Release Notes

5.11.0 (2023-10-05)

What's new?

  • We've updated the runtime of the lambda functions to Node 18. You wouldn't notice any difference and things will continue to work smoothly and consistently as before.

  • Resource's metadata will now also include createdBy details in Turbot CMDB.

  • Users can now perform quick actions on resources to remediate cloud configuration issues or skip Turbot alarms for issues that they want to come back to later. To get started, click on the Actions button, which will reveal a dropdown menu with available actions, and select one. See Quick Actions for more information.

5.10.0 (2022-01-07)

What's new?

  • AWS/CloudFormation/Admin AWS/CloudFormation/Metadata AWS/CloudFormation/Operator now include permissions for Resource, Type and Publisher.

5.9.0 (2021-07-19)

What's new?

  • AWS/CloudFormation/Metadata now includes template validation permissions.
  • We've improved the details tables in the Tags controls to be more helpful, especially when a resource's tags are not set correctly as expected. Previously, to understand why the Tags controls were in an Alarm state, you would need to find and read the control's process logs. This felt like too much work for a simple task, so now these details are visible directly from the control page.

5.8.0 (2021-06-24)

What's new?

  • AWS/CloudFormation/Admin now includes record handler progress and type permissions.

5.7.1 (2021-04-21)

Bug fixes

  • The AWS > CloudFormation > Stack > Discovery control would fail to upsert all the stacks in a region if the size of the Discovery API response was more than 1 MB, due to lack of paging support. This is now fixed.

5.7.0 (2021-03-08)

What's new?

  • We've improved the state reasons and details tables in various Approved and Active controls to be more helpful, especially when a resource is unapproved or inactive. Previously, to understand why one of these controls is in Alarm state, you would need to find and read the control's process logs. This felt like too much work for a simple task, so now these details are visible directly from the control page.

5.6.1 (2020-12-18)

Bug fixes

  • Controls run faster now when in the tbd and skipped states thanks to the new Turbot Precheck feature (not to be confused with TSA PreCheck). With Turbot Precheck, controls avoid running GraphQL input queries when in tbd and skipped, resulting in faster and lighter control runs.

5.6.0 (2020-12-10)

What's new?

  • We've improved our event handling configuration and now filter which AWS events Turbot listens for based on resources' CMDB policies. If a resource's CMDB policy is not set to Enforce: Enabled, the EventBridge rules will be configured to not send any events for that resource. This will greatly reduce the number of unnecessary events that Turbot listens for and handles today.

Policy Types

Added

  • AWS > Turbot > Event Handlers > Events > Rules > Custom Event Patterns > @turbot/aws-cloudformation

Removed

  • AWS > Turbot > Event Handlers > Events > Rules > Event Sources > @turbot/aws-cloudformation

5.5.1 (2020-09-18)

Bug fixes

  • We've made some improvements to our real-time event handling that reduces the risk of creating resources in CMDB with malformed AKAs. There's no noticeable difference, but things should run more reliably now.

5.5.0 (2020-09-01)

What's new?

  • Discovery controls now have their own control category, CMDB > Discovery, to allow for easier filtering separately from other CMDB controls.
  • We've renamed the service's default regions policy from Regions [Default] to Regions to be consistent with our other regions policies.

5.4.1 (2020-08-11)

Bug fixes

  • In various Active controls, we were outputting log messages that did not properly show how many days were left until we'd delete the inactive resources (we were still deleting them after the correct number of days). These log messages have been fixed and now contain the correct number of days.

5.4.0 (2020-08-07)

Control Types

Added

  • AWS > CloudFormation > Stack > Tags
  • AWS > CloudFormation > StackSet > Tags

Policy Types

Added

  • AWS > CloudFormation > StackSet > Tags
  • AWS > CloudFormation > StackSet > Tags > Template

Action Types

Added

  • AWS > CloudFormation > Stack > Update Tags
  • AWS > CloudFormation > StackSet > Update Tags

5.3.1 (2020-07-22)

Bug fixes

  • AWS/CloudFormation/Admin now includes stack instance and stack set management permissions.

5.3.0 (2020-07-08)

What's new?

  • Updated AWS > CloudFormation > StackSet > Regions policy to now include af-south-1, ap-east-1, eu-north-1, eu-south-1, me-south-1, us-gov-west-1. Regions like cn-north-1 and cn-northwest-1 were removed from the policy, since stacksets cannot be created in AWS China region.

Bug fixes

  • Updated various resource configurations to provide better compatibility with AWS China regions.

5.2.1 (2020-06-17)

Bug fixes

  • Previously, the AWS > CloudFormation > StackSet > Discovery control was creating CMDB entries for active and deleted stack sets. Storing deleted stack sets would result in errors when attempting to create a CMDB entry for a new stack set that shared a name with a deleted stack set. Now only active stack sets are created in CMDB and for any remaining deleted stack sets in CMDB, these will automatically be deleted.

5.2.0 (2020-05-27)

What's new?

  • Updated AWS > CloudFormation > Regions policy default value to now include af-south-1, ap-east-1, eu-south-1, me-south-1.

Bug fixes

  • Links to documentation in the descriptions for several controls and policies were broken. These links have now been fixed.
