Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports data capture for inference workloads, enabling customers to record inference request and response payloads for model monitoring, compliance, debugging, and offline analysis. Organizations deploying generative AI and machine learning models on HyperPod need systematic visibility into the inputs flowing into their models and the outputs returned to clients to detect model drift, satisfy regulatory audit requirements, debug production issues, and build ground-truth datasets for fine-tuning. Previously, customers had to either accept limited operational visibility into their inference workloads or build expensive custom logging pipelines outside the HyperPod Inference Operator. With data capture, you can choose to record inference traffic at the SageMaker endpoint, at the load balancer, or at the model pod, depending on the level of visibility you need, and combine these options for layered observability. Captured data is delivered asynchr

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) now supports Apache Airflow version 3.2, the latest major release of the popular open-source workflow orchestration framework. Amazon MWAA is a managed service that lets you run Apache Airflow at scale without managing the underlying infrastructure. This release brings new data-aware scheduling capabilities and developer productivity improvements to teams building and operating data pipelines on AWS. With Apache Airflow 3.2, you can now use asset partitioning to trigger downstream DAGs based on specific slices of data, such as a date-partitioned S3 path, rather than an entire asset, giving data engineering teams more precise control over pipeline execution. This release also expands Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) capabilities with a full audit history view for approvals, HITL support for the AgenticOperator, and synchronous callback support for Deadline Alerts. Additional improvements include Grid View virtualization for faster re

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now enables you to pause service deployments at critical stages during deployment progression and continue deployments when ready. You can use these pause points to introduce manual decision points and interactive controls into your deployments for scenarios such as manual approval workflows, operational checks, integration tests, or custom automation, while continuing to use native Amazon ECS deployment strategies with managed traffic shifting, bake times, fast rollbacks, CloudWatch alarms, and deployment circuit breaker. With this launch, you can configure a new PAUSE deployment lifecycle hook as part of your Amazon ECS service deployment configuration. When a deployment reaches a configured pause point, Amazon ECS pauses deployment progression and emits Amazon EventBridge events that you can use to trigger automation workflows, approval systems, or external validation p

Today, AWS announces the availability of Amazon Inspector in the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region. Amazon Inspector is an automated vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads including Amazon EC2 instances, container images, and AWS Lambda functions for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure across your AWS Organization.  With this expansion, Amazon Inspector extends its security coverage to AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region, designed to help customers automatically discover workloads, conduct continuous vulnerability assessments, and receive actionable security findings. The service is designed to detect newly launched Amazon EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and eligible container images pushed to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and scan them for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure. All accounts new to Amazon Inspector are eligible for a 15-day free trial to evaluate the service and esti

Amazon Managed Grafana now supports dual-stack connectivity, enabling workspaces to communicate over both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Dual-stack mode is available for workspaces running Grafana version 10.4 or later. With dual-stack support, customers can simplify their network stack by eliminating the need to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. Customers migrating to IPv6 can connect to their Grafana workspaces over IPv6 while maintaining IPv4 compatibility, and those not yet on IPv6 can continue using IPv4-only connections. This is especially beneficial as the continued growth of the internet exhausts available IPv4 addresses.  Support for dual-stack connectivity on Amazon Managed Grafana is available in all regions where the service is generally availa

Today, AWS announces the addition of AWS Local Zones to the Region selector in the AWS Management Console, providing a unified experience across AWS global infrastructure. AWS Local Zones now appear alongside AWS Regions in the Console's top navigation, making it easier for customers to quickly navigate to the Console page for managing their resources in AWS Local Zones. Now, when customers select the Local Zones tab in the Region selector, they will see all opted-in AWS Local Zones in one place. Clicking on an AWS Local Zone takes customers directly to its parent Region's Console page to view and manage resources. This capability streamlines navigation for customers operating across multiple AWS Local Zones parented to different AWS Regions. This capability is available across all AWS Local Zones in public AWS Regions. To get started, navigate to the Region selector in the AWS Management Console. For more information, se

AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations are now available in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region. With this expansion, customers in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region can now use zero-ETL integrations to simplify their data pipelines, reduce data movement latency, and accelerate time-to-insight for analytics and machine learning workloads. Zero-ETL integrations offer a set of fully managed integrations by AWS that minimizes the need to build ETL data pipelines for common ingestion and replication use cases. You can use zero-ETL to replicate data from sources such as Amazon DynamoDB, Oracle Database@AWS, self-managed databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL or PostgreSQL), and supported SaaS applications including Salesforce, SAP, Zendesk, and Zoho CRM directly into target analytics data stores without writing or maintaining ETL pipelines. It automatically handles schema mapping, change data capture, and incremental data replication, eliminating the need to build and manage complex data pipel

Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distributions now support IPv6-only instances as origins. This feature enables customers to use IPv6-only instances to deliver content through the Lightsail CDN distributions with low latency and high transfer speeds worldwide. With this launch, customers can run their websites and applications on cost-effective IPv6-only instances while seamlessly serving content to all end users, including those on networks that don't yet support IPv6 connectivity. Previously, only IPv4 and dual-stack instances were supported as origins for Lightsail CDN distributions. With this launch, customers can also use IPv6-only instances as origins for their Lightsail CDN distributions, making applications running on those instances accessible to all end users, regardless of whether end users have IPv6 connectivity. Lightsail CDN distributions support multiple origin types including instances, containers, buckets, and load balancers. Amazon L

Amazon EVS gives you flexibility in how you configure VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) domains and clusters within an environment. You can put all your hosts into a single large cluster, spread them across several smaller clusters, or any combination that fits your needs. With this release, you can now submit a service quota increase to scale up to a total of 32 hosts and reduce the operational overhead of managing multiple environments. This latest release is available in all regions where Amazon EVS is offered. For more details on the steps and procedure, visit the Amazon EVS product detail page and user guide.

AWS SAM CLI now supports AWS CloudFormation Language Extensions, enabling you to reduce duplication in your infrastructure as code (IaC) templates while retaining the full local development workflow. This accelerates your serverless development by letting you define resources once and iterate locally without waiting for cloud deployments. Developers frequently need to define multiple similar resources, such as Lambda functions, DynamoDB tables, or SNS topics, from a single template definition. However, developers who use SAM CLI to build, test, and deploy their serverless applications previously could not process templates that use CloudFormation Language Extensions. This required choosing between reducing templa
