Amazon EC2 Introduces Interruptible Capacity Reservations

🔁 Amazon EC2 now offers interruptible On‑Demand Capacity Reservations (ODCRs), allowing reservation owners to temporarily make unused reserved capacity available to other internal workloads while retaining the ability to reclaim it. Consumers using interruptible ODCRs receive an interruption notice to allow graceful shutdown or checkpointing. The capability targets flexible, fault‑tolerant tasks such as batch processing, data analysis, and machine learning training, is available at no additional cost, and CloudFormation support is coming soon.

Amazon Athena adds per-query DPU controls for Capacity use

🔧 Amazon Athena now lets you control Data Processing Unit (DPU) allocation for queries running on Capacity Reservations at the workgroup or per-query level. You can set explicit DPU values so small queries consume less capacity while critical jobs receive guaranteed resources. The Athena console and API now report per-query DPU usage, improving visibility into consumption and supporting capacity planning. These controls reduce over-provisioning, manage concurrency, and improve predictability for business-critical workloads in supported AWS Regions.
