It walks through two tenant scenarios: cross-account access for Example Corp and VPC-restricted access for AnyCompany, demonstrating how to apply resource-level Allow and explicit Deny conditions. The article covers required IAM permissions, example policy files, and verification steps to ensure network- and identity-based constraints are enforced.

🔌 AWS now offers a free 500 Mbps Interconnect - multicloud tier to simplify private connectivity between AWS and other public clouds. The open specification behind Interconnect is already adopted by Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with Microsoft Azure planned later in 2026. The free tier provides a fully managed, resilient path (one local Tier 1 Interconnect per customer per region) and includes an Amazon CloudWatch Network Synthetic Monitor at no additional cost. Other CSPs set their own charges for their side of the link, so customers should review third-party pricing before creating an Interconnect.

🔔 AWS has opened the public preview of AWS Interconnect - multicloud with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), enabling customers to provision resilient, private connections between AWS and OCI from the us-east-1 (N. Virginia) Region. The service implements an open specification already used for Google Cloud (GA) and planned for Microsoft Azure in 2026. Customers can create preview connections via the AWS Management Console, CLI, or API, simplifying multicloud networking and reducing the need for DIY global network architectures.

🔒 In this May 2026 Cloud CISO Perspectives entry, Vinod D’Souza and Anthony Belfiore outline how Google and Wiz are combining deep cloud telemetry with advanced AI research to address multicloud security challenges. They emphasize a developer-centric shift that moves remediation into code using tools like Wiz Code and sensors for hybrid Linux, vSphere, and Windows environments. The authors envision agentic SOCs and near real-time defenses that boost analyst efficiency while preserving human-in-the-loop oversight. The collaboration aims to accelerate self-healing infrastructure without compromising availability.

🌐 Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports cross-region data access in OpenSearch UI, letting a single OpenSearch UI application query domains hosted in different AWS Regions without switching endpoints or replicating data. The capability works for domains in both public and VPC configurations and complements earlier cross-account data access so teams can combine accounts and Regions flexibly. It supports queries across primary and replica domains and uses both IAM and IAM Identity Center for authentication.

🔒 At Next '26 Francis deSouza framed Google Cloud's direction as preparing enterprises for an agentic future, positioning the platform as AI‑native, open, and secure. He argued that multicloud and multi‑AI are essential for resilience and highlighted AI-driven SOC automation outcomes including a 90% reduction in mitigation time and Triage and Investigation tasks collapsed from 30 minutes to 60 seconds using Gemini. The integration of Wiz was presented as a way to secure self‑hosted and multicloud AI lifecycles, while a new whitepaper and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform outline governance, prompt sanitization, and agent identity controls.

🔁 Amazon Web Services announced that Amazon MSK Replicator now supports replicating data from external Apache Kafka clusters—including on‑premises, self‑managed on AWS, or third‑party clouds—into MSK Express brokers. This capability simplifies workload migration, enables MSK Express clusters to act as failover or backup targets for disaster recovery, and supports hybrid and multi‑cloud data distribution. MSK Replicator preserves original topic names, prevents infinite replication loops, and synchronizes consumer group offsets bidirectionally to let producers and consumers move independently without data loss.

🚀 Cloudflare announced a unified AI inference platform that lets developers call models from multiple providers through one API and a single billing plane. Using the same AI.run() binding for Workers, teams can switch providers with a one-line change; REST support is coming for other environments. The update adds default gateways, automatic retries, finer logging, and centralized cost monitoring to reduce latency, improve reliability, and control costs for agentic workflows.

🌐 Google Cloud has announced that U.S. and EU multi-region endpoints for Claude on Vertex AI are available in public preview. These endpoints pool capacity across multiple regions within a geography to dynamically route requests, improving reliability while keeping processing and data within the chosen jurisdiction. The feature supports prompt caching and automatic failover, and currently offers Opus 4.7 in preview. Enabling the capability requires a simple update to your API location identifier (for example, using us or eu).

🔗 AWS has made AWS Interconnect - multicloud generally available, providing private, resilient, high-speed connections between Amazon VPCs and other cloud providers. Google Cloud is the initial launch partner, with Microsoft Azure slated to join later in 2026. The service integrates with AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN to simplify scaling across VPCs and Regions, and introduces single-fee bandwidth pricing plus one free local 500 Mbps interconnect per Region starting in May.

☁️ AWS Deadline Cloud now supports creating monitors in multiple AWS Regions without requiring changes to your IAM Identity Center configuration. You can deploy render farms and place resources closer to artists and studios worldwide, and run or compare workloads across Regions to optimize rendering strategy or diversify instance types. Deadline Cloud automatically routes authentication to your IAM Identity Center instance in its primary Region, keeping identity data in place and avoiding replication.

🔁 AWS now supports IAM Identity Center multi-Region replication, enabling workforce access and supported AWS managed applications to operate from additional Regions for improved resiliency and lower latency. Administrators create a multi-Region customer-managed KMS key, replicate it to target Regions, and add those Regions in the Identity Center console. External IdP configurations (for example, Okta or Microsoft Entra ID) must be updated with new ACS and access portal URLs so both service-provider and IdP-initiated flows work. Instance-level management remains centralized in the primary Region while additional Regions provide read-only replicated configuration and local application access.

🔒 AWS announced an expanded AWS Security Hub that serves as a centralized security operations layer, aggregating risk signals from multicloud environments. The update promises near real-time risk analytics, automated analysis, and prioritized insights, and extends CSPM and Amazon Inspector capabilities to cover VMs, containers, and serverless. It also supports third-party integrations through AWS Security Hub Extended to unify visibility across vendors.

🔒 AWS Security Hub Extended is now generally available, offering a single-vendor plan that combines AWS detection services with curated partner security solutions on a pay-as-you-go or flat-rate basis. The plan consolidates procurement and billing—AWS serves as seller of record and Enterprise Support customers receive unified Level 1 support. It centralizes findings in a standard format for cross-tool visibility, reduces manual integration work, and lets organizations add or remove categories such as endpoint, identity, email, network, data, browser, cloud, AI, and security operations without long-term commitments.

🔐 Check Point has been named a Leader in the GigaOm Radar for Cloud Network Security for the third consecutive year.
