Amazon Glue Interactive Sessions now supports 4 new notebook kernel magics: assume_role, tags, session_type and matplot. These magics are available in Glue Interactive Sessions kernel 1.0 or later. Additionally, Glue Interactive Sessions now supports IAM Conditionals.

Each of these new magics address a unique need: session_type help customer easily change their session type by choosing between Spark, Ray or Streaming; assume_role allows customers to use a different role for starting their sessions; tags help customers better control and monitor their sessions by using Amazon tags ; matplot offers support for visualizations with matplotlib library. 

The new IAM Conditionals support enables customers to set specific conditions and limitations to their sessions. For example: allowing connections only via specific VPC networks or restricting them to use specific subnet and security group.
