Here\u2019s an update on recent news from the AWS blog. These are our picks for the most important recent developments. This week, AWS Identity and Access Management unveils a new control, Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports January 2020 Oracle Patch Set Updates (PSU) and Release Updates (RU), and Amazon RDS on VMware can now report disconnected status. It\u2019s a quick read, and you can always click on the links below for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AWS Identity and Access Management<\/strong>&nbsp;(IAM) introduced a new control for requests that AWS services make on your behalf. For example, using the new control, you can grant your IAM principals the ability to launch Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances (but only through AWS CloudFormation) without granting direct access to EC2. Read more&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/about-aws\/whats-new\/2020\/02\/aws-identity-and-access-management-iam-introduces-a-new-control-for-requests-that-aws-services-make-on-your-behalf\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Why it matters<\/em>: A primary governance and security requirement in the cloud is controlling access to the resources within the AWS account. This enhancement furthers the ability to control who has access to data sources, and who can create, remove or modify resources, as well as limit access to the IAM layer within your AWS account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amazon RDS for Oracle<\/strong>&nbsp;now supports the January 2020 Patch Set Updates (PSU) for Oracle Database 11.2 and 12.1, and January 2020 Release Update (RU) for Oracle Database 12.2, 18c and 19c.

With these patch releases, customers can ensure their RDS for Oracle instances are running with the latest functional, technical and security updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amazon RDS on VMware<\/strong>&nbsp;is enhancing custom AZ status to include a new state: disconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new status indicates that the connection between the AWS region and a custom AZ is disrupted.
