AWS OpsWorks Stacks Adds Custom Tagging Support

AWS OpsWorks Stacks now supports custom tagging for AWS resources, improving the ability to organize your resources and report on AWS cost allocation. Previously, you had to manually add and maintain custom tags on all OpsWorks managed resources. Now you can leverage OpsWorks for tag management. After you apply tags to a stack or layer, OpsWorks propagates the tags down to Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon RDS, and Amazon Elastic Block Store resources. This makes it easy to break down costs on an environment, application, or software component level. You can apply tags through the OpsWorks console, the CLI, SDK, or API.

OpenStreetMap Public Data Set Now Available on AWS

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free, editable map of the world, created and maintained by volunteers and available for use under an open license. Anyone can use OSM to provide maps, directions, and geographic context to users around the world. In the 12 years of OSM’s existence, editors have created and modified several billion features (physical things on the ground like roads or buildings). As new users join the open mapping community, more and more valuable data is being added to OpenStreetMap, requiring increasingly powerful tools, interfaces, and approaches to explore it.

Introducing AWS Certificate Manager

AWS Certificate Manager is a new service in the AWS GovCloud (US) region that lets you easily provision, manage, and deploy Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates for use with AWS services. SSL/TLS certificates are used to secure network communications and establish the identity of websites over the Internet. AWS Certificate Manager removes the time-consuming manual process of purchasing, uploading, and renewing SSL/TLS certificates. With AWS Certificate Manager, you can quickly request a certificate, deploy it on AWS resources such as Elastic Load Balancers or Amazon CloudFront distributions, and let AWS Certificate Manager handle certificate renewals. SSL/TLS certificates provisioned through AWS Certificate Manager are free. You pay only for the AWS resources you create to run your application.
