IAM Roles Anywhere now supports automatic certificate revocation checking

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere now supports automatic revocation checking using certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution points (CDPs). This helps keep revocation checks in sync with your certificate authority (CA) and can help improve your security posture. When you enable this capability on a trust anchor, IAM Roles Anywhere reads the CDP URLs embedded in authenticating certificates, downloads the corresponding CRLs, and denies credential requests that use revoked certificates.
Previously, to check revocation status, you had to import CRLs into IAM Roles Anywhere and re-import them each time your CA published an update, which added operational overhead. With this launch, IAM Roles Anywhere downloads CRLs from your CDPs and refreshes them periodically, so you no longer need to re-import them. You can use this capability with AWS Private Certificate Authority or your own public key infrastructure (PKI), provided your certificates include publicly accessible CDP URLs that meet the distribution point requirements. To enable it on a trust anchor, use the IAM Roles Anywhere console, AWS SDKs, or AWS CLI.
This feature is available at no additional cost in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more, see Automatic revocation checking with CRL distribution points in the IAM Roles Anywhere User Guide.

Amazon Connect Customer now shows associated cases in contact records

Amazon Connect Customer now includes case IDs and reference numbers in contact records, helping supervisors and analysts understand which customer issues drive contact volume. Cases track issues, such as refund requests or billing disputes, across interactions and teams. Supervisors can now identify the cases associated with an interaction directly on the Contact Details page without searching individual cases. Analysts can access the same information through the DescribeContact API and contact event streams to measure the number of interactions per case.
Cases is available in the following AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Africa (Cape Town). To learn more and get started, visit the Cases webpage and documentation.

Amazon ECS Managed Daemons can now collect json-file logs from application containers on Amazon ECS Managed Instances

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) introduces json-file log driver support for Amazon ECS Managed Instances and log driver volumes for Amazon ECS Managed Daemons. Together, these features let you collect application logs with the observability agent of your choice and forward them to any destination you choose. With this launch, your application containers on ECS Managed Instances can write their logs as local files in standard Docker json-file format, which most observability agents read natively. Your managed daemons can directly read these files through a volume mount, without specifying host bind mount paths or requiring root privileges. As a result, one managed daemon on each instance can collect logs from every application container that uses the json-file log driver. Amazon ECS keeps each container’s logs in a dedicated directory named with the container ID and retains them until the container is removed, so your managed daemon can use native file-based log collection and trace every log back to the container that produced it. To get started, set the log driver to json-file in the logConfiguration of your application task definition. Next, register a daemon task definition that specifies a volume with logDriverVolumeConfiguration, and mount the volume into your daemon container using mountPoints. You can configure this using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, API, AWS SDKs or AWS CloudFormation. This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon ECS Managed Instances and Managed Daemons are available, at no additional cost. To learn more, refer to our documentation page and visit Amazon ECS Managed Instances.
