Today, Amazon Quick is announcing cross-account access for Amazon Athena data sources. This launch enables you to query Athena data residing in a different AWS account(s) from your Quick deployment using IAM role chaining, with Athena query costs billed to the account where the data lives.
With this feature, administrators can create an Athena data source in Quick by specifying a RunAsRole in the Quick account and a ConsumerAccountRoleArn in the target account where Athena resources reside. Quick uses a role chaining mechanism first assuming the RunAsRole, then chaining into the consumer account role to execute queries. This launch supports multiple roles per consumer account(s), enabling fine-grained access segregation across teams within a single account.
This feature is now available in all supported Amazon Quick Sight regions here. For more details, read our blog post.
AWS Service Catalog is now available to customers in two additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (New Zealand) and Canada West (Calgary).
AWS Service Catalog enables customers to create, govern, and distribute a catalog of approved Infrastructure as Code (IaC) products for deployment on AWS. Administrators define products using AWS CloudFormation or other IaC tools such as Terraform. A product is a set of AWS resources that can range from a single compute instance to a fully configured multi-tier application. Customers can share portfolios of approved products across AWS accounts and organizational units through AWS Organizations, giving engineers, database administrators, data scientists, and other end-users consistent self-service access to governed AWS resources across their organization.
With AWS Service Catalog, organizations can apply launch and template constraints to govern how products are provisioned, manage product versions as they evolve, and control access by individual, group, or cost center using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). AWS Service Catalog is used by enterprises, system integrators, and managed service providers to organize, govern, and provision resources on AWS at scale.
For more information, please visit the AWS Service Catalog product page and documentation. See the AWS Region Table for complete regional availability.
Amazon Route 53 Global Resolver now lets you add and remove AWS Regions for anycast DNS resolution, giving you flexible control over where your DNS queries are resolved. This allows you to easily expand Global Resolver coverage as your organization grows or adjust regional deployment to meet compliance requirements.
Global Resolver provides anycast DNS resolution for public internet domains and private Route 53 hosted zones from any location, along with DNS query filtering and centralized logging. With this update, you can dynamically adjust which AWS Regions participate in anycast resolution without recreating your Global Resolver configuration.
This capability is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where Route 53 Global Resolver is supported. To get started, see the Route 53 Global Resolver documentation. For regional availability, see the Route 53 Global Resolver Region list. For pricing, see Amazon Route 53 pricing.
Amazon Connect now supports Default Guides for After Contact Work (ACW), enabling contact center administrators to automatically launch a Step-by-Step Guide when an agent enters the ACW state without any manual work.
This capability helps contact centers standardize post-contact workflows and reduce handle time by ensuring agents are automatically guided through required wrap-up tasks, such as logging disposition codes, updating cases, or completing follow-up actions. By eliminating the need for agents to manually navigate to the correct application during ACW, organizations can improve consistency, reduce errors, and accelerate agent productivity across their contact center operations.

Description:
Amazon Redshift JDBC Driver is a Type 4 JDBC driver that provides database connectivity through the standard JDBC application program interfaces (APIs). We identified an issue in Amazon Redshift JDBC Driver versions prior to 2.2.2. Under certain conditions, the driver could load and execute arbitrary classes when processing JDBC connection URL parameters. An actor who can influence the connection URL could potentially execute code in the application context.
Impacted versions: Amazon Redshift JDBC Driver < 2.2.2
