More updates worth your attention
More AWS announcements this month — summarised in under 30 seconds each.
AWS Step Functions Distributed Map
Step Functions now supports distributed map at greater scale, allowing parallel processing of millions of items without hitting execution limits.
Amazon OpenSearch Serverless GA
OpenSearch Serverless removes cluster management entirely, auto-scaling compute and storage based on query and ingestion load.
AWS PrivateLink for Bedrock
Bedrock now supports PrivateLink, letting enterprises call foundation models without traffic ever touching the public internet.
CloudWatch Application Signals GA
Application Signals brings automatic APM-style tracing and SLO tracking to CloudWatch without instrumenting every service manually.
IAM Access Analyzer Unused Access
Access Analyzer now flags unused IAM permissions automatically, helping teams tighten least-privilege policies without manual audits.
EventBridge Pipes Enhancements
EventBridge Pipes added new filtering and enrichment options, reducing the need for custom Lambda glue code between event sources.
THIS MONTH'S TIPS
Practical, actionable advice from the Avertech cloud team.
Audit IAM permissions with Access Analyzer
Run IAM Access Analyzer's unused-access findings monthly. Most accounts accumulate over-permissioned roles over time — this catches them before they become a security liability.
Move eligible workloads to OpenSearch Serverless
If your OpenSearch clusters have unpredictable or bursty traffic, serverless eliminates the need to provision for peak load, often cutting costs by 30-40%.
Use PrivateLink for any Bedrock production traffic
For compliance-sensitive workloads, route Bedrock calls through PrivateLink rather than public endpoints — it's a small setup cost for a meaningful security posture improvement.
