You can now view code changes made between a commit and a parent commit from the AWS CodeCommit console. The change includes a list of files modified between commits, and a color-coded rendering of the specific code changes made to each file. You can view your code changes side by side (Split view) or inline (Unified view). CodeCommit also lets you hide or show whitespace changes.

AWS CloudTrail now enables you to receive alerts if you misconfigure any resources required to deliver CloudTrail logs. Using Personal Health Dashboard, you get a view into the performance and availability of the AWS services underlying your AWS resources, and the CloudTrail integration adds proactive notifications of any misconfigurations that affect your CloudTrail service. These AWS Personal Health Dashboard notifications provide you with relevant and timely information to help you diagnose the issues and take immediate action to restore your CloudTrail functionality. For example, you will now be able to receive alerts of misconfigured Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket policies that prevent delivery of your CloudTrail logs and troubleshoot SNS notification failures due to SNS topic policy misconfigurations. Please visit AWS Personal Health Dashboard and AWS CloudTrail product pages for more information.
