Amazon MSK now supports broker logs on Express Brokers

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) now supports broker logs for Express brokers at no additional cost. With access to broker logs, you can troubleshoot client connectivity and availability issues and get insights into broker behavior during rebalances or fail-overs. You can also easily integrate Kafka operational telemetry into existing observability pipelines using pre-built integrations with Amazon CloudWatch Logs and Amazon S3. Broker Logs are available for both new and existing Express brokers . You can enable them from the Amazon MSK Console or AWS CLI. To learn how to setup broker log delivery, see the Amazon MSK broker logs documentation. MSK Express brokers are designed to deliver up to three times more throughput per broker, scale up to 20 times faster, and reduce recovery time by 90 percent compared to Standard brokers running Apache Kafka. Express broker logs are supported in all AWS regions where express brokers are available. With Amazon MSK, you spend more time innovating on applications and less time managing clusters. Visit the Amazon MSK developer guide to get started.

Amazon Connect launches auto-accept for tasks, chats, and emails

Amazon Connect now supports the ability to configure agents with auto-accept settings for chat, tasks, emails, and callbacks. When auto-accept is enabled, incoming contacts are automatically connected to available agents instead of waiting on the agent to manually accept or reject each contact, ensuring that customers receive timely assistance. Previously, these settings were available only for inbound voice contacts. You can now enable these settings at the channel level for each agent to further optimize how agents spend their time. For example, you could choose to enable auto-accept for tasks while keeping auto-accept disabled for voice calls to ensure that the agent is connected to a voice call only once they indicate they are ready.

Amazon Connect launches after contact work timeout configuration for tasks, chats, and emails

Amazon Connect now supports the ability to configure agents with after contact work timeout settings for chat, tasks, emails, and callbacks. After contact work timeouts improve agent efficiency by time-boxing the amount of time each agent can spend doing after contact work for a contact, before being automatically set back to a ready state so they can be offered another contact. You can now enable these settings at the channel level for each agent to further optimize how agents spend their time. For example, you could choose to enable a shorter ACW timeout for emails while maintaining a longer ACW timeout for voice contacts to give agents a cool-down period between phone calls to prepare for the next customer interaction.

AWS Payment Cryptography Achieves Cartes Bancaires Approval

Today, AWS Payment Cryptography has become one of the first cloud-based payment cryptography services to obtain approval from Groupement des Cartes Bancaires (CB), France’s national card payment network. This CB approval, combined with existing compliance credentials, enables customers to run payment workloads in AWS while helping customers maintain CB compliance. Organizations such as acquirers, payment facilitators, networks, switches, processors, and issuing banks that are moving workloads to the cloud can rely on AWS Payment Cryptography’s CB approval as part of their compliance frameworks. Organizations processing card payments typically require Hardware Security Modules (HSM) to perform cryptography in a compliant manner. AWS Payment Cryptography provides equivalent functionality in an elastic, scalable service, eliminating the operational burden of procuring and manage standalone payment HSMs. Customers can leverage the service’s shared responsibility model with PCI PIN, PCI P2PE, PCI 3DS, PCI DSS, SOC-2, CSA STAR and ISO27001 certifications as well as the additional CB approval. AWS Payment Cryptography is available in the following AWS Regions: Canada (Montreal), US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, London, Paris), Africa (Cape Town) and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Osaka, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Sydney). To start using the service, please download the latest AWS CLI/SDK and see the AWS Payment Cryptography user guide for more information including further compliance details.

Amazon Redshift now supports allocating extra compute for automatic optimizations

Amazon Redshift now supports allocating extra compute for automatic optimization features, known as autonomics. Database administrators managing Amazon Redshift workloads can now allocate additional resources for their clusters to enable autonomics even during periods of high user activity, eliminating the need to manually schedule optimizations such as Automatic Table Optimization (ATO), Automatic Table Sorting (ATS), Auto Vacuum, and Auto Analyze. This enhancement extends Amazon Redshift’s autonomics capabilities to automatically leverage extra compute resources, to run reliably without impacting user workloads. It also includes a cost control feature for provisioned clusters, allowing database administrators to limit the amount of resources available to autonomics. Additionally, the new SYS_AUTOMATIC_OPTIMIZATION system table enhances observability by providing detailed information on autonomics operations for both provisioned clusters and serverless workgroups. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Redshift is supported. To learn more, see Allocating extra compute resources for automatic database optimization.

AWS Network Firewall announces new price reductions

AWS Network Firewall has introduced two pricing improvements for customers. The service has added the hourly and data processing discounts on NAT Gateways that are service-chained with Network Firewall secondary endpoints. Additionally, AWS Network Firewall has removed additional data processing charges for Advanced Inspection, which enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection of encrypted network traffic.
Previously, NAT Gateway discounts were limited to primary Network Firewall endpoints, and customers paid additional data processing charges when using Advanced Inspection for TLS inspection in select AWS regions. With these improvements, the NAT Gateway discounts now apply when service-chained with both primary and secondary firewall endpoints. Customers also no longer pay the additional data processing charge for Advanced Inspection that ranged from $0.001/GB to $0.009/GB in 13 AWS regions: Middle East (Bahrain), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), EU (Milan), South America (São Paulo), US West (N. California), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific (Melbourne).
These changes help to reduce costs for architectures that use Network Firewall’s multiple VPC endpoint capability and TLS inspection features. Multiple VPC endpoints allow you to connect 50 VPCs per Availability Zone to a single Network Firewall, helping to reduce operational complexity and lower costs as you protect more VPCs. By removing additional data processing charges when using Advanced Inspection, customers can now implement TLS inspection more cost-effectively across their network security architecture.
These pricing improvements are available in all AWS regions where Network Firewall is offered and are applied automatically to eligible configurations. No action is required from customers.
To learn more, see AWS Network Firewall pricing and the AWS Network Firewall service documentation.
