AWS Lambda now supports direct read configuration for Amazon S3 Files, letting you configure which storage your functions read from: S3 Files high-performance storage or your S3 bucket. With this launch, you can optimize the throughput and latency of file reads for your Lambda functions based on your application requirements. Customers use S3 Files with Lambda functions to build scalable data processing pipelines and stateful agentic workloads with the performance and simplicity of a file system, while benefiting from the scalability, durability, and cost-effectiveness of S3. S3 Files serves data from high-performance storage for low latency…

AWS announces the availability of TwelveLabs Marengo 3.0 as an embedding model in Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, enabling customers to create multimodal embeddings for video, audio, and image content. Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base already supports media search by transcribing audio and video to text and generating text-based embeddings—Marengo 3.0 goes further by encoding visual scenes, speech, and video cues directly into multimodal embeddings, capturing meaning that transcription alone cannot. Simply upload your media assets from data sources such as Amazon S3, sync, and search using natural language—with no infrastructure …

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports the Supplemental Patch Bundle (SPB) for the July 2026 Release Update (RU) for Oracle Database version 19c and 26ai. Starting with April 2026 releases, the Oracle Spatial Patch Bundle has been renamed to Supplemental Patch Bundle (SPB). The SPB includes additional database patches recommended by Oracle for specific use cases, such as Oracle Spatial, Oracle Data Pump, and Oracle GoldenGate. For details, see Release Updates (RUs) and Supplemental Patch Bundles (SPBs). You can apply the Supplemental Patch Bundle update for new database instances, or upgrade existing instance…

Amazon API Gateway now supports configurable delivery destinations and larger log events for REST API execution logs. Previously, execution logs were delivered to a single API Gateway-managed CloudWatch Logs log group with log events truncated at 1 KB, limiting visibility into request and response data. You can now route execution logs up to 1 MB to your own Amazon CloudWatch Logs log groups, Amazon S3 buckets, or Amazon Data Firehose streams, and deliver to multiple destinations simultaneously. For example, you can route execution logs to Amazon S3 in Apache Parquet format for cost-efficient long-term storage and analysis with Amazon Athena…

Today, AWS announced that AWS Transform for .NET can automatically generate unit tests for the code it modernizes. When enabled, AWS Transform generates unit tests that target the testable classes in your transformed .NET application, such as business logic and controllers, giving you an automated test safety net on the modernized code as part of the same job that performs the migration. Modernizing a .NET Framework application to modern .NET produces a transformed, buildable codebase, but teams previously had to write test coverage for that modernized code by hand. With this launch, AWS Transform assesses your application for testability in…

AWS Lambda recursive loop detection is now supported for functions running in Europe Sovereign Cloud. Recursive loop detection automatically detects and stops recursive invocations between Lambda functions and other supported services, preventing unexpected billing caused by unintended recursive loops. Customers use event sources such as Amazon S3, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SNS to build event driven applications that trigger Lambda functions. Misconfiguration or code defect can cause events to be sent back to the same source that triggered the Lambda function, causing recursive loops and unintended usage. When such a loop is detected, recursive…

In Kubernetes, resource allocation has historically been a static decision made during a Pod's initial scheduling and placement. With the graduation of the core in-Place Pod resize feature to General Availability in v1.35, application developers and cluster operators gained the powerful ability to dynamically adjust CPU and memory allocations of running containers without incurring disruptive restarts or application downtime. However, in-place resizing introduced a unique resource scheduling gap: if a running Pod requested a resource scale-up that exceeded the host node's allocatable headroom, the Kubelet was forced to mark the request as De…

Today, AWS announces the general availability of second-generation single-rack AWS Outposts, a self-contained 42U rack that integrates compute, storage and networking into a single compact unit purpose-built for workloads requiring low latency, local data processing, and data residency in space and power constrained locations. A single-rack Outposts delivers up to 2,688 vCPU and 100 TB of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) storage. Moreover, like multi-rack Outposts, single-rack Outposts support the latest x86-powered EC2 instances, including general purpose (M7i, M8i), compute-optimized (C7i, C8i), memory-optimized (R7i, R8i), and Outp…

You can now build full-stack search and AI applications in minutes using Amazon OpenSearch Serverless on v0 by Vercel, an AI-powered platform that transforms your ideas into production-ready web applications. OpenSearch Serverless eliminates infrastructure management and automatically scales capacity up and down based on demand, so you can focus on building and not managing clusters. With this launch, you can use natural language prompts to build applications powered by OpenSearch Serverless for full-text search and vector search for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads, all without leaving the v0 interface. To get started, simply …

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports the IAM condition keys for CPU and memory resources on the RunTask and StartTask APIs. Administrators can use these keys to enforce consistent CPU and memory limits across all methods of launching ECS tasks. This helps organizations prevent unexpected cost overruns and keep workloads aligned with their resource policies. Previously, the ecs:task-cpu and ecs:task-memory condition keys were available only on the RegisterTaskDefinition, CreateService, and UpdateService APIs. These condition keys are now extended on the RunTask and StartTask APIs. Now, IAM policies that reference these c…

With synthetic monitors in Amazon CloudWatch Network Monitoring, you can now determine whether a network performance issue on a path that crosses an AWS Transit Gateway inter-Region peering connection is caused by the AWS network. This helps network operators and application developers cut the time spent isolating the source of degradation on these paths. Previously, for synthetic monitors, the network health indicator (NHI) covered only paths that connect through AWS Direct Connect. With this release, synthetic monitors extend it to paths that reach a destination in a peered Region over Transit Gateway inter-Region peering. For these paths,…

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now supports Low-Latency HTTP Live Streaming (LL-HLS) ad insertion using HLS Interstitials. MediaTailor is a channel assembly and personalized ad insertion service for video providers that monetizes live streams, linear channels, and video-on-demand content. With this launch, video providers can insert ads into low-latency live streams while holding the reduced latency their viewers expect. LL-HLS reduces live latency by delivering partial segments and letting players hold a playlist request open until the next segment part is ready, which requires media playlists to be cacheable at the content delivery network (CDN…
