🚀 Amazon has expanded Aurora DSQL single-Region clusters to five additional AWS Regions: Hong Kong, Mumbai, Singapore, Stockholm, and Sao Paulo. The service offers serverless, distributed SQL with virtually unlimited scalability, high availability, and minimal infrastructure management. Aurora DSQL provides fast distributed reads and writes to simplify resilience and scaling for always-available applications. It is now available across 18 AWS Regions and is eligible for the AWS Free Tier.

🧬 AWS HealthOmics now supports caching completed task outputs when runs are cancelled, automatically storing those outputs in the customer’s S3 bucket. When caching is enabled, customers can restart runs from the point of cancellation and avoid recomputing tasks that already finished. This capability helps researchers, bioinformaticians, and workflow developers debug and iterate more efficiently. Caching is available for Nextflow, WDL, and CWL runs across all HealthOmics regions.

🌐 Amazon Route 53 Domains now supports registration and management of 34 new top-level domains, including .app, .dev, .health, and .realty. The addition broadens industry- and purpose-focused naming options for businesses, developers, and creative professionals. Users can register domains via the Route 53 console, AWS CLI, or SDKs with integrated DNS management and automatic renewal. Developers can also manage registrations programmatically using the AWS Agent Toolkit.

🚀 AWS announced general availability of Claude Platform on AWS, enabling customers to access Anthropic’s native Claude experience directly through their AWS accounts. The service is operated by Anthropic and processes customer data outside the AWS security boundary, while integrating with existing IAM, consolidated billing, and CloudTrail for visibility. It includes APIs, console access, early beta features, and capabilities such as Claude Managed Agents, web search, code execution, files API, and prompt tools.

📦 AWS Transform now automates replatforming to containers during migrations, extending its agentic AI to generate Dockerfiles, build images, and publish to Amazon ECR. It supports repositories from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or .zip sources and builds deployment artifacts for Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. Integrated security scanning and Terraform and Helm outputs simplify operations. Available in all Regions where AWS Transform is offered.

🔒 AWS Client VPN now provides a Linux desktop client compatible with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, expanding support beyond 22.04 and 24.04. The AWS-supplied client is free and available in all regions where the service is generally available. As a managed VPN service, AWS Client VPN securely connects remote employees to AWS and on-premises networks. Desktop support also includes MacOS (Sonoma 14.0, Sequoia 15.0, Tahoe 26.0) and Windows 11, with ARM64 builds available.

📣 Amazon Connect now supports Default Guides for After Contact Work (ACW), automatically launching a Step-by-Step Guide when an agent enters ACW. This eliminates manual navigation to wrap-up tools and helps standardize post-contact workflows. The feature reduces handle time, lowers errors, and improves agent consistency and productivity. Step-by-Step Guides are available in multiple AWS regions.

🌐 Amazon Web Services now lets customers add or remove AWS Regions for Route 53 Global Resolver, enabling flexible control over where anycast DNS queries are resolved. This update lets organizations expand Global Resolver coverage or adjust regional deployments to meet compliance and latency objectives without recreating configurations. The feature supports anycast resolution for public domains and private Route 53 hosted zones, includes DNS query filtering and centralized logging, and is available at no additional cost in supported Regions.

📢 AWS Service Catalog is now available in Asia Pacific (New Zealand) and Canada West (Calgary). The service enables administrators to define and manage approved Infrastructure as Code products using AWS CloudFormation or third‑party tools like Terraform, and to share portfolios across accounts via AWS Organizations. Organizations can apply launch and template constraints, manage product versions, and control access with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to provide governed self‑service provisioning at scale for engineers, DBAs, and other end users.

🔒 Amazon Quick now supports cross-account access to Amazon Athena data sources, enabling queries against Athena datasets that reside in different AWS accounts from your Quick deployment. Administrators create an Athena data source by specifying a RunAsRole in the Quick account and a ConsumerAccountRoleArn in the target account; Quick chains roles to assume the RunAsRole and then the consumer role to execute queries, with Athena query costs billed to the account where the data lives. The feature supports multiple roles per consumer account for fine-grained team segregation and is available in all supported Amazon Quick Sight regions.

🔔 Amazon RDS for MySQL now supports MySQL minor versions 8.0.46 and 8.4.9, aligning with the latest community releases. AWS recommends upgrading to address known security vulnerabilities and to benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features. You can use automatic minor version upgrades or Amazon RDS Managed Blue/Green deployments to apply updates during scheduled maintenance for safer rollouts.

🔧 IAM Policy Autopilot now analyzes Java applications and cross-references Terraform definitions to produce more precise IAM policies. The open-source tool, introduced at re:Invent 2025, already supported Python, TypeScript, and Go, and is available at no additional cost for local use. By resolving resource ARNs from Terraform, generated policies can avoid broad wildcard permissions and better enforce least-privilege. This update speeds policy creation and reduces time spent troubleshooting access issues.

🌐 Amazon Web Services announced that Route 53 Resolver endpoints now support DNS64 on inbound endpoints and IPv6 forwarding through the internet gateway (IGW) on outbound endpoints. DNS64 lets IPv6-only on-premises clients reach IPv4-only services in VPCs by synthesizing AAAA records from existing A records, removing the need to modify those services. Outbound IPv6 forwarding enables Resolver outbound endpoints to forward queries to public IPv6 name servers via the IGW. These capabilities are available at no additional cost in Regions that support Route 53 Resolver endpoints.

🧾 AWS Marketplace launched a Tax management portal integrated into AWS Partner Central and the AWS Marketplace Management portal, giving sellers a self‑service way to view, search, and download invoices without support requests.
