🛠️ Cloudflare Workflows now supports saga rollbacks, letting developers declare per-step compensation logic directly in step.do() calls. This feature simplifies undoing partial work when later steps fail by running rollback handlers in reverse step-start order and preserving idempotency via idempotency keys. Rollback handlers are durable, configurable with retries and timeouts, emit lifecycle events, and execute only when the Workflow fails terminally.

🔐 Cloudflare announced self-managed OAuth, allowing any customer to create and manage OAuth clients for delegated access to the Cloudflare API. The company upgraded its underlying OAuth engine (Hydra) through staged 1.X and 2.X migrations, implemented blue‑green cutovers, and used queues to preserve revocations during the transition. Post‑upgrade improvements reduced latency and resource usage and enabled broader, safer integration patterns for developers.

🛈 Microsoft released optional preview update KB5095093 for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, installing build 26100.8737 and introducing new features and bug fixes. The update offers a new Point-in-Time restore capability that captures VSS-based restore points for up to 72 hours and simplifies rollback of the OS, apps, and files. It also fixes a Recycle Bin filename confirmation bug and brings improvements across Secure Boot, Netlogon, File Explorer, Bluetooth, Widgets, accessibility, and networking.

🚀 Amazon ElastiCache now supports Valkey 9.1 for node-based clusters, delivering higher throughput, improved memory efficiency, and stronger access control for multi-tenant workloads. The release includes a redesigned I/O threading model that boosts throughput up to 17%, reduces memory for small strings by up to 20%, and introduces database-level ACLs to scope user permissions. New commands such as HGETDEL, MSETEX, and CLUSTERSCAN simplify common application patterns, and additional main-thread and I/O-thread metrics improve operational visibility.

🚀 Migration Assistant for Amazon OpenSearch Service now includes an AI-assisted experience that simplifies moving self-managed Apache Solr, Elasticsearch, or OpenSearch deployments to OpenSearch Serverless or Managed Clusters. The assistant integrates with AI tools like Kiro and Claude Code to plan migrations, deploy infrastructure, and execute both historical and live traffic migration. It also adds live traffic capture and replay support for Solr and is available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where OpenSearch Service is offered.

📰 Microsoft confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 as the next feature update and has begun testing with Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. The company says devices running Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 can upgrade via a small 174 KB enablement package, while systems on 23H2 or older will need the full 6.5 GB update. Microsoft also published a whitepaper explaining the shared servicing model for these releases.

🚀 AWS Batch introduces two new allocation strategies—Best Fit Progressive Ordered (BFPO) and Spot Capacity Optimized Prioritized (SCOP)—allowing customers to specify ordered instance type preferences for on‑demand and Spot compute environments. Use BEST_FIT_PROGRESSIVE_ORDERED for on‑demand and SPOT_CAPACITY_OPTIMIZED_PRIORITIZED for Spot environments, supplying an ordered list of instance types or families. These options are configurable via the AWS Batch API (CreateComputeEnvironment or UpdateComputeEnvironment) or the AWS Management Console and are available in all Regions where AWS Batch is offered.

🔔 AWS IAM Identity Center now supports separate quotas for AWS accounts and applications. By default, administrators can configure up to 7,000 AWS accounts and 7,000 applications independently, so use of one does not reduce capacity for the other. Existing customers with higher limits retain those limits automatically. Quota increases remain available via the AWS Service Quotas console.

🔒 Amazon MSK Replicator now supports mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication for replicating data from external Apache Kafka clusters — including on‑premises, self‑managed on AWS, or other cloud providers — to Amazon MSK Express brokers. This enables migrations, disaster recovery, and hybrid or multi‑cloud data distribution using mTLS‑configured external clusters. MSK Replicator automates replication while preserving topic names and avoiding infinite loops, and also synchronizes consumer group offsets bidirectionally to allow independent movement of producers and consumers.

🛠️ AWS Outposts introduces self-service lifecycle management allowing customers to configure, quote, order, manage subscriptions, renew, and decommission Outposts via the AWS Management Console, CLI, and API. A new configuration and quoting tool provides real-time cost estimates across payment options and term lengths, surfaces account and regional constraints, and converts quotes to orders for new deployments or capacity additions. Subscription details and term information are exposed programmatically, and guided workflows support renewal or decommissioning with resource cleanup. These capabilities are available in all commercial AWS Regions that support AWS Outposts.

