1. Amazon Neptune now supports tag-based access control for IAM
Security · AWS What's New
Amazon Neptune now supports tag-based access control for IAM, enabling customers to use AWS resource tags and IAM principal tags as conditions in IAM policies. This matters for customers managing multiple clusters at scale who need a dynamic, attribute-based mechanism to enforce organizational access boundaries. Neptune's tag-based access control allows administrators to govern cluster access without enumerating specific cluster ARNs in every policy.
2. Introducing self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for AWS Lambda function code
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda now supports self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for function code, eliminating the 75 GB code storage limit and giving customers full security control. This benefits customers who manage Lambda functions at scale and need to apply their own encryption, access controls, or compliance tags to their code storage.
3. Amazon S3 Tables now support the Variant data type for Apache Iceberg V3
Storage · AWS What's New
Amazon S3 Tables now support the Variant data type for Apache Iceberg V3, allowing customers to write semi-structured data like JSON directly to S3 Tables without defining a fixed schema in advance. This enables customers to land data faster while still getting efficient analytical query performance.
4. Introducing modularized kernel cryptography in Amazon Linux
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
Amazon Linux now features modularized kernel cryptography, separating FIPS 140-3 cryptographic components into an independent kernel module that can be certified once and reused across subsequent kernel versions. This benefits customers who require FIPS compliance and need to reduce the complexity of their certification workflows.
5. Eliminating Java cold starts with AWS Lambda Managed Instances
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda Managed Instances now support eliminating Java cold starts, allowing Java Lambda functions to run with consistent low latency and high performance. This matters for production services with p99 SLA requirements that cannot tolerate cold-start penalties.
6. Second-generation AWS Outposts racks now supported in the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region
Compute · AWS What's New
Second-generation AWS Outposts racks are now supported in the AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region, extending AWS infrastructure and services to on-premises data centers and colocation spaces in India. This benefits organizations that need low latency access to on-premises systems and want to optimize for their latency and data residency needs.
7. AWS Glue Data Quality now supports anomaly detection and writing results to the AWS Glue Data Catalog
Database · AWS What's New
AWS Glue Data Quality now supports anomaly detection and writing results to the AWS Glue Data Catalog, enabling customers to identify unexpected changes in data statistics and monitor data quality across their workflows. This benefits data engineers who need to surface data quality issues quickly and efficiently.
