We’re excited to announce the launch of AWS Security Hub Automated Response & Remediation, a reference implementation that includes a library of automated security response and remediation actions to common security findings. The AWS Security Hub Automated Response & Remediation solution makes it easier for customers to resolve common security findings and improve their security posture in AWS.

Distributor, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, now allows you to install and manage a popular third party agent. With this launch, you can select a pre-built agent directly from Distributor without having to create or maintain any software packages. The Trend Micro Cloud One agent is the first agent offered. AWS will continue to seek opportunities to offer many other popular security and monitoring agents.

Amazon S3 Access Points now support the Copy API , allowing customers to copy data to and from access points within an AWS Region. S3 Access Points simplify managing data access at scale for applications using shared data sets on S3, such as usage and transaction logs for analytics, and post-processing. S3 Access Points are unique hostnames that you can create to enforce distinct and precise permissions and network controls for any request made through the access point.

Amazon Forecast uses machine learning to generate accurate demand forecasts, without requiring any prior ML experience for inventory planning, workforce planning, energy demand forecasting and cloud infrastructure usage forecasting. This technology has been developed from over 20 years of forecasting at Amazon.com. Amazon Forecast is a fully managed service, so there are no servers to provision, and no machine learning models to build, train, or deploy. 

You can now develop your AWS Lambda functions using Go on Amazon Linux 2, the latest generation of Amazon Linux. You can read more about the Go programming model in the AWS Lambda documentation .

You can now develop AWS Lambda functions using Java 8 (Corretto). Amazon Corretto 8 is a no-cost, production-ready distribution of OpenJDK 8 that comes with long-term support. Lambda functions written in Java 8 (Corretto) run on Amazon Linux 2, the latest generation of Amazon Linux. You can read more about the Java programming model in the AWS Lambda documentation . 

Starting today, you can stop and restart your workflows in AWS Glue giving you more control over the orchestration of your Glue ETL workloads. Additionally, you can specify the maximum number of concurrent runs for your Glue workflow.

Amazon FSx for Lustre, a service that provides high-performance shared storage, today announced new Hard Disk Drive (HDD) storage options that make it even more cost effective to power any compute workload with a fast, shared file system. When creating shared file systems for compute workloads, you can now choose between existing SSD storage options and two new HDD storage options, each offering different levels of performance. The HDD options reduce storage costs by up to 80% for throughput-intensive workloads that don’t require the sub-millisecond latencies of SSD storage, including genome analysis, financial simulations, and seismic data processing.

Amazon EC2 G4 instances which provide industry’s most cost-effective GPU platform for deploying machine learning models in production and graphics-intensive applications are now available in the Africa (Cape Town) and Europe (Milan) AWS regions, bringing the total number of available regions to 22.
