The Amazon Time Sync Service is now available over the Internet. Built on Amazon’s network infrastructure, the Amazon Time Sync Service utilizes a global fleet of redundant satellite-connected and atomic reference clocks in AWS regions to deliver current time readings of the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) global standard. Previously, Amazon Time Sync was available through EC2 instances.

AWS IoT Device Defender , a fully managed service for auditing and monitoring devices connected to AWS IoT, now supports a new audit check for revoked intermediate Certificate Authority (CA). If a CA revokes an intermediate CA because it is potentially compromised, then all certificates issued by that intermediate CA are also potentially compromised and invalid. This new audit check identifies active device certificates issued by a revoked intermediate CA, and helps customers review and replace these active device certificates.
