Today, customers in regulated industries face the challenge of defining and enforcing controls needed to meet compliance and security requirements while empowering engineers to make their design choices. In addition to addressing risk, reliability, performance, and resiliency requirements, organizations may also need to comply with frameworks and standards such as PCI DSS and NIST 800-53. Building controls that account for service relationships and their dependencies is time-consuming and expensive. Sometimes customers restrict engineering access to AWS services and features until their cloud architects identify risks and implement their own controls. To make that easier, today we are launching comprehensive controls management in AWS Control Tower. You can use it to apply managed preventative, detective, and proactive controls to accounts and…

New – AWS Marketplace for Containers Now Supports Direct Deployment to Amazon EKS Clusters
Today we are announcing the extension of the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) add-ons deployment experience to include software from AWS Marketplace for Containers. Amazon EKS add-ons allow you to consistently ensure that your EKS clusters are secure and stable and reduce the amount of work that you need to do in order to install, configure, and update Kubernetes software. This new launch makes it easier for you to find third-party Kubernetes operation software from the Amazon EKS console and deploy it to your EKS clusters using the same commands used to deploy EKS add-ons. Amazon EKS customers can now find and deploy third-party operational software to their EKS clusters through the EKS console or using command-line interface (CLI), eksctl,…
Top Announcements of AWS re:Invent 2022
AWS VP and Chief Evangelist Jeff Barr, plus a select group of AWS Developer Advocate colleagues, have personally chosen their picks for some of the most impactful and exciting product and service launches to debut at AWS re:Invent 2022.

New – Amazon RDS Optimized Reads and Optimized Writes
Way back in 2009 I wrote Introducing Amazon RDS – The Amazon Relational Database Service and told you that: RDS makes it easier for you to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. You get direct database access without worrying about infrastructure provisioning, software maintenance, or common database management tasks. Since that launch we have continued to do our best to help you to avoid all of those items, while also working to make RDS ever-more cost effective. For example, we recently launched Graviton2 DB Instances that deliver up to 52% better price/performance and a new Multi-AZ Deployment Option that delivers up to 33% better price/performance along with 2x faster transaction commit latency. Today I would…
