date:2013/05/15

This release adds ELB support to Opsworks, optimized EBS support in EC2 AutoScale, Parallel Scan support to DynamoDB v2, a higher-level interface to DynamoDB v2 and API updates to DataPipeline.

Features

  • ELB support in Opsworks - You can now attach & describe the Elastic Load Balancers within the Opsworks client. (commit ecda87)
  • Optimized EBS support in EC2 AutoScale - You can now specify whether an AutoScale instance should be optimized for EBS I/O. (commit f8acaa)
  • Parallel Scan support in DynamoDB v2 - If you have extra read capacity & a large amount of data, you can scan over the records in parallel by telling DynamoDB to split the table into segments, then spinning up threads/processes to each run over their own segment. (commit db7f7b & commit 7ed73c)
  • Higher-level interface to DynamoDB v2 - A more convenient API for using DynamoDB v2. The DynamoDB v2 Tutorial has more information on how to use the new API. (commit 0f7c8b)
