Over the course of March 2022, Amazon is reducing the cost of using the Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall in all regions. First, Amazon is launching new tiered pricing effective March 1 that provides for reduced query processing fees as your query volume increases. Secondly, Amazon is implementing internal optimizations to reduce the number of DNS queries for which you are charged. Note that these optimizations will not reduce the number of DNS queries that are inspected or introduce any other changes to your security posture. Amazon customers will see these cost reductions automatically reflected in their Route 53 bills going forward. To learn more, please visit the Amazon Route 53 pricing page.

AWS Network Firewall has achieved FedRAMP High authorization for the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. You can now use AWS Network Firewall to protect and control access to and from your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) in these regions for workloads that require FedRAMP High categorization level.

Amazon Cognito now enables you to use Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) and Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) in the same region where your Amazon Cognito user pools are configured. By integrating these services in the same region, you can more easily achieve lower latency, and follow best practices in regional configuration.

Starting today, you can receive AWS Cost Anomaly Detection alert notifications in Slack and Amazon Chime through AWS Chatbot. Integration with AWS Chatbot allows you to easily configure your cost anomaly alert subscriptions with a Slack or Amazon Chime chat channel. This allows you to receive individual AWS Cost Anomaly Detection alerts within your existing chat channels, supporting improved collaboration and timely resolution of the alerts.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports managing on-premises workloads running on a Windows operating system with Amazon ECS Anywhere. Amazon ECS Anywhere is a capability of Amazon ECS that enables customers to more easily run and manage container-based applications on-premises, including virtual machines (VMs), bare metal servers, and other customer-managed infrastructure. Customers, who need to manage containerized workloads on-premises running on Windows, can now more easily orchestrate them using ECS Anywhere. Developers no longer need to run additional container orchestration software or convert their Windows-based workloads to Linux OS. 

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service now supports the containerd  container runtime on Windows worker nodes. Containerd is a lightweight container runtime that manages the complete container lifecycle on its host system, from container image transfer to execution, as well as storage and network attachment. Customers with Windows workloads can now get similar performance, security, and stability benefits from containerd that are available to customers running Linux-based worker nodes.
