Weekly Cloud Provider News – AWS Firewall Manager, Oracle Transportable Tablespaces, Google CPU Overcommit and VMware vRealize Operations
Each week, we highlight the latest cloud provider news from the industry’s top providers. This week, AWS Firewall Manager supports security groups, Oracle certifies Transportable Tablespaces, Google unveils CPU overcommit for sole-tenant nodes, and VMware announces vRealize Operations and vRealize Cloud.
- AWS Firewall Manager now supports security groups on Application Load Balancers and Classic Load Balancers, allowing customers to centrally configure and audit security groups across multiple accounts. You can audit security groups associated with these resource types to ensure they are only accessing IP CIDRs or ports mandated by your organization, and use pre-packaged audit rules provided by Firewall Manager, or customize your own audit rules to check for non-compliance.

- Oracle has certified Transportable Tablespaces for EBS 12.2 with Oracle 19c for database migration. Now, customers running this version combination can safely migrate their non x86 workloads into either Azure, AWS or GCP. This makes migrations easier and gives customers more options when migrating from on-premises to the cloud. Learn more here.
- Google announced that CPU overcommit for sole-tenant nodes is now generally available. Customers can now achieve higher utilization of dedicated hosts by provisioning virtual CPU resources, up to twice the capacity of the underlying physical host. GCP CPU overcommit will automatically manage virtual CPU allocation to VMs that need it, allowing customers to deploy cost-efficient virtual desktops in the cloud, while potentially reducing licensing costs.

- VMware announced vRealize Operations 8.2 and vRealize Cloud. vRealize Operations offers a unified monitoring platform for VM- and container-based workloads, running either on premises or off premises. With this new release, the focus will be on application-aware troubleshooting of Kubernetes, Extensibility updates and ease of use improvements. Read more here.
