AWS Identity and Access Management provides action last accessed information for more than 140 services

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) now provides action last accessed information for more than 140 services to help you refine the permissions of your IAM roles. You can review action last accessed information, identify unused permissions, and refine to scope down the access of your IAM roles to only the actions that they use for services such as Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), and Elastic Load Balancing (ELB).

Amazon QuickSight launches pixel based font size and text highlighting for textbox visual

Amazon QuickSight introduces pixel-based font sizing for Textbox, a departure from the fixed font sizes ranging from small to X-large. This enhancement empowers authors with unmatched precision, allowing them to finely adjust font sizes based on numeric or pixel values (“14px” or “32px”), granting greater flexibility. Along with this we are also adding text highlighting capabilities, similar to that of Insights visual. You can highlight text to emphasis key data points and insights making it easier to drive user attention precisely where you want it, making your data-driven narratives even more compelling. For more details refer here.

Introducing Amazon EC2 C7i instances

AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i instances powered by custom 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids). These custom processors, available only on AWS, offer up to 15% better performance over comparable x86-based Intel processors utilized by other cloud providers.

Amazon EC2 X2idn and X2iedn instances now available in Africa (Cape Town) region

Starting today, memory optimized Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X2idn and X2iedn instances are available in Africa (Cape Town) region. These instances, powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Ice Lake) and built with AWS Nitro System, are designed for memory-intensive workloads. They deliver improvements in performance, price performance, and cost per GiB of memory compared to previous generation X1 instances.

Amazon SNS FIFO topics now support message delivery to Amazon SQS Standard queues

You can now subscribe Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) Standard queues to Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) First-In-First-Out (FIFO) topics. Thus, from a single SNS FIFO topic, you can now deliver messages to SQS Standard queues, which offer best-effort ordering and at-least-once delivery, as well as to SQS FIFO queues, which support strict ordering and exactly-once delivery. This new capability further decouples message publishers from subscribers, as the SNS topic type no longer dictates the SQS queue type that subscribers ought to use.

Amazon EC2 Is4gen Instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region

Starting today, Amazon EC2 Is4gen instances, the latest generation storage-optimized instances, are available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region. Based on the AWS Nitro System, Is4gen instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and are built using AWS Nitro SSDs which reduce both latency and latency variability compared to the third generation of EC2 storage optimized instances.

AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning extends availability into Sydney region

AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning, one of AWS Supply Chain’s purpose-built supply chain management applications, is now generally available in Australia (Sydney). With this release AWS Supply Chain Demand Planning is now available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), and Australia (Sydney).

AWS Supply Chain adds new override retention capability

Starting today, manual forecast overrides (i.e. adjustments) made by a demand planner are automatically saved and reapplied from one planning cycle to the next. Demand planners commonly adjust system-generated baseline forecasts for known demand variations. These adjustments, or forecast overrides, reflect seasonality fluctuations, promotions, or other variable that affects the forecast. These adjustments were always entered manually during the new planning cycle. With this release, overrides are remembered and then applied to the re-calibrated system generated baseline forecast. Demand planners can now view and manage forecast overrides across planning cycles in one unified view.

Amazon EC2 I4i instances are now available in Europe (Zurich) Region

Starting today, storage optimized Amazon EC2 I4i instances are now also available in Europe (Zurich) Region. Amazon EC2 I4i instances are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) and deliver the highest local storage performance within Amazon EC2 using AWS Nitro NVMe SSDs.

Amazon GuardDuty introduces cluster configurability in EKS Runtime Monitoring

Amazon GuardDuty announces a new capability in GuardDuty EKS Runtime Monitoring that allows you to selectively configure which Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters are to be monitored for threat detection. Previously, configurability was at the account level only. With this added cluster-level configurability, customers can now selectively monitor EKS clusters for threat detection or continue to use account level configurability to monitor all EKS clusters in a given account and region.

AWS Glue Streaming now supports Kinesis Data Streams enhanced fan-out feature

AWS Glue Streaming ETL now supports the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams (KDS) enhanced fan-out feature for Kinesis event sources. Enhanced fan-out allows developers to scale up the number of stream consumers (applications reading data from a stream in real-time) by offering each stream consumer its own read throughput.

Announcing AWS managed IAM policies for ROSA with hosted control planes
