AWS Launch Wizard now supports resource and tag-based access controls

AWS Launch Wizard now offers resource and tag-based access controls for improved governance and security. With today’s launch, you can add tags to your AWS Launch Wizard resources and define AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to specify fine-grained permissions based on resource IDs and tags. Similarly, for resource-level access controls, you can configure IAM policies through Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) or wildcards, and specify the users, roles and actions that are permitted on the resources.

AWS Launch Wizard offers a guided way of sizing, configuring, and deploying AWS resources for third party applications, such as Microsoft SQL Server Always On and HANA based SAP systems, without the need to manually identify and provision individual AWS resources.

AWS Launch Wizard is available in 26 Regions including US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, Stockholm and Milan), South America (Sao Paulo), US West (N. California, Oregon), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Singapore, and Sydney), Middle East (Bahrain, UAE), Africa (Cape Town), China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet), and China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD). AWS Launch Wizard is also available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West, US-East) Regions.
