The Amazon WorkDocs Administrative SDK allows you to integrate your applications with Amazon WorkDocs. By using the Administrative SDK, you can perform content and permissions updates, and manage users, programmatically. This means your content management, content migration, virus-scanning, data loss prevention (DLP), and eDiscovery apps can now also work with content stored on Amazon WorkDocs.

You can now use Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) for applications that require messages to be processed in a strict sequence and exactly once using First-in, First-out (FIFO) queues. FIFO queues are designed to ensure that the order in which messages are sent and received is strictly preserved and that each message is processed exactly once.
