Managers can define custom evaluation criteria in natural language and receive AI-generated assessments with justifications in their preferred language. The feature also supports cross-language evaluation, producing English assessments from non-English conversations, and is available in eight AWS regions.

🚀 Amazon Bedrock now supports NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B, NVIDIA's efficient hybrid Mixture-of-Experts language model with a 256k token context window and native tool-calling support. The model delivers higher throughput for agentic, coding, and complex reasoning workloads while preserving the depth of larger models through advanced reinforcement learning and multi-environment post-training. Powered by Project Mantle, Bedrock provides serverless distributed inference, QoS controls, automated capacity management and OpenAI API compatibility across multiple AWS Regions.

🔒 Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports Web Authentication (WebAuthn) redirection, enabling users to authenticate to websites from within remote browser sessions using local FIDO2 security keys, passkeys, and platform authenticators like Windows Hello or Touch ID. This capability works with Chromium‑based local browsers such as Google Chrome 136+ and Microsoft Edge 137+, but not with Safari or Firefox. Administrators must enable WebAuthn redirection in the Secure Browser portal and configure the WebAuthenticationRemoteDesktopAllowedOrigins policy on local browsers to allow secure token forwarding. The feature is available at no additional cost in all supported regions.

🔔 Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) is now available in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) region. Customers can create provisioned clusters with either Standard or new Express brokers, with Express delivering significantly higher throughput, faster scaling, and quicker recovery. Create clusters via the Amazon MSK console or the AWS CLI and refer to the Amazon MSK Developer Guide to get started.

🔁 AWS Transform now automates network conversion for hybrid data center migrations, removing the need for manual VLAN and IP range mapping across VMware and non‑VMware environments. The service analyzes exported inventories and maps network elements to AWS constructs like VPCs, subnets, route tables, and security groups. It also ingests application mapping outputs such as modelizeIT to generate Infrastructure as Code and provision networking in target Regions.

🎨 Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports branding customization so administrators can deliver a consistent, branded sign-in and session experience. Admins can upload a favicon, logo, and wallpaper, select color themes, and customize welcome text, browser tab titles, and other copy in all 11 supported languages.

It is available at no extra cost in 10 AWS Regions and uses the existing pay-as-you-go pricing model.

🤖 AWS End User Messaging now offers a Generative AI Registration Reviewer (preview) to help customers validate phone number registrations before submitting to mobile carriers. The reviewer checks message samples, opt-in descriptions, declared use-cases, and help/stop texts, providing feedback and suggested corrections to improve completeness and accuracy. Available in all Regions where AWS End User Messaging is offered, the preview aims to reduce carrier rejections and speed the registration process.

🔁 Amazon Redshift now supports running CREATE MV and REFRESH MV from multiple Redshift data warehouses and lets you create materialized views on shared MVs. The update also enables concurrency scaling for the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW DDL, so MV creation can scale when your primary cluster or workgroup is resource-constrained. These capabilities are available immediately in all AWS regions. See the Materialized Views and Data Sharing sections of the documentation for details.

🎬 AWS Deadline Cloud now supports direct job submission from the Deadline Cloud Monitor desktop application, removing the previous requirement to use the CLI for job bundles. This change simplifies workflows for legacy applications, specialized renderers, and custom tools that lack built-in Deadline Cloud plugins or submission scripts. Download Deadline Cloud Monitor version 1.1.7 in the AWS Console to enable the feature and manage jobs end-to-end.

🔍 Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) Service Connect now supports Envoy access logs, providing request-level telemetry for end-to-end tracing, debugging, and compliance monitoring. You enable access logging by updating the ServiceConnectConfiguration; query strings are redacted by default to protect sensitive data. Envoy access logs are written to STDOUT alongside application logs and flow through the existing ECS log pipeline without requiring additional infrastructure. The capability supports HTTP, HTTP/2, gRPC, and TCP and is available in AWS GovCloud regions where Service Connect is supported.

🔍 Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Service Connect now supports Envoy access logs, delivering per-request telemetry for deeper observability and compliance. Access logs are emitted to STDOUT and flow through existing ECS log pipelines, with query strings redacted by default to protect sensitive data. You can enable logging by updating the ServiceConnectConfiguration via the Console, API, SDK, CLI, or CloudFormation. This capability supports HTTP, HTTP/2, gRPC and TCP on Fargate and EC2 in AWS GovCloud (US-West and US-East).

🔁 Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (Amazon KVS) now supports IPv6 addressing for WebRTC through dual‑stack endpoint support, enabling devices to connect over both IPv4 and IPv6. The change preserves existing IPv4 implementations while providing native IPv6 connectivity and removing the need for address translation equipment. This capability is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon KVS is offered, except Asia Pacific (Singapore) and China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet). Refer to the Amazon KVS Developer Guide for implementation details.

🔁 AWS announced that customers can now share Oracle Database@AWS AWS Marketplace entitlements across accounts within an AWS Organization. Organizations can accept a single Marketplace offer in one account and allocate that entitlement to additional accounts via AWS License Manager or APIs. Recipient accounts can activate shared entitlements and begin consuming services immediately. The feature is available in all Regions where Oracle Database@AWS is offered.

🚀 Amazon GameLift Streams introduced Gen6 stream classes and enhanced autoscaling with a warm buffer to improve performance and reduce costs. Seven Gen6 classes, built on EC2 G6 instances with NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs, offer up to 2x performance versus Gen4 and include pro/ultra for AAA and medium/small for casual titles; gen6n_small is $0.16/hour in us‑east‑2. Enhanced autoscaling adds minimum, maximum, and target‑idle capacity controls so developers can dynamically scale provisioned capacity to optimize utilization and player start time, with Gen6 available in five regions and autoscaling offered across all supported Regions.

📈 Amazon GameLift Streams now exposes real-time session performance stats for individual stream sessions, delivering detailed CPU, memory, GPU, and VRAM metrics via the Web SDK and a console overlay. Developers can inspect active sessions, export session data for post-analysis, and use these insights to choose optimal GPUs and tune application performance. The update also improves session status reasons and API error messaging to make root cause analysis and troubleshooting more actionable. These features are available at no additional cost in all Regions offering GameLift Streams.

🚀 AWS Storage Gateway now supports deployment on the Nutanix AHV hypervisor, enabling S3 File, Tape, and Volume gateway virtual appliances to run on Nutanix HCI environments.
