Amazon Personalize enables developers to improve customer engagement through personalized product and content recommendations – no ML expertise required. Personalize now supports AWS CloudFormation, an AWS service which allows you to automate the setup and deployment of resources through JSON/YAML text files, also called templates. You can use these templates to create or delete Personalize resources – schemas, datasets and dataset group resources, set-up dataset import jobs and configure solutions. Furthermore, you can configure, provision, and manage the complete lifecycle of these individual resources or a collection of them (stack) in a repeatable and efficient fashion through CloudFormation. Support for CloudFormation templates adds a complimentary new way of provisioning your Personalize service resources in addition to the Personalize Console and AWS CLI/SDK.

AWS Lambda now supports the aws:PrincipalOrgID condition key in Lambda function resource-based policies. Customers can use resource-based policies  for Lambda functions including specific version or alias to grant usage permissions for other AWS accounts or AWS services. The aws:PrincipalOrgID condition key is designed to control access to AWS resources by using the AWS organization of IAM principals. You can now use this condition key in the function resource-based policies to require all principals accessing Lambda functions to be from an account in the organization. Additionally, when you add and remove accounts, policies that include the aws:PrincipalOrgID key should automatically include the correct accounts and help minimize manual updating.