🔥 Amazon MSK Provisioned clusters with Express brokers now support Intelligent Rebalancing on all existing clusters at no extra cost. This feature, previously limited to newly created clusters, automates optimal partition balancing when scaling Express-based clusters up or down. Intelligent Rebalancing improves capacity utilization and performs rebalances up to 180× faster than Standard brokers while maintaining availability for producers and consumers.

🚀 Amazon ECS service auto scaling now detects and responds to load changes faster by supporting high-resolution (20-second) metrics and metric publishing optimizations. AWS benchmarking shows time to trigger scale-out improved from 363s to 86s and total time to scale and provision tasks improved from 386s to 109s. Configure 20-second CPU or memory metrics via the AWS Console, CLI, CloudFormation, or SDKs; feature is available in all commercial and GovCloud (US) Regions and across Fargate, managed instances, and EC2. High-resolution metrics incur standard CloudWatch charges.

🔍 AWS Compute Optimizer now factors in additional CloudWatch signals—VolumeIOPSExceededCheck and VolumeThroughputExceededCheck—when producing Amazon EBS volume rightsizing recommendations. These metrics indicate when workloads consistently attempted to exceed provisioned IOPS or throughput in a minute. The feature aims to help balance cost and performance for bursty workloads and is available in all Compute Optimizer regions except AWS GovCloud (US) and China.

🔐 Amazon EKS now supports customer-routed control plane egress, allowing outbound Kubernetes API server traffic to traverse your Amazon VPC. This includes admission webhook callbacks, OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider lookups, and aggregate API server requests. By routing through your VPC you can manage routing, security groups, and egress paths to meet data perimeter and compliance needs. Enable the feature by setting controlPlaneEgressMode to CUSTOMER_ROUTED and enforce it org-wide with the eks:controlPlaneEgressMode IAM condition key.

🚀 Developers using Ray Serve for LLM inference on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) now get significantly better performance thanks to a joint effort with Anyscale. Three architectural changes — HAProxy integration for internal routing, a direct token streaming path, and a v2 Ray executor backend for vLLM — reduce overhead and latency. Benchmarks on A4 VMs with NVIDIA HGX B200 hardware show up to 5x higher throughput and 8x lower latency, while preserving Ray's developer-friendly features.

📣 Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) now supports sending SMS from the Asia Pacific (Seoul) Region, enabling customers to deliver text messages to subscribers across more than 200 countries and territories. Amazon SNS is a fully managed pub/sub messaging service that delivers messages to endpoints such as AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, mobile devices, and email. With this update, customers can subscribe phone numbers to SNS topics and broadcast SMS via AWS End User Messaging. Additional details include supported countries and guidance on mobile text messaging with SNS.

🛠️ Amazon GameLift Servers introduces two container fleet improvements to improve flexibility and inter-container communication for game server deployments. You can now customize Linux capabilities in container group definitions to grant specific permissions such as NET_RAW or SYS_PTRACE, and call the new ListContainersNetworkInfo() server SDK action to discover co-located containers' names, IDs, local IPs, and group types. These features are exposed via the console, AWS CLI, SDK, and CloudFormation and supported in server SDK 5.x for Go, C++, and C#, plus Unreal and Unity plugins, available in all GameLift regions except China.

🔔 Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports larger General Purpose (gp3) volumes, increasing maximum size to 64 TiB, peak IOPS to 80,000, and throughput to 2,000 MiB/s. These enhancements enable larger SQL Server databases and improved performance for I/O-intensive workloads like OLTP and large-scale analytics on a single volume. Customers can also attach up to three gp3 or io2 volumes per DB instance for total capacity up to 256 TiB, with no changes to base pricing.

🚀 Amazon Redshift has made RG instances, powered by AWS Graviton processors, generally available in Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Bangkok), and Mexico (Central). These Graviton-based instances deliver up to 4.2X better price-performance for data warehouse workloads, run up to 2.4x faster than prior RA3 instances, and cost 30% less per vCPU. Customers can provision rg.xlarge and rg.4xlarge nodes, upgrade from RA3, and benefit from built-in savings including incremental snapshot metering by unique data blocks and elimination of Redshift Spectrum scanning charges.

🔗 Amazon Quick now connects to 16 additional tools including Adobe, Figma, WhatsApp, Snowflake, and Smartsheet, enabling teams to act on insights without switching context. The new connectors span productivity, design, analytics, financial intelligence, commerce, and communication, so teams can build cross-tool workflows inside Quick.
