AWS Control Tower  now helps reduce redundant AWS Config configuration items by limiting recording of global resources to home Regions  only. Previously, AWS Control Tower configured AWS Config to record global resources in all Regions. Since global resources are not tied to a specific AWS Region, changes to global resources are identical across Regions. Limiting recording for global resources (such as IAM users, groups, roles, and customer managed polices) means redundant copies of global resource changes are no longer stored in every Region. This update brings resource recording into conformance with AWS Config best practices . A full list of global resources is available in AWS Config documentation .

Amazon SageMaker  model training now supports heterogeneous clusters, which enables launching training jobs that use multiple instance types in a single job. This new capability can improve your training cost by running different parts of the model training on the most suitable instance type. For example, we recently trained a ResNet-50 computer vision model on a heterogeneous cluster with ml.g5.xl and ml.c5n.2xl instances. This training job resulted in 13% lower cost than training the same model on a cluster with only ml.g5.xl instances with the same accuracy. Post Updated on July 08, 2022 at 11:15PM

Amazon OpenSearch Service now allows users to view default quota and applied quota information through Service Quotas . Quotas, also referred to as limits in AWS services, are the maximum values for the resources, actions, and items in your AWS account. Each AWS service defines its quotas and establishes default values for those quotas. Depending on your business needs, you might need to increase your service quota values. Service Quotas enables you to look up your service quotas and to request quota increase. AWS Support might approve, deny, or partially approve your requests. Post Updated on July 06, 2022 at 11:30PM

AWS Security Hub  has released 36 new controls for its Foundational Security Best Practice standard (FSBP)  to enhance your Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). These controls conduct fully-automatic checks against security best practices for AWS Auto Scaling, AWS CloudFormation, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Amazon Elastic File System (EFS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Amazon Kinesis, AWS Network Firewall, Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), and AWS WAF.
