Starting today, you can create and send daily, weekly, or monthly reports to monitor the performance of your AWS Budgets. Using the new AWS Budgets Reports console, you can easily select the subset of budgets that you would like to include in your report, define the delivery frequency, and specify your email recipients. For example, you can create a report that monitors all budgets for linked accounts belonging to a particular business unit and have that report delivered each morning to that business unit’s engineering, product, and finance leaders.

Amazon Elasticsearch Service has increased its snapshot frequency from daily to hourly, providing more granular recovery points. If you need to restore your cluster, you now have numerous, recent snapshots to choose from. These automated snapshots are retained for 14 days at no extra charge.

AWS CodeBuild now supports polyglot builds in CodeBuild’s managed images . Previously, you could only specify a single programming language runtime in these CodeBuild managed images. In order to perform a polyglot build, you either had to rely on a self-managed build images with various runtimes pre-installed or you had to install these additional runtimes inline in your buildspec.

Now, you can simply specify one or more programming language versions in your buildspec for your build needs. This is made possible by a concept called “runtime-versions”. With runtime-versions, you can also specify which major version of the runtime should be enabled for your builds.

To learn more about “runtime-versions” please visit our documentation . Please visit our product page or the console to learn more about how to get started with AWS CodeBuild.
