Use the New Visual Editor to Create and Modify Your AWS IAM Policies
Today, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) made it easier for you to create and modify your IAM policies by using a point-and-click visual editor. You can now use the new visual editor to create and modify your AWS IAM policies in the IAM console. The visual editor guides you through granting permissions using IAM policies without requiring you to author policies in JSON (although you can still author and edit policies in JSON, if you prefer). This update to the IAM console makes it easier to grant least privilege by listing all the supported resource types and request conditions for the AWS service actions you select. Policy summaries identify unrecognized services and actions and permissions errors when you import existing policies, and now you can use the visual editor to correct them. To start using the point-and-click visual editor, navigate to the IAM console .
AWS Config Adds Support for Classic Load Balancers
You can now record configuration changes to Classic Load Balancers (CLB) using AWS Config and track changes to load balancer configuration attributes, such as subnets, security groups, stickiness policies, listeners, and health checks.
Spot Fleet now supports Target Tracking and new plug-in for Atlassian Bamboo
Spot Fleet now supports a new type of scaling policy called target tracking scaling policies that you can use to set up dynamic scaling for your application in just a few simple steps. Adding Auto Scaling to your Spot Fleet is one way to maximize the benefits of AWS. Auto Scaling helps you build systems that respond to changes in demand by automatically launching or terminating Amazon EC2 instances based on conditions that you define. This dynamic scaling helps to improve application availability and reduce costs. For example, you can use Auto Scaling to automatically launch EC2 instances for your Spot Fleet when demand increases to help maintain performance, and terminate instances when demand drops to save money.
