March 2020 Summaries

Aiven has expanded the capacity of its standard Aiven for Elasticsearch plans while reducing costs across all Premium plans, with cost reductions of up to 56%. This means that users can now handle larger use cases without having to request custom plans. The new plan sizes include 15-Node plans with 5250 GB of storage and a Premium-30x-32 plan going up to 21000 GB. For more information on the capabilities and features of different managed Elasticsearch plan sizes, check out Aiven's plan comparison table.

Aiven has announced the availability of its Apache Kafka service on AWS Marketplace, making it easier for users to incorporate Aiven into their workflows while using AWS infrastructure and services. The move aims to simplify procurement and accounting processes for customers. Aiven plans to incrementally add more services until all Aiven services are available in the marketplace. The first step is to click "Continue to Subscribe" from the Aiven for Apache Kafka page, followed by finalizing the subscription on the AWS Marketplace's side. Finally, users need to register at aiven.io and launch their first Apache Kafka cluster.
