AWS CloudFormation Supports Authoring Templates with Code References and Amazon VPC Peering

You can now simplify your AWS CloudFormation template authoring by inserting references to existing CloudFormation templates using Include Transform. Transforms are declarative statements within CloudFormation templates that instruct CloudFormation how to process your template. Include Transform instructs CloudFormation on where in the main template to inject CloudFormation templates snippets stored in S3 buckets. For example, you can maintain your commonly used resource definitions as template snippets and use Include Transform to retrieve and include them into your main template to create or update stacks.

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.
