AWS IAM Identity Center now supports separate quotas for AWS accounts and applications

AWS IAM Identity Center now supports separate quotas for the number of AWS accounts and applications that can be configured in an IAM Identity Center instance. By default, you can configure up to 7,000 AWS accounts and up to 7,000 applications independently, so that using more of one does not consume capacity from the other. Quotas can be further increased by submitting a quota increase request through AWS Service Quotas console.
Customers with existing higher limits are automatically granted the same limit for both accounts and applications, with no action required. Organizations managing thousands of AWS accounts can now onboard applications without consuming account quota capacity.
This update is available in all AWS Regions where IAM Identity Center is available.
To learn more, see Quotas for IAM Identity Center. Visit the IAM Identity Center product page to get started.

AWS Batch now supports customer-ordered instance allocation strategies

AWS Batch now offers the Best Fit Progressive Ordered (BFPO) and Spot Capacity Optimized Prioritized (SCOP) allocation strategies, giving you more control over instance type prioritization in your compute environments. BFPO and SCOP enable you to manually define instance type ordering based on your workload-specific performance characteristics. To use these features in AWS Batch, specify BEST_FIT_PROGRESSIVE_ORDERED allocation strategy for your on-demand compute environments or SPOT_CAPACITY_OPTIMIZED_PRIORITIZED for your Amazon EC2 Spot compute environments and provide an ordered list of instance types or families. These features are available via the AWS Batch API (CreateComputeEnvironment or UpdateComputeEnvironment) or the AWS Batch Management Console. BFPO and SCOP allocation strategies are supported today in all AWS Regions where AWS Batch is available. For more information, see the AWS Batch User Guide.

AWS Network Firewall updates default drop action for improved connection reliability

AWS Network Firewall now uses “Application drop established (server-directed only)” as the default stateful action for all newly created firewall policies, replacing the previous default of “Application drop established (bidirectional)” (formerly named “Application layer drop established”). No action is required to benefit from this change when creating new policies. AWS Network Firewall is a managed service that lets you deploy network protections across your Amazon VPCs. Previously, the “Application drop established (bidirectional)” default could silently drop legitimate server-to-client TCP packets, such as window updates, keep-alives, and resets — causing intermittent connection failures that were difficult to diagnose. With the safer default now in place, new policies avoid this issue. If your existing environment requires “Application drop established (bidirectional)” to support post-quantum cryptography (PQC) fragmented TLS handshakes, refer to our documentation for guidance on on switching to “Application drop established (server-directed only)” or adding the “to_server” flag to your TCP drop rules so legitimate flow control packets are not blocked. This update is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is offered. To get started, see Managing evaluation order for Suricata compatible rules in the AWS Network Firewall service documentation.
