AWS Lookout for Metrics announces the launch of the Athena connector , a new connector in Lookout for Metrics that allows you to query data from various data sources such as Data Lake on AWS, Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift to ingest into Amazon Lookout for Metrics for anomaly detection. The Athena connector reduces the need to setup complex ETL jobs and data preparation time for anomaly detection. You can query large datasets using standard SQL and analyze it before ingesting in an anomaly detector . The Athena connector supports data formatted in CSV, JSON, ORC (Optimized Row Columnar), Parquet, XML, plain text and AVRO.

Amazon Cognito now enables application developers to propagate IP address as part of the caller context data in unauthenticated calls to Amazon Cognito. When Amazon Cognito’s Advanced Security Features (ASF) are enabled, this feature improves risk calculation and resulting authentication decisions performed in flows such as sign-up, account confirmation, and password change. Prior to this change, the end user IP address was not available in unauthenticated calls if these calls were initiated behind a proxy. With this new feature, developers who build identity micro-services, authentication modules or identity proxies can now leverage APIs to gain visibility into the client’s IP address and utilize them in other security applications to better understand the risk of a particular user activity.

Amazon Timestream is now in scope for FedRAMP Moderate in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon).

You can now use Elastic Volumes to dynamically increase the capacity and tune the performance of your io2 Block Express volumes with no downtime or performance impact, in the same manner as other EBS volumes. Additionally, you can now create a fully initialized io2 Block Express volume from a Fast Snapshot Restore (FSR) enabled snapshot. Volumes that are created from FSR-enabled snapshots instantly deliver their provisioned performance. These features add to the capabilities of the highest-performance EBS volume type – io2 Block Express.
