AWS Security Hub now receives AWS Config managed and custom rule evaluation results
AWS Security Hub now automatically receives AWS Config managed and custom rule evaluation results as security findings. AWS Config allows security and compliance professionals to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of their AWS resources via Config rules, which evaluate the compliance of AWS resources against specified policies. Examples of resource misconfigurations detected by Config rules include publicly-accessible Amazon S3 buckets, unencrypted EBS volumes, and overly-permissive IAM policies. When a Config rule evaluation passes or fails, you will now see a ‘passed’ or ‘failed’ finding for that evaluation in Security Hub. Any updates to the status of the Config rule evaluation will be automatically updated in the Security Hub finding. This new integration between Security Hub and AWS Config expands the centralization and single pane of glass experience by consolidating your Config evaluation results alongside your other security findings, allowing you to more easily search, triage, investigate, and take action on your security findings.
New Amplify Flutter supports customizable authentication flows
AWS Amplify Flutter introduces support for creating customizable authentication flows, using Amazon Cognito Lambda triggers. Using this functionality, developers are able to setup customizations for the login experience in their Flutter apps, such as creating OTP login flows, or adding CAPTCHA to their Flutter app.
Amazon Neptune simplifies graph analytics and machine learning workflows with Python integration
You can now run graph analytics and machine learning tasks on graph data stored in Amazon Neptune using an open-source Python integration that simplifies data science and ML workflows. With this integration, you can read and write graph data stored in Neptune using Pandas DataFrames in any Python environment, such as a local Jupyter notebook instance, Amazon SageMaker Studio, AWS Lambda, or other compute resources. From there, you can run graph algorithms, such as PageRank and Connected Components, using open-source libraries like iGraph, Network, and cuGraph.
Amazon DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access (DynamoDB Standard-IA) table class is now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region. The DynamoDB Standard-IA table class is ideal for use cases that require long-term storage of data that is infrequently accessed, such as application logs, social media posts, e-commerce order history, and past gaming achievements.
Amazon CloudFront now supports TLS 1.3 session resumption for viewer connections
Amazon CloudFront now supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 session resumption to further improve viewer connection performance. Until now, Amazon CloudFront has supported version 1.3 of the TLS protocol since 2020 to encrypt HTTPS communications between viewers and CloudFront. Customers that adopted the protocol have seen their connection performance improved by up to 30% compared with previous TLS versions. Starting today, customers that use TLS 1.3 will see up to 50% additional performance improvement thanks to TLS 1.3 session resumption. With session resumption, when a client reconnects to a server with which the client had an earlier TLS connection, the server decrypts the session ticket using a pre-shared key sent by the client and resumes the session. TLS 1.3 session resumption speeds up session establishment as it reduces computational overhead for both the server and the client. It also requires fewer packets to be transferred compared to a full TLS handshake.
Amazon EMR release 6.6 now supports Apache Spark 3.2, Apache Spark RAPIDS 22.02, CUDA 11, Apache Hudi 0.10.1, Apache Iceberg 0.13, Trino 0.367, and PrestoDB 0.267. You can use the performance-optimized version of Apache Spark 3.2 on EMR on EC2, EKS, and recently released EMR Serverless. In addition Apache Hudi 0.10.1 and Apache Iceberg 0.13 are available on EC2, EKS, and Serverless. Apache Hive 3.1.2 is available on EMR on EC2 and EMR Serverless. Trino 0.367 and PrestoDB 0.267 are only available on EMR on EC2.
