The AWS Load Balancer Controller provides a Kubernetes native way to configure and manage Elastic Load Balancers that route traffic to applications running in Kubernetes clusters. Elastic Load Balancing offers multiple load balancers that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to help make your applications fault tolerant.

Amazon Connect now provides an API to programmatically create and manage hours of operation. Using this API, you can programmatically configure hours of operation which can be used in contact flows to decide which queue to route contacts to. Additionally, you can now delete hours of operation that are no longer required using the delete API. To learn more, see the API documentation .

Amazon Connect now supports AWS CloudFormation on three new APIs: Users, User Hierarchies, and Hours of Operation. You can now use AWS CloudFormation templates to deploy these Amazon Connect resources—along with the rest of your AWS infrastructure—in a secure, efficient, and repeatable way. Additionally, you can use these templates to maintain consistency across Amazon Connect instances. For more information, see Amazon Connect Resource Type Reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

AWS Audit Manager now offers custom framework sharing so you have a secure and easy way to share custom frameworks across AWS accounts and regions. This enables instant access of your custom frameworks across multiple AWS accounts, without the need to manually copy or move underlying custom controls. Custom framework sharing provides quick access to the shared framework so that your users always see the most up-to-date and consistent information as it is provided by you. You can use the custom framework sharing feature on your AWS Audit Manager account at no additional cost.
