Today, we are announcing general availability of Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). AL2023 is the next generation of Amazon Linux from Amazon Web Services and is designed to provide a secure, stable, high-performance environment to develop and run your cloud applications. EKS customers can enjoy the benefits of AL2023 by using the standard AL2023-based EKS optimized Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with Managed Node Groups, self-managed nodes, and Karpenter.

Today, AWS announces support for Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) v.1.1.0 and Apache Iceberg tables in Amazon Security Lake, enhancing query performance for your security analytics. Apache Iceberg is an open table format that provides fast query performance over large tables in data lakes. As part of these changes, Security Lake has adopted several OCSF mapping enhancements. Your transformed events now include OCSF Observables , which streamlines tasks like matching threat intelligence indicators or searching for logs pertaining to a specific identity across all of your environments, making them much easier and more efficient than before. Security Lake now maps security findings from AWS Security Hub to more specific event classes available in OCSF v1.1.0 such as detection or vulnerability findings, which represent finding data more succinctly and improves usability. Security Lake has also adopted the latest version of OCSF datetime profile which utilizes human readable RFC-3339 timestamps.

Today, AWS announces the expansion in the log coverage support for Amazon Security Lake, which includes Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) audit logs. This enhancement allows you to automatically centralize and normalize your Amazon EKS audit logs in Security Lake, making it easier to monitor and investigate potential suspicious activities in your Amazon EKS clusters.

Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within the Aloha NAP data center in Honolulu, Hawaii. By connecting your network to AWS at the new Hawaii location, you gain private, direct access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and AWS Local Zones. This is the first AWS Direct Connect site within Hawaii and the 42nd site in the United States. 

Today, Amazon Kinesis Data Streams adds the ability for you to run SQL queries with one click in the AWS Management Console using Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink. With this new capability, you can easily analyze and visualize the data in your streams in real-time.

AWS Step Functions announces open workflow metrics for Step Functions workflows in Amazon CloudWatch to track and monitor the number of open workflow executions in real-time through Amazon CloudWatch. AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service capable of orchestrating over 12,000+ API actions from over 220 AWS services to build distributed applications and data processing workloads.

Amazon Redshift customers can now use scoped permissions to manage permissions for a role or user on a database or schema scope, avoiding the need to manually grant permissions on every object. Scoped permissions apply to objects in the selected scope when you grant or revoke the permission, as well as to new objects created after you grant or revoke the permission. For example, granting SELECT permission to tables in a schema allows access to current and future tables within the schema. Scoped permissions can also be used on shared databases created from a datashare.

AWS Lambda now improves the responsiveness for configuring Event Source Mappings (ESMs) and Amazon EventBridge Pipes with event sources such as self-managed Apache Kafka, Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK), Amazon DocumentDB, and Amazon MQ. This enhancement allows changes—such as updating, disabling, or deleting ESMs or Pipes—to take effect within 90 seconds, an improvement from the previous time frame of up to 15 minutes.
