AWS Firewall Manager now supports centrally distributing VPC security group tags when creating a common security group policy.

Amazon Nimble Studio now supports seamless AWS Identity Access Management (IAM) profile access for studio components, and custom studio components, directly to workstation sessions, available immediately. This allows Nimble Studio admins to set up and control additional properties of their streaming workstations via seamless IAM role permissions, ensuring artists have the right level of access for the tasks they’re working on, without the need to switch profiles. Custom components use PowerShell scripts for Windows, and shell scripts for Linux instances. These configurations can then be added to Nimble Studio Launch Profiles for easy retrieval. With custom configurations, you can add resources to your workstations and run custom scripts on your instance, system, and user initialization with greater flexibility than before with seamless IAM role permissions.

AWS Security Hub  has added four new integration partners to help customers with their cloud security posture monitoring. Integrations from Lacework, Juniper Networks, SentinelOne, and K9 Security bring Security Hub to 79 integrations.

Juniper Networks’ vSRX Virtual Next Generation Firewall  sends security events observed by the firewall to Security Hub. SentinelOne  sends security findings, identified by SentinelOne endpoints running in your AWS environment, to Security Hub. K9 Security  sends findings to Security Hub related to important access changes within your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configuration.

Amazon SageMaker model training now supports heterogeneous clusters, which enables launching training jobs that use multiple instance types in a single job. This new capability can improve your training cost by running different parts of the model training on the most suitable instance type. For example, we recently trained a ResNet-50 computer vision model on a heterogeneous cluster with ml.g5.xl and ml.c5n.2xl instances. This training job resulted in 13% lower cost than training the same model on a cluster with only ml.g5.xl instances with the same accuracy.
