Run Command, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, now displays up to 24,000 characters of the output log of a Run Command invocation from the console. This is an increase from the 2,500 characters available in the console before this enhancement. Additionally, you can now view the output and error logs separately, and you can copy the logs or download them as text files directly from the console. This feature reduces the need to navigate to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or Amazon CloudWatch consoles to view and download logs for Run Command invocations, which helps you troubleshoot invocation issues more quickly.

Similarly, you can now advertise up to 5,000 routes (an increase from 1,000) from a Transit Gateway Connect peer to a customer gateway appliance or a virtual router appliance. Advertised routes come from the route table that’s associated with the AWS Transit Gateway Connect attachment.

AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that makes it easy to discover, prepare, and combine data for analytics, machine learning, and application development. Using AWS Glue Workflows , you can orchestrate and execute a complex multi-job, multi-crawler data-integration workflow. AWS Glue custom blueprints make it easy for data engineers to create repeatable AWS Glue workflows.

With AWS Glue DataBrew, you can now visually detect outliers in data from your data lake, data warehouses, and other JDBC-accessible data sources. You can further handle outliers by replacing, removing, rescaling, or flagging them using mathematical and algorithmic methods such as z-score (to find the difference from mean value and divide it by the standard deviation), modified z-score (to calculate the difference from median absolute deviation), interquartile ranges (to calculate values between the first quartile and the third quartile) and one or more transformations such as creating a flag column, applying window functions, or choose from over 250+ other transformations.  

AWS Config now supports the ability to capture and view the compliance history of AWS Config conformance packs. You can see how the overall compliance status of a conformance pack changed over time, and which rules within a conformance pack impacted the status change. You can aggregate conformance pack compliance data from multiple accounts and AWS Regions using AWS Config aggregators to get a centralized view of your compliance regimes and operational best practices. You can maintain up to 7 years of history. You can also run AWS Config advanced queries on this data for more details about your conformance pack compliance.

You can now use the Amazon Redshift Data API in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions to access Amazon Redshift. The Redshift Data API simplifies data access, ingest, and egress from languages supported with AWS SDK such as Python, Go, Java, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and C++ so you can focus on building applications versus managing infrastructure.
