IAM Roles Anywhere credential helper now supports PKCS #11 modules

Today, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere released credential helper version 1.1.0 to include support for X.509 certificates and private keys that are stored in Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #11 compatible security modules. IAM Roles Anywhere credential helper is a tool that manages the process of signing CreateSession API with the private key associated with an X.509 end-entity certificate and calls the endpoint to obtain temporary AWS credentials. With this release, you can use the credential helper to delegate signing operations to keys stored within PKCS #11 compatible security modules, without those keys ever leaving those stores; which can help improve your security posture.

AWS Cloud Map introduces new API for retrieving service revision

AWS Cloud Map introduces a new API for retrieving the revision of your services. It allows your applications to update the state of your cloud resources only when it has changed, minimizing the discovery traffic and API cost. With AWS Cloud Map, you can define custom names for your application resources, such as Amazon Elastic Container Services (Amazon ECS) tasks, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, Amazon DynamoDB tables, or other cloud resources. You can then use these custom names to discover the location and metadata of cloud resources from your applications using AWS SDK and authenticated API calls.
