Amazon Mobile Analytics Auto Export to Amazon S3 accumulates and exports events sent to the Amazon Mobile Analytics service from your mobile and web applications into your own Amazon S3 bucket, typically in under one hour from when we receive the event. This allows you to access the full data being recorded by your application to perform additional detailed analysis in addition to the analytics automatically produced in the Amazon Mobile Analytics console, such as Daily Active Users (DAU), Monthly Active Users (MAU), Average Revenue per Daily Active User and other out-of-the-box and custom metrics. 

AWS IoT now supports Just-in-time registration (JITR) of device certificates. This functionality expands on the “Use Your Own Certificate” feature launched earlier this year by simplifying the process of enrolling devices with AWS IoT. Prior to support for JITR, the device enrollment process required two steps: first, registering the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate to AWS IoT, then individually registering the device certificates that were signed by the CA. Now, with JITR you can complete the second step by auto-registering device certificates when devices connect to AWS IoT for the first time. This saves time spent on registering device certificates and allows devices to remain off-line during the manufacturing process.  

Amazon ElastiCache now supports M4 node types. M4 nodes provide a balance of compute, memory, and network resources. They come in 5 sizes, ranging from 6.42 GB to 154.64 GB of memory, and have superior performance and lower prices than M3 node types. You can purchase M4 node types as On Demand or as Reserved Cache Nodes.
