AWS App Runner adds support to deploy services directly from source code stored in Bitbucket repository. App Runner makes it easier for developers to quickly deploy web applications and APIs to the cloud, at scale, and without having to manage infrastructure.

Amazon S3 now supports multivalue answer in response to DNS queries

Amazon S3 now supports multivalue answer (MVA) in response to DNS queries for S3 endpoints. With MVA, you can now get up to eight S3 IP addresses per DNS query. You can use these IP addresses to automatically make multiple concurrent connections to S3 which can improve throughput. MVA also makes retries more efficient as applications will automatically try an alternative IP address without having to wait for another DNS query.

Your existing applications will continue to work as they did previously.

Other important features in this release include:

AWS HealthOmics now provides workflow run archiving and retention

Today, AWS HealthOmics announces a new capability to easily archive and retain workflow runs to support your data provenance requirements. In regulated environments, the need to keep long term records of which algorithms you ran on specific input data to produce specific output data is a key component for compliance. The new AWS HealthOmics capability enables you to track your workflow history in Amazon CloudWatch Logs, and use CloudWatch Insights to query this history. You can also export this data to S3 from CloudWatch for even longer term storage to meet your compliance requirements.

AWS Firewall Manager improves auditing capabilities for Security Groups

Starting today, AWS Firewall Manager improves auditing capabilities for Security Groups by identifying excessively permissive rules that permit traffic from all IP ranges. With this enhancement, customers can detect and remediate 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 CIDRs in a Security Group using the Security Group Content Audit policy. Previously, AWS Firewall Manager provided customers with an option to audit IP addresses that fall within a defined range. This new capability further simplifies security posture management by detecting these common IP ranges.

Amazon Connect launches new bulk editing features for users

Amazon Connect launches new features that improve the user bulk editing experience. With this launch, you can now update multiple user records simultaneously on the Amazon Connect admin website in less than half the time it used to take to make bulk updates.
