AWS Payment Cryptography now available in South America (São Paulo)
AWS Payment Cryptography has expanded its global presence with availability in South America (São Paulo). This expansion enables customers with latency-sensitive payment applications to build, deploy or migrate into additional AWS Regions without depending on cross-region support.\n AWS Payment Cryptography is a fully managed service that simplifies payment-specific cryptographic operations and key management for cloud-hosted payment applications. The service scales elastically with your business needs and is assessed as compliant with PCI PIN and PCI P2PE requirements, eliminating the need to maintain dedicated payment HSM instances. Organizations performing payment functions - including acquirers, payment facilitators, networks, switches, processors, and banks can now position their payment cryptographic operations closer to their applications while reducing dependencies on auxiliary data centers with dedicated payment HSMs.
AWS Payment Cryptography is available in the following AWS Regions: Canada (Montreal), US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, London, Paris), South America (São Paulo), Africa (Cape Town) and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Mumbai, Hyderabad).
To start using the service, please download the latest AWS CLI/SDK and see the AWS Payment Cryptography user guide for more information.
Amazon Quick Introduces Sheet Tooltips for Rich, Contextual Data Exploration
Quick Sight in Amazon Quick now supports sheet tooltips, enabling authors to surface rich, contextual detail when viewers hover over data points — without disrupting their analysis flow. Sheet tooltips allow authors to create dedicated tooltip sheets containing visuals, text boxes, and images arranged in a free-form layout. When a viewer hovers over a data point, the tooltip sheet automatically inherits all filters from the source visual and applies an additional filter for the specific data point, delivering an instant, focused breakdown.\n This enhancement helps organizations build more intuitive dashboards that reduce the need for multiple sheets or manual navigation. For example, a bar chart showing sales by product category can surface a trend line of monthly sales, a year-over-year growth KPI, and a text box with the category name — all filtered to whichever category the viewer hovers over. Authors can assign one tooltip sheet to multiple visuals, switch between basic, detailed, and sheet tooltip types at any time, and tables and pivot tables are also supported. Sheet tooltips are available on interactive sheets only.
This feature is now available in all Amazon Quick regions where Quick Sight is supported. Learn more about how to use sheet tooltips in Amazon Quick and read more about this new feature in our blog post.
