Today, AWS announced support for Resolver query logging configurations in Amazon Route 53 Profiles, allowing you to manage Resolver query logging configuration and apply it to multiple VPCs and AWS accounts within your organization. With this enhancement, Amazon Route 53 Profiles simplifies the management of Resolver query logging by streamlining the process of associating logging configurations with VPCs, and without requiring you to manually associate them with each VPC. Route 53 Profiles allows you to create and share Route 53 configurations (private hosted zones, DNS Firewall rule groups, Resolver rules) across multiple VPCs and AWS accounts. Previously, Resolver query logging required you to manually set it up for each VPC in every AWS account. Now, with Route 53 Profiles you can manage your Resolver query logging configurations for your VPCs and AWS accounts, using a single Profile configuration. Profiles support for Resolver query logging configurations reduces the m

AWS Transform for VMware now allows customers to automatically generate network configurations that can be directly imported into the Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS solution (LZA). Building on AWS Transform's existing support for infrastructure-as-code generation in AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Terraform formats, this new capability specifically enables automatic transformation of VMware network environments into LZA-compatible network configuration YAML files. These YAML configurations can be directly deployed through LZA's deployment pipeline, streamlining the process of setting up your cloud infrastructure. AWS Transform for VMware is an agentic AI service that automates the discovery, planning, and migration of VMware workloads, accelerating infrastructure modernization with increased speed and confidence. Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS solution (LZA) automates the setu

AWS Marketplace now displays estimated tax information and the invoicing entity to buyers at the time of purchase. This new capability helps customers understand the total cost of their AWS Marketplace purchases before completing transactions, providing enhanced transparency for procurement approvals and budgeting. When reviewing offers in AWS Marketplace, customers can now see estimated tax amounts, tax rates, and the invoicing entity based on their current tax and address settings in the AWS Billing console. This information appears at the time of procurement and can be downloaded as a PDF, allowing buyers to request approval for the correct spend amount and issue purchase orders to the appropriate invoicing entity. The estimated tax display includes the tax type (such as Value Added Tax, Goods and Services Tax, or US sales tax), estimated tax amount for upfront charges, and tax rate information. This visibility helps finance teams accurately budget and avoid unexpected c

Today, AWS launched the ability for Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) to automatically acquire non-overlapping IP address allocations from Infoblox Universal IPAM. This feature minimizes manual processes between cloud and on-premises administrators, reducing the turnaround time. With this launch, you can automatically acquire non-overlapping IP addresses from your on-premises Infoblox Universal IPAM into your top-level AWS IPAM pool and organize them into regional pools based on your business requirements. When you acquire non-overlapping IPs, you reduce the risk of service disruptions because your IPs don’t conflict with on-premise IP addresses. Previously, in hybrid cloud environments, administrators had to use offline means such as tickets or emails to request and allocate IP addresses, which was often error-prone and time-consuming. This integration automates the manual process, improving operational efficiency. This feature is available in all

AWS Lambda announces Provisioned Mode for SQS event-source-mappings (ESMs) that subscribe to Amazon SQS, a feature that allows you to optimize the throughput of your SQS ESM by provisioning event polling resources that remain ready to handle sudden spikes in traffic. SQS ESM configured with Provisioned Mode scales 3x faster (up to 1000 concurrent executions per minute) and supports 16x higher concurrency (up to 20,000 concurrent executions) than default SQS ESM capability. This allows you to build highly responsive and scalable event-driven applications with stringent performance requirements. Customers use SQS as an event source for Lambda functions to build mission-critical applications using Lambda's fully-managed SQS ESM, which automatically scales polling resources in response to events. However, for applications that need to handle unpredictable bursts of traffic, lack of control

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now includes enhancements that improve service availability during rolling deployments. These enhancements help maintain availability when new application version tasks are failing, when current tasks are unexpectedly terminated, or when scale-out is triggered during deployments. Previously, when tasks in your currently running version became unhealthy or were terminated during a rolling deployment, ECS would attempt to replace them with the new version to prioritize deployment progress. If the new version could not launch successfully—such as when new tasks fail health checks or fail to start—these replacements would fail and your service availability could drop. ECS now replaces unhealthy or terminated tasks using the same service revision they belong to. Unhealthy tasks in your currently running version are replaced with healthy tasks from that same version, indepen
