Announcing enhanced user interface for AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning
Starting today, users can experience a simplified visual layout when they access AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning from their browser. This new user interface features an enhanced onboarding experience, simplified forecast settings, a unified demand plan, and streamlined workflows for forecast overrides and demand plan finalization. This reduces the time it takes for new users to onboard and finalize forecast.
Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics announces new Synthetics NodeJS runtime version 5.0
Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics announces a new update to Synthetics NodeJS runtime version syn-nodejs-puppeteer-5.0 and recommends that customers migrate Synthetics canaries to the latest runtime version.

AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning announces AWS CloudTrail support for event history
AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning now logs the record of actions taken by a user to AWS CloudTrail, a service that enables governance, compliance, operational auditing, and risk auditing of your AWS account. Using AWS CloudTrail, you can log, continuously monitor, retain, and respond to the record of actions taken by a user in AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning.
Amazon Omics now provides workflow run queuing
Amazon Omics has added run queuing to the Omics workflow. Amazon Omics is a fully managed service that helps healthcare and life science organizations build at-scale to store, query, and analyze genomic, transcriptomic, and other omics data. With workflow run queuing, you are now able to queue up to thousands of workflow runs, and the service will process the runs at a rate defined by your service quota limits.
Access resource and stack drift information directly in AWS CloudFormation StackSets
Today, AWS CloudFormation StackSets launches a new API ListStackInstanceResourceDrifts, and adds a new filter in ListStackInstances to improve visibility to resource and stack instance drift information. A resource or stack instance is considered drifted when it’s actual configuration differs from its expected configuration. You can now use ListStackInstanceResourceDrifts to list and filter resources in a stack instance according to drift status. Similarly, you can use the drift status filter in ListStackInstances to check for stack instance drift in a stack set. With this launch, you can access these aggregated drift information through your management or delegated administrator AWS account.
Amazon EMR launches new capabilities to enhance EMR on EC2 cluster scaling experience
We are excited to announce that Amazon EMR has launched two new capabilities that enhances the scaling experience for Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters: a new retry mechanism for faster scaling of your Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters running Presto or Trino; and faster scale-down of Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters by enforcing the data redundancy requirements. These capabilities are automatically enabled for clusters running Amazon EMR 6.12 or higher releases and no action is needed from your end.
AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning supports multiple override management
Starting today, you can now easily apply multiple overrides on a demand forecast, eliminating the need to create and select from multiple overrides before publishing a demand forecast. With this release, you can apply multiple overrides, enabling users to apply overrides at different products simultaneously. When you make an override, the override adjustment is aggregated upwards in the hierarchy as well as disaggregated to lower levels of the forecast hierarchy.
Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports document compression
Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports document compression using the LZ4 compression algorithm. Compressed documents in Amazon DocumentDB are up to 7x smaller than uncompressed documents. Compressed documents require less storage space and IO operations during database reads and writes, leading to lower storage and IO costs.
AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights now includes PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR certifications
AWS Marketplace sellers can now add additional certifications to their Vendor Insights security profiles, including PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance. These are in addition to already available certifications for FedRAMP, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Type 2. AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights helps streamline the complex third-party software risk assessment process by enabling sellers to make security and compliance information available through AWS Marketplace. Buyers can more quickly discover products in AWS Marketplace that meet their security and certification standards by searching for and accessing vendor insights profiles.
AWS Control Tower launches additional proactive controls
We are excited to announce the launch of 28 new proactive controls in AWS Control Tower. This launch enhances AWS Control Tower’s governance capabilities, allowing you to implement controls at scale across your multi-account AWS environments by blocking non-compliant resources before they are provisioned for services such as Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon Neptune, Amazon ElastiCache, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon DocumentDB. These new controls help you meet control objectives such as establish logging and monitoring, encrypt data at rest, or improve resiliency. To see a full list of the new controls, see the controls reference guide.
Amazon SageMaker Feature Store now supports cross account sharing, discovery and access
Amazon SageMaker Feature Store now makes it easier to share, discover and access feature groups across AWS accounts. This new capability promotes collaboration and minimizes duplicate work for teams involved in ML model and application development, particularly in enterprise environments with multiple accounts spanning different business units or functions.
