Amazon CloudWatch launches Cross-Account and Cross-Region Log Centralization

Amazon CloudWatch now offers cross-account and cross-region log centralization, allowing customers to copy log data from multiple AWS accounts and regions into a single destination account. This capability seamlessly integrates with AWS Organizations, enabling efficient aggregation of logs from workloads that span multiple accounts and regions into a single account without the need to manage custom solutions.

The log centralization feature provides the ability to scope the centralization rules to copy log data from their entire organization, specific organizational units, or selected accounts into a single account. To maintain source context and data lineage, log events are enriched with new system fields (@aws.account and @aws.region) that identify the original source account and region. Additional capabilities include selective log group copying, automatic merging of same-named log groups in the destination account, and optional backup region setup, simplifying centralized log management.

Log centralization is available in US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo).

To learn more, visit the Amazon CloudWatch documentation. Customers can centralize one copy of logs for free. Additional copies are charged at $0.05/GB of logs centralized (the backup region feature is considered an additional copy). For details, visit the CloudWatch Pricing page.

AWS Lambda Now Supports Cross-Account Container Images in GovCloud Regions

AWS Lambda now supports creating or updating functions using container images stored in an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) repository located in a different AWS account than the Lambda function in all GovCloud Regions (AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East)). Previously, users could only access container images within the same AWS account as their Lambda function. This often required copying images to a local ECR repository if they were stored in a centralized account.

This enhancement streamlines the process by allowing access to container images across different accounts. To achieve this, you need to grant necessary permissions to the Lambda resource and the Lambda service principal. This functionality is available in all AWS Regions where both Lambda and ECR are available. See the AWS Region table for more info. Visit the AWS Lambda documentation for further details on configuring these permissions

AWS Budgets now supports custom time periods

Today AWS announced custom time periods for AWS Budgets, a new capability that lets you create budgets with flexible start and end dates. This enhancement allows you to define budget periods that align with your organization’s specific needs, moving beyond traditional calendar-based periods like monthly, quarterly, or annual budgets.

Custom time periods help you accurately monitor costs for projects with specific duration and funding limits. For example, if you have a three-month development project starting mid-month, you can create a single budget for that exact time frame and receive alerts when spending approaches your thresholds. This eliminates the need to calculate and split your project budget across multiple calendar months or maintain separate spreadsheets to track time-bound initiatives.

Custom time periods in AWS Budgets is available today in all AWS commercial Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.

To learn more about custom time periods in AWS Budgets, see Managing your costs with AWS Budgets in the AWS Billing User Guide.

Nuestra nueva colaboración con Maryland acelerará la computación cuántica escalable

Exterior de un edificio moderno con grandes ventanas de vidrio y áreas verdes a su alrededor. Los logotipos superpuestos incluyen la Oficina del Gobernador (Wes Moore), el Estado de Maryland, la Universidad de Maryland y Microsoft, lo que sugiere una iniciativa colaborativa entre el gobierno, el ámbito académico y el sector tecnológico.

Por: Dr. Charles Tahan, socio, Microsoft Quantum.

Cuando di testimonio ante el Comité de Ciencias de la Cámara de Representantes a principios de este año, hablé sobre cómo la tecnología cuántica tiene el potencial de remodelar la innovación, mejorar nuestra seguridad nacional e impulsar el crecimiento económico. A medida que nos acercamos a dar vida a esta tecnología, un liderazgo claro de los Estados Unidos es fundamental para garantizar que nuestra nación permanezca a la vanguardia de este campo transformador. La iniciativa «Capital of Quantum» (Capital de la Cuántica) del gobernador de Maryland, Wes Moore, hace justo esto.

Hoy, como parte de esa visión, Microsoft se enorgullece de anunciar la apertura de un nuevo centro de investigación cuántica en el Discovery District de la Universidad de Maryland. Este laboratorio es el resultado de una profunda colaboración entre Microsoft, la Corporación Empresarial de la Universidad de Maryland (UMEC, por sus siglas en inglés) y el Estado de Maryland. Microsoft traerá nuestras capacidades cuánticas avanzadas a este nuevo centro y, con ello, creará una poderosa oportunidad para unir el liderazgo estatal y federal en la región de la capital de DC.

Colaboración de Microsoft con Maryland

Maryland ha sido durante mucho tiempo un centro nacional para la investigación cuántica, hogar de los principales programas de física y agencias federales como el Instituto Nacional de Estándares y Tecnología (NIST, por sus siglas en inglés), la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional (NSA, por sus siglas en inglés) y el pionero Instituto Cuántico Conjunto, que ha generado más de una docena de otros institutos cuánticos en la Universidad de Maryland. El liderazgo del gobernador Moore en el lanzamiento de la iniciativa «Capital of Quantum» del estado ha permitido acelerar estos esfuerzos, para consolidar aún más a Maryland como epicentro para el desarrollo cuántico.

