  • You can now use Amazon’s Key Management Service (KMS) with Elastic Transcoder. That addition joins S3, EBS and RedShift in supporting the service.
  • AWS Data Pipeline now supports “parameterized templates”, allowing you to quickly launch new job instances after setting the appropriate parameters. Read more here.
  • Australia’s Azure centres are continuing to fill the (rather large) gaps evident at launch. The latest addition? Azure HDInsight, which has also rolled out in China and the Far East.
  • The Azure Automation Script Converter automatically converts PowerShell Scripts into the PowerShell Workflow format. Handy if you’re trying to shift existing PowerShell scripts into the format.

Cloud Patches rounds up new features and services added to major cloud computing platforms each week..
