You can now see statistics from recent invocations of your Lambda functions directly in the Lambda monitoring tab. 

You can now use Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) with encrypted queues in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. Server-side encryption (SSE) lets you transmit sensitive data in encrypted queues. SSE protects the contents of messages in Amazon SQS queues using keys managed in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). 

Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility now supports importing of data stored in a Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket into a PostgreSQL table. A new extension aws_s3 has been added to perform the import operation. You can import any data format that is supported by the PostgreSQL COPY command, using the ARN role association method or using Amazon S3 credentials.

Import from Amazon S3 is supported with Aurora PostgreSQL version 2.3, compatible with PostgreSQL 10.7. To learn more, please visit the documentation page .

Amazon Aurora combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to three times better performance than the typical PostgreSQL database, together with increased scalability, durability, and security.

AWS IoT Greengrass Core 1.9.2 is now available. With this release , AWS IoT Greengrass adds support for the OpenWrt operating system.  

Starting today, Amazon RDS for MariaDB , Amazon RDS for MySQL , Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL , Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Amazon RDS for Oracle support RDS Storage Auto Scaling. RDS Storage Auto Scaling automatically scales storage capacity in response to growing database workloads, with zero downtime.

Starting today, you can now use workflows in AWS Glue to author directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of Glue triggers, crawlers and jobs.

Certificate authority (CA) administrators can now create a private CA hierarchy, including root and subordinate CAs. A CA hierarchy is a way to organize CAs that provides strong security and restrictive access controls for the most-trusted root CA at the top of the hierarchy, while allowing more permissive access and bulk certificate issuance for subordinate CAs lower in the trust chain. This feature expands ACM Private CA capabilities from a single level hierarchy that required you to operate your root and intermediate CAs, to an AWS-managed solution that provides a full CA hierarchy without the need to maintain external root CAs.

You can now enforce a minimum Transport Layer Security (TLS) version and cipher suites through a security policy for connecting to your Amazon API Gateway custom domain, allowing you to further improve security for your customers.  

Amazon QuickSight announces the availability of fine-grained access control for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissioned resources (specifically, Amazon S3, Amazon Athena and Amazon RDS/Redshift database discovery. Fine-grained access control allows administrators of an Amazon QuickSight account to control authors’ default access to connected AWS resources and use IAM policies to scope down access permissions so specific authors can only access specific items within the AWS resources. 

Starting today, you can monitor the Lambda functions associated with your Amazon CloudFront distributions directly from your Amazon CloudFront console for an easier monitoring and debugging experience.
