Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL now supports the seg extension which provides the “seg” data type for representing line segments or floating point intervals.

Change Manager , a capability of AWS Systems Manager, helps customers request, approve, implement, and report on operational changes to their application configuration and infrastructure on AWS and on premises. With this launch, customers can now set a required number of approvers for a change request before adding all eligible approvers. This provides requesters with additional flexibility to add multiple approvers for the request and get the change approved as soon as the required number is achieved. For example, customers can require three approvals for a level but specify up to five approvers. Approvals from any three of those approvers are sufficient to approve the level.

AWS Glue Crawlers support MongoDB to extract the data schema and automatically populate the AWS Glue Data Catalog, which keeps the metadata current. Today we are expanding the support to include MongoDB Atlas. This feature makes it much simpler to bring the managed MongoDB Atlas metadata into the AWS Glue Data Catalog, so that data engineers can integrate MongoDB Atlas data with S3 based data lakes and extract meaningful insights. 

With today’s announcement, you can now use CloudFormation templates to setup, run, and clean-up AWS SimSpace Weaver simulations. AWS SimSpace Weaver is a fully managed compute service that helps customers deploy large spatial simulations in the cloud. Launched at AWS re:Invent 2022 , AWS SimSpace Weaver allows customers to create seamless virtual worlds with millions of objects that can interact with one another in real time without worrying about managing the back-end infrastructure. AWS CloudFormation is a service that enables you to model, provision, and manage AWS and third-party resources by treating infrastructure as code.

You can now make changes to an AWS Elemental MediaTailor Channel closer to the live edge. When a channel is running and content is playing, it is often necessary to amend the schedule quickly in reaction to unplanned or non-determined events. For example, cutting from a live source to a VOD source after a live event has concluded or adjusting what source plays for an upcoming program a few minutes before it begins. From today, you can make certain program updates in a channel’s schedule to take effect 60 seconds or more in the future. 

Amazon CloudWatch now supports high resolution metric extraction with up to 1 second granularity from structured logs using Embedded Metric Format (EMF). Customers can now provide an optional “StorageResolution” parameter within EMF specification logs with a value of 1 or 60 (default) to indicate the desired resolution (in seconds) of the metric. 

Today, Amazon Fraud Detector (AFD) announced the launch of the Cold Start feature. Now customers can start training a sign-up or a transaction frauds detection model with minimal historical-data. Up to now, AFD customers were required to provide 10K+ labeled events with at least 400 examples of fraud to train a model. With the release of Cold Start only 50 labeled fraud events and 50 unlabeled events are necessary. The new feature introduces intelligent methods for treating your unlabeled data and optimizes model training with small datasets.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) customers can now create and manage clusters in Europe (Zurich), Europe (Spain), and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) AWS regions.

Starting today, Amazon EC2 High Memory instances with 12TiB (u-12tb1.112xlarge) of memory are now available in South America (Sao Paulo) region. Customers can start using these new High Memory instances with On Demand and Savings Plan purchase options.

AWS Firewall Manager is now available in the Asia Pacific (Jakarta) and Middle East (UAE) regions, bringing AWS Firewall Manager to a total of 25 AWS commercial regions, 2 GovCloud regions, and all Amazon CloudFront edge locations.
