Agents can now set their next status while still on an active contact in Amazon Connect - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Agents in Amazon Connect can now set their next status while still on a contact, enabling seamless transition from work to offline or lunch. This enables agents to indicate that they are about to go to lunch, and don’t want to be routed new contacts, while finishing up ongoing work. Once the agent has wrapped up any after contact work for their ongoing contacts, they will be automatically transitioned to the status they had selected.  Post Updated on July 30, 2021 at 10:51PM

AWS Control Tower announces improvements to guardrail naming and descriptions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Control Tower guardrail naming and descriptions have been revised to better reflect the guardrail policy intention. The revised names and descriptions will help users more intuitively understand how guardrails enhance control of their accounts. For example, names of detective guardrails were modified from “Disallow” to “Detect” since the detective guardrail itself does not enforce a specific action but detects policy violations and provides alerts through the dashboard. Guardrail behavior, guidance, and implementation remains unchanged. Post Updated on July 30, 2021 at 07:58PM

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now lets you control which instances to terminate on scale-in - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now lets you control which instances to terminate during a scale-in event by allowing you to provide a custom function that selects which instances to terminate. Previously, you could use one of the predefined termination policies to determine which instances Auto Scaling would terminate.

Now, you can provide a custom Lambda function that indicates which instances are safe to terminate on scale in. This feature is useful for stateful applications where you want to control which instances Auto Scaling terminates so that your application is not disrupted on scale in.

AWS schedules infrequent events, such as a reboot, stop, or termination, for EC2 instances when it detects irreparable failure of the underlying host or when it must perform tasks such as maintaining the underlying host. With the flexibility to specify event windows, customers can set up Scheduled Events for their EC2 instances to occur during off-peak periods. Customers can also align these time windows with their internal maintenance schedules. Software vendors can leverage this capability to customize time windows for scheduled events based on their customers’ preferences. Post Updated on July 15, 2021 at 11:56PM
