SES Mail Manager announces three new features. The first adds support for authenticated connections to ingress endpoints via TCP port 587 (email submission port). The second introduces verified customer identity enforcement when using Mail Manager SMTP relays, and enables customers to create rule conditions in which MIME headers can be searched and used for routing logic. The final enhancement enables message envelope search for Mail Manager archives, enabling customers to differentiate between named and blind-copied recipients when searching and exporting archived messages.

By supporting connections from TCP port 587, ingress endpoints can now more easily replace on-premise mail servers such as Exchange or Postfix servers already configured to use that same port. In addition, Mail Manager’s relay action now inserts a custom header identifying the specific customer source, and a corresponding rule action allows customers to enforce that unique value as a condition for onward delivery of messages. Used together, these provide a more robust relaying behavior than relying only on allowlisted IP addresses.

Finally, the archiving search and export features now specify message envelope ‘From’ and ‘To’ as separate fields, to distinguish between the visible ‘From’ and ‘To’ fields which may have different values. This, in turn, allows you to identify messages which were received via bcc functions.

These features are all available in Mail Manager across all AWS Regions where it is launched. You can learn more about Mail Manager by clicking here or visiting the Mail Manager pages in the SES console. A blog about the SMTP relay protections is also available here .

Starting today, you can use AWS WAF in the AWS Asia Pacific (Malaysia) Region.

AWS Lambda has introduced a new getting started experience to simplify the development of Lambda-based applications using the VS Code IDE and the AWS Toolkit. This experience streamlines the code-test-deploy-debug cycle, providing a guided walkthrough that assists developers from setting up their local development environment to running their first application on the cloud and adds enhanced user experience in each step in the cycle.

When developers install the AWS Toolkit extension on their VS Code IDE, they will be greeted with this new application building experience. It guides them through the necessary tooling installations and configurations required to set up their local environment for building Lambda-based applications. Additionally, developers can choose from a curated list of sample application walkthroughs, which guide them step-by-step through coding, testing, and deploying their applications in the cloud. The developers can also take advantage of easy access buttons for one-click build, deploy-to-cloud, local or remote invoke, and integration with the AWS Infrastructure Composer, providing a visual application building experience directly from the IDE.

This new getting started experience is available to all developers with the AWS Toolkit (v3.31.0 or later) installed on their VS Code IDE. To learn more about this experience and how to get started, please refer to the blog  and documentation .

AWS Supply Chain now includes a reporting and analytics feature powered by Amazon Quicksight that enables custom reporting and analytics and provides out of the box supply chain dashboards. Customers can access their data in the AWS Supply Chain data lake simply from the embedded interface, and use out of the box dashboards that they can modify based on their needs.

AWS Supply Chain Analytics powered by Amazon Quicksight solves a key challenge faced by customers needing to create custom analytical reports and dashboards using their data in AWS Supply Chain . With the Analytics feature, AWS Supply Chain offers a unified, configurable and scalable console for operational analytics. The reports and dashboards created in Analytics will complement the workflows generated by AWS Supply Chain applications such as Demand Planning, by extending the current user interface with additional analytics such as forecast accuracy reports.

AWS Supply Chain Analytics is available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland).

Amazon Aurora announced rolling upgrades support for Operating System (OS) upgrades. Aurora now seamlessly upgrades the OS version of Aurora database clusters while maintaining read access to the data when using Aurora cluster or reader endpoint. The feature automatically applies upgrades to a few reader instances at a time so the database can continue serving read traffic for clusters with more than one reader instance.

Rolling upgrades enables customers to maintain read availability during OS maintenance activity for clusters with more than one reader instance. Rolling upgrades will automatically be used for all OS upgrades. Customers can now also use existing cluster level AWS CLI commands or AWS console commands to perform OS upgrades and there are no additional API calls or console clicks required. To learn more about how to upgrade the Operating System of your Aurora cluster, you can view the technical documentation . The feature is available all AWS regions where Amazon Aurora is available.

Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility. It provides built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, automated multi-Region replication, and integrations with other AWS services. To get started with Amazon Aurora, take a look at our getting started page .
 

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, serverless, highly available, and fully managed Apache Cassandra-compatible database service that offers 99.999% availability.

Today, Amazon Keyspaces added support for Cassandra’s User Defined Type (UDT). With support for UDTs, you can continue using any custom data types that are defined in your Cassandra workloads in Keyspaces, without making schema modifications. With this launch, you can use UDTs in the primary key of your tables, allowing you to index your data on more complex and richer data types. Additionally, UDTs enable you to create data models that are more efficient and similar to the data hierarchies that exist in real-world data. The AWS console extends the native Cassandra experience by giving you the ability to intuitively create and view nested UDTs that are several levels deep.

Support for UDTs is available in all commercial AWS Regions where AWS offers Amazon Keyspaces . If you’re new to Amazon Keyspaces, the getting started guide shows you how to provision a keyspace and explore the query and scaling capabilities of Amazon Keyspaces.
 

Beginning today, Amazon Bedrock customers in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region can now access Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3 Haiku models.
