Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) now offers consumer lag metrics for new Amazon MSK clusters by default, making it easier for you to track whether your applications are consuming the latest data available in your Apache Kafka cluster. Consumer lag metrics quantify the difference between the latest data written to Apache Kafka topics in Amazon MSK and the data read by your applications. Monitoring consumer lag metrics allows application developers to identify slow or stuck consumers that are not keeping up with the latest data available in an Apache Kafka topic so they can take remedial actions such as scaling or rebooting those consumers.

AWS Systems Manager now supports Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) endpoint policies, which allow you to configure access to the Systems Manager API. When you create Amazon VPC endpoints for Systems Manager, you can attach AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) resource policies that restrict user access to Systems Manager API operations, when these operations are accessed via the Amazon VPC endpoint. For example, you can limit certain users to only be able to list Systems Manager Run Command invocations but not to send any command invocations. You can also restrict specific users’ ability to start a Systems Manager Session Manager session.
