AWS Glue is a scalable, serverless tool that helps you to accelerate the development and execution of your data integration and ETL workloads. Today we are launching Glue 4.0, with updated engines, support for additional data formats, Ray support, and a lot more. Before I dive in, just a word about versioning. Unlike most AWS services, where the service team owns and has full control over the APIs, Glue includes a collection of libraries, engines, and tools developed by the open source community. Some of these components do not maintain strict backward compatibility, often in pursuit of efficiency. In order to make sure that changes to the components do not impact your Glue jobs, you must select a particular Glue…

AWS Wickr – A Secure, End-to-End Encrypted Communication Service For Enterprises With Auditing And Regulatory Requirements
I am excited to announce the availability of AWS Wickr, an enterprise communications service with end-to-end encryption, that allows businesses and public sector organizations to communicate more securely, enabling customers to meet auditing and regulatory requirements like e-discovery, legal hold, and FOIA requests. Unlike many enterprise communication tools, Wickr uses end-to-end encryption mechanisms to ensure your messages, files, voice, or video calls are solely accessible to their intended recipients. The flexible administrative controls make it easy for your Wickr administrator to manage the communication channels and retain information to meet regulatory requirements when required. The information retained is stored on the servers you choose and stays entirely under your control. End-to-End Encryption Wickr provides secure communication between two or more…
New for AWS Control Tower – Comprehensive Controls Management (Preview)
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,…
