AWS Step Functions expands data source and output options for Distributed Map

AWS Step Functions now supports additional data sources and output options for Distributed Map, enabling more flexible large-scale parallel processing workflows. Distributed map can now process data from JSON Lines (JSONL) and a broader range of delimited file formats stored in Amazon S3. Additionally, distributed map offers new output transformations for greater control over result formatting.\n AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service capable of orchestrating over 14,000+ API actions from over 220 AWS services to build distributed applications and data processing workloads. With this update, you can more easily iterate over and process diverse datasets using Step Functions distributed map. In addition to existing JSON and comma separated value (CSV) file support, distributed map now supports JSONL, and new delimited file formats, such as semicolon-delimited files and tab-delimited files. This expands processing capabilities to a wider range of data formats without custom pre-processing. The new flexible output transformations give you more control over how results are formatted, enabling easier aggregation of results and simplifying integration with downstream systems. To get started, you can use the distributed map mode today in the AWS Step Functions console or read this blog post. To learn more, visit the Step Functions developer guide.

Amazon FSx now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) on FSx Service APIs

Amazon FSx now offers customers the option to use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) while accessing the Amazon FSx Service APIs.\n More and more customers are adopting IPv6 to mitigate IPv4 address exhaustion in their private networks or to satisfy government mandates such as such as the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) M-21-07 memorandum. With this launch, customers can standardize their applications and workflows for managing their Amazon FSx resources on the new version of Internet Protocol by using the new dual-stack Amazon FSx Service endpoints. IPv6 support for Amazon FSx Service APIs is available in all commercial, AWS GovCloud (US), and AWS China regions where Amazon FSx is available. To learn more, visit the Amazon FSx user guide.

Announcing custom payment schedules for AWS Marketplace Channel Partner private offers

AWS Marketplace now supports custom payment schedules for private offers, giving Channel Partners the ability to add margins on private offers with installment plans. Channel Partners can now adjust each scheduled payment individually, either through the AWS Marketplace Management Portal or the AWS Marketplace Catalog API.\n Previously, Channel Partners could only apply a uniform percentage markup across all installments in a private offer. With this update, they can now adjust the payment amount for each installment in the schedule, providing greater flexibility in structuring deals and managing cash flow. Once the buyer accepts and pays their invoices, the Channel Partner and independent software vendor (ISV) will receive their appropriate payment as defined in the offer and resell agreement. This saves Channel Partners significant time and effort, eliminating the need to request margin updates from AWS. Channel Partners can use this feature for all AWS Marketplace products using installment plans sold through Channel Partner private offers, across all supported currencies. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Marketplace is available. To learn more, visit the AWS Marketplace Seller Guide. To try the new capability, visit the AWS Marketplace Management Portal.

Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)

Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager now offers customers the option to use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses for their new and existing endpoints. Customers moving to IPv6 can simplify their networks stack by running their Data Lifecycle Manager dual-stack endpoints on a network supporting both IPv4 and IPv6, depending on the protocol used by their network and client.\n Customers create Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager policies to automate the creation, retention, and management of EBS Snapshots and EBS-backed Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). The policies can also automatically copy created resources across AWS Regions, move EBS Snapshots to EBS Snapshots Archive tier, and manage Fast Snapshot Restore. Customers can also create policies to automate creation and retention of application-consistent EBS Snapshots via pre and post-scripts, as well as create Default Policies for comprehensive protection for their account or AWS Organization. Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager with IPv6 is now available in all AWS commercial Regions. To learn more about configuring Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager endpoints for IPv6, please refer to our documentation.

AWS Config now supports 4 new resource types

AWS Config now supports 4 additional AWS resource types. This expansion provides greater coverage over your AWS environment, enabling you to more effectively discover, assess, audit, and remediate an even broader range of resources.\n With this launch, if you have enabled recording for all resource types, then AWS Config will automatically track these new additions. The newly supported resource types are also available in Config rules and Config aggregators.

You can now use AWS Config to monitor the following newly supported resource types in all AWS Regions where the supported resources are available:

AWS::EC2::VPCBlockPublicAccessExclusion

AWS::EC2::VPCBlockPublicAccessOptions

AWS::S3Express::BucketPolicy

AWS::S3Express::DirectoryBucket
