<div><p> Dear Customer, <br /> Our records indicate you have previously provided a US tax exemption certificate to AWS. Starting 15 April 2024, all US tax exemption certificates for AWS accounts will only be accepted when they are uploaded via the AWS Console. After this date, documents uploaded on Amazon Tax Exemption Program (ATEP) will only be accepted for Amazon retail accounts and will no longer be accepted for enrollment for AWS. When uploading an exemption after 15 April 2024 for AWS services, please upload a US tax exemption form to AWS via the AWS Console by following instructions <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/manage-account…"> here </a> . <br />
<br />
<strong> There is no required action for existing exemptions. If you have a current active exemption, it will remain active until it expires (if applicable). </strong>
<br />
<br /> Thanks, <br /> Amazon Web Services

Hello,
We would like to inform you about upcoming changes to 3 AWS Trusted Advisor checks that will take effect on April 25, 2024. These updates are designed to provide more accurate and relevant recommendations based on the latest best practices and service enhancements.
- “IAM Use” (ID: ZXCkfM1nI3) is being phased out due to changes in its underlying best practices.
- “Security Groups - Specific Ports Unrestricted” (ID: HCP4007jGY) and “Security Groups - Unrestricted Access” (ID: 1iG5NDGVre) are being replaced as they did not account for customer-managed prefix lists being used to grant access in security groups.
If you have AWS Security Hub enabled, we recommend using the updated checks “Security groups should only allow unrestricted incoming traffic for authorized ports” (TA Check ID: Hs4Ma3G178, Security Hub Control ID: EC2.18) and “Security groups should not allow unrestricted access to ports with high risk” (TA Check ID: Hs4Ma3G204, Security Hub Control ID: EC2.19). These checks account for prefix lists and provide comprehensive security group monitoring.
To view these AWS Security Hub controls (EC2.18 and EC2.19) in Trusted Advisor, you must have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan. You can find your support plan from the AWS Support Center [1]. For more information, see Compare AWS Support plans [2].
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes, please don’t hesitate to contact AWS support [1].
