With today’s release, AWS Amplify offers a new Authenticator UI component for web apps built with React, Angular, and Vue, giving developers the easiest way to add login experiences to their app with a single line of code. The new Authenticator UI component not only gives developers the quickest way to add user login and registration workflows to their apps, but also also gives developers complete control over modifying the layout and behavior to match any designs.

Today we announce the general availability of Syne Tune , an open-source Python library for large-scale distributed hyperparameter and neural architecture optimization. It provides implementations of several state-of-the-art global optimizers, such as Bayesian optimization, Hyperband and population-based training. Additionally, it supports constrained and multi-objective optimization, and it allows users to bring their own global optimization algorithm.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) has expanded functionality by adding support for the parallel load for partitioned data to Amazon S3, improving the load times for migrating partitioned data from supported database engine source data to Amazon S3. This feature creates Amazon S3 sub-folders for each partition of the table in the database source, allowing AWS DMS to run parallel processes to populate each sub-folder.

You can now use Multi-Account Registration certificates on AWS IoT Core Credential Provider endpoints. Multi-Account Registration is a feature of AWS IoT Core that makes it easy for customers to register and use the same device certificate across multiple AWS accounts and endpoints. For example, a customer could register the same certificate with testing and production accounts. Customers can subsequently move devices easily between these AWS accounts by specifying the account endpoint when devices connect to AWS IoT Core. Until now, Multi-Account Registration certificates were supported only on IoT data plane and IoT Jobs endpoints. Starting today, customers can also use Multi-Account Registration certificates on IoT Credential Provider endpoints. See AWS IoT device data and service endpoints  for more details. 

Today, AWS CloudFormation StackSets  announces the capability to execute multiple operations for simultaneous execution. StackSets extends the functionality of CloudFormation stacks by letting you create, update, or delete stacks across multiple AWS accounts and Regions with a single operation. You can now submit more than one operation per stack set to be executed concurrently. This capability will enable you to reduce overall processing times with StackSets. Additionally, you can avoid the overhead of building logic to batch and queue operations submitted to StackSets.

The Amazon Connect Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Adapter for Salesforce  now helps reduce the time agents spend searching for answers with integration of Amazon Connect Wisdom. Previously, agents needed to spend valuable time manually searching across data sources for information to solve customer issues and were unable to help customers quickly. With Wisdom, agents can search for terms such as “what is the pet policy in hotel rooms” across connected repositories, including Salesforce knowledge bases from right inside the CTI Adapter. When used with Contact Lens real-time, Wisdom is designed to detect customer issues during calls and proactively provide knowledge article recommendations in real-time. The Wisdom widget can be configured within the agent’s Contact Control Panel (CCP) or alongside the agent’s Salesforce Lightning screen layout for cases, contacts and accounts.

Today, AWS Amplify announces the ability to export Amplify CLI-generated backends as a Cloud Development Kit (CDK) stack and incorporate into existing CDK deployment pipelines. The AWS Amplify CLI is a command line toolchain that helps frontend developers create app backends in the cloud. This new capability allows frontend developers to build their app backend quickly and, each time it is ready to ship, hand it over to DevOps teams to deploy to production.

The Amazon Connect Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Adapter for Salesforce  now simplifies the contact center authentication procedure with the integration of Amazon Connect Voice ID to make voice interactions faster and more secure. Amazon Connect Voice ID analyzes caller’s unique voice characteristics using machine learning to help verify identity in real-time and display a confidence score and status within the Contact Control Panel (CCP) in the CTI Adapter. Using CTI Actions and Flows, you can automate fraud case creation or route the call to fraud agents based on the outcome of the Voice ID interaction. 

Today, we’re excited to announce that Amazon Athena supports AWS Glue Data Catalog  partition indexes to optimize query planning and reduce query runtime. When you query a table containing a large number of partitions, Athena retrieves the available partitions from the AWS Glue Data Catalog and determines which are required by your query. As new partitions are added, the time needed to retrieve the partitions increases and can cause query runtime to increase. AWS Glue Data Catalog allows customers to create partition indexes which reduce the time required to retrieve and filter partition metadata on tables with tens and hundreds of thousands of partitions.

Starting today, Amazon AppStream 2.0 introduces Elastic fleets, a serverless fleet type that lets you stream applications to your end users from an AWS-managed pool of streaming instances without needing to predict usage, create and manage scaling policies, or create an image. Elastic fleets are designed for customers that want to stream applications to users without managing any capacity or creating AppStream 2.0 images.
