Previously, you could define actions to publish messages to six AWS services – AWS Lambda, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, AWS IoT Events, and AWS IoT Core. These expanded actions make it easier to build remote condition monitoring applications that help you quickly understand the state of your devices by providing more options to trigger actions on changes detected by AWS IoT Events.

You can now use a single AWS Elemental MediaStore endpoint to originate your video content throughout its lifecycle, from live stream, to video-on-demand (VOD) playback, through long-tail VOD playback. With the MediaStore Infrequent Access storage tier (MediaStore-IA), you get the performance required for originating live streams and the cost efficiencies needed for long-tail VOD streams, all in a single service.

You can now configure ad break personalization for live streams with DVR-like time-shift windows using the Ad Break Suppression feature in AWS Elemental MediaTailor. For long-running events, or linear streams that have time-shift features enabled, viewers can start watching at the live edge, or at the start of the event or time-shift window. Using this feature, you can optimize the personalization of the time-shift window to increase the chance that only ad breaks that are viewed are personalized. For viewers joining live, you can choose to only insert personalized ads after the live point. For those joining from the start of the event, you can personalize all the ads within the manifest.

You can identify secrets that don’t conform to these requirements and receive notifications about these via Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) or Amazon CloudWatch Events .
