Amazon MQ now supports the ability for RabbitMQ brokers to perform authentication (determining who can log in) using X.509 client certificates with mutual TLS (mTLS). The RabbitMQ auth_mechanism_ssl plugin can be configured on brokers running RabbitMQ version 4.2 and above on Amazon MQ by making changes to the associated configuration file. To start using certificate based authentication on Amazon MQ, simply select RabbitMQ 4.2 when creating a new broker using the M7g instance type through the AWS Management console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs, and then edit the associated configuration file with the required values. To learn more about the plugin, see the Amazon MQ release notes and the Amazon MQ

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8i and R8i-flex instances are available in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Hyderabad) and Europe (Paris) regions. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, available only on AWS, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. The R8i and R8i-flex instances offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver 20% higher performance than R7i instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. They are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to R7i. R8i-flex, our first memory-optimized Flex instances, are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of memory-intensive workloads. They offer the most common siz

Amazon DocumentDB supports millions of requests per second and can be scaled out to 15 low latency read replicas in minutes with no application

Amazon Quick is expanding its third-party integrations by adding AI agents and growing its built-in actions library. Quick is Amazon's new AI-powered workspace and agentic teammate that helps organizations get answers from their business data and move quickly from insights to action. As organizations navigate newly adopted AI agents and work with existing enterprise tools for CRM, support, collaboration, and more, users face fragmented experiences. Users are forced to switch between different interfaces, repeat context, and manually stitch together outputs. Quick enables users to work with third-party agents and enterprise tools from a single interface, eliminating the wasted time and cognitive load of constantly switching between applications. With Quick, business users can now invoke specialized agents from Box, Canva, and PagerDuty to accomplish chat and automation tasks. For example, you can pull incident insights from PagerDuty, generate a presentation in Canva, and qu

Starting today, Amazon EC2 M8i instances are now available in Europe (Frankfurt) and Asia Pacific (Malaysia) Regions.

The M8i instances are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to M7i instances. M8i instances are a great choice for all general purpose workloads, especially for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage. The SAP-certified M8i instances offer 13 sizes including 2 bare me

AWS Lambda now supports creating serverless applications using .NET 10. Developers can use .NET 10 as both a managed runtime and a container base image, and AWS will automatically apply updates to the managed runtime and base image as they become available. .NET 10 is the latest long-term support release of .NET and is expected to be supported for security and bug fixes until November 2028. This release provides Lambda developers with access to the latest .NET features, including file-based apps. It also includes support for Lambda Managed Instances, enabling you to run Lambda functions on Amazon EC2 instances while maintaining serverless operational simplicity, providing cost efficiency and specialized compute options. Powertools for AWS Lambda (.NET), a developer toolkit to implement serverles

Today, AWS announces a simplified onboarding experience for AWS Client VPN, introducing a new Quickstart setup method that streamlines the process of creating and configuring Client VPN endpoints. AWS Client VPN allows you to securely connect remote users to AWS resources and on-premises networks. The new Quickstart setup, reduces the number of steps required to set up an Client VPN endpoint. You can now easily set up Client VPN endpoints with pre-defined default configurations, requiring only three key inputs: IPv4 CIDR, server certificate ARN, and subnet selection. For example, development teams in large organizations who use Client VPN for remote access to their VPC resources for quick testing can now create endpoints quickly with the new simplified setup process. The Quickstart method is available alongside the existing Standard Setup option, giving you the flexibility to choose the approach that best fits your deployment needs. Additionally, when you create a
