Starting today, web developers can use the Amazon Chime SDK React Component Library to simplify implementation of common user experiences, for example device selection and local video preview, in their real-time voice, video, and screen sharing web applications. By building with higher-level components, developers can focus on customizing their application while reducing investments in complex client implementations requiring careful configuration of audio and video parameters. 

Amazon Redshift now supports up to 100K tables in a single cluster for clusters with DC2.8XL, DS2.8XL, RA3.4XL, and RA3.16XL node types.

Amazon WorkSpaces now allows you to use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as your Amazon WorkSpaces registration code.

Amazon WorkSpaces cross-Region redirection works with both public domain names and domain names in private DNS zones. The new feature is designed for customers who deploy WorkSpaces in multiple Regions to achieve regional resiliency and high availability.
