AWS – AWS IoT Device Management adds enhancements to Software Package Catalog and Jobs

Today, AWS announces general availability of new capabilities and usability improvements for the AWS IoT Device Management Software Package Catalog (SPC) and AWS IoT Device Management Jobs. With these new capabilities, you can now:

Associate and store industry-standard Software Bill of Material (SBOM) files with package versions to gain granular insights into your software’s composition, enabling you to proactively identify and mitigate of potential security risks.
Simplify your version deployment workflows through sample deployment instruction sets, referred as recipes.
Utilize the new package and version placeholders in Job documents (recipe) to specify destination version attributes, eliminating the need to manually input those attributes for every single package version update.
Store artifacts associated with each software version in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and reference their locations within the SPC for streamlined version deployments.
Set desired package versions as ‘default’ and reference them in a Job document to quickly retrieve associated metadata and deployment instructions during version deployment.
Specify a S3 pre-signed URL placeholder with bucket name and unique object key in a Job document to securely retrieve or upload artifacts from a specific location.
View Job document and metadata before and after parameter substitution to gain visibility into the deployment.

The new features are available in all AWS Regions where AWS IoT Device Management is offered. Visit AWS public documentations to learn more about Software Package Catalog and Jobs features. To get started with these new features, log in to the AWS IoT Management Console or use the CLI.
