Amazon Redshift now supports Enhanced VPC Routing

You can now use Amazon Redshift’s Enhanced VPC Routing to force all of your COPY and UNLOAD traffic to go through your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).  Enhanced VPC Routing supports the use of standard VPC features such as VPC Endpoints, security groups, network ACLs, managed NAT and internet gateways, enabling you to tightly manage the flow of data between your Amazon Redshift cluster and all of your data sources. In particular, when your Amazon Redshift cluster is on a private subnet and you enable Enhanced VPC Routing, all the COPY and UNLOAD traffic between your cluster and Amazon S3 will be restricted to your VPC. You can also add a policy to your VPC endpoint to restrict unloading data only to a specific S3 bucket in your account, and monitor all COPY and UNLOAD traffic using VPC flow logs.

AWS CodeDeploy Introduces Deployment Monitoring with Amazon CloudWatch Alarms and Automatic Deployment Rollback

You can now monitor and automatically react to changes in your AWS CodeDeploy deployments using Amazon CloudWatch alarms. Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service for AWS cloud resources and the applications you run on AWS. Using CloudWatch with CodeDeploy, you can monitor metrics for Amazon EC2 instances or Auto Scaling groups being managed by CodeDeploy and then invoke an action if the metric you are tracking crosses a certain threshold for a defined period of time. You can monitor metrics such as instance CPU utilization. If the alarm is activated, CloudWatch initiates actions such as sending a notification to Amazon Simple Notification Service, stopping a CodeDeploy deployment, or changing the state of an instance (e.g. reboot, terminate, recover).

AWS Service Catalog updated access policies now available

Starting today, you can set access-level policies on AWS Service Catalog post-launch actions. Previously, users would have access either to any provisioned product in the account or only to those which they themselves launched. Now, you can customize the access level for each action, with support for user, role, and account levels. This feature allows users to be granted access to view, update, terminate, and manage provisioned products created under their role or the account to which they are logged in. For more information about policies for these actions, see the AWS Service Catalog documentation including the example policies.
