You can now access Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) resources for training and hosting workflows in Amazon SageMaker . With this new feature, you can use Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets that are only accessible through your VPC to store training data, as well as to store and host the model artifacts derived from the training process. In addition to S3, models can access all other AWS resources contained within the VPC. Support for VPC resources in training and hosting also allows you to use VPC Flow Logs to monitor all traffic flowing in and out of the Amazon SageMaker algorithms and models.

You can now use AWS IoT Analytics to cleanse, process, enrich, store, and analyze IoT data at scale. AWS IoT Analytics is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to run sophisticated analytics on massive volumes of data from IoT devices and sensors, empowering customers to uncover insights that lead to more accurate decisions for their IoT and machine learning applications.

AWS Service Catalog , used by enterprises, system integrators, and managed service providers to organize, govern, and provision cloud resources on AWS, now allows customers to chain together the launch of multiple products. Customers gain the flexibility to compose products with smaller AWS CloudFormation templates as building blocks rather than creating a monolithic application stack template.

AWS CodePipeline, a continuous integration and continuous delivery service, can now execute pipelines in response to events in GitHub. Previously, if you were using GitHub as a source action, CodePipeline checked periodically to see if there was a change. Now, CodePipeline can receive a webhook from GitHub when a change is made to your GitHub repository. Webhooks can tell CodePipeline to initiate a pipeline execution.
