AWS Site-to-Site VPN now supports modifying tunnel bandwidth between standard (up to 1.25 Gbps) and large (up to 5 Gbps) on existing connections, making it easier to update your VPN connections’ bandwidth per your organization’s need. Previously, changing tunnel bandwidth required deleting and recreating the connection, which generated new tunnel IP addresses and meant updating your on-premises VPN device configuration and firewall rules. With this launch, tunnels are upgraded while preserving your IP addresses, CIDR blocks, pre-shared keys, and all configuration settings, eliminating the need to make any changes to your on-premises device. This feature is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (N. California), AWS GovCloud (US-West), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Paris, Spain, Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Jakarta, Malaysia, Mumbai, New Zealand, Osaka, Seoul, Sydney, Taipei, Thailand, Tokyo), Africa (Cape To

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) P6-B300 instances are available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. P6-B300 instances provide 8xNVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs with 2.1 TB high bandwidth GPU memory, 6.4 Tbps EFA networking, 300 Gbps dedicated ENA throughput, and 4 TB of system memory. P6-B300 instances deliver 2x networking bandwidth, 1.5x GPU memory size, and 1.5x GPU TFLOPS (at FP4, without sparsity) compared to P6-B200 instances, making them well suited to train and deploy large trillion-parameter foundation models (FMs) and large language models (LLMs) with sophisticated techniques. The higher networking and larger memory deliver faster training times and more token throughput for AI workloads.  P6-B300 instances are now available in p6-b300.48xlarge size in the following AWS Regions: US West (Oregon), AWS GovCloud (US-East) and US East (N. Virginia). To learn more about P6-B300 instances, visit 

Today, AWS Marketplace announces the Agreements API, enabling you to procure AWS Marketplace products and manage agreements programmatically. With this launch, you can generate estimates, accept offers, track charges and entitlements, update purchase orders and manage agreements all within your existing tools and workflows. Combined with the Discovery API, the Agreements API provides an end-to-end procurement journey from product discovery to purchase. You can integrate these APIs into your procurement systems to build custom workflows and streamline operations across your organization. Partners can also use these APIs to build custom storefronts that deliver unified procurement experiences for their customers.  The AWS Marketplace Agreements APIs is available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. To get started, configure AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions for your AWS account and call the API through the AWS SDK. To learn more, see the

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory now supports metadata on long-term memory (LTM) records, enabling agents to tag, filter, and retrieve memories using structured attributes alongside semantic search. You can define up to ten indexed keys per memory resource - with support for STRING, NUMBER, and STRING_LIST types - and use different operator types to filter retrieval results. Metadata can be attached to events at ingestion time or inferred automatically by the LLM based on extraction instructions you define on the memory resource. During ingestion, the LLM processes all events and determines how metadata is applied to the resulting memory records. You define a metadata schema on the memory resource that includes indexed key definitions (key name, type, and optional allowed values) along with extraction instructions that guide the LLM on how to generate metadata from conversation c

Amazon Neptune now offers 1-click connect capability, enabling you to quickly connect to Neptune Database and Neptune Analytics using CloudShell. Previously, connecting to Neptune resources required manual configuration network settings and access permissions, taking time from database administrators, developers, and data analysts who needed to query their graph databases. With 1-click connect, you can immediately start querying your Neptune resources without manual network configuration, significantly reducing setup time and technical complexity. This streamlined approach works across different network configurations, including VPC only resources. 1-click connect is particularly valuable for testing and development workflows, troubleshooting, and for customers new to Neptune who want to quickly explore and experiment with their graph data. 1-click connect is available at no addi

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now supports TLS listeners for environments configured with a Network Load Balancer. You can configure a TLS listener with an SSL certificate and security policy, allowing the load balancer to handle secure connections and forward decrypted traffic to your instances. You can configure TLS listeners through the Elastic Beanstalk console or CLI.   Previously, Elastic Beanstalk did not support TLS listeners for NLB environments as a managed configuration option. With this launch, you can configure TLS listener settings directly through Elastic Beanstalk.   This feature is available in all AWS regions that support Elastic Beanstalk and Network Load Balancers.   To get started, see Configuring a Network Load Balancer in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide. For more information about SSL certificates and s

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now enhances streaming ad personalization with support for trickplay features in HLS and DASH formats. This update also introduces compact DASH manifests for more efficient manifest delivery. Previously, these capabilities required a custom transcode profile. They are now supported natively through dynamic transcoding, eliminating that requirement. MediaTailor provides server-side ad insertion (SSAI) to personalize ads in video streams. As streaming platforms increasingly support trickplay navigation, ensuring that advertisements are properly transcoded with trickplay variants and associated image streams is critical for a seamless viewer experience. These variants must match the specifications of the origin content. With this update: Ad Trickplay Personalization: Trickplay personalization matching is now fully supported for both HLS and DASH workflows via dynamic transcoding. MediaTailor ensures that advertisements include trickp

Today, AWS announces the general availability of the AWS MCP Server, a managed server that gives AI coding agents secure, auditable access to AWS services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The AWS MCP Server is a core component of the Agent Toolkit for AWS, which helps coding agents build on AWS more effectively. With the AWS MCP Server, organizations can let coding agents interact with AWS while maintaining visibility and control through IAM-based guardrails, Amazon CloudWatch metrics, and AWS CloudTrail logging. Since the preview launch at re:Invent 2025, the AWS MCP Server has added several capabilities. Agents can now call any AWS API through a single tool, including operations that require file uploads or long-running execution. Sandboxed script execution lets agents run Python code against AWS services for multi-step operations, without access to your local filesystem or s

Today, AWS is launching the Agent Toolkit for AWS, a production-ready suite of tools and guidance that helps AI coding agents build on AWS with fewer errors, lower token costs, and enterprise-grade security controls. The Agent Toolkit for AWS is the successor to the MCP servers, plugins, and skills available on AWS Labs. Developers using coding agents to build on AWS often find that their agents struggle with complex multi-service workflows, rely on outdated knowledge of AWS services, and are difficult to govern — leading to wasted time, wasted tokens, and a reluctance to deploy agents in production. The Agent Toolkit for AWS addresses these challenges through agent skills, a fully-managed MCP server, and easy-to-install plugins. Agent skills give agents validated, up-to-date procedures for tasks like authoring CloudFormation templates, configuring data pipelines, and building serverless applications — so agents follow best pract
