AWS Backup launches resource exclusion for AWS CloudFormation stack
Today, AWS Backup announces support for AWS CloudFormation resource exclusion, allowing you to exclude resources from your application backups. AWS Backup is a fully managed service that centralizes and automates data protection across AWS services and hybrid workloads.

Amazon CloudWatch Logs announces regular expression filter pattern syntax support
We are excited to announce regular expression support for Amazon CloudWatch Logs filter pattern syntax, making it easier to search and match relevant logs. Customers use filter pattern syntax today to search logs, extract metrics using metric filters, and send specific logs to other destinations with subscription filters. With today’s launch, customers will be able to further customize these operations to meet their needs with flexible and powerful regular expressions within filter patterns. Now customers can define one filter to match multiple IP subnets or HTTP status codes using a regular expression such as ‘{ $.statusCode=%4[0-9]{2}% }’ rather than having to define multiple filters to cater to each variation, reducing the configuration and management overhead on their logs.
Amazon Location Service is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region
Today, we are announcing the availability of Amazon Location Service in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. Amazon Location Service is a location-based service that helps developers easily and securely add maps, points of interest, geocoding, routing, tracking, and geofencing to their applications without compromising on data quality, user privacy, or cost. With Amazon Location Service, you retain control of your location data, protecting your privacy and reducing enterprise security risks.
