Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler now enables OAuth based access to Snowflake
Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler now supports OAuth based authentication with identity providers including Okta, Microsoft Azure AD, and Ping Federate to access data in Snowflake for machine learning (ML). Data Wrangler reduces the time it takes to aggregate and prepare data for ML from weeks to minutes using a visual interface in Amazon SageMaker Studio.
VPC DNS Query Logging Now Available in the Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region
Today, we are announcing the availability of Route 53 Resolver Query Logging in the Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region. Route 53 Resolver Query Logging enables you log DNS queries that originate in your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs). With query logging enabled, you can see which domain names have been queried, the AWS resources from which the queries originated - including source IP and instance ID - and the responses that were received.
AWS Security Hub is now available in three additional AWS Regions
AWS Security Hub is now available in the Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Europe (Spain), and Europe (Zurich) AWS Regions. You can now use Security Hub to centrally view and manage the security posture of your AWS accounts in those Regions and take advantage of more than 80 security controls to automatically check your security posture.
Amazon WorkDocs announces Search Resources API
Amazon WorkDocs now offers Search Resources API for builders to programmatically search files and folders that you have permissions for. The new Search Resources API provides keyword search and a wide array of search result filtering capabilities. Customers can apply filters such as content type, last modified date range, file owner, and labels. The new WorkDocs Search Resources API is available via AWS CLI, SDK and REST endpoints.
Amazon RDS Proxy now supports PostgreSQL major version 15
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Proxy now supports PostgreSQL major version 15. PostgreSQL 15 includes new features such as the SQL standard “MERGE” command for conditional SQL queries, performance improvements for both in-memory and disk-based sorting, support for two-phase commit, and row/column filtering for logical replication. The PostgreSQL 15 release also adds support for server-side compression with Gzip, LZ4, or Zstandard (zstd) using pg_basebackup. For more details about this release, refer to the PostgreSQL community announcement. You can also enforce SCRAM (Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism) password-based authentication for your proxy.
AWS CloudFormation language extensions transform is now available in 5 additional AWS Regions
Today, AWS CloudFormation has expanded the availability of language Transform called ‘AWS::LanguageExtensions’ to Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), and Middle East (UAE) Regions. When declared in a template, the transform enables extensions to the template language in AWS CloudFormation. The language extensions transform expands the functionality of the base CloudFormation JSON/YAML template language.
Application Load Balancer now supports TLS 1.3
Application Load Balancer (ALB) now supports version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, enabling you to optimize the performance of your backend application servers while helping to keep your workloads secure. TLS 1.3 on ALB works by offloading encryption and decryption of TLS traffic from your application servers to the load balancer. TLS 1.3 is optimized for performance and security by using one round trip (1-RTT) TLS handshakes, and only supporting ciphers that provide perfect forward secrecy.
AWS Batch launches support for configurable Ephemeral Storage on AWS Fargate
AWS Batch now enables you to configure ephemeral storage up to 200 GiB in size on AWS Fargate type jobs. This means that you can expand the available ephemeral storage beyond the default value of 20 GiB for your jobs when using Fargate as the compute platform on AWS Batch. With this launch, you no longer need to limit the size of the Docker images to run machine learning inferences or the size of the data sets in the container for data processing to be under 20GiB. You can configure the ephemeral storage to be as large as 200GiB to run larger sized workloads.
Amazon S3 Event Notifications now supports Amazon EventBridge in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
You can now use Amazon S3 Event Notifications with Amazon EventBridge in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions to build, scale, and deploy event-driven applications based on changes to the data you store in Amazon S3. This makes it easier to act on new data in Amazon S3, build multiple applications that react to object changes simultaneously, and replay past events, all without creating additional copies of objects or developing new software.
AWS announces new edge location in Peru
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces Amazon CloudFront expansion in Peru by launching a new edge location in Lima. Customers in Perú can expect up to 50 percent improvement in latency, on average, for data delivered through the new edge location to provide end users faster, more responsive applications. The new AWS edge location brings the full suite of benefits provided by Amazon CloudFront, a highly distributed and scalable content delivery network (CDN) that delivers static and dynamic content, APIs, and live and on-demand video. Amazon CloudFront uses a global network of 450+ points of presence (POPs) and 13 regional edge caches in 90+ cities across 49 countries to deliver content to end users.
Amazon Elastic Container Services (Amazon ECS) now provides contextual failure reasons that make it easier to troubleshoot task launch failures when customers use capacity providers for auto scaling the compute capacity in their cluster.
