Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator now supports AWS PrivateLink

Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) now supports AWS PrivateLink, enabling you to securely access DAX management APIs such as CreateCluster, DescribeClusters, and DeleteCluster over private IP addresses within your virtual private cloud (VPC). DAX clusters already run inside your VPC, and all data plane operations like GetItem and Query are handled privately within the VPC. With this launch, you can now perform cluster management operations privately, without connecting to the public regional endpoint. With AWS PrivateLink, you can simplify private network connectivity between virtual private clouds (VPCs), DAX, and your on-premises data centers using interface VPC endpoints and private IP addresses. It helps you meet compliance regulations and eliminates the need to use public IP addresses, configure firewall rules, or configure an Internet gateway to access DAX from your on-premises data centers. AWS PrivateLink for DAX is available in all Regions where DAX is available today. For information about DAX Regional availability, see the “Service endpoints” section in Amazon DynamoDB endpoints and quotas. There is an additional cost to use the feature. Please see AWS PrivateLink pricing for more details. To get started with DAX and PrivateLink, see AWS PrivateLink for DAX.

Split Cost Allocation Data for Amazon EKS supports Kubernetes labels

Starting today, Split Cost Allocation Data for Amazon EKS now allows you to import up to 50 Kubernetes custom labels per pod as cost allocation tags. You can attribute costs of your Amazon EKS cluster at the pod level using custom attributes, such as cost center, application, business unit, and environment in AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR). With this new capability, you can better align your cost allocation with specific business requirements and organizational structure driven by your cloud financial management needs. This enables granular cost visibility of your EKS clusters running multiple application containers using shared EC2 instances, allowing you to allocate the shared costs of your EKS cluster. For new split cost allocation data customers, you can enable this feature in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. For existing customers, EKS will automatically import the labels, but you must activate them as cost allocation tags. After activation, Kubernetes custom labels are available in your CUR within 24 hours. You can use the Containers Cost Allocation dashboard to visualize the costs in Amazon QuickSight and the CUR query library to query the costs using Amazon Athena. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Split Cost Allocation Data for Amazon EKS is available. To get started, visit Understanding Split Cost Allocation Data.

Amazon WorkSpaces announces USB redirection support for DCV WorkSpaces

AWS announces USB redirection support for WorkSpaces running Amazon DCV protocol, enabling users to access locally connected USB devices from their virtual desktop environments. With this feature, customers can now connect a wide range of USB peripherals to their virtual desktops, including credit card readers, 3D mice, and other specialized devices. USB redirection addresses the need for direct access to USB devices that require specialized drivers or lack dedicated protocols. This capability is currently limited to WorkSpaces Personal with Windows desktops accessed from Windows client devices. Performance and device compatibility may vary, so testing with your specific USB peripherals is recommended before adding them to the allowlist. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces is offered. For more information about USB redirection in Amazon WorkSpaces, see USB Redirection for DCV in the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide, or visit the Amazon WorkSpaces page to learn more about virtual desktop solutions from AWS.
