Amazon Location Service now supports service specific condition keys allowing developers to set access control rules for each individual tracked device and geofence within a collection. This adds an additional layer of security and prevents unauthorized and unintended access while managing devices and geofences. 

Now with Amazon Forecast , you can seamlessly conduct what-if analyses to quantify the potential impact of business scenarios on your demand forecasts. Amazon Forecast is a fully managed service that uses machine learning (ML) algorithms to deliver highly accurate time series forecasts. Simulating hypothetical scenarios through what-if analyses is a powerful business tool to stress test your planning assumptions by capturing possible outcomes. It is a common practice to assess the impact of business decisions on revenue or profitability, quantify the risk associated with market trends, or evaluate how to respond to logistics and workforce changes to meet customer demand.

Starting today, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle supports Oracle Data Guard Switchover and Automated Backups for replica instances (read-only and mounted) deployed within an Availability Zone, or in separate Availability Zones of a given Region, or in separate AWS Regions.

Amazon SageMaker Automatic Model Tuning now reduces the start-up time of each training job launched to tune your models by 20x on average (from 2.5 minutes to 8 seconds). In scenarios where you have a large number of hyperparameter evaluations, the reuse of training instances can cumulatively save 2 hours for every 50 sequential evaluations.
