Spatial Data Management on AWS (SDMA) expanded features to include custom transformation connectors, which enable execution of complex processing tasks such as format conversion, 3D rendering, image tiling, or metadata extraction. Jobs use Open Job Description templates submitted to AWS Deadline Cloud, running in isolated environments before ingesting results back into the governed asset repository.
Additionally, the SDMA desktop client was improved by bundling dependencies into a single installer, simplifying setup by removing the need for separate CLI installations. These updates enhance the automation, chaining, and extensibility of spatial data pipelines and are available in multiple regions including Asia Pacific, Europe, and the US.
