Amazon Redshift supports federated permissions with IAM Identity Center in multiple AWS Regions

Amazon Redshift federated permissions are now supported with AWS IAM Identity Center (IdC) in multiple AWS Regions. You can extend IdC from your primary AWS Region to additional Regions for improved performance through proximity to users and reliability. In the additional regions, you now have simplified administration of Redshift fine-grained access controls at the table and column level using existing workforce identities with IdC. When a new Region is added in IdC, you can create Redshift and Lake Formation Identity Center applications in the new Region without replicating identities from the primary Region. This enables you to use existing workforce identities to query data across warehouses in the new Region. Regardless of which warehouse is used for querying, row-level, column-level, and masking controls always apply automatically, delivering fine-grained access compliance. You can also access Amazon Redshift with single sign-on in these new Regions from Amazon QuickSight, Amazon Redshift Query Editor, or third-party SQL tools. To get started with Redshift federated permissions using IdC, read the blog and documentation. To extend IdC support in multiple regions, read IdC documentation, Redshift documentation, Lake Formation documentation, and see the region availability.

Amazon EC2 Fleet now supports interruptible Capacity Reservations

Amazon EC2 Fleet now supports interruptible Capacity Reservations. EC2 Fleet allows you to launch instances across multiple instance types and Availability Zones. Starting today, you can specify interruptible Capacity Reservation IDs across your Launch Templates to provision instances in a single EC2 Fleet call.
When On-Demand Capacity Reservations are not in use, customers can make them temporarily available as interruptible reservations within their AWS Organization to improve utilization and save costs. When these interruptible reservations are available to your account, you can now use EC2 Fleet to easily consume them.
This feature is available in all AWS commercial regions. To get started, refer to the EC2 Fleet documentation. To learn more about interruptible Capacity Reservations, visit the EC2 Capacity Reservations user guide.

Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server adds ability to view and schedule new operating system updates

Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server now provides customers with ability to view and schedule new operating system (OS) updates for RDS provided engine versions (RPEV). With RPEV, RDS Custom provides a SQL Server version pre-installed on an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). When new operating system updates are available for RPEV, customers can now view upcoming updates, apply them immediately, or schedule them for application in the next maintenance window using RDS Custom APIs. To view available OS updates, customers can use the describe-pending-maintenance-actions API, or subscribe to RDS-EVENT-0230 to receive an alert when new updates become available for their database instance. Customers can use apply-pending-maintenance-action API to apply the updates immediately or schedule them within their next maintenance window.
Using these features, customers can efficiently track and apply OS updates. To learn more, refer to the Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server User Guide. These features are available in all the AWS Regions where RDS Custom for SQL Server is available.
