AWS Firewall Manager now supports central deployment and management of VPC NACLs with common NACL policies

By

Starting today, AWS Firewall Manager allows customers to define policies for centrally creating, deploying and managing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Network Access Control List (NACL) rules for their VPC subnets across accounts in their AWS Organization. Additionally, NACL policies provide customers with visibility into policy adherence by reporting the compliance status for each policy. With NACL policies, customers are able to implement baseline rules for protecting their subnets, such as pre-defined block-list rules, and automatically apply them across accounts. Customers also have the option to enforce NACL rules by enabling automatic remediation to revert unwanted changes and maintain a compliant network security posture. To learn more about the feature, see documentation. For more details on the service and region availability, please visit the service website and AWS Region Table.

Announcing the general availability of AWS Local Zones in Honolulu, Hawaii

By

Today, AWS announces the general availability of AWS Local Zones in Honolulu, Hawaii. You can now use Local Zones in Honolulu to deliver applications that require single-digit millisecond latency or local data processing. In this new Local Zone, you can access Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Application Load Balancer, and AWS Direct Connect to support a broad set of workloads at the edge. Local Zones are an AWS infrastructure deployment that place compute, storage, database, and other select services closer to large population, industry, and IT centers where no AWS Region exists. You can use Local Zones to run applications that require single-digit millisecond latency for use cases such as real-time gaming, hybrid migrations, media and entertainment content creation, live video streaming, engineering simulations, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Local Zones are available in the US in 17 metro areas and globally in an additional 17 metro areas, allowing you to deliver low-latency applications to end users worldwide. For more information about where other Local Zones are available, visit Local Zones locations. You can enable the new Local Zone in Honolulu from the Zones tab in the Amazon EC2 console settings or the ModifyAvailabilityZoneGroup API. To learn more, visit Local Zones.

Amazon CloudWatch Lambda Insights available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

By

Amazon CloudWatch Lambda Insights is now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Lambda Insights enables you to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize the performance of AWS Lambda functions. Lambda Insights provides you access to automated dashboards summarizing the performance and health of your Lambda functions that provide visibility into issues such as memory leaks or performance changes caused by new function versions.  With Lambda Insights, you can use the multi-function view to understand how compute, memory allocation, and function duration changes over time to optimize Lambda function utilization. You can filter functions by name or by tag. Filtering by tag enables you to, for example, show only the functions belonging to a specific CloudFormation stack. You can also use the single-function view to dive deep and troubleshoot individual request problems. Additionally, to easily troubleshoot root causes of a Lambda issue, you can take advantage of the integrations with AWS offerings, such as CloudWatch Logs Insights to analyze function logs and CloudWatch ServiceLens to analyze trace dependencies. Getting started with Lambda Insights is easy. Just opt-in by a single click on AWS Lambda Console and start collecting detailed performance metrics, logs, and metadata from your Lambda functions. Or use the AWS CLI or CloudFormation to enable Lambda Insights. CloudWatch Lambda Insights is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions. You only pay for what you use for metrics and logs. See the Amazon CloudWatch pricing page for a pricing example. To learn more about Lambda Insights, please refer to our documentation.
