AWS announces Credential Guard support for Windows instances on Amazon EC2
Amazon Web Services(AWS) today announced support for Credential Guard, a Windows Virtualization Based Security (VBS) feature. Credential guard uses VBS isolation to prevent the extraction of Windows login credentials from OS memory. When Credential Guard is turned on, login credentials cannot be used from another host or after a user has logged out. With the availability of this capability, enterprises running Windows Server, especially those that operate in regulated industries, no longer have to choose between meeting compliance requirements and being able to move to the cloud to innovate faster; they can get both on EC2.
AWS CloudTrail Lake now supports ingestion of activity events from non-AWS sources
AWS CloudTrail Lake now supports ingesting activity events from non-AWS sources, making CloudTrail Lake a single location to immutably store user and API activity events for auditing and security investigations across AWS and hybrid environments. You can consolidate activity events from AWS and non-AWS sources – such as in-house applications and SaaS applications running in the cloud or on-premises – without having to maintain multiple log aggregators and analysis tools. CloudTrail Lake records all events in a prescribed CloudTrail schema, immutably stores them for up to seven years, and provides an integrated SQL experience to query your activity events. This makes it easier for you to manage and diagnose security, audit, and operational incidents in AWS and hybrid environments.
AWS Artifact on-demand access to third-party compliance reports is now generally available
The new third-party reports tab on the AWS Artifact Reports page provides on-demand access to security compliance reports of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who sell their products through AWS Marketplace. AWS customers interested in buying third-party software products from AWS Marketplace can download and review the security compliance reports shared by the ISV via AWS Artifact on-demand to accelerate their procurement cycle. ISV compliance reports will only be accessible to those AWS customers who have been granted access to AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights for a specific ISV. To learn more about AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights, please visit here.

EC2 Hibernate now supports Amazon EC2 C6i, C6id, M6i, M6id, and I3en instances
You can now hibernate Elastic Block Storage-backed Amazon EC2 I3en, M6i, M6id, C6i, and C6id instances. Hibernation provides you with the convenience of pausing your instances and resuming them later from a saved state. Hibernation is just like closing and opening your laptop lid — your application will start right from where it left off. By using hibernation, you can maintain a fleet of pre-warmed instances that can get to a productive state faster without modifying your existing applications.
Amazon OpenSearch Service simplifies remote reindex for VPC domains
Amazon OpenSearch Service adds a new connection mode for cross-cluster connection, simplifying the setup required to remote reindex between a local domain and remote VPC domains.

Today, we are excited to announce integration of Systems Manager Automation with Systems Manager Change Calendar.

With this feature, users in your account can only run automations during the time periods allowed by your Change Calendar. For example, you can avoid the risk of application downtime due to system update during high traffic time period, by blocking the time period in Change Calendar and enforcing Automation to check Change Calendar before updating your Amazon EC2 instance types.
