We are now well seated by 2025, but many people still catch up with all the exciting new editions and announcements that came out of Re: Invent last year. At the beginning of the year, the Hudreds of Re: Inventory Recapsing around the world, including personal official AWS events with several songs to help you discover and dive deeper into the sessions you care, as well as community and virtual events.

Last month I was lucky to be a co -owner for AWS EMEA Re: Invent Re: Cap, who was almost four -hour live stream with a demos expert, seating on the blackboard and the living Q&A. The good news is that you can now on request! We had a great team and thousands of people enjoyed learning through virtual experience. I recommend to check or share it with colleagues who were unable to wait for Re: inventive Re: Cap events.

The Korean team also did an amazing job that hosted its own virtual Re: Invent Re: Cap event and is now also available on request. So if you speak Korean, I recommend that you check it.

If you are more of a reader, then we have treatment for you. You can download the full official Re: inventive Re: Cap Deck with all images covering editions in all areas using community.As! While there, you can also check all the upcoming Re: Inventory Re: Cap Community Events left all over the world to keep waiting for one of those in your area.

But as we know, new editions, announcements and updates will stop you at Re: Invent. There are even more of them every week, so we have this weekly Roundup series that you can read every Monday to get the most important AWS data from the previous week.

So here’s what captivated me last week.

Starting AWS last week
If you use the AWS step features, you may be interested in:

Amazon Q Developer also got several updates:

Here are several other editions that captivated me from a number of other AWS services this week:

AWS Cloudformation is a refractoring of the magazine – now you can divide your cloud reservoirs, move sources from one magazine to another and change the logical name of resources in the Saturday magazine. This adds a lot of flexibility, allowing you to keep up with changes in your organization and architectures, such as streamlining the management of the life cycle for existing pile, keeping a step with the names of changes to the Convention and other boxes. You can refract the stacks using the AWS (CLI) or AWS SDK command line.

The AWS Config now supports 4 new types of editions – AWS Config is great for resource monitoring in AWS and help you to match your companies and security principles and compliance requirements. It now has four new types of resources that allow you to monitor the Amazon VPC public access settings, all exceptions made within these settings, and also monitor the S3 Express One Between these settings, and directory bucket settings.

Automated Restoring Microsoft SQL to EC2 Instan CES with VSS – now you can use a new feature called Shadow Coaches (VSS) to back up the Microsoft SQL server databases to Amazon Elastic block store (EBS). You can then use the Systems Manager Automation Runbook to set your preference recovery time and automatically restore the EBS database based on the EBS image without promoting any downtime.

Be sure to see what’s new with the AWS Page.

Another update
The upcoming changes at the global AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) – to help improve the durability and performance of your applications, make changes to the global AWS STS end points (https://sts.amazonows.com), without customers without negotiations. Since the beginning of 2025, requests for the Global STS end point will be automatically submitted in the same region as your AWS workload. If your request is calling sts.amazonows.com From the US region in the West (Oregon), your calls will be reported locally in the US region in the West (Oregon) instead of being operated by the US East (N. Virginia). These changes will be published in the coming week and we are gradually introducing it to AWS regions that are equipped by default by the middle of 2025.

Looking for some reading recommendations? At the beginning of each year, Dr. Werner VP and CTO Amazon List of recommended books that they believe should be paid to attention. This year’s list is the appearance -under my opinion is not good!
