Starting today, you can now use email flow rules to filter inbound email traffic for your Amazon WorkMail organizations. This helps you reduce email from unwanted senders, route suspicious mail to junk folders, and make sure important messages are successfully delivered.

Today, we made it easier for you to follow AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices by adding additional information in the Users section of the IAM console . This new information in the IAM user table helps you monitor user activity in your AWS account and identify access keys and passwords that should be rotated regularly . It also enables you to better audit users’ MFA device usage, and gives you better visibility into users’ group memberships. This information is available in all AWS regions today.

Starting today, you can use AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (Enterprise Edition), also known as AWS Microsoft AD, to help enforce password policies that meet your security standards. AWS has added five password policies to your AWS Microsoft AD directory, and you can configure and manage these policies to enforce different security requirements for different user groups.

AWS Config now supports pre-built and custom rules in South America (Sao Paulo) and Canada (Central) regions.

We are excited to announce the availability of APIs and CloudFormation support for Amazon CloudWatch Dashboards . You can use the new dashboard APIs or CloudFormation templates to dynamically build and maintain dashboards to monitor your infrastructure and applications.
