Today, we’re announcing the ability to download your LOA-CFA for your Direct Connect connection in the AWS management console. This self-service feature makes it easier for you to access your LOA and provision your connection quicker. You now have access to your LOA anytime you need it from anywhere you can access the AWS console. Previously, LOAs were sent by email and if they expired after 90 days, you had to contact AWS Support for a refreshed LOA. Now, you can log into the AWS console and download your LOA without having to worry about which email address it was sent to.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service last accessed data is now available for two additional regions: South America (Sao Paulo) and Asia Pacific (Seoul). Service last accessed data helps you identify overly permissive policies attached to an IAM entity (a user, group, or role). With this release, you can view the date when an IAM entity last accessed an AWS service in these two regions.

You can now retry an action in AWS CodePipline after it has failed. Previously, you needed to manually restart the entire pipeline or commit a new change to your pipeline’s source stage to retry the failed action.

You can now use AWS OpsWorks to configure and manage Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers running CentOS 7.
