AWS Control Tower customers can now use the ResetEnabledControl API to programmatically resolve the control drift or re-deploy the control to its intended configuration. A control drift occurs when the AWS Control Tower managed control is modified outside the AWS Control Tower governance. Resolving drift helps you to adhere to your governance and compliance requirements. You can use this API with all AWS Control Tower optional controls except service control policies(SCPs) based preventive controls. AWS Control Tower APIs enhance the end-to-end developer experience by enabling automation for integrated workflows and managing workloads at scale.

Below is the list of AWS Control Tower control APIs that are now supported in the regions where AWS Control Tower is available. Please visit the AWS Control Tower API reference for more information.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M2 Mac instances are now generally available (GA) in the AWS Canada (Central) region. This marks the first time we are introducing Mac instances to an AWS Canadian region, providing customers with even greater global accessibility to Apple silicon hardware. Customers can now run their macOS workloads in AWS Canada (Central) region to satisfy their data residency requirements, benefit from improved latency to end-users, while also integrating with their pre-existing AWS environment configurations within this region.

M2 Mac instances deliver up to 10% faster performance over M1 Mac instances when building and testing applications for Apple platforms such as iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, and Safari. M2 Mac instances are powered by the AWS Nitro System and are built on Apple M2 Mac Mini computers featuring 8 core CPU, 10 core GPU, 24 GiB of memory, and 16 core Apple Neural Engine.

With this expansion, EC2 M2 Mac instances are available across US East (N.Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Canada (Central) regions. To learn more or get started, see Amazon EC2 Mac Instances or visit the EC2 Mac documentation reference .
