Beginning today, you can identify which Private Hosted Zones are associated with your VPCs by calling the new ListHostedZonesByVPC API action. This API action gives you better visibility into the associations between Private Hosted Zones and VPCs across your organization. For example, you can now easily identify all Private Hosted Zones associated with your VPC, even if those Private Hosted Zones were created by other AWS accounts. 

Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) customers can now receive event notifications when the delivery of an email is delayed because of a temporary issue. Previously, if the delivery of an email was temporarily delayed (for example, if the recipient’s inbox was full, or if there was a temporary problem with the receiving email server), Amazon SES would send an event notification after SES’ retry attempts failed.

AWS App Mesh controller for Kubernetes provides a way to integrate AWS App Mesh with Kubernetes. It offers a Kubernetes-native experience to creating and updating the mesh. AWS App Mesh is a service mesh that provides application-level networking to make it easy for your services to communicate with each other across multiple types of compute infrastructure. App Mesh standardizes how your services communicate, giving you end-to-end visibility and ensuring high-availability for your applications. 

Starting today, you can use the Amazon Chime SDK for JavaScript to develop applications that automatically adapt to changing conditions to optimize the video experience for each meeting attendee. From the JavaScript SDK, you can now enable the simulcast feature, supported by the underlying WebRTC library. Once enabled, each client joining an Amazon Chime SDK meeting will automatically display the highest quality video available for its unique situation by considering network conditions and the total number and types of video streams being shared in the meeting. 

While building a WebSocket API with Amazon API Gateway, you can now send back Sec-WebSocket-Protocol field as part of the response from $connect route. This means clients can now request specific subprotocols while connecting to your WebSocket API.  

Amazon Corretto, a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of OpenJDK, is now in preview for Alpine Linux.  

AWS DataSync now supports transferring files to and from AWS Snowcone, the smallest member of the AWS Snow Family of edge computing and data transfer devices. Snowcone is portable, ruggedized, and secure – small and light enough to fit in a backpack, and able to withstand harsh environments. The DataSync agent comes pre-installed on the device to transfer data online to and from Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, or Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. 

AWS Snowcone is the smallest member of the AWS Snow Family of edge computing and data transfer devices. Snowcone is portable, rugged, and secure – small and light enough to fit in a backpack, and able to withstand harsh environments. Customers use Snowcone to deploy applications at the edge, and to collect data, process it locally, and move it to AWS either offline (by shipping the device to AWS) or online (by using AWS DataSync on Snowcone to send the data to AWS over the network).

AWS Training and Certification has launched Amazon DynamoDB: Building NoSQL Database–Driven Applications , a self-paced, digital course now available on Coursera.

Amazon Lex now supports a built-in search intent making it easier to query an Amazon Kendra index. Previously, you had to write Lambda function code and configure it in Amazon Lex bot to extract information from Amazon Kendra. Starting today, you can add a search intent to your Amazon Lex bot to get the answers you’re looking for, whether that is an FAQ, an answer in a document, or a link to an entire document. You configure the AMAZON.KendraSearchIntent with the index details and the answers are surfaced as request attributes in the Lex response. The integration is simplified so you can deliver natural language answers from Amazon Kendra seamlessly in your Amazon Lex conversations.
