🚀 AWS Neuron SDK 2.27.0 adds support for Trainium3 UltraServer and expands open-source components to simplify deployment and optimization. The release introduces the Neuron Explorer tools suite, an enhanced Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) with an open-source NKI Compiler built on MLIR (private beta), and an NKI Library of optimized kernels. It also provides native PyTorch support via TorchNeuron (private beta) and a Kubernetes-native Neuron DRA (private beta). The SDK is available in all AWS Regions that support Inferentia and Trainium, bringing improved performance and monitoring for ML workloads.

🔒 AWS Wickr now provides a suite of admin APIs that let administrators programmatically manage secure communication networks at scale. The APIs automate critical workflows — including user lifecycle management, network creation and deletion, retention and federation policy pushes, and security group placement based on directory attributes — and integrate with identity systems, policy frameworks, and automation pipelines.

🔒 AWS Private CA now supports OCSP in China (Beijing, Ningxia) and AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions. The managed OCSP responder enables real-time, per-certificate revocation checks that typically use only a few hundred bytes per query instead of downloading large Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), reducing bandwidth and latency. Enable OCSP through the console, AWS CLI, or API; the responder is highly available and fully managed, removing the need to operate OCSP servers, and pricing details are available in the service documentation.

🔁 Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) Region switch now introduces three new capabilities: general availability in AWS GovCloud (US‑East and US‑West), automatic plan execution reports saved to an Amazon S3 bucket, and support for Amazon DocumentDB global cluster execution blocks.
