What a week it’s been for AWS customers. Just in the last 5 days we already seen a huge number of product releases including:
AWS Sumerian: With Sumerian, you can construct an interactive 3D scene without any programming experience, test it in the browser, and publish it as a website that is immediately available to users. Product details can be found https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/announcing-amazon-sumerian-preview/
Amazon MQ:Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud. Amazon MQ works with your existing applications and services without the need to manage, operate, or maintain your own messaging system. See Jeff’s blog post here https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-mq-managed-message-broker-service-for-activemq/
Amazon EC2 Bare Metal Instances:Amazon EC2 Bare Metal instances provide your applications with direct access to the processor and memory of the underlying server. These instances are ideal for workloads that require access to hardware feature sets (such as Intel VT-x), or for applications that need to run in non-virtualized environments for licensing or support requirements.

PrivateLink for Customers/Partners: We announced that customers can now use AWS PrivateLink to access third party SaaS applications from their Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without exposing their VPC to the public Internet. Customers can also use AWS PrivateLink to connect services across different accounts and VPCs within their own organizations, significantly simplifying their internal network architecture. See details https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/aws-privatelink-now-available-for-customer-and-partner-services/ and kloud will be blogging about this much more in the coming weeks
Amazon GuardDuty:Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that gives you a more accurate and easy way to continuously monitor and protect your AWS accounts and workloads. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, GuardDuty begins analyzing AWS data across all your AWS accounts integrated with threat intelligence feeds, anomaly detection, and machine learning for more actionable threat detection in an easy to use, pay as you go cloud security service. Again, Jeff’s done a great article https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-guardduty-continuous-security-monitoring-threat-detection/
