Amazon DataSync now supports configuration updates for all supported storage locations, including Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, Amazon FSx for Lustre, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. With this enhancement, you can update storage locations directly, removing the need to delete and create new locations in order to update key parameters.
 

Amazon EC2 introduces Allowed AMIs, a new account-wide setting that enables you to limit the discovery and use of Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) within your Amazon Web Services accounts. You can now simply specify the AMI owner accounts or AMI owner aliases permitted within your account, and only AMIs from these owners will be visible and available to you to launch EC2 instances.  

Amazon DynamoDB now supports a configurable period for point-in-time-recovery (PITR). You can specify the duration for data recoverability using PITR on a per-table basis, ranging from 1 to 35 days.  

Amazon Secrets Manager now supports a single API call to identify and retrieve a group of secrets for your application. The new API, BatchGetSecretValue, offers greater simplicity to common developer workflows where you need to bring multiple secrets into your application. With this feature, you no longer have to make iterative calls to retrieve one secret at a time or account for partial failures when pulling multiple secrets, enhancing the overall efficiency.
