Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is now available in the AWS South America (São Paulo) Region. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is the platform to build, connect, and optimize agents. It helps engineers ship agents fast with any framework and any model, connect them to enterprise systems and tools, and optimize them continuously, with security enforced at the infrastructure layer that agents can't bypass. With this expansion, customers in South America can deploy and operate agents closer to their end users, reducing latency and helping meet data residency requirements. AgentCore capabilities including agent runtime, identity, gateway, policy, observability, code interpreter, and browser tools are available in the São Paulo Region at launch. For more information on AgentCore, visit the AgentCore product page or the AgentCo

FreeRTOS 202604 LTS, a new Long Term Support release of the open-source real-time operating system for embedded devices, is now available. This release provides embedded systems developers and Internet of Things (IoT) device manufacturers with feature stability, security updates, and critical bug fixes for two years. It addresses key challenges in embedded systems, including memory safety, code quality, and protocol support. FreeRTOS kernel v11.3.0 introduces new hardware ports, security hardening, and expanded Memory Protection Unit (MPU) support, reducing the number of MPU regions claimed by FreeRTOS and allowing developers to reserve hardware regions for application-specific memory protection. Additionally, coreMQTT v5.0.2 adds MQTT v5.0 protocol support, enabling features like topic aliases for bandwidth-constrained devices and request/response patterns for interactive IoT applications. coreSNTP v2.0.0 brings year 2038 readiness, so devices deployed today can validate T

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports cross-region data access for OpenSearch UI, enabling users to access OpenSearch domains hosted in different AWS Regions from within a single OpenSearch UI application. Combined with the cross-account data access launch earlier this year, you can now query or build dashboards on OpenSearch domains in flexible combinations of accounts and Regions - without switching endpoints or replicating data. Cross-region data access is available for OpenSearch domains hosted in both public and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) configurations. With cross-region data access, teams can build centralized analytics, search, and observability workflows across globally distributed deployments while keeping data in place - meeting data residency requirements, minimizing inter-region egress, and preserving each Region’s latency an

Amazon CloudFront now supports WebSockets traffic through Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, enabling you to use CloudFront as the single entry point for real-time applications hosted entirely in private subnets. WebSockets support extends VPC origins to applications that require persistent, bidirectional connections between clients and servers, such as chat platforms, collaborative editing tools, live dashboards, and IoT device management systems. Previously, customers running real-time applications over WebSockets had to keep their origins in public subnets and use Access Control Lists and other mechanisms to restrict access to their WebSockets-enabled servers. Customers had to spend ongoing effort to implement and maintain these solutions. Now, customers can place their Application Load Balancers (ALB), Network Load Balancers (NLB), and EC2 instances serving WebSockets traffic in private subnets accessible only through their CloudFront distributions. CloudFront serves

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere now provides the capability to configure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoint policies for the IAM Roles Anywhere CreateSession API. You can update your VPC endpoint policies to allow or deny the CreateSession operation. If CreateSession is not explicitly included in the Allow statement of your VPC endpoint policy or if you don’t allow all operations (for example, by specifying “rolesanywhere:*“ as the action), IAM Roles Anywhere will not return temporary AWS credentials for requests made through your VPC endpoint. The CreateSession API enables workloads running outside of AWS to obtain temporary AWS credentials using X.509 certificates to access AWS resources. Previously, VPC endpoint policies applied to all IAM Roles Anywhere API operations except CreateSession. This launch closes that gap, giving you consistent, fine-grained access control across all IAM

AWS Transform customers can now use BI migration agents to convert Tableau and Power BI dashboards to Amazon Quick Sight (BI capability of Amazon Quick) assets, helping reduce migration effort from months to days. These agents are built by Wavicle Data Solutions, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, leveraging the AWS Transform initiative to create differentiated transformation solutions by integrating specialized agents, tools, knowledge bases, and workflow with AWS Transform’s agentic AI capabilities. Four agents are available for purchase through AWS Marketplace: one Analyzer agent and one Converter agent for each BI migration source (Power BI and Tableau). AWS Transform is a collaborative enterprise IT transfor

Amazon Redshift announces the general availability of Amazon Redshift concurrency scaling support for Amazon Redshift auto-copy and zero-ETL, enhancing the performance of data ingestion. This new feature combines the power of auto-copy's seamless data ingestion from Amazon S3 and zero-ETL's near real-time data replication from operational database, transactional database, and applications with the elasticity of concurrency scaling. The enhancement delivers benefits for high-volume, time-sensitive data operations. Auto-copy monitors S3 buckets and loads new data files automatically, while zero-ETL replicates data from operational and transactional databases in near real-time. When enable

Spatial Data Management on AWS (SDMA) now supports custom transformation connectors and a unified desktop client installer. Custom transformation connectors let you run compute-intensive processing — such as format conversion, 3D rendering, image tiling, or metadata extraction — by submitting jobs to AWS Deadline Cloud using Open Job Description templates. You can extend SDMA's built-in content analysis with custom logic to verify formats, extract attributes, or run transformations that require dedicated compute resources. Connectors run in isolated compute environments and automatically ingest declared outputs back into SDMA's governed asset repository, enabling you to automate and chain processing workloads across your spatial data pipeline. The SDMA desktop application now includes a standalone installer that bundles all required dependencies, removing the need to separately install the CLI or other components. These features are available in the following AWS

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now supports Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) for Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA), simplifying high-performance inter-node communication and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads. The EFA DRA driver, built on the upstream DRANET project, brings EFA interface sharing and topology-aware allocation for workloads running on Kubernetes. With the EFA DRA driver, you can allocate EFA interfaces and accelerator devices that share the same PCIe root or device group, ensuring inter-node traffic flows through the closest network interface to each NVIDIA GPU, AWS Trainium, or AWS Inferentia device on the node. The EFA DRA driver also supports EFA interface sharing across workloads on the same node to maximize EFA interface utilizatio

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports read replicas for database instances with additional storage volumes. Additional storage volumes allow customers to scale database storage up to 256 TiB by adding up to three storage volumes, each with up to 64 TiB, in addition to the primary storage volume. With this launch, for database instances configured with additional storage volumes, customers can create same-region and cross-region read replica database instances. When a read replica is created for a database instance with additional storage volumes, the replica preserves the storage layout of the source instance, including the configuration of any additional storage volumes. After the initial creation, you can independently manage additional storage volume configurations on the source and read replica instances. Read replicas with additional storage volumes are available in all A
