Amazon Location Service today announced new map styling capabilities, providing developers with greater control over terrain visualization, traffic display, and immersive 3D experiences. This release introduces customizable contour line density levels, a traffic congestion-only mode, 3D Terrain and Globe View features, and expands support for existing features across multiple map styles. These capabilities enable you to customize maps for diverse use cases. Choose from three contour line density levels (Low, Medium, and High) to control elevation data visualization, with Low density emphasizing major elevation changes, Medium density providing balanced detail, and High density showing double the contour lines for intricate terrain views. Display traffic strategically with the new traffic congestion-only mode, which filters out free-flowing traffic to highlight incidents and congestion. Create immersive experiences with 3D Terrain and 3D Globe View with Atmosphere, featuring realistic elevation and atmospheric effects. Additionally, existing features like full traffic visualization, Transit and Truck travel modes, and dark and light color schemes are now available across more map styles, including Monochrome, Hybrid, and Satellite. Amazon Location Service is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Spain), Europe (Stockholm), South America (São Paulo), and AWS GovCloud (US-West).

Today, Oracle Database@AWS (ODB@AWS) announced high performance networking that provides customers consistent sub-millisecond roundtrip latency from their AWS applications to the database. Many applications such as payment processing, securities trading, and high volume transaction processing require predictable and consistent low-latency network connectivity to the application database. Customers who run such latency-sensitive applications on Oracle Exadata systems on-premises optimize their infrastructure to obtain the performance that these applications require. With high performance networking for ODB@AWS, customers can now seamlessly migrate these applications to an equivalent optimized environment on AWS. ODB@AWS automatically provides consistent and predictable low-latency network connectivity from Amazon EC2 instances to ODB@AWS databases through optimized placement of compute instances. When customers create an ODB@AWS network for their databases, they can now launch placement optimized Amazon EC2 instances with consistent, sub-millisecond latency network connectivity to their databases using existing Amazon EC2 APIs and workflows, such as launching new EC2 instances, or reserving compute capacity with EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations. There is no additional charge for EC2 instances using optimized placement for connectivity to ODB@AWS databases. The feature is available in the US-East-2 (Ohio), CA-Central-1 (Canada Central), EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt), EU-West-1 (Dublin), AP-Northeast-1 (Tokyo), and AP-Southeast-2 (Sydney) AWS Regions, with more Regions coming soon. For more information, see High performance networking for Oracle Database@AWS.
