Amazon Athena now offers Capacity Reservations in additional commercial AWS Regions. Capacity Reservations give you dedicated serverless capacity for your most important workloads. When you use Capacity Reservations, your queries run in isolation from other workloads in your account, and you control how many queries run concurrently.
Capacity Reservations is now available in US West (N. California), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Canada (Central), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Europe (Milan), Europe (Paris), Europe (Zurich), and Mexico (Central).

AWS HealthOmics introduces VPC-connected workflows

AWS HealthOmics announces VPC-connected workflows, giving customers the ability to run bioinformatics pipelines that access AWS resources across regions and public internet resources through a customer’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). With this launch, life sciences customers no longer need to migrate their data and dependencies to the same AWS Region as their workflow before running analyses. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.
This launch enables life sciences customers to develop and test bioinformatics workflows more quickly. Customers can design workflows that access publicly-hosted data sets as well as AWS resources in different regions without making changes to the workflow code or migrating data between regions. Customers can use new Configuration APIs to specify a VPC configured to access public internet resources to which HealthOmics can send and receive network traffic, making it easy to use different network configurations for different use cases. With Configuration APIs, you can add and remove public internet dependencies anytime. Networking settings are configured at the per-run level, allowing you to opt-in only the workflows that you want to be VPC connected. 
VPC-connected workflows are now available in all regions where AWS HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Seoul). To learn more about connecting workflows to your VPC, see the HealthOmics documentation.

AWS Security Hub is now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS Security Hub is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. Security Hub is a unified cloud security solution that prioritizes critical security issues and helps you respond at scale, reduce security risks, and improve team productivity. Security Hub detects critical risks by correlating and enriching security signals from Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, and AWS Security Hub CSPM, enabling you to quickly surface and prioritize active risks in your cloud environment. The service delivers near real-time risk analytics and advanced trends, transforming correlated security signals into actionable insights through enhanced visualizations and contextual enrichment. You can enable Security Hub for individual accounts or across your entire organization with centralized deployment and management. Capabilities include exposure findings, security-focused resource inventory, attack path visualization, and automated response workflows. The service automatically visualizes potential attack paths by showing how adversaries could chain together threats, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations to compromise critical resources. Streamlined pricing consolidates charges across multiple AWS security services for improved cost predictability. To get started, visit the AWS Security Hub console or the AWS Security Hub product page. For the full list of AWS Regions where Security Hub is available, see the AWS Regional Services List.

Amazon CloudWatch now supports multi-account and region log centralization based on data source

Amazon CloudWatch centralization now supports centralizing logs based on data source name and type. CloudWatch allows customers to copy log data from multiple AWS accounts and regions into a single destination account using centralization rules. With today’s launch, customers can now define rules that target data sources by name and type, such as VPC Flow Logs, EKS Audit Logs, and CloudTrail Logs, in addition to the existing log group name-based selection.
Data source name and type are discovered automatically by CloudWatch for AWS service logs and are based on log group tags for application logs.  Now, customers can specifically target which logs they want to centralize using these parameters. For example, a central security team can create a rule that centralizes all logs from CloudTrail and VPC data sources across their entire organization without needing to know or maintain a list of individual log group names.
To get started, create or modify a centralization rule in the Amazon CloudWatch console or through the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs, and specify your data source selection criteria in the centralization rule configuration.
Data source selection criteria is available in all AWS commercial regions where CloudWatch log centralization is available. Standard CloudWatch Logs pricing applies for log ingestion, storage, and data transfer. For more information, see the CloudWatch Logs Centralization documentation.
