You can now use Stax to provision your Direct Connect resources and manage the associations of your Stax Networks to a Direct Connect connection.

Stax Networks supports Hosted and Dedicated Direct Connect connections. It enables you to create Private or Transit virtual interfaces depending on your network requirements.

You can create a Transit virtual interface to enable Direct Connect connectivity to your entire Stax Networking Hub or a Private virtual interface to connect individual VPCs.

For more details about Stax Networks and Direct Connect, check out the docs.

To further ensure the security of your AWS accounts Stax will begin forwarding CloudTrail events for Stax resources within your AWS accounts to Stax infrastructure.

In a future release of Stax, these events will be used to pre-emptively raise tickets for the Stax team to action.

• Added: New CloudWatch Alarms based on CloudWatch Metrics for the CloudTrail CloudWatch Log Group within each AWS account

• Added: New Stax role to perform FilterLog on the CloudTrail CloudWatch Log Group within each AWS account

• Added: New SNS Topic and Lambda Function to forward these events to Stax infrastructure within the foundation Logging AWS account

If you have any questions regarding this change, please raise a support case with your enquiry.

To improve the user experience when creating Stax Account Types, two improvements have been introduced.

• Added: Reuse of old Account Type names. Previously, Stax Account Type names could not be reused after an Account Type is deleted. This behavior has been changed to permit name reuse.

• Fixed: Improved error handling for Account Type creation. In the event that an attempt was made to create an Account Type with the same name as an existing Account Type, the operation would fail silently with no error. An error will now be displayed.

Stax's Cost & Compliance Real-Time Rule Alerts functionality now supports filtering to allow you to receive targeted notifications for compliance events.

You can use this feature for scenarios where certain recipients should receive specific notifications to their use case:

• Receive only high-severity Rule notifications to a shared inbox for processing

• Receive alerts only when the S3 Buckets should not be Publicly Open Rule is broken

As part of Stax Networks, Gateway VPC Endpoints attached to your Transit VPC can now be modified from your Transit VPC's details drawer.

For more information, see Edit Your Transit VPC within the Manage Networking Hubs documentation.

Stax has released the Stax Foundation Compliance Rule Bundle which assesses the compliance of your AWS accounts against enterprise-grade security controls. The Rule Bundle is a collection of AWS Well-Architected, CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and Stax best-practice security controls, which will help you to track the safety and security of your accounts.

Head to the Stax Foundation Compliance Rule Bundle on the Rules page within the Stax Console to check it out.

Stax has partnered with AWS to provide Stax customers with a Stax Events AWS EventBridge integration.

Stax Events published to AWS EventBridge will allow customers to monitor and automate actions within their Stax-managed AWS accounts. Customers will be able to receive events about Stax usage, as well as, priority AWS events enriched with contextual Stax information. Leveraging the power of AWS serverless services, such as, AWS Lambda or AWS Step Functions will allow for additional actions to be taken as a result of these events.

In addition to publishing these events to AWS EventBridge, events will also be stored in your logging account's StaxTrail S3 bucket. These new event details will be available at the following path within the S3 bucket: StaxTrail/year/month/day/StaxEventId.gz.

For more details about Stax Events, check out the docs.

New DNS functionality within Stax Networks allows you to connect your on-premises infrastructure with resources in your Stax accounts.
