Hello world. All systems are go!

And this is how @Ravion authenticates with your own AWS account.

We’re working on some CRAZY awesome new @Ravion products that completely shatter the normal expectations of what’s possible for speed and cost on AWS 🤯
When one Ravion module's output feeds another module's input, the CLI now shows if that reference is up to date, stale, or unknown.
Stale means the upstream output changed. Ravion queues a change run for the downstream module, and it still waits for approval.

Aurora Serverless now scales up in bigger jumps: up to 16 ACUs added within a second, continuing up to 256 ACUs.
Spiky workloads get capacity sooner, and can still scale to zero when idle.
Default on platform v3 or v4. Older clusters must upgrade.

You can now choose the IAM permissions Ravion's Terraform runners use, per module.
Every module in this release adds plan and apply IAM policy inputs. Add your own managed policy ARNs, or turn off the defaults and run with only yours.

Aurora PostgreSQL can now query Iceberg and Parquet in S3 directly. No reverse ETL copying it into the database.
Point a foreign table at it and join it with live tables in one query. DuckDB runs inside Aurora.
Read-only. 17.11+ / 18.6+.

No more VPN, bastion host or SSH tunnel just to reach ElastiCache from outside AWS.
ElastiCache Serverless for Valkey now has public endpoints: connect from a laptop, a function or another cloud.
Auth is IAM-only over TLS 1.3. Valkey 9.0+.

Ravion's AWS modules now ship more SOC 2 groundwork by default.
CloudWatch alarms in the Aurora, RDS, ALB, ECS, Lambda, and Static Hosting modules.
365-day access log retention for ALB, CloudFront, and Static Hosting.

New Ravion module: AWS Compliance.
Pick your AWS Regions and it enables GuardDuty plus Basic ECR scan-on-push for every private repository, including ones you create later.
Heads up: it replaces any existing ECR Enhanced scanning or custom filters.
ravion.com/docs/module-defin…
Terraform Stacks in Ravion now have separate run controls for pull requests and your primary branch.
Plan on the PR and apply after merge (the default), or plan, approve, and apply from the PR branch and skip the second apply on merge.
ravion.com/docs/module-defin…
DynamoDB strong consistency across Regions is no longer confined to one continent.
MRSC global tables can now use any three of 15 supported Regions, including US + Europe + Asia Pacific.
Tradeoff: every write waits on another Region. Test latency.

Kubernetes coming VERY soon to @Ravion!!
We're now running all Ravion services on Kubernetes
Why?
Because we get 10-20s deploys instead of 2-3 mins on ECS
Combined with our sandbox powered builders = build + deploy around 1 minute 🔥
(yes sandboxes in your AWS coming soon too)
Ravion has a new project sidebar.
Environments and pipelines stay visible and easy to navigate. When you're viewing a module, a module sidebar lets you switch straight to another module.

Ravion's new AMI module releases an AMI with every deploy.
Each deploy builds it with EC2 Image Builder, copies it to every region, publishes it when requested, and retires older images.
Redeploys and rollbacks release earlier images without rebuilding.
ravion.com/docs/module-defin…
ALT Ravion: Release a fresh AMI with every deploy
New Ravion module: AWS Secret.
Generate random keys and passwords in Parameter Store or Secrets Manager. The value never appears in Terraform state, plans, Ravion, or your project config.
Optional multi-Region replication.
ravion.com/docs/module-defin…
ALT Ravion: Generate secrets that never touch Terraform state
One EventBridge bus can now serve your whole AWS org.
Share it via RAM; teams publish and subscribe directly. No bus-to-bus forwarding. Plus FIFO ordering, retention and per-GB pricing.
Migrating? New subscribers retry 5 min, not 24h.

GPT-6.1 Sol is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock.
OpenAI says it approaches GPT-6 Astra on demanding evals at roughly one-fifth the cost.
On Bedrock it runs through US cross-Region inference or the bedrock-mantle endpoint in us-east-1.

Any Ravion module input can now read another module's output.
Write a << >> template as the value:
vpc_id: << modules.vpc.output.vpc_id >>
Works in the dashboard, the project config file, and pipelines, including across environments and projects.

AWS's new signup experience adds project spend limits that actually pause resources, not just send alerts.
Useful for sandboxes; an uptime tradeoff for production. Paid plan required. Rolling out to limited new customers.
aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws…
ALT AWS projects get enforceable spend limits. Ravion news graphic.
SNS just removed a reason to split events or put their payloads in S3.
Standard and FIFO topics can now carry up to 1 MiB, up from 256 KiB. For events in that range, the payload can stay in the message.
ALT Publisher sends up to 1 MiB through SNS to SQS, previously 256 KiB. Opt in per topic, up to 100 subscriptions.
Opt in per topic. Above 256 KiB, only SQS, Lambda and Data Firehose subscriptions are supported, with a 100-subscription limit.
Check your subscribers before raising the limit.
