We are pleased to announce that Elastic Load Balancing now provides an API that can be used to access service limits for Application Load Balancers and Classic Load Balancers.

Simplify Migration and Improve Security of Active Directory–Integrated .NET Applications by Using AWS Microsoft AD

Today, we enabled additional Active Directory (AD) features in AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (Enterprise Edition), also known as AWS Microsoft AD, that make it easier to migrate more .NET applications to the AWS Cloud. You can now improve the security of .NET applications by using group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA) and Kerberos constrained delegation (KCD) enabled features. With gMSA, you can narrow permissions to your account, thereby reducing risks by not using built-in user accounts with full server control. gMSA makes it easier to manage .NET applications by creating and rotating the account password automatically, and a single account can be used by one or more application servers.

Amazon WorkMail now offers an SMTP gateway for sending email

Amazon WorkMail now supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) protocol for sending email, which allows you to use an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) capable email client to send email through WorkMail. Previously, you could use an IMAP email client to access your WorkMail email, but to send email, you still needed to configure an SMTP end point using a service like Amazon Simple Email Service. With this new feature, you can use your IMAP email client to access and send email through Amazon WorkMail directly.
