AWS Client VPN now supports CLI, administration controls, and faster connections - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Client VPN introduces a rebuilt AWS VPN Client v6.0.x which offers new features like command-line interface (CLI) support, enterprise administrative controls, and faster connection establishment time, making it easier you to automate VPN connectivity and centralize device management across your organization. The AWS VPN Client CLI provides full feature parity with the GUI. You can now script VPN connections into your automation workflows and infrastructure-as-code deployments. Previously, integrating VPN connectivity into automated environments required third-party tooling or manual intervention. This feature eliminates that by supporting background CLI operations. Previously, you had to distribute VPN profiles among all users in your organization, which could be managed by any user without permissions. Now, with administration controls on AWS client, you can centralize VPN policy enforcement by scoping profiles to specific users, manage global profiles available to all users on ...

Amazon Quick now supports approval policies for sharing - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Quick now offers approval policies, giving administrators governance controls over how assets are shared within their organization. With approval policies, administrators can require designated approvers to review and approve share requests before access is granted, helping organizations ensure that sharing of sensitive assets is deliberate, compliant, and auditable. Administrators can create approval policies scoped to specific asset types, including knowledge bases, spaces, and custom chat agents. When a user submits a share request for an asset covered by a policy, it is routed to the assigned approver group for review. Approvers can evaluate the asset directly before approving or denying the request, and all workflow events are captured in AWS CloudTrail for full auditability. For custom chat agents, approvers can review and act on the entire dependency package in a single request. This feature is available for Professional and Enterprise plans, in all AWS Regions where ...

Amazon Quick now supports per-user resource limits - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Quick now enables administrators to set per-user limits on index storage and agent hours, giving them direct control over subscription costs. With limits management, administrators can create limit profiles that cap per-user consumption, helping prevent unexpected overage charges and ensuring subscription entitlements are used efficiently across their organization. For example, an organization deploying Quick enterprise-wide to thousands of users can set account-level limit profiles to establish cost-predictable baselines, then assign higher limits to specific roles that require more agent hours. Administrators can create and assign limit profiles at the user, role, or account level, with a priority hierarchy that ensures the right users get the right capacity. When a user reaches their limit, new consumption is blocked while existing content is preserved. This feature is available for Professional and Enterprise plans, in all AWS Regions where Amazon Quick agentic capabilit...

AWS IAM now provides role manager to set up IAM roles automatically - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Today, AWS announces the general availability of role manager, a capability in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) that automatically sets up the IAM roles your AWS services need. When you set up a supported service in the console, role manager creates a default role on your behalf, or reuses one that already exists in your account if it already matches the required permissions. You can enable or disable role manager at any time, as well as inspect the AWS-managed templates that role manager deploys on your behalf. Role manager supports 6 AWS service consoles at launch, including AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge. For example, when you create an AWS Lambda function, role manager applies the AWS-managed template for that workflow. Roles created via role manager appear in the IAM console as standard IAM roles that you fully control, and you can identify the ones role manager created. When you are ready to tighten permissions, you can disable role manager and use IAM Access Analyze...

Amazon Quick now supports data loss prevention with Microsoft Purview - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Quick now integrates with Microsoft Purview to enforce data loss prevention (DLP) policies across your Quick environment. Organizations need to ensure that sensitive files aren't shared outside approved channels. With this integration, IT administrators and security teams can apply their existing Purview sensitivity labels to automatically control how files are handled in Quick capabilities such as chat, spaces, and knowledge bases. Administrators can configure enforcement actions (block, warn, or allow) for each sensitivity label, giving organizations granular control over sensitive file sharing across Quick. For example, a financial services company can block files labeled "Highly Confidential" from being uploaded to shared spaces while allowing "Internal" files with a warning notification. With this integration, customers can extend their existing Microsoft Purview governance policies into Quick without additional tools. This feature is available i...

[MS] The little-known winstart.bat batch file - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Reader Otul Osan wants to know what the use case for C:\ WINDOWS\ WINSTART.BAT was, compared to C:\ AUTOEXEC.BAT and when exactly during system startup it launches. In Windows 95, you could create a winstart.bat file in your Windows directory. During startup, the virtual machine manager initializes and creates the so-called "System virtual machine" (the "System VM"), which is the virtual machine that all Windows programs run in. But before running the user-mode kernel in that virtual machine, the virtual machine manager runs the winstart.bat batch file if it exists. In pictures: First, we boot up MS-DOS and the command prompt. (Note: All diagrams omit lots of details not relevant to the discussion and are not to scale.) Stuff (unused) MS-DOS The box labeled "Stuff" is a catch-all for random things that go at low addresses, like the interrupt vector table and the BIOS data area. Next, command.com runs autoexec.bat , which might install so...
