Starting today, you can rewind your job bookmarks for your Glue Spark ETL jobs to any previous job run. AWS Glue tracks data that has been processed during a previous run of an ETL job by storing state information from the job run. This persisted state information is called a job bookmark.

Amplify Console now supports Pull-Request Previews, offering development and QA teams a way to preview changes before merging code to a production or integration branch. A pull-request preview deploys every pull request made to your GitHub repository to a unique preview URL; completely different from the one your main site uses. For apps with backend environments provisioned via the Amplify CLI, every pull request (private Git repositories only) spins up an ephemeral backend that is deleted when the PR is closed.

AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate now supports custom domains. Through the existing interfaces you can now provide a custom fully qualified domain name (FQDN), its matching SSL certificate, and SSL private key and have the OpsWorks server configured accordingly. After you have created a Canonical Name (CNAME) entry in your DNS management service to point to the internal OpsWorks endpoint, you will find your Chef Automate Dashboard under a domain of your choice instead of the generic OpsWorks-created one. Also, this will now be the public endpoint of your OpsWorks server. By using a custom domain with an SSL certificate that you manage, you have an endpoint that stays the same regardless of the server being re-created: any node under management by the OpsWorks for Chef Automate server will stay associated through this endpoint.

If you already have an OpsWorks server in use and want to use your own domain, you will first need to create a backup of your OpsWorks server through the CreateBackup API. You then create a new server from the backup through a CreateServer API call, where you provide the backup id together with the three new input parameters: custom domain, custom certificate and custom private key. This will bring your OpsWorks server up with its public endpoint being the custom domain you specified. As with new servers, you will need to create a CNAME entry in your DNS management service of choice to point to the internal OpsWorks endpoint. For more details on this process, please see our documentation . Here you will also find information about which types of certificates can be used and what to do when the certificate is about to expire.

Should you be new to OpsWorks for Chef Automate and curious to experience it, it is easy to get started. By following this Getting Started walk-through, you can within 15 minutes be up and running with your first node managed by Chef Automate.
