AWS Transfer Family now supports quantum-safe public-key exchange for SFTP file transfers. Quantum-safe public-key exchange helps protect your file transfers from threats such as “harvest now, decrypt later“ attacks that record present day traffic for decrypting once cryptographically relevant quantum computers become available.

Today, we are excited to announce that Amazon EMR now supports the price-capacity-optimized allocation strategy for Amazon EC2 Spot Instances for clusters launched with Instance Fleets. Allocation strategies let you determine how EMR selects from your specified instance types and Availability Zones to fulfill your desired capacity. Price-capacity-optimized allocation strategy makes Spot allocation decisions based on both spare capacity availability and Spot Instance price. As a result, you can run Spot Instances at a lower price and with a lower interruption rate.

Amazon EventBridge Archive and Replay is now available in the Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) AWS Regions, making event-driven applications more durable and extensible by providing an easier way to replay past events. Archive and Replay enables you to build applications that can more easily recover from errors and also allows you to more easily validate new functionality in your applications.

Amazon Connect now provides APIs to search for three additional resources in your Amazon Connect instance: prompts, quick connects and hours of operation. These new APIs provide a programmatic and flexible way to search by name, resource ID, description, or tags. For example, you can now search for quick connects with “finance” in the description, prompts matching a group of IDs, or hours of operation for a specific time zone. The results include details such as ARN, status and related resource IDs. To learn more about the new search APIs, see the API documentation .

AWS GovCloud (US) Regions are designed to host sensitive data, regulated workloads, and address the most stringent U.S. government security and compliance requirements. With today’s release, Route 53 now enables customers in the AWS GovCloud (US-East and US-West) Regions to define AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) create, edit, and delete policies for individual or groups of DNS record sets within a Route 53 private hosted zone.

Today, we are launching preview of the AWS Database Encryption SDK, an upgrade to the existing Amazon DynamoDB Encryption Client, which enables you to include client-side encryption in your DynamoDB workloads. With this launch, you can more easily perform attribute-level encryption, enabling you to encrypt specific attribute values before storing them in your DynamoDB table. This lets you protect sensitive data in-transit and at-rest, as data cannot be exposed unless decrypted by your application. This new release also lets you easily search on encrypted attributes without decrypting the entire database beforehand. This lets you find the right information quickly to download to your application while your data remains securely encrypted within the database.

We are excited to announce the addition of 10 new AWS Security Hub detective controls to the AWS Control Tower controls library. These new controls target services such as Amazon APIGateway, AWS CodeBuild, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, Amazon Redshift, Amazon SageMaker, and AWS WAF. These new controls help you meet control objectives, such as establish logging and monitoring, limiting network access and encrypting data at rest, enhancing your governance posture.
