Amazon SNS Introduces SMS Text Message Notifications

AWS News — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

We are excited to announce that Amazon Simple Notification Service now supports SMS text messages as a new method for notifications. SMS (also known as Short Message Service) is one of the most widely used messaging applications in the world. With support for SMS text messaging, Amazon SNS messages can be delivered to SMS-enabled cell phones and smart phones.

Amazon SNS is a web service that makes it easy to send notifications from the cloud to applications or people. It provides developers with a highly scalable, flexible, and cost-effective way to publish messages and have them immediately delivered to any number of subscribers or other applications. Previously Amazon SNS supported message deliveries via http, email or to Amazon SQS queues.

Notifications can now be sent as text messages to cell phones, smart phones or any other device that supports SMS. Amazon CloudWatch users who monitor their applications running on AWS services can receive timely updates for any event of interest or alarm they set. Existing Amazon SNS users who receive content via email can now also have that content delivered to their mobile device. SMS notifications with Amazon SNS can also be used to relay time-critical application events to mobile applications and devices. Mobile applications increasingly deliver and integrate real-time information from a variety of sources, including weather, traffic, social-media updates, and even multi-player games. Developers can easily integrate mobile applications with Amazon SNS today, to send messages and receive notifications over SMS. This new Amazon SNS feature can be easily accessed from the AWS Management Console. While Amazon SNS is supported in all AWS regions, SMS notification support is currently supported in the US-East region, and will be available in other AWS regions and countries in the coming months.

You can visit the Amazon SNS detail page to learn more about the usage and benefits of the service. You can easily get started by reviewing the SNS Documentation and setup SMS notifications through the console in minutes.

Amazon SQS New Features: Delay Queues, Message Timers and Batch APIs

AWS News — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 02:16:36 +0000

We are excited to announce three new Amazon SQS features today: delay queues, message timers, and the ability to send or delete multiple messages in a single API call (batch operations). Delay queues can be used to apply a uniform delay to all messages. Alternatively message timers can be used to apply delay to specific messages that can be sent individually, or in a batch.

New support for batch send and delete operations complements the existing batch receive functionality. With batch operations many workloads will benefit from improved single thread message throughput, reduced connection overhead and lower API call latencies.

As distributed applications become larger and more complex, greater scalability and control of message-based systems becomes increasingly important. With support for both queue delays and message timers, a wider array of real world distributed application scenarios can be addressed. With batch APIs, developing Internet-scale distributed applications is easier and more cost effective than ever.

These new features can be easily accessed from the AWS Management Console.

Announcing Amazon EC2 Spot Integration with Amazon VPC

AWS News — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000

We are excited to introduce the combination of two popular features, Spot Instances and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Starting today, you can now bid for unused Amazon EC2 capacity and run those instances within your own Amazon VPC, potentially saving between 50%-66% less than the On-Demand price. By integrating Amazon VPC with Spot Instances, you can provision a private virtual network that you control, including selection of IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways.

With this new feature, you can now bid for instances in Amazon VPC when you request a Spot instance. Similar to traditional Spot Instances, customers whose bids exceed the Spot price gain access to the available Spot Instances and run as long as the bid exceeds the Spot Price. Once launched, you can leverage all of the existing Amazon VPC features you use with other Amazon EC2 instances.

To learn more details about this feature, please visit the Spot Instances in Amazon VPC Developer’s Guide. For more information about Amazon EC2 Spot Instances or Amazon VPC, please visit the Amazon EC2 Spot Instance or the Amazon VPC web pages.
