Amazon Rekognition launches eye gaze direction detection in Face APIs
Today, AWS announced the general availability of eye gaze direction detection in Rekognition’s Face APIs to support accessibility and safety, validate photos, and help identify where users focus on the screen. The new EyeDirection attribute in Amazon Rekognition DetectFaces and IndexFaces APIs predicts a person’s eye gaze direction yaw (rotation on vertical axis) and pitch (rotation on horizontal axis) angles for each face detected in an image.
Amazon CloudFront now supports stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error cache control directives
Amazon CloudFront announces support for stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error cache control directives, which can improve performance and availability. The stale-while-revalidate directive instructs CloudFront to immediately deliver stale responses to users while it revalidates caches in the background. The stale-if-error directive defines how long CloudFront should reuse stale responses if there’s an error, which provides a better user experience.
AWS Systems Manager Distributor now supports the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor agent
Distributor, a capability of AWS Systems Manager that allows you to install and update software on your instances with version control, now allows you to install the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor agent directly from Distributor without having to create or maintain any software packages. You can easily deploy the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor agent across your fleet of AWS Systems Manager managed instances by navigating to the “Third Party” tab in the Distributor console, and selecting to “Install one time” or “Install on a schedule”.
AWS Device Farm announces VPC integration for Private Devices
AWS Device Farm is an application testing service that provides web and mobile developers with desktop browsers and real mobile devices so that they can improve the quality of their apps. With today’s launch, we are adding support for VPC connectivity to Private Devices, providing a simple way to connect with endpoints that are accessible only from within a private VPC.
