Recent Announcements
AWS announces AWS AppConfig Extensions
AWS announces AWS AppConfig Extensions, a new capability that allows customers to enhance and extend the capabilities of feature flags and dynamic runtime configuration data. AWS AppConfig, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, allows customers to configure, validate, and deploy configuration data to more safely and quickly update application behavior. The AppConfig Extensions framework exposes action points along the lifecycle of feature flags and configuration data; customers can hook new functionality onto each action point. Action points are exposed during the creation, validation, deployment, and rollback of feature flag and configuration data.
AWS Firewall Manager now enables you to centrally deploy AWS Network Firewalls with additional strict rule order, default deny, and default drop configurations.
Amazon VPC Flow Logs adds Transit Gateway support for improved visibility and monitoring
Starting today, Amazon VPC Flow Logs adds support for Transit Gateway. With this feature, Transit Gateway can export detailed telemetry information such as source/destination IP addresses, ports, protocol, traffic counters, timestamps and various metadata for all of its network flows. This feature provides you with an AWS native tool to centrally export and inspect flow-level telemetry for all network traffic that is traversing between Amazon VPCs and your on-premises networks via your Transit Gateway.
Amazon Redshift improves cluster resize performance and flexibility of cluster restore
Amazon Redshift has improved the performance of Redshift’s classic resize feature and increased the flexibility of the cluster snapshot restore operation. Redshift classic resize is used to resize a cluster in scenarios where you need to change the instance type or transition to a configuration that cannot be supported by elastic resize. Previously, this can take the cluster offline for many hours during resize, but now the cluster can typically be available to process queries in minutes. Clusters can also be resized when restoring from a snapshot and in those cases there could be restrictions.
Amazon QuickSight support for IE11 is ending by July 31, 2022

We recommend customers use one of our supported browsers: Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
