Amazon ECS Managed Daemons now support non-critical daemons

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now support non-critical Managed Daemons for ECS Managed Instances. You can configure a daemon as non-critical so that your mission-critical application tasks continue running uninterrupted, even when a daemon fails, stops, or becomes unhealthy. Amazon ECS Managed Daemons lets you centrally deploy and manage software agents independently of application deployments to ensure consistent coverage and compliance across your container infrastructure. For some mission-critical applications, uninterrupted execution of application tasks may matter more than auxiliary daemon functionality like logging or …

Amazon Aurora MySQL now supports multi-source replication and delayed replication

Starting today, Amazon Aurora MySQL supports two new replication capabilities: multi-source replication and delayed replication. Multi-source replication lets a single Aurora MySQL cluster replicate from multiple source databases at the same time, making it easier to consolidate data from separate MySQL databases. This enables critical use-cases, such as merging shards or aggregating data from separate databases (e.g. regional or departmental instances) into a central location for operational workflows, such as reporting and backups. To learn more, please refer to the MySQL multi-source replication documentation. Delayed replication lets you…

AWS Glue zero-ETL adds target table property ownership and conflict detection

AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations now detect table property conflicts and track integration ownership. When you configure a source table and target catalog, Glue associates the resulting table properties with the owning integration, so two integrations can no longer be pointed at the same target table without your knowledge. This works across Amazon S3 Tables and SageMaker Lakehouse catalogs. Data teams running multiple zero-ETL integrations gain predictable control over where each source table lands. If you attempt to create or modify an integration whose table properties are owned by another integration, Glue identifies the owning integration…

Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base now supports multimodal embeddings for video, audio, and image content with TwelveLabs Marengo 3.0

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 …

AWS Transform for .NET now generates unit tests for modernized code

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…

Amazon API Gateway now supports 1 MB execution logs with configurable delivery destinations

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…

AWS Lambda recursive loop detection is now available in Europe Sovereign Cloud

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…

Announcing second-generation single-rack AWS Outposts

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…

Amazon ECS expands IAM condition key support for RunTask and StartTask APIs

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…
