AWS Billing Conductor Improves Account Visibility with Billing Transfer Inventory

AWS Billing Conductor Console now enables you to see which accounts have received or accepted billing transfer invites but still lack access to pro forma billing data.
 
This page helps customers detect and close gaps in their account’s billing visibility. When an account accepts a billing transfer invitation, billing data is transferred to the inviting account. By configuring a billing group via AWS Billing Conductor, accounts can access pro forma cost data across Billing and Cost Management tools. This page provides visibility into what accounts currently lack access to pro forma billing data, making it easier to complete this configuration step. Customers can also sign up for daily notifications via AWS User Notifications and Amazon EventBridge to receive a summary of accepted billing transfers that lack a corresponding billing group. Notifications are available via email, Amazon Q Developer in chat applications (Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Amazon Chime), AWS Console Mobile Application push notifications, and the Console Notifications Center. 

 

These features are available in the US East (N. Virginia) region. To get started, visit the AWS Billing Conductor console. To learn more about setting up EventBridge integration, see the EventBridge documentation. For instructions on configuring User Notifications, see the User Notifications documentation. To learn more about Billing Transfer and AWS Billing Conductor visit the Billing Transfer product page, AWS Billing documentation and the AWS Cost Management documentation.

AWS announces ExtendDB, an open source DynamoDB-compatible adapter

Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced version 0.1 of ExtendDB, an open source project that implements the Amazon DynamoDB API with pluggable storage backends. Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, fully managed NoSQL database with single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. ExtendDB enables application developers, platform teams, and enterprise architects to use the DynamoDB programming model in environments where the DynamoDB managed service is not available, including developer laptops, on-premises data centers, and disconnected edge sites, without rewriting application code. ExtendDB implements the DynamoDB control plane and data plane APIs, including operations on tables, items, and streams. The reference storage backend at launch is PostgreSQL, and the pluggable architecture allows the community to add new storage backends without modifying the core adapter. Developers can use ExtendDB for high-fidelity local development and continuous integration testing, and operate DynamoDB-shaped workloads in on-premises data centers backed by a supported database. ExtendDB is maintained by AWS, released under the Apache 2.0 license, and developed in the open on GitHub. We invite the community to contribute backend implementations, submit feedback, and participate in the project’s evolution. To learn more, see the ExtendDB project page and the AWS database blog post. To get started or contribute, visit the GitHub repository.

Security Hub Extended expands to 21 curated partner solutions across 9 categories

AWS Security Hub Extended plan now includes 21 curated partner solutions across 9 security categories, adding SentinelOne (endpoint), CyberArk (identity), Sublime (email), Varonis (data security), LayerX (browser), Native Security (cloud), and Zenity (AI security). With these additions, you have more flexibility to select the solutions that best fit your enterprise security requirements. All solutions have published pay-as-you-go pricing, a single AWS bill, automatic Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) eligibility, unified Level 1 support for AWS Enterprise Support customers, and no long-term commitments.
Security Hub Extended is a plan of Security Hub that helps simplify how you procure, deploy, and integrate a full-stack enterprise security solution across endpoint, identity, email, network, data, browser, cloud, AI, and security operations. With today’s expansion, you now have more choice within each category, selecting between established leaders and fast-growing innovators across your security domains. Security findings from all participating solutions are emitted in the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) schema and automatically aggregated in AWS Security Hub. With the Extended plan, you can combine AWS and curated partner solutions to quickly identify and respond to risks that span boundaries.
 
We will continue to expand the Extended plan based on customer feedback. The seven new curated partner solutions are available today in all AWS commercial Regions where Security Hub is available. For a list of supported Regions, see the AWS Region table. For more information about pricing, visit the AWS Security Hub pricing page.

Amazon Managed Grafana now supports dual-stack connectivity (IPv6 and IPv4)

Amazon Managed Grafana now supports dual-stack connectivity, enabling workspaces to communicate over both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Dual-stack mode is available for workspaces running Grafana version 10.4 or later.
With dual-stack support, customers can simplify their network stack by eliminating the need to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. Customers migrating to IPv6 can connect to their Grafana workspaces over IPv6 while maintaining IPv4 compatibility, and those not yet on IPv6 can continue using IPv4-only connections. This is especially beneficial as the continued growth of the internet exhausts available IPv4 addresses. 
Support for dual-stack connectivity on Amazon Managed Grafana is available in all regions where the service is generally available. To get started, update your workspace configuration via the Amazon Managed Grafana console, API, or CLI. For more information, see the Amazon Managed Grafana User Guide. To learn more about best practices for configuring IPv6 in your environment, visit the whitepaper on IPv6 in AWS.

Amazon ECS introduces pause and continue controls for service deployments

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now enables you to pause service deployments at critical stages during deployment progression and continue deployments when ready. You can use these pause points to introduce manual decision points and interactive controls into your deployments for scenarios such as manual approval workflows, operational checks, integration tests, or custom automation, while continuing to use native Amazon ECS deployment strategies with managed traffic shifting, bake times, fast rollbacks, CloudWatch alarms, and deployment circuit breaker.
With this launch, you can configure a new PAUSE deployment lifecycle hook as part of your Amazon ECS service deployment configuration. When a deployment reaches a configured pause point, Amazon ECS pauses deployment progression and emits Amazon EventBridge events that you can use to trigger automation workflows, approval systems, or external validation processes. You can then continue or roll back the deployment using the new ContinueServiceDeployment API. With pause hooks, you can configure timeout durations up to 14 days and timeout actions to automatically continue or roll back the deployment if no action is received.
You can configure pause hooks for rolling, blue/green, linear, and canary deployment strategies using the Amazon ECS Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Terraform. You can use the ContinueServiceDeployment API through the Amazon ECS Console, AWS CLI, and AWS SDKs. This feature is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, see our documentation on pause hooks for service deployments and continuing service deployments.
