1. Amazon S3 adds additional policy details to access denied error messages
Storage · AWS What's New
Amazon S3 now includes specific AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and AWS Organizations policy Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in HTTP 403 Access Denied error messages. This helps developers quickly identify the exact policy responsible for a denied request and remediate the issue directly. The enhanced error messages cover Service Control Policies (SCPs), Resource Control Policies (RCPs), and identity-based policies.
2. AWS IAM now provides role manager to set up IAM roles automatically
Security · AWS What's New
AWS IAM now provides a role manager to set up IAM roles automatically, creating a default role on behalf of the user or reusing an existing one that matches the required permissions. This capability benefits developers who need to set up IAM roles for supported services like AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge. Role manager can be enabled or disabled at any time.
3. Daybreak Red and Daybreak Blue from OpenAI are now available to eligible customers on Amazon Bedrock
AI/ML · AWS What's New
Daybreak Red and Daybreak Blue from OpenAI are now available to eligible customers on Amazon Bedrock, providing security teams with governed access to AI for cybersecurity work. This benefits security teams working on defensive workflows, vulnerability discovery, and incident response. Daybreak Red requires a lower refusal threshold and stronger identity verification for advanced tasks.
4. Amazon DynamoDB now supports real-time vector search at any scale
Database · AWS Blog
Amazon DynamoDB now supports real-time vector search at any scale, allowing users to store vector embeddings alongside operational data and run similarity searches directly against that data. This benefits developers building applications that require fast and scalable vector search capabilities. DynamoDB's vector search has no storage limits and scales horizontally as data grows.
5. Introducing self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for AWS Lambda function code
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda now supports self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for function code, eliminating the 75 GB code storage limit and giving users full security control. This benefits developers who manage Lambda functions at scale and need more control over their deployment artifacts. Self-managed buckets allow users to apply their own encryption, access controls, and compliance tags.
6. Amazon EKS now supports advanced Kubernetes control plane configuration parameters
Compute · AWS What's New
Amazon EKS now supports advanced Kubernetes control plane configuration parameters, giving cluster administrators more control over parameters like pod placement strategies and resource lifecycle. This benefits developers who need to fine-tune their Kubernetes environments for optimal performance. The new parameters allow for more efficient resource utilization and improved responsiveness to changes in demand.
7. Resilient HPC and ML on AWS: Running Tightly Coupled Workloads on Spot Instances
Compute · AWS HPC Blog
AWS now supports running tightly coupled High Performance Computing (HPC) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads on Spot Instances, offering up to 90% discount compared to On-Demand pricing. This benefits researchers and engineering teams who need powerful computing resources at a lower cost. However, Spot Instances can be reclaimed by Amazon EC2 with just two minutes' notice, requiring workload resilience strategies.
