AWS Network Firewall introduces automated domain lists and insights
AWS Network Firewall now offers automated domain lists and insights, a feature that enhances visibility into network traffic and simplifies firewall rule configuration. This new capability analyzes HTTP and HTTPS traffic logs from the last 30 days and provides insights into frequently accessed domains, enabling quick rule creation based on observed network traffic patterns.\n Many organizations now use allow-list policies to limit access to approved destinations only. Automated domain lists reduce the time and effort required to identify necessary domains, configure initial rules, and update allow lists as business needs change. This feature helps quickly identify legitimate traffic while maintaining a restrictive default stance, balancing security with operational efficiency. This feature is supported in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is available today. There is no additional cost to generate automated domain lists and insights on AWS Network Firewall. To get started, visit the AWS Network Firewall console and enable analysis mode for your firewall. For more information, please refer to the AWS Network Firewall service documentation.
Amazon ECS increases the CPU limit for ECS tasks to 192 vCPUs
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports CPU limits of up to 192 vCPU for ECS tasks deployed on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, an increase from the previous 10 vCPU limit. This enhancement allows customers to more effectively manage resource allocation on larger Amazon EC2 instances.\n Amazon ECS customers can define soft and hard limits for CPU and memory resources at the container level, and hard limits at the task level. Soft limits reserve resources on an Amazon EC2 instance for a container, while hard limits enforce maximum usage. For CPU specifically, the container-level hard limit acts as a ceiling and helps prevent resource contention when multiple containers are competing for resources using Linux CpuShares. The task-level CPU limit acts both as the reservation for the task and prevents any single task from consuming excessive resources during contentions. Customers can now specify up to 192 vCPU as the CPU limit for an ECS task, increased from the previous 10 vCPU, enabling more effective resource sharing across multiple tasks on larger sized EC2 instances. For example, on a c7i.48xl instance with 192 vCPUs, defining a 32 vCPU limit per ECS task allows running up to 6 tasks without resource contention from noisy neighbors. You can use AWS management console, SDK, CLI, CloudFormation, or CDK to define the CPU limit for your Amazon ECS task definition. The new limit is now effective in all regions. To learn more, see documentation.
Announcing AWS DMS Serverless comprehensive premigration assessments
AWS Database Migration Service Serverless (AWS DMSS) now supports premigration assessments for replications . A premigration assessment evaluates the source and target databases of a database migration task to help identify problems that might prevent a migration from running as expected. By identifying and fixing these issues before a migration starts, you can avoid delays in completing the database migration.\n The premigration assessments will obtain detailed information about the source schema and tables to provide recommendations on the AWS DMS settings that should be used. For example, the assessment can suggest which method of reading redo logs for change data capture (CDC) should be used or it could check if the recommended settings have been enabled, providing best practice recommendations from AWS DMS experts. To learn more, see Enabling and working with premigration assessments. AWS DMSS premigration assessments are available in all AWS Regions where DMSS is available. For AWS DMSS regional availability, please refer to the AWS Region Table.
