AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) now provides action last accessed information for more than 140 services to help you refine the permissions of your IAM roles. You can review action last accessed information, identify unused permissions, and refine to scope down the access of your IAM roles to only the actions that they use for services such as Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), and Elastic Load Balancing (ELB). 

Starting today, memory optimized Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X2idn and X2iedn instances are available in Africa (Cape Town) region. These instances, powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Ice Lake) and built with AWS Nitro System, are designed for memory-intensive workloads. They deliver improvements in performance, price performance, and cost per GiB of memory compared to previous generation X1 instances. These instances are SAP-certified for running Business Suite on HANA, SAP S/4HANA, Data Mart Solutions on HANA, Business Warehouse on HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, and SAP NetWeaver workloads on any database.

You can now subscribe Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) Standard queues to Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) First-In-First-Out (FIFO) topics. Thus, from a single SNS FIFO topic, you can now deliver messages to SQS Standard queues, which offer best-effort ordering and at-least-once delivery, as well as to SQS FIFO queues, which support strict ordering and exactly-once delivery. This new capability further decouples message publishers from subscribers, as the SNS topic type no longer dictates the SQS queue type that subscribers ought to use.

Today, we announce the introduction of 11 new AWS managed policies for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with hosted control planes (HCP), which is now in Technology Preview.
