Today, AWS announces the general availability of the Invoice Summary API. This allows you to retrieve your AWS invoice summary details programmatically via SDK. You can retrieve multiple invoice summary details by making a single API call that accepts input parameters like AWS Account ID, AWS Invoice ID, billing period, or a date range as input.

The output of the Invoice Summary API will include data elements like Invoice Amount in base currency and tax currency, purchase order number and other meta data that can be found in this link. You can integrate the API to your accounts payable systems to automate invoice processing and improve efficiency. 

Invoice Summary API is available in all AWS Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.

Amazon EC2 now enables you to automatically delete underlying Amazon EBS snapshots when deregistering Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), allowing you to better manage your storage costs and simplify your AMI cleanup workflow.

Previously, when deregistering an AMI, you had to separately delete its associated EBS snapshots, which required additional steps. This process could lead to abandoned snapshots, resulting in unnecessary storage costs and resource management overhead. Now you can automatically delete EBS snapshots at the time of AMI deregistration.

This capability is available to all customers at no additional costs, and is enabled in all AWS commercial regions including AWS GovCloud (US), AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and in the AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.

You can deregister AMIs from the EC2 Console, CLI, API, or SDK, and learn more in the AMI documentation.

AWS Wickr announces the launch of Wickr File Previews. This new feature empowers organizations to protect sensitive files and lower the risk of data loss, by allowing network administrators to configure a “view-only” mode in the Security Groups section of the AWS Management Console for Wickr. Users within these security groups will be restricted to only viewing the supported files, and will be unable to download them.

AWS Wickr is a security-first messaging and collaboration service with features designed to help keep your communications secure, private, and compliant. AWS Wickr protects one-to-one and group messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and location sharing with end-to-end encryption. Customers have full administrative control over data, which includes addressing information governance polices, configuring ephemeral messaging options, and deleting credentials for lost or stolen devices. You can log internal and external conversations in an AWS Wickr network to a private data store that you manage for data retention and auditing purposes.

AWS Wickr is available in commercial AWS Regions that include US East (N. Virginia), AWS Canada (Central), AWS Asia Pacific (Malaysia, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo), and AWS Europe (London, Frankfurt, Stockholm, and Zurich). It is also available in AWS GovCloud (US-West) as FedRAMP High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 (DoD IL5)-authorized AWS WickrGov.

Today, AWS HealthOmics announces automatic parameter interpolation for Workflow Description Language (WDL) workflows to help streamline the workflow creation process. This new capability automatically identifies and extracts required and optional parameters along with their descriptions directly from WDL workflow definitions, eliminating the need for customers to manually create input parameter templates. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed biological data stores and workflows.

Removing the need to define parameters simplifies and accelerates building and deploying bioinformatics workflows. Customers can now onboard new WDL workflows more rapidly while retaining complete flexibility through optional customization. For organizations with extensive WDL workflow libraries, this feature significantly reduces the time required to migrate or deploy new workflows. Additionally, HealthOmics customers still maintain full control by providing custom input parameter templates when needed to override the automatic interpolation.

Input parameter interpolation for WDL workflows is now supported in all regions where AWS HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Israel (Tel Aviv).

To learn more about automatic parameter interpolation and how to implement WDL workflows, see the AWS HealthOmics documentation.
