Additional Guardrail to block creation of account-level AWS IAM Identity Center instances

A new Guardrail has been added under the AWS IAM Identity Center header titled Block creation of account-level instances for IAM Identity Center.

This Guardrail will prevent member AWS accounts for creating any account-level instances of IAM Identity Center, ensuring that only a centrally managed IAM Identity Centre exists within the AWS management account.

To enable this visit the configurable service page Configurable Guardrails.

Users of Workloads can now search the list of deployed Workloads by name, including using partial name matches. For example, searching for "myapp" will return results for "myapp" and "myapplication".

Previously the name search worked by filtering results client-side. This search capability is now performed server-side which allows searching much larger sets of results.

Configuration options have been added to the AWS Accounts Foundation Services page to allow you to fine-tune security protections for all Stax-managed AWS Accounts.

A new toggle to require Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) has been added. IMDSv2 compliance is included in the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark.

Before enabling this protection please ensure that your AWS environment is compatible with IMDSv2

This can be further enforced by applying the two Guardrails:

  • Block changes to the EC2 Instance Metadata Service Defaults
  • Block optional as a value for IDMS for EC2 Instance Run and Modify

For more information, refer to the documentation on Configure AWS Accounts.

Stax now supports updating AWS account names

Using the Stax Console, API, or SDK, you can now update the AWS Account name of Stax-managed AWS accounts. A new field will display the AWS Account name for a Stax-managed AWS account when viewing, onboarding or updating a Stax-managed account.

When a new Stax-managed AWS account is provisioned, Stax will name this AWS Account the same as the provided Stax name. When a new Stax-managed AWS account is onboarded through discovery the additional AWS Account name field allows you to rename the AWS Account at the same time as it becomes Stax-managed.

See Edit a Stax-Managed AWS Account for more information and to get started.
