AWS Budgets lets you set custom cost and usage thresholds and alerts you by email when your spending crosses the threshold. AWS Budgets now verifies new email subscribers before sending them budget alerts. When you add an email address to a budget notification, AWS Budgets sends a verification email to that address, and the address begins receiving notifications once the recipient confirms it. Verification applies to email addresses added from 9/30/26 onward. Addresses already subscribed on existing budgets are unaffected and need no action. For a new address, the recipient confirms it by following the link in the verification email, which o…

Amazon EMR Serverless now offers enhanced serverless storage capabilities with support for up to 1TB shuffle operations, raising the previous 200 GB per-job limit. Amazon EMR Serverless makes it simple for data engineers and data scientists to run open-source big data analytics frameworks without configuring, managing, and scaling clusters or servers. This enhancement enables enterprise customers to run production-scale Apache Spark workloads that require processing large volumes of shuffle data during complex operations such as joins, aggregations, and sorting. Enterprise data teams can now confidently migrate production workloads that rout…

IAM Identity Center helps you connect your workforce identities to AWS once and streamline access management to AWS accounts and applications. You can now replicate IAM Identity Center to opt-in AWS Regions, and between Regions within the AWS GovCloud (US) and AWS China Regions. Previously, multi-Region support was available in the enabled-by-default commercial AWS Regions. This helps you improve the resilience of user access to AWS accounts and deploy AWS applications in the AWS Regions that best align with your business needs. When you enable multi-Region support, IAM Identity Center automatically replicates your identities, entitlements, …

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…
