We are excited to announce the release of Amazon Lumberyard Beta 1.22, which includes 97 new improvements, fixes, and features to Amazon’s free, cross-platform 3D engine that enables you to create the highest-quality games, connect games to the vast compute and storage of the AWS Cloud, and engage fans with Twitch.

You can now automatically resolve to the private Amazon EKS cluster endpoint when using a peered VPC. This allows you to easily access a cluster using AWS Direct Connect from on-premises to an EKS cluster that is only accessible within a VPC.

Amazon Connect now logs all API calls to AWS CloudTrail, a service that enables governance, compliance, operational auditing, and risk auditing of your AWS account. Using AWS CloudTrail, you can log, continuously monitor, retain, and respond to Amazon Connect API activity. For example, you can define a workflow to get notified when an agent’s security profile is changed via API.

AWS CodeBuild now allows you to securely share your CodeBuild resources, such as Projects and Report Groups , across AWS accounts or within your AWS organization. Previously, you couldn’t share your build details or test reports generated in one account with other AWS accounts.

Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth added the auto-segment feature to the semantic segmentation labeling user interface. This feature increases labeling throughput, improves accuracy, and mitigates labeler fatigue. It simplifies the task by automatically labeling areas of interest in an image with only minimal input. You can accept, undo, or correct the resulting output from auto-segment. 

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is now available in the Canada (Central) region.  

You can now attach multiple Amazon Elastic Inference accelerators to a single Amazon EC2 instance. With this capability, you can use a single EC2 instance in an auto-scaling group when you are running inference for multiple models. By attaching multiple accelerators to a single instance, you can avoid deploying multiple auto-scaling groups of CPU or GPU instances for your inference and lower your operating costs.

Amazon AppStream 2.0 is now in scope under AWS’s latest System and Organizational Controls (SOC) audit cycle. This SOC compliance certification applies to all AWS Regions where Amazon AppStream 2.0 is available.  

Amazon Athena is now available in the AWS South America (São Paulo) region.  

Amazon CloudFront access logs provide detailed information about every user request that CloudFront receives. Starting today, seven additional data fields will now appear in your CloudFront access logs to improve visibility into the delivery of your content. For example, with the x-edge-detailed-result-type field you can identify the specific type of error and with the sc-range-start/sc-range-end fields you can determine the requested range details. These new fields are appended to the end of each log entry to maintain backwards-compatibility with the previous log file format. The seven new data points include:
