Today, AWS Marketplace announced Procurement System Integration, a new feature that enables enterprises to integrate AWS Marketplace with procurement systems. Builders can now use Coupa, a leader in Business Spend Management, to find, buy, deploy, and manage thousands of curated third-party software listings in AWS Marketplace. When a builder is ready to purchase the software they need, they click subscribe to complete a requisition request directly in Coupa. Once their request is approved, builders are automatically notified that their subscription is ready to deploy. With Procurement System Integration, builders can quickly get the software they need while ensuring the software they deploy meets their organization’s procurement policies. Procurement System Integration also helps procurement teams gain centralized governance and visibility for their approval workflows and purchase order tracking.

Customers can now replicate the network traffic from an EC2 instance within their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) and forward that traffic to security and monitoring appliances for use cases such as content inspection, threat monitoring, and troubleshooting. These appliances can be deployed on an individual Amazon EC2 instance or a fleet of instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB) with a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) listener. Amazon VPC traffic mirroring also supports traffic filtering and packet truncation, allowing customers to extract only traffic they are interested in monitoring.
