduction for nearly everybody
11. New ECS Features Integrated with ALB • Support for Container-Based Applications • Dynamic Ports and Path-based Routing IAM Roles for ECS Tasks • Instead of assigning IAM roles to ECS instances you can now assign them to tasks Service Auto Scaling • Autoscale the desired number of tasks
12. ECS Networking Modes and Memory Reservation • Networking modes ◦ Bridge ◦ Host ◦ None • Memory reservation ◦ A memory soft limit that is only enforced when free memory is unavailable

15. AWS Elastic Beanstalk Supports ALB • New ALB now also for Beanstalk • Currently only CLIs, SDKs, and APIs, • Web console will come soon

17. AWS Route 53 updates • Name Authority Pointer (NAPTR) resource record sets ◦ Used by Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) applications ◦ E.g. convert phone numbers into SIP URIs • DNS Query Test Tool ◦ Simulate DNS queries against resource records ◦ Useful for Geo- or Latency bases setups ◦ Specify client IP and test what response you would receive
18. Query String Whitelisting for Amazon CloudFront • More fine graded control about the cache key • Instead of all or nothing you can now specify which HTTP query parameters are used as the cache key • Higher cache-hit ratios and a reduced load on the origin by actively avoiding certain parameters, like session ID
19. SQS CloudWatch metric - age of the oldest message • ApproximateAgeOfOldestMessage - age of the oldest non-deleted message in the queue • Useful when applications have time-sensitive messages and developers need to ensure that messages are processed within a specific time period
