Amazon Redshift Concurrency Scaling is now available in three additional regions

Amazon Redshift Concurrency Scaling is now available in the AWS Europe (Zurich), Europe (Spain), and Middle East (UAE) regions.\n Amazon Redshift Concurrency Scaling elastically scales query processing power to provide consistently fast performance for hundreds of concurrent queries. Concurrency Scaling resources are added to your Redshift cluster transparently in seconds, as concurrency increases, to process queries without wait time. Amazon Redshift customers with an active Redshift cluster earn up to one hour of free Concurrency Scaling credits, which is sufficient for the concurrency needs of most customers. Concurrency scaling allows you to specify usage control providing customers with predictability in their month-to-month cost, even during periods of fluctuating analytical demand. To enable Concurrency Scaling, set the Concurrency Scaling Mode to Auto in your Amazon Web Services Management Console. You can allocate Concurrency Scaling usage to specific user groups and workloads, control the number of Concurrency Scaling clusters that can be used, and monitor Cloudwatch performance and usage metrics.

Amazon RDS announces integration with AWS Secrets Manager in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon RDS now supports integration with AWS Secrets Manager in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions to streamline how you manage your master user password for your RDS database instances. With this feature, RDS fully manages the master user password and stores it in AWS Secrets Manager whenever your RDS database instances are created, modified, or restored. The new feature supports the entire lifecycle maintenance for your RDS master user password including regular and automatic password rotations; removing the need for you to manage rotations using custom Lambda functions.\n RDS integration with AWS Secrets Manager improves your database security by ensuring your RDS master user password is not visible in plaintext to administrators or engineers during your database creation workflow. Furthermore, you have flexibility in encrypting the secrets using your own managed key or by using a KMS key provided by AWS Secrets Manager. RDS and AWS Secrets Manager provide you the ease and security in managing your master user password for your database instances, relieving you from complex credential management activities such as setting up custom Lambda functions to manage password rotations. For more information on this feature on RDS and Aurora engines, versions, and region availability, please refer to the RDS and Aurora user guides.
