We're excited to announce in-region support for Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5 on Amazon Bedrock in the UK (London) Region. Customers who need to process data within the United Kingdom, including those in financial services, healthcare, and the public sector, can now use these models at scale while keeping inference in-country. In the UK, Amazon Bedrock supports Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5 with in-region inference on the bedrock-runtime endpoint in the London (eu-west-2) Region. Amazon Bedrock processes inference requests and data within the Region you call, and the processing never leaves that Region. For the most c…

Amazon Quick now supports the hierarchy filter, a single control that lets readers drill through related dimensions such as Region, Country, and City. It replaces several stacked filter controls with one, cutting clutter and guiding readers to their data in fewer clicks. The filter holds up to five dimension levels, arranged broadest to most detailed. Readers open one dropdown and expand each level in turn, with every selection narrowing the next and auto-selecting its parent chain. Authors create it by adding a filter, setting its type to Hierarchy filter, and arranging the fields parent to child. For a retail sales dashboard, instead of st…

Partner Revenue Measurement (PRM) provides measurement of AWS consumption driven by Partner solutions. Today, PRM adds multi-Partner support to Resource Tagging, so that multiple AWS Partners can receive revenue attribution for the same AWS resource. Previously, a resource carried only one Partner tag, aws-apn-id, so when multiple Partners contributed to the same workload, only one Partner received attribution. With this update, each Partner tags the resources they contribute to using a new key in the format aws-apn-id-. When more than one Partner tags the same resource, each tagged Partner receives revenue attribution. This benefits Partner…

Amazon Redshift now makes it easier to troubleshoot and audit queries on data protected by federated permissions with fine-grained access control (FGAC). Using the new DEBUG permission, data owners can let specific identities see unredacted secure logging records across multiple Redshift data warehouses. With Amazon Redshift federated permissions, you define data permissions once, and Redshift enforces them automatically across every Redshift warehouse in your AWS account. When a query accesses FGAC-protected data, secure logging redacts sensitive values in system table records, such as rewritten query text, error messages, and object names.…

AWS IAM Identity Center's Identity Store APIs now accept the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for a user, group, group membership, or identity store anywhere the APIs previously accepted the resource ID. ARN support is additive and existing integrations continue to work unchanged. If you build on the Identity Store APIs, you may already hold resource ARNs — for example, from IAM policy evaluation, CloudTrail events, or cross-service integrations. Previously, you had to strip the ARN down to the resource ID before calling Identity Store APIs. With this change, you can pass either form directly, simplifying application code and eliminating potential…

AWS Accounts now support phone number verification for primary contact phone numbers. Previously, phone numbers in AWS account contact information were validated for format but never verified through an out-of-band mechanism. Now, customers can verify their phone numbers via SMS one-time passcode (OTP). To verify a phone number, customers initiate verification through the AWS Management Console or programmatically via the new SendPhoneNumberVerification API, which sends a 6-digit OTP. After entering the code, the VerifyPhoneNumber API validates and persists the verified status. When a phone number is changed through the PutContactInformation…

AWS Transfer Family now automatically approves requests to increase your SFTP connector quota up to 1,000 connectors per AWS account in each AWS Region. You can add more connectors as your file transfer needs grow without waiting for manual approval. The default quota remains 100 SFTP connectors per AWS account in each AWS Region, and you continue to request increases in the AWS Service Quotas console. Previously, all quota increases required manual approval. Automatic approval applies to connectors using either service-managed or Amazon VPC Lattice egress. If you need more than 1,000 connectors, submit a higher quota request in the Service …

Developed jointly by AWS and OpenAI, Bedrock Managed Agents (BMA) is built on a customized version of OpenAI's Agents API engineered to be AWS-native and integrated with AWS resources. You can now build agents optimized for OpenAI models that run entirely inside AWS with the identities, permissions, and governance controls you already use. BMA manages how the model preserves state, selects and uses tools, executes code, and coordinates work across multiple steps and decisions. Durable sessions retain messages, tool calls, and intermediate results so you can return later, provide new information, and continue from the progress already made. Y…

Amazon RDS now displays the full snapshot size for RDS Snapshots. With this enhancement, customers can now retrieve full snapshot sizes programmatically through the DescribeDBSnapshots API using the new field, ‘FullSnapshotSizeInBytes’. They can also view this on the console with the ‘Full Snapshot Size’ column. Amazon RDS snapshots are incremental. This means that if you take multiple snapshots of a volume over time, each snapshot only stores the new or modified blocks while maintaining references to unchanged blocks from previous snapshots. The ‘FullSnapshotSizeInBytes’ field shows you the total size of all blocks that make up a snapshot, …

Today, Amazon WorkSpaces Applications announces unified graphics images, a single image type that works across all supported graphics instance families, including G4dn, G5, G6, and G7. Previously, each graphics generation required its own dedicated image. Now customers can use one image to create and manage fleets on any supported graphics instance family. Unified graphics images simplify image management and make it easier to adopt newer GPU generations as they become available. When creating a fleet using the unified graphics image, the console displays all compatible instance types, so you can choose the right price and performance for yo…

Amazon Connect Customer now lets administrators store more of the reference data that drives their contact center configurations. Administrators can now use data tables to hold up to 20,000 values per table for defining configurations such as operating hours, escalation rules, AI agent prompts or queue assignments that drive contact flows. Administrators can now also export tables, edit hundreds of records, move tables between Connect Customer instances, or load reference data from external systems using tools and sources such as Excel and DynamoDB. Business teams can keep this data current themselves, adjusting their contact center configur…
