Amazon Verified Permissions Adds Four New AWS Regions

🔒 Amazon Verified Permissions is now available in Asia Pacific (Taipei), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), and Mexico (Central), expanding regional coverage to 35 AWS Regions. The managed service provides scalable, fine-grained authorization using the open-source Cedar policy language, enabling applications to enforce permissions as policies rather than embedding them in code. Developers and administrators can define role-, attribute-, and context-aware access controls for APIs and application resources, simplifying authorization and improving governance.

Amazon Verified Permissions adds Cedar 4.5 support

🔒 Amazon Verified Permissions now supports Cedar 4.5, introducing the new is operator to enable type-based access checks. Developers can write policies that grant or deny access based on a resource’s declared type—for example, allowing administrators to view a resource only when it is an invoice in a petstore app. The update enhances Cedar’s type system, helps catch type-related errors earlier in policy development, and is available in all AWS Regions where the service runs; new and backward-compatible accounts have been automatically upgraded.
