AWS RTB Fabric now supports configurable Availability Zone (AZ) affinity for responder gateways. With this capability, you can configure how your partners connect to your responder gateway: either in their own Availability Zone or to any Availability Zone that the gateway spans. This launch helps advertising technology (AdTech) companies use their infrastructure more efficiently—with no extra charges on RTB Fabric. Demand-side platforms (DSPs) and supply-side platforms (SSPs) run their bidding systems across multiple Availability Zones. Previously, AWS RTB Fabric sent each request to available gateway capacity in the requester's own Availabi…

Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) now supports message payloads up to 1 MiB, a 4x increase from the previous 256 KiB limit, so you can publish larger messages to your SNS topics. Amazon SNS is a fully managed pub/sub messaging service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. As workloads such as application integration, IoT, and generative AI increasingly exchange larger volumes of data in a single message, the previous 256 KiB limit required customers to offload or split payloads before publishing. With this launch, you can publish message payloads up to 1 MiB by s…

Today, AWS announces the availability of the next generation of AgentCore Runtime, the serverless microVM compute within Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The new Runtime delivers elastic memory management that reclaims unused memory throughout the session so you pay for actual usage rather than the peak, and consistent cold start times regardless of container image size or concurrency. You get the serverless model you already rely on: no pre-provisioning, scale to zero, hardware-enforced session isolation, and pay only for what you use - now with lower costs and faster starts. With the new Runtime, each session starts with a small, efficient memory…

AWS PrivateLink customers can now use VPC endpoint to privately and securely access network segments in another VPC/account. They can use a ‘tunnel’ endpoint, a new type of VPC endpoint, to tunnel into the network segment and access resources located within it. AWS PrivateLink is a highly available and scalable technology that enables private access across VPC and account boundaries to load balanced services, appliances, and resources such as databases and domains. Prior to this launch, customers who wanted to share their resources with another party such as an external vendor had to do it one at a time by creating a Resource Configuration f…

AWS Elastic Beanstalk introduces Cluster Mode, a new deployment mode that lets you run and manage multiple applications on shared infrastructure in your account. Provide your source code, a Dockerfile, or a container image in Amazon ECR, and Elastic Beanstalk handles containerization, provisioning, and ongoing operations through the console, CLI, and APIs you already use. A new Elastic Beanstalk GitHub Action deploys your application directly from your repository as part of your CI/CD pipeline. AWS Elastic Beanstalk deploys, scales, and manages your applications for their full lifecycle while handling the infrastructure, so you can focus on …

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now provides a consolidated deployment view for Amazon ECS Managed Daemons, giving you a single place to see how far a deployment has progressed, what is failing, and what could stop it. This helps you monitor Managed Daemon deployments at a glance and resolve issues faster, whether a rollout is in progress or you are reviewing what happened after it completed, eliminating the need to piece together deployment status from multiple sources. The deployment view presents a lifecycle timeline with timestamps at each step and the total deployment duration, including the rollback path if a deployment i…
