Windows worker nodes are now fully supported by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Previously, EKS supported running Windows nodes as part of a public preview.

AWS Snowball Edge now allows you to perform an offline update to the software of your Snowball Edge device when your device is not connected to the internet.

Following the recent announcement of updates to the PostgreSQL database , we have updated Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL to support new PostgreSQL minor versions. This release contains security fixes, bug fixes and improvements done by the PostgreSQL community.  

You can now retrieve additional data from DynamoDB tables as part of the rule processing in AWS IoT Core. To do so, simply use the get_dynamodb() function in the SQL statement of your rule, either in the SELECT clause to enrich message payload or in the WHERE clause to evaluate a condition with context from a DynamoDB table of your choice.

Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose now supports delivery to Amazon Elasticsearch Service across accounts. Now your delivery stream and your Elasticsearch clusters can reside in different accounts. This makes it easier for Amazon Elasticsearch Service customers with multiple accounts to ingest streaming data and analyze it in near real time. 

You can now compare and view differences between two notebooks that are version controlled with Git in SageMaker. Jupyter notebooks (which SageMaker notebooks are built upon) are stored as JSON documents which include tags and metadata, making it difficult to diff with traditional line-by-line text diffing tools.  

Application Load Balancers and Network Load Balancers now support three new security policies for forward secrecy: ELBSecurityPolicy-FS-1-2-2019-08, ELBSecurityPolicy-FS-1-1-2019-08 and ELBSecurityPolicy-FS-1-2-Res-2019-08.

Amazon Athena now allows you to connect directly to Athena through an interface VPC endpoint in your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). With this feature, you can submit your queries to Athena securely without requiring an Internet Gateway in your VPC.

AZ64, a proprietary compression encoding that is designed to achieve a high compression ratio and improved query performance, is now available. Innovations in the AZ64 algorithm efficiently compress small groups of data values and leverage SIMD instructions for data parallel processing. This encoding results in significant storage savings in most cases relative to LZO and ZSTD encodings and optimal de-compression performance for numeric and date/time data stored in Amazon Redshift.

Amazon Elastic Container Service(ECS) now supports the ability to add G4 Instance types to your ECS clusters in all regions where G4 is supported by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) . Amazon EC2 G4 instances deliver the industry’s most cost-effective GPU instance for deploying machine learning models in production and graphics-intensive applications.
