AWS Wickr launches admin APIs for programmatic network management at scale

AWS Wickr now provides a suite of admin APIs that empower administrators to programmatically manage secure communication networks at scale. These APIs enable you to automate critical administrative workflows including user lifecycle management, network configuration, and security group administration. With user lifecycle management APIs, you can automatically create users and assign security groups when employees join, or deactivate accounts when they leave. Network configuration APIs allow you to quickly create or delete networks on demand as your organization scales or restructures, and push standardized retention and federation policies across departments. Security group administration APIs enable automatic user placement based on directory attributes such as job function or clearance level. By connecting Wickr administration directly into your identity management systems, policy management frameworks, and automation pipelines, you can now manage secure communications infrastructure across thousands of users alongside your other cloud service integrations.
AWS Wickr is a security-first messaging and collaboration service designed to help keep your communications secure, private, and compliant. AWS Wickr protects messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and location sharing with end-to-end encryption. Customers have full administrative control over data and users, including single sign-on (SSO) integration. Administrators can enforce policies that set password complexity and retention rules, configure ephemeral messaging options, or remotely delete credentials. You can log conversations to a private data store so you can retain messages and files sent to and from the organization to meet compliance requirements. The AWS Wickr Admin APIs are available today in all AWS regions where AWS Wickr is currently supported, including AWS GovCloud (US-West). You can leverage these APIs through AWS SDKs, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or direct REST API calls. To learn more, see:

Oracle Database@AWS now supports sharing of AWS Marketplace entitlements across accounts

Today, Oracle Database@AWS announced ability to share AWS Marketplace entitlements across accounts within an AWS Organization. With this feature, customers can now accept an Oracle Database@AWS AWS Marketplace offer in one AWS account, and share that entitlement with additional accounts in their AWS Organization. This allows customers to consume Oracle Database@AWS services from multiple AWS accounts using a single AWS Marketplace entitlement purchased for their organization. Many Oracle Database@AWS customers use separate AWS accounts for their development and production environments, and for different business units within their organization. Customers want a single buyer agreement to use Oracle Database@AWS within their organization, and use the purchased AWS Marketplace entitlement across multiple business units, and across their development and production environments. With AWS Marketplace Managed Entitlements, customers can now share their Oracle Database@AWS entitlement with other accounts in their AWS Organization using AWS License Manager console or APIs. These accounts can accept and activate their shared AWS Marketplace entitlement from AWS License Manager, and then start consuming Oracle Database@AWS services using the shared entitlement. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Oracle Database@AWS is offered. For information about managing entitlements on Oracle Database@AWS, see documentation.
