Today we are announcing a new capability for AWS Clean Rooms which provides customers the flexibility to choose the collaboration member responsible for the query compute costs in a collaboration. Collaboration creators can now configure payment responsibility to decouple the member who runs the query from the member who gets charged for the query compute costs. For example, a media publisher may agree to pay the query compute costs in a collaboration, even if the advertiser is the query runner in the collaboration. The collaboration creator sets the query runner at the time the collaboration is created. With payment configuration, costs are no longer constrained to billing based on who runs queries. All members, including the member paying for the query compute costs, are able to review settings before they join the collaboration.

AWS Lambda Console now supports two new capabilities by integrating with AWS Application Composer, making it easy for developers to either build their serverless applications visually or through IaC (Infrastructure as Code). First, developers can now view and download the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template for their function as they configure it on the console. Second, at the click of a button, they can export their Lambda function to AWS Application Composer, retaining all the function configuration.

Today, AWS IoT Device Defender announces the capability to export cloud-side and device-side metrics to your own data lake running on AWS or outside. AWS IoT Device Defender continuously monitors device fleets to detect any abnormal device behavior, alerts about security issues, and provides built-in mitigation actions.

With the new export capability, you can easily transfer Detect metrics including number of messages received, network signal strength, CPU and memory usage, to other AWS and third-party services for further analytics.

Today, AWS announces support for Terraform within Amazon CodeCatalyst. This launch allows you to provision infrastructure using Terraform within a CodeCatalyst workflow. A workflow is an automated procedure that describes how to build, test, and deploy your code as part of a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) system. A workflow defines a series of steps, or actions, to take during a workflow run. This launch allows you to add a Terraform action to your workflow, providing a way to create or update infrastructure as defined in a .tf file.
