Keeping your Linux system up to date with the latest operating system and application software patches is one of the most effective ways to strengthen system security. Enterprises sometimes neglect to install the latest security updates because most kernel upgrades and security patches require a system reboot, which means downtime and waiting for reboot cycles. KernelCare from CloudLinux can live patch HAQM EC2 instances based on AWS Graviton2 Arm64 processors.

With the recent launch of HAQM EC2 M6g instances, the new instances powered by AWS Graviton2 Arm-based processors deliver up to 40 percent better price and performance over the x86-based current generation M5 instances. At Rapid7, an AWS Security Competency Partner, thousands of customers use InsightVM scan engine to assess their EC2 instances for vulnerabilities. Learn how to deploy the InsightVM scan engine in an AWS Graviton2-based environment.

Spark is a distributed computing framework that added new features like Pandas UDF by using PyArrow.

AWS Single Sign-On makes it easy for end users to sign into the AWS Console and access applications with a single set of credentials.

Learn how to connect CloudHealth with AWS SSO using SAML 2.0, so your users have a single experience to access both the AWS Console and CloudHealth.

To help everyone visualize COVID-19 data confidently and responsibly, we brought together APN Partners Salesforce, Tableau, and MuleSoft to create a centralized repository of trusted data from open source COVID-19 data providers. Anyone can work with the public data, blend it with their own data, or subscribe to the source datasets directly through AWS Data Exchange, and then use HAQM Redshift together with Tableau to better understand the impact on their organization.
