Amazon WorkSpaces Web is now called Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser

By

Today, AWS End User Computing announced Amazon WorkSpaces Web is now called Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser. With WorkSpaces Secure Browser, users can access private websites and software-as-a-service (SaaS) web applications, interact with online resources, or browse the internet from a disposable container. The service helps reduces the risk of data exfiltration by streaming web content – no HTML, document object model (DOM), or sensitive company data is transmitted to the local machine. Isolating the device, corporate network, and internet from each other helps reduce the surface area for browser born attacks while protecting sensitive company data.

AWS Resource Explorer now provides filtering on resources that support tags

By

Today, AWS announces a new filter in AWS Resource Explorer to search for resources that support tags. This allows you to understand which resources can and cannot be tagged in order to better evaluate your tagging coverage in your organization or account.

Currently, customers can use tag:none to view resources in their account that do not have tags so they can determine their tagging coverage across all resources. This query may return resources that cannot be tagged. Now, customers can use resourcetype.supports:tags in their search query to only return resources that are taggable.

Amazon QuickSight now supports GetClusterCredentialswithIAM for Redshift Data Sources

By

Amazon QuickSight now supports connectivity to Redshift data source using an IAM role through GetClusterCredentialswithIAM . This is an enhancement to the previously launched feature for Redshift RunasRole which now makes the Database user/Database Group parameters optional thereby implicitly tying the temporary user identity to the IAM credentials. This feature now enables customers to use LakeFormation-Managed Redshift Data Share feature to support Cross Account use case as documented here .

Administrators can get started by creating an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role with permissions that will be applied when a QuickSight user or API call runs a query on the data source. The IAM role is then assigned to a Redshift data source. With this role, a QuickSight user or API call has the role’s fine-grained permissions applied when running a query on that data source.

This new feature is available in the following QuickSight regions: US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Stockholm, Paris, Ireland and London), Canada (Central), South America (São Paulo), and the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region. For more details, see Run queries as an IAM role in Amazon QuickSight .
