AWS Lake Formation is a service that allows you to set up a secure data lake in days. A data lake is a centralized curated, and secured repository that stores all your data, both in its original form and prepared for analysis. A data lake enables you to break down data silos and combine different types of analytics to gain insights and guide better business decisions.

You can now use AWS CloudFormation templates to create and manage AWS Transfer Family resources for AS2 including servers, connectors, partner profiles, and certificates. AWS CloudFormation makes it easy to configure the entire stack of AS2 resources required to initiate and test an end-to-end AS2 message exchange. Additionally, you can now access Amazon CloudWatch metrics for AS2, such as number of successful and failed AS2 messages, in the AWS Transfer Family Management Console. These metrics enable you to more effectively monitor your AS2 activity using a centralized dashboard.

Starting today, Amazon EC2 Hpc6id instances are available in additional AWS Region Europe (Stockholm). These instances are optimized to efficiently run memory bandwidth-bound, data-intensive high performance computing (HPC) workloads, such as finite element analysis and seismic reservoir simulations. With EC2 Hpc6id instances, you can lower the cost of your HPC workloads while taking advantage of the elasticity and scalability of AWS.

Amazon QuickSight now enables you to add role-based access policies to QuickSight data sources that connect to Amazon S3 and Amazon Athena. With this launch of the Run-as IAM Role for S3 and Athena, QuickSight account administrators will be able to provide an IAM Role to individual S3 or Athena data sources in their QuickSight account, rather than enabling account-wide access to connect from QuickSight to S3 or Athena.

AWS Transfer Family now allows you to send Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) messages using HTTPS. AS2 offers security features like encryption and non-repudiation by default. With the ability to send AS2 messages over HTTPS, you can now benefit from an additional layer of in-transit encryption for your most sensitive EDI payloads and further compatibility with trading partners that require SSL/TLS communications.
