AWS Database Migration Service is now a HIPAA-Eligible Service

AWS has expanded its HIPAA compliance program to include AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). You can now use AWS Database Migration Service to move data between your HIPAA-compliant applications, including protected health information (PHI) under an executed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with AWS. DMS can be used both to migrate data between databases and for ongoing replication workloads to databases or data warehouses.

Policy Summaries Make Understanding IAM Policies Easier

Today, we made it easier for you to understand the permissions your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies grant with policy summaries in the IAM console. Instead of reading JSON policy documents, you can scan a table that summarizes the services, actions, resources, and conditions defined in each policy. This summary enables you to quickly understand the permissions defined in each IAM policy. You can find this summary on the policy detail page or the Permissions tab on an individual IAM user’s page. To learn more about policy summaries, see the blog post, Move Over JSON – Policy Summaries Make Understanding IAM Policies Easier, and the IAM documentation, Understanding Policy Summaries in the AWS Management Console.

Amazon CloudWatch Events now supports input transformation of events

We are excited to announce that Amazon CloudWatch Events now supports input transformation of events before sending the events to targets. Using this the new feature, you can extract multiple key-value pairs from their event JSONs and transform the data to fit your needs. For example, you can transform AWS console login event JSON to a human readable message and attach it to an SNS topic for email notifications. Another use case for input transformer is to simplify nested event JSONs before sending to event targets such as SQS. The input transformer is a new addition to the existing list of three input configuration features – matched event, part of matched event, and a constant. You can use the input transformation through the console and PutTargets API in all AWS regions where CloudWatch Events is available.
