Following the announcement of updates to the PostgreSQL database by the open source community, we have updated Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition to support PostgreSQL 14.6, 13.9, 12.13, and 11.18. These releases contains product improvements and bug fixes made by the PostgreSQL community, along with Aurora-specific improvements. Refer to the Aurora version policy to help you to decide how often to upgrade and how to plan your upgrade process. As a reminder, if you are running any version of Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL 10, you must upgrade to a newer major version by January 31, 2023. 

Amazon Detective now adds visual summaries and analytics about your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) flow logs from your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) workloads. This new capability visualizes all network traffic from your EKS workloads and allows you to quickly answer questions like “what ports or network services were in use by my EKS workloads?”, “were there any large data transfers from my EKS workloads?”, and “what IP address were connected to my EKS workloads?” These details help security analysts investigate potential security issues, diagnose unexpected network behavior, and identify other AWS resources that might be affected.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL now supports inbound replication from Amazon RDS Single-AZ database (DB) instances and Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instances with one standby to Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployments with two readable standbys. You can use this inbound replication to help migrate your existing Amazon RDS PostgreSQL deployments to Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployments with two readable standbys, which have one writer instance and two readable standby instances across three availability zones. By creating a Multi-AZ deployment with two readable standbys as a read replica of your existing RDS PostgreSQL database instance, you can promote the read replica to be your new primary, typically within minutes. 

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) has increased the maximum number of Access Points per file system from 120 to 1,000, enabling you to control file system access permissions across a larger number of applications in multi-tenant environments.

You can now use AWS Elemental MediaLive to add timecode visually into individual video outputs from a MediaLive channel.
