Community Release

The Community release features new enhancements and additions to support our Community users.

New features and improvements in the S3 provider

We have implemented new operations in the S3 provider, improved support for the S3 Lifecycle & Object Retention, and implemented 2 new notifications events.

The CRUD implementations (Get/Put/Delete/List) for the following resources have been implemented:

  • BucketIntelligentTiering
  • BucketAnalytics
  • BucketInventory

The support for the following S3 Notifications events have been added as well:

  • ObjectRestore:Post
  • ObjectRestore:Completed

The support for S3 Lifecycle Expiration has been added, which will now return the Expiration header if a BucketLifecycleConfiguration is configured and a rule matches the object. The support for Object Retention in GOVERNANCE mode is also available now in the S3 provider.

Support for Destinations in CloudWatch Logs

The CRUD implementation support for Destinations in the CloudWatch Logs have been added:

  • GetDestination
  • PutDestination
  • DeleteDestination
  • DescribeDestinations
  • PutDestinationPolicy

Enhanced support for encryption context in the KMS APIs

The KMS provider now supports encryption context in the following APIs:

  • GenerateDataKeyWithoutPlaintext
  • GenerateDataKey
  • GenerateDataKeyPairWithoutPlaintext
  • GenerateDataKeyPair

Multi-Account & Cross-Account support

The Multi-Account & Cross-Account support is now available for:

  • S3 buckets are now accessible across accounts (GetObject PutObject ListObjects).
  • S3 buckets now have a cross-account namespace i.e. a bucket with the same name cannot be created in two different accounts.
  • Opensearch and Elasticsearch resources can now be created in non-default account.

Pro Release

The Pro release features a lot of new enhancements and additions to support our licensed users:

Initial support for EMR Serverless

We have recently released EMR Serverless with LocalStack. With the current implementation, you can now create applications and job runs, to run your Spark/PySpark jobs locally. You can check out the following to get started quickly:

New Cloud Pods client

We have shipped a new Cloud Pods client leveraging LocalStack container’s APIs and storing Cloud Pod’s artifacts inside the container itself. This client becomes the default provider from v3.0. You can activate the client with the ACTIVATE_NEW_POD_CLIENT flag.

Live Policy Streams

You can now use Live policy streams during your LocalStack usage to see the IAM policies generated for your API calls. Use localstack aws iam stream to debug and generate IAM policies. Users can compare this to the actual policies, if there are some, or to use it as their policy without the hassle to write it themselves.

  • Support for global clusters has been added to RDS.
