Amazon S3 Access Points aliases allow any application that requires an S3 bucket name to easily use an access point. With S3 Access Points, you can create hundreds of unique policies to easily control access to shared datasets. Now, you can use S3 Access Point aliases anywhere you use S3 bucket names to access data in S3. With this update, you can use S3 Access Point aliases with AWS services, including Amazon EMR, Amazon Storage Gateway, and Amazon Athena, open-source packages, such as Apache Spark and Apache Hive, and Amazon Partner Network (APN) solutions without any code changes and at no additional cost.

AWS App2Container (A2C) now supports containerization and deployment of multi-tier Windows applications. This is in addition to A2C support for ASP.NET applications. With this release, customers can now containerize the following types of Windows applications: a) Multi-tier Windows applications — IIS applications or Windows services running in multi-tier architecture containerized separately, deployed to ECS or EKS clusters, and create network resources for communication between deployed applications, b) Cooperating applications on the same host – multiple applications running on the same host containerized in a single container. This release also allows customers to containerize a Windows service in a stand-alone container. Customers can continue to deploy these containerized multi-tier applications to their choice of container platforms, ECS or EKS using A2C.
