Strengths of Successful Businesses

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) direct APIs for Snapshots are available in the Europe (Milan) and Africa (Cape Town) Regions. Using Amazon EBS direct APIs, customers can create snapshots of their block storage data, regardless of where it resides, including data on-premises. This enables customers to achieve business continuity in AWS at a lower cost and use the existing Fast Snapshot Restore feature to quickly recover this data into Amazon EBS volumes for use cases like disaster recovery. 

We’re excited to announce that customers will be able to create up to 1,000 Active Jobs per AWS account per connected region. The prior limit was 100 active continuous jobs and 100 active snapshot jobs per AWS account. This new limit will apply to the total number of Jobs created – including both, continuous and snapshot jobs. The new limit applies to all commercial AWS regions where AWS IoT Device Management is available. The higher limits are reflected in your account automatically and you do not have to take any action. If your account has an approved limit that is higher than this new limit, you will continue to have the higher limit.
