– (aws) Update to the latest AWS SDK
– (aws) ASG Lifecycle Hooks
– (aws) Instance termination lifecycle agent; early-notifies Eureka of termination events

  With the change to whitelist cors requests to a specified regex, anyone relying on the open cors policy will be impacted (if you have developed a separate browser based webapp that uses the spinnaker api, and you have authentication enabled you will need to whitelist the host domain for that webapp to propagate the authentication for API requests)
