Amazon SageMaker Inference now supports OpenAI-compatible APIs, so you can use the tools and frameworks you already know, like the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, and Strands Agents, to connect directly to your SageMaker endpoints. Switching requires nothing more than changing an endpoint URL — no custom integration code, no SDK wrappers, no rewrites. With this launch, you no longer need to adopt a different API format or change your authentication approach. Simply change your endpoint URL, and your existing SDK calls, streaming logic, and framework integrations continue to work as-is. You immediately gain the ability to choose your own GPU instances, keep data in your own VPC, run any open source or fine-tuned model, and scale with auto-scaling policies tuned to your workload. Authentication uses existing AWS credentials with automatic token refresh, so there is nothing extra to manage in production. This capability is available today in US East (N. Virginia), US West (O

Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition now supports MySQL 8.4, a community MySQL Long Term Support (LTS) major version. Aurora MySQL 8.4 launches with compatibility for community MySQL 8.4.7 and introduces aligned version numbering, so the version number you run on Aurora matches the community MySQL version it is compatible with. Aurora also manages the underlying patch on your behalf, simplifying day-to-day operations. Aurora MySQL now targets major versions within 12 months of community MySQL LTS releases, minor versions within 3 months of each community minor, and an Aurora LTS minor within 12 months of each major. For engine specific release objectives, see the Aurora and RDS open source release calendar announcement. Aurora MySQL 8.4 strengthens security defaults for new clusters. TL

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Custom for SQL Server now supports the latest General Distribution Release (GDR) updates for Microsoft SQL Server. This release includes support for SQL Server 2019 CU32+GDR KB5084816 (RDS version 15.00.4465.1.v1) and SQL Server 2022 CU24+GDR KB5083252 (RDS version 16.00.4250.1.v1). The GDR updates address vulnerabilities described in CVE-2026-32167 and CVE-2026-32176. For additional information on the improvements and fixes included in these updates, see Microsoft documentation for KB5084816, KB5083252. You can upgrade your Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server instances to apply these recommended updates using Amazon RDS Management Console, or by

Amazon Bedrock customers can now attribute model inference usage to specific teams, applications, environments, and experiments at the individual request level on the InvokeModel and InvokeModelWithResponseStream APIs. This gives customers fine-grained visibility into how their Amazon Bedrock usage is distributed across their organization, helping them understand consumption patterns, optimize spend, and report usage back to internal stakeholders without provisioning additional resources. This launch builds on Amazon Bedrock's existing portfolio of usage attribution capabilities. Customers can already attribute model inference usage at the resource and identity level using application inference profiles, IAM principal-based attribution, project-level tracking on the OpenAI-compatible bedrock-mantle endpoint, and workspace-level tracking for Anthropic Claude models. For finer-grained, per-request attribution, the Converse and ConverseStream APIs have supported reques

Today, AWS Security Hub brings identity risk into the same unified console where central security teams already manage threats, exposures, and posture findings. Security Hub now detects unused IAM permissions, roles, and credentials across your AWS organization, helping central security teams identify and reduce identity risk at scale. Until now, managing identity risk across hundreds of accounts required toggling between multiple tools, with no unified view connecting unused permissions to actual resource exposure. Security Hub now surfaces these identity risks alongside threats, exposures, and posture findings in a unified console, enabling teams to prioritize remediation based on actual organizational risk. When you enable Security Hub for your organization, a service-linked IAM Access Analyzer is automatically created in each member account with no additional configuration required. Security Hub evaluates IAM principals against 90 days of actual access activity, detects

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) Serverless, an on-demand, auto-scaling configuration for DocumentDB, is now available on version 8.0. Amazon DocumentDB Serverless automatically scales capacity up or down in fine-grained increments based on your application's demand, offering up to 90% cost savings compared to provisioning for peak capacity. DocumentDB 8.0 improves query latency by up to 7x and compression ratio by up to 5x, while adding compatibility with MongoDB API versions 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0. It also introduces enhanced vector search with up to 30x faster index builds, new aggregation stages and operators, and support for collation and views. DocumentDB Serverless is available for both new and existing clusters on Amazon DocumentDB 8.0. You can use the in-place major version upgrade (MVU) to convert your Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 clusters to Amazon DocumentDB 8.0 clusters. Please see

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports data quality rule authoring and evaluation, powered by AWS Glue Data Quality. Data engineers, analysts, and data scientists can define data quality rules, run ruleset evaluations, and view results directly within SageMaker Unified Studio for both data at rest in catalog tables and data in transit within Visual ETL jobs. This helps you catch data quality issues before bad data enters your data lakes or affects downstream analytics and machine learning workloads. With this launch, you can author rules using the same Data Quality Definition Language (DQDL) used in AWS Glue Data Quality and run evaluations directly in SageMaker Unified Studio across two workflows. For data at rest, a dedicated Data Quality tab on catalog assets provides rule authoring, on-demand or scheduled evaluations, and detailed per-rule pass/fail results. For data in transit, you can add an Evaluate Data Quality transform to any Visual ETL job, and review data

Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced version 0.1 of ExtendDB, an open source project that implements the Amazon DynamoDB API with pluggable storage backends. Amazon DynamoDB is a serverless, fully managed NoSQL database with single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. ExtendDB enables application developers, platform teams, and enterprise architects to use the DynamoDB programming model in environments where the DynamoDB managed service is not available, including developer laptops, on-premises data centers, and disconnected edge sites, without rewriting application code. ExtendDB implements the DynamoDB control plane and data plane APIs, including operations on tables, items, and streams. The reference storage backend at launch is PostgreSQL, and the pluggable architecture allows the community to add new storage backends without modifying the core adapter. Developers can use ExtendDB for high-fidelity local development and continuous integration testing, and o

AWS Billing Conductor Console now enables you to see which accounts have received or accepted billing transfer invites but still lack access to pro forma billing data.
