Announcing the LocalStack for AWS 4.14 Release

LocalStack for AWS 4.14 introduces a range of enhancements aimed at improving AWS compatibility and user experience, including a new Resource Groups Tagging API provider that offers native integrations with multiple AWS services, replacing the previous Moto-based implementation. This release supports KRaft clusters for Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK), facilitating Kafka deployments without ZooKeeper dependencies, and switches Hive to use Glue as its default metastore, enhancing integration with Athena and improving big data workflows. Enhancements extend to EKS with updated Kubernetes versions and IMDS integration, as well as CloudFormation with support for DeletionPolicy and UpdateReplacePolicy attributes, among other improvements. Additionally, the Step Functions provider, S3, Route 53, ECS, ElastiCache, and RDS have received targeted updates, while the LocalStack CLI has been streamlined to run only inside containers. Overall, LocalStack for AWS 4.14 aims to enhance AWS parity and streamline cloud application development.