Estamos entusiasmados de ser ahora parte de la visión del gobernador Moore. El nuevo laboratorio de investigación cuántica de Microsoft en el Discovery District de Maryland será un espacio único y de vanguardia. Apoyará el desarrollo colaborativo de hardware y software mientras trabajamos junto con agencias gubernamentales, instituciones académicas y otras empresas cuánticas. También contará con uno de los primeros prototipos de la computadora cuántica topológica de Microsoft, lo que permitirá un fácil acceso a nuestra tecnología a la Agencia de Proyectos de Investigación Avanzada de Defensa (DARPA, por sus siglas en inglés) y su equipo de prueba y evaluación de clase mundial.

Al proporcionar espacios dedicados para el trabajo patentado de Microsoft, así como nuestros amplios compromisos entre industrias, el centro encarnará el espíritu central de Microsoft como empresa de plataforma. El laboratorio garantizará que trabajemos junto con socios en la industria, la academia y el gobierno para diseñar, construir e implementar computadoras cuánticas que darán forma al futuro. Es más que una inversión en infraestructura. Es un entorno compartido que elevará a los socios en todas las capas de la pila informática y también fomentará la investigación conjunta, la divulgación y los esfuerzos de construcción de ecosistemas.

Una plataforma, muchas tecnologías

En Microsoft, creemos en el poder de las plataformas, y la computación cuántica no es una excepción. La plataforma de computación cuántica de Microsoft está diseñada para detectar y corregir errores durante el cálculo en varios tipos de hardware cuántico para garantizar que proporcionamos a nuestros clientes y socios los equipos cuánticos más capaces disponibles. Esta arquitectura reúne computación de alto rendimiento e inteligencia artificial para la velocidad, así como tecnologías cuánticas para la precisión, y continuará con las mejoras a medida que el campo evolucione y surjan nuevas capacidades.

Al fomentar un entorno en el que coexisten múltiples tecnologías y enfoques, Microsoft construye una base para la innovación y la escala. Este enfoque nos permite responder con rapidez a los avances en todo el panorama cuántico, para optimizar de manera continua nuestras ofertas para usuarios finales y socios, y asegurar que el camino hacia la ventaja cuántica sea abierto e inclusivo.

Un año seminal

El año pasado ha sido histórico para la computación cuántica, marcado por las primeras demostraciones sustanciales de corrección de errores cuánticos. El equipo de corrección de errores cuánticos de Microsoft, en asociación con Atom Computing, validó algunas de las premisas clave de la corrección de errores cuánticos no solo para la memoria sino también para el cálculo lógico. Al adaptar la plataforma de computación cuántica de Microsoft a los qubits de átomos neutros de Atom Computing, diseñamos en conjunto las máquinas cuánticas más potentes del mundo. Demostramos con éxito que nuestra corrección de errores cuánticos funciona como se anticipó en sistemas de átomos neutros, y también se puede personalizar para mejorar otras tecnologías de qubits.  

Un hito en particular emocionante para Microsoft fue la demostración de la primera física que valida un diseño topológico de qubits, Majorana 1, un logro que puede allanar el camino para escalar computadoras cuánticas a cientos de miles de qubits. Demostramos el progreso en este camino y compartimos los resultados técnicos con DARPA, que seleccionó a Microsoft como una de las dos compañías para avanzar a la fase final de su riguroso programa de evaluación comparativa conocido como Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing (US2QC), uno de los programas que conforman la Iniciativa de Evaluación Comparativa Cuántica (QBI, por sus siglas en inglés) más grande de DARPA. Durante esta fase, Microsoft tiene la intención de construir un prototipo tolerante a errores basado en cúbits topológicos. 

Trabajar juntos para lograr avances en cuántica

El desarrollo de computadoras cuánticas escalables requerirá combinar fuerzas, no solo entre diferentes conjuntos de habilidades, sino también de varias misiones, espacios de problemas, enfoques de inversión y mecanismos de financiación. Requerirá nuevos tipos de asociaciones público-privadas entre los gobiernos estatales y federales, organizaciones de investigación sin fines de lucro, instituciones de educación superior y pequeñas y grandes empresas.

Estamos entusiasmados y agradecidos de colaborar con el estado de Maryland en este innovador centro de investigación cuántica. Esta asociación ejemplifica lo que es posible cuando los líderes estatales y federales, la academia y la industria se unen para acelerar el liderazgo de EE. UU. en ciencia e innovación. En Microsoft, estamos comprometidos a capacitar a nuestros socios para construir el futuro para que podamos tener éxito juntos.
