You can now programmatically create, manage, deploy, and audit resources in Amazon QuickSight. QuickSight supports APIs for dashboards, data, SPICE, and permissions. Dashboard APIs enable dashboard creation from pre-configured templates and management of existing dashboards. Data APIs provide capabilities related to data sources and datasets and SPICE APIs facilitate triggering and monitoring of data ingestions. Fine-grained permissions APIs enable addition and management of AWS Identity and Management (IAM) policy mappings that control access to AWS resources such as Amazon S3 and Amazon Athena for specific users or groups within Amazon QuickSight.

Beginning today, you can associate private hosted zones with the same Virtual Private Cloud even if they have overlapping namespaces (for example, if one of those hosted zones is a subdomain of the other, such as acme.example.com and example.com). Support for overlapping namespaces makes it easy to manage permissions across your organization. For example, it lets a central team in your organization manage a parent hosted zone (such as example.com) while allowing independent teams to manage their own subdomains of that zone (such as acme.example.com and zenith.example.com).
