🔧 Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports API-driven Slurm configuration, enabling you to define Slurm topology, instance group to partition mappings, and FSx filesystem mounts directly in the cluster CreateCluster and UpdateCluster APIs or via the AWS Console. The update lets you specify node roles such as Controller, Login, and Compute per instance group and mount FSx for Lustre or FSx for OpenZFS filesystems. A new SlurmConfigStrategy (Managed, Overwrite, Merge) detects partition-node drift and controls whether updates are paused, overwritten, or merged to preserve manual customizations.

🔔 Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) Managed Instances now integrate with Amazon EC2 Capacity Reservations, letting you apply reserved capacity to managed EC2 compute while ECS handles infrastructure. Configure capacity providers with capacityOptionType=reserved and choose reservation preferences — reservations-only, reservations-first, or reservations-excluded — to balance predictability and cost. Available in all regions and configurable via Console, CLI, CloudFormation, or SDKs.

🔁 AWS Marketplace now supports Concurrent Agreements for SaaS and Professional Services products, enabling multiple active purchases of the same product within a single AWS account. The change removes the prior one-agreement-per-product limitation and lets different business units procure independently with separate terms and pricing. Buyers gain flexibility for mid-term expansions and repeat purchases, while sellers can close multi-unit deals immediately and avoid operational workarounds.

🔁 AWS announced general availability of dynamic dialing mode switching for Amazon Connect Outbound Campaigns, allowing administrators to change between preview and non-preview dialing modes while a campaign is running. Previously, campaigns were locked to their initial dialing mode and required stopping and restarting to change strategy. The new capability lets contact centers adapt dialing behavior in real time to improve agent productivity and campaign efficiency without interruptions. It is available at no additional cost in all supported AWS Regions.

🔒 Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights now provides lock contention diagnostics for Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL instances when operating in Advanced mode. The feature visualizes blocking and waiting sessions to highlight the dominant sessions, queries, or objects causing contention and preserves historical locking data for up to 15 months. You can enable diagnostics on PostgreSQL clusters via the RDS console, AWS APIs, or the AWS SDK. CloudWatch Database Insights is available in all public AWS Regions and uses vCPU-based pricing.

📡 Fortinet announced Alliance Partnerships with Parsec Technologies and Westermo to deliver ruggedized, rapidly deployable secure connectivity for mobile and fixed cyber-physical systems. The Parsec Emergency Connectivity Kit (ECK) packages preconfigured Fortinet devices with rugged enclosures and high-gain antennas for quick field deployment, available as Bloodhound (mobility) and Pitbull (resilience) models. Westermo integration brings WeOS switches and cellular routers into the Fortinet Security Fabric via IPsec, while FortiAuthenticator and FortiPAM extend identity and privileged access controls for industrial sites.

🔧 Microsoft released the KB5077241 optional cumulative preview for Windows 11, delivering 29 fixes and features including improved BitLocker reliability and a built-in network speed test. The update introduces native Sysmon functionality (disabled by default) and will automatically enable Quick Machine Recovery on some Professional devices that are not domain‑joined or enterprise managed. It also shortens resume-from-sleep times, refines taskbar and File Explorer behavior, and adds RSAT support on Arm64.

⚙️ AWS Deadline Cloud now supports grouping short tasks into executable chunks to improve run-time efficiency and reduce cost. Users can specify a fixed chunk size or set a target run time, and Deadline Cloud will dynamically adjust grouping as the job progresses to meet that target. The feature addresses workloads with many short-duration tasks or environments that have long startup times. It is available in all Regions where AWS Deadline Cloud is supported.

🔁 AWS AppConfig now integrates with New Relic Workflow Automation to enable automated, intelligent rollbacks during feature flag and dynamic configuration deployments. The extension continuously monitors application health against configured alert conditions and, when errors or elevated latency are detected during gradual deployments, triggers an immediate rollback to the prior configuration. This closed-loop automation eliminates manual intervention and reduces remediation from minutes to seconds, minimizing customer impact.

🔍 AWS announced a new AWS WAF AI activity dashboard that centralizes visibility into AI-driven bot and agent traffic reaching applications. The update expands AWS WAF Bot Control detection to track more than 650 unique bots and agents and provides trend visualizations, most-active bot listings, path analysis, and request volumes by category and verification status. Administrators can act directly using Bot Control rules to allow verified crawlers while rate-limiting or blocking unverified agents. The dashboard is available in all AWS Regions and is included on flat-rate plans or provided at no extra cost for other WAF customers.

🔍 AWS Elemental MediaConvert introduces the free Probe API, a fast metadata analysis tool that reads file headers to return codec, pixel format, color space, and container information without processing full video content. The Probe API is optimized for efficiency and designed to speed validation and decision-making in media workflows. It supports automation scenarios, including integration with Step Functions, so encoding decisions can be made based on source file characteristics. The feature is available in any region where MediaConvert operates.

🔍 Amazon S3 server access logs now include the AWS source region for each request, indicating the Region where a request originated. This information appears automatically at the end of every log entry (for example, a request to a us-east-1 bucket from us-west-2 will show "us-west-2") and requires no configuration or additional cost. The update helps teams identify cross-region traffic to optimize performance and cost and will roll out to all Regions in the coming weeks.

🔍 AWS has enhanced Trusted Advisor's unused NAT Gateway detection by leveraging AWS Compute Optimizer data and additional CloudWatch metrics over a 32-day lookback. The check now verifies route table associations to avoid flagging critical backup gateways, reducing false positives. Each recommendation includes estimated monthly cost savings and is accessible in the Trusted Advisor console or via APIs. Organizations must opt in to Cost Optimization Hub and Compute Optimizer to use the enhanced recommendations.

📺 AWS has made Elemental Media Services available in the Asia Pacific (Malaysia) Region, enabling local ingestion, transport, transcoding, packaging, and delivery. The expansion includes MediaConnect, MediaLive, MediaPackage, MediaConvert, and MediaTailor. Broadcasters and streaming platforms can now process live and VOD workflows closer to Malaysian audiences to reduce latency and improve video quality while supporting server-side ad insertion and multi-device delivery.

💰 Amazon Web Services now offers 3-year Serverless Reservations for Amazon Redshift Serverless, a discounted commitment option that can save up to 45% and improve cost predictability. Reservations commit a specified number of Redshift Processing Units (RPUs) for a three-year term with a no-upfront payment option, are billed hourly and metered per second, and can be shared across accounts at the payer level. Any usage beyond the committed RPU level is charged at standard on-demand rates.

🔎 AWS added source document references to Automated Reasoning policies in Amazon Bedrock, enabling users to trace generated formal rules and variables back to the original documents used to create policies. This improves transparency and makes it easier to review, validate, and refine policy encodings derived from uploaded materials. Test generation for Automated Reasoning checks is now available in multiple US and Europe Regions and can be accessed via the Bedrock console and the Bedrock Python SDK. AWS says the checks use formal verification and can reach up to 99% accuracy in identifying correct LLM responses, helping detect hallucinations and ambiguity.
