A bit about St. John’s University
6. 1 Cloud Security just got more strategic
Amazon Detective –conducts faster, more efficient investigations
into security issues. Automatically collects log data from your AWS
resources and uses machine learning to reduce time spend.
AWS Nitro Enclaves, processes highly sensitive data by
partitioning compute and memory resources within an instance to
create an isolated compute environment.
AWS Nitro new instances types have 36% higher EBS-optimized
instance bandwidth bringing speed and power to workloads.
IAM Access Analyzer identifies resources that grant access to an
external principal that isn't within your zone of trust.
7. UltraWarm (in preview) takes a new approach to providing hot-
warm tiering in Amazon Elastic Search Service, offering up to 900TB
of storage, at almost a 90% cost reduction over existing options.
AWS Compute Optimizer delivers EC2 recommendations and
identifies optimal EC2 instance types to prevent unnecessary
costs and poor application performance.
Cool new innovations unveiled
Savings Plan flexible pricing model that offer low prices on EC2
and Fargate usage, in exchange for a commitment to a consistent
amount of usage (1 or 3 year term).

8. Transit Gateway for networks + monitoring
AWS Transit Gateway Network
Manager allows you to centrally manage
and monitor your global AWS network
with your on-prem resources in a single
pane of glass
AWS Transit Gateway Inter-region
Peering now allows multiple regions to
be peered in a transitive nature without
third party connections or complex
solutions.
TG enables customers to connect their VPCs and their on-premises networks to a single gateway

9. Now you can do an on-prem install of AWS
AWS Outposts provides an on-prem installation for clients to have
access to AWS services on site. This is a huge for businesses who
require extremely low latency or are in highly regulated industries
with necessary data sovereignty requirements and need to
remain on-premises.
Soon your on-prem facilities can enjoy the same ease and reliability of
N2WS for the cloud with AWS Outposts + N2WS Backup & Recovery!

10. AWS bringing the cloud to YOU
Hybrid cloud is now closer to home...
AWS Local Zones now in Los Angeles, CA, brings select AWS
services very close to a particular geographic area. Provides
single-digit millisecond latency, high-bandwidth and secure
connection.
AWS Wavelength provides developers the ability to build
applications that serve end-users with single-digit millisecond
latencies over the 5G network. You can now extend your existing
VPC to a ‘Wavelength Zone’
