Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) Serverless is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). Amazon MWAA Serverless eliminates the operational overhead of managing Apache Airflow infrastructure by automatically provisioning and scaling compute resources on demand, with a pay-per-use model that charges only for actual workflow run time. For a full list of supported regions, see the Amazon MWAA Serverless regions page. To learn more, see the Amazon MWAA Serverless documentation.

AWS announces user-managed setup (3LO) for SharePoint, OneDrive, and Confluence data sources in Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base. Previously, configuring these data sources required generating 2LO credentials on the third-party side, which could be time-consuming and inaccessible for users who lack admin-level access to those systems. With user-managed setup, you simply sign in with your existing third-party credentials, and Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base handles authentication—allowing you to complete data source setup in just a few minutes. This streamlined experience lowers the barrier to getting started with managed knowledge…

AWS announces the ServiceNow data source connector for Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, a fully managed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) service. Customers can now connect their ServiceNow instance to crawl knowledge articles and service catalog items directly into their managed knowledge base. Previously, bringing ServiceNow content into Bedrock Knowledge Bases required building and maintaining custom ingestion pipelines—now, you simply provide your ServiceNow instance credentials, and the connector handles data crawling, metadata extraction, and incremental sync automatically. The ServiceNow connector crawls knowledge articles an…

Amazon GuardDuty now offers Custom Detection Rules, a library of 35 prebuilt, opt-in rules for CloudTrail management events that let you extend threat detection coverage to match your environment. Custom Detection Rules produces 26 unique finding types mapped to 10 MITRE ATT&CK® tactics, without the heavy lifting of log ingestion, normalization, or storage. Some threat techniques, such as sharing an AMI externally, disabling flow logs, or signing in without MFA, could be meaningful indicators of compromise in some accounts but routine in others. Custom Detection Rules lets you enable these detections only where the activity is unexpected — e…

Today, AWS Model Context Protocol Server (AWS MCP Server) added a serverless capability so that coding agents such as Claude Code and Kiro can efficiently diagnose issues with your Lambda functions. The serverless capability helps you troubleshoot your running Lambda functions and their connected resources. The AWS MCP Server, available through the Agent Toolkit for AWS or as a standalone installation, is a managed service that gives AI coding agents secure access to AWS services. With the new serverless capability in the AWS MCP Server, your coding agent inspects your Lambda function and its connected resources across Amazon API Gateway, Am…

AWS Transfer Family SFTP Connectors now continue running file transfers while you rotate the credentials used to authenticate with remote SFTP servers. You no longer need to update the connector to point to a new secret version each time a credential rotates, removing a manual step and helping avoid failed transfers during the rotation window. Connectors can now retrieve credentials from an ordered list of AWS Secrets Manager version stages, such as the current and previous versions, during authentication. The connector automatically tries each version in the order you specify and proceeds with the first that succeeds, so transfers continue …

Starting today, customers can subscribe and manage flat-rate pricing plans programmatically using the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, CloudFormation, CDK, or the PricingPlanManager API. CloudFront flat-rate plans give you one monthly price covering global content delivery, WAF, DDoS, DNS, logging, and edge compute, with no usage-based overage charges regardless of traffic spikes or attacks. Previously, customers could only subscribe to flat-rate pricing plans using the console, which required manual steps when using the API or infrastructure as code (IaC) like CloudFormation to create and manage distributions. Now, customers can programmatically subscrib…

AWS Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) now supports sending TCP Reset (RST) packets when a target becomes unhealthy, is deregistered, or when a flow's idle timeout expires. This feature helps reduce traffic interruptions from minutes to seconds by enabling TCP endpoints to quickly detect failed connections and establish new TCP flows through healthy targets. Previously, when a GWLB target failed, existing TCP connections would continue to be forwarded to the unhealthy target (aka fail-open behavior). Client and server applications could experience interruptions lasting several minutes due to TCP retry and exponential back-off mechanisms built in t…
