Today, AWS AppConfig announces integrations with AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), providing customers with additional configuration sources and encryption capabilities. In addition to its own AWS AppConfig Hosted Configuration store, AWS AppConfig already integrates with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), AWS CodePipeline, AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and AWS Systems Manager Documents as data sources. Now customers can use Secrets Manager as a single source to safely and securely deploy sensitive data. All sensitive data retrieved from Secrets Manager via AWS AppConfig can be encrypted at deployment time using an AWS KMS Customer Managed Key (CMK). In addition, AWS AppConfig now offers support for CMK encryption for other configuration data. The integration with AWS KMS enables support for Amazon S3 objects encrypted with a customer managed key or secure strings from AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store encrypted with a customer managed key. 

Starting today, customers can use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose in the Europe (Zurich), Europe (Spain), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) AWS Regions.

AWS Elemental MediaLive now supports decoding audio from sources with Dolby E compressed tracks. Dolby E supports delivery of eight discrete audio source channels in a PCM (pulse code modulated) stereo pair. With this feature you can deliver content with different language tracks and/or high channel count spatial audio from a single high-quality source. This is useful for international syndication of sports and events where commentary and immersive audio are present.
