Amazon EMR Serverless now supports job run-level cost allocation that provides better visibility into charges for individual job runs by allowing you to configure granular billing attribution at the individual job run level. You can get granular cost visibility by filtering and tracking costs in AWS Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage Reports by specific job run IDs and cost allocation tags associated with job runs. Amazon EMR Serverless is a deployment option in Amazon EMR that 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. Previously, you could assign cost allocation tags to EMR Serverless applications, with cost attribution limited to the application level. With job run-level cost allocation, now you can assign cost allocation tags to each job run, enabling fine-grained billing attribution at the indivi

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports setting up cross-region read replicas in 16 additional AWS Regions. Cross-region read replicas enable customers to provide a replica database for read-only applications closer to users in a different region, and scale out read-only workloads. Since a read replica can be "promoted" to a standalone production database, cross-region read replicas can also be used for disaster recovery in case of regional failures. Customers can setup up to fifteen read replicas in the same or different region as the primary database instance. This launch adds support for cross-region read replicas in RDS for SQL Server in the following AWS Regions: Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Canada West

Amazon MQ now supports the ability for RabbitMQ brokers to perform authentication (determining who can log in) using X.509 client certificates with mutual TLS (mTLS). The RabbitMQ auth_mechanism_ssl plugin can be configured on brokers running RabbitMQ version 4.2 and above on Amazon MQ by making changes to the associated configuration file. To start using certificate based authentication on Amazon MQ, simply select RabbitMQ 4.2 when creating a new broker using the M7g instance type through the AWS Management console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs, and then edit the associated configuration file with the required values. To learn more about the plugin, see the Amazon MQ release notes and the Amazon MQ

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8i and R8i-flex instances are available in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Hyderabad) and Europe (Paris) regions. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, available only on AWS, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. The R8i and R8i-flex instances offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver 20% higher performance than R7i instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. They are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to R7i. R8i-flex, our first memory-optimized Flex instances, are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of memory-intensive workloads. They offer the most common siz

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is now available in the Asia Pacific (Jakarta) region adding to the list of available regions where you can use Amazon DocumentDB. Amazon DocumentDB is a fully managed, native JSON database that makes it simple and cost-effective to operate critical document workloads at virtually any scale without managing infrastructure. Amazon DocumentDB is designed to give you the scalability and durability you need when operating mission-critical MongoDB workloads. Storage scales automatically up to 128TiB without any impact to your application. In addition, Amazon DocumentDB natively integrates with AWS Database Migration Service(DMS), Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Lambda, AWS Backup and more. Amazon DocumentDB supports millions of requests per second and can be scaled out to 15 low latency read replicas in minutes with no application

Amazon Quick is expanding its third-party integrations by adding AI agents and growing its built-in actions library. Quick is Amazon's new AI-powered workspace and agentic teammate that helps organizations get answers from their business data and move quickly from insights to action. As organizations navigate newly adopted AI agents and work with existing enterprise tools for CRM, support, collaboration, and more, users face fragmented experiences. Users are forced to switch between different interfaces, repeat context, and manually stitch together outputs. Quick enables users to work with third-party agents and enterprise tools from a single interface, eliminating the wasted time and cognitive load of constantly switching between applications. With Quick, business users can now invoke specialized agents from Box, Canva, and PagerDuty to accomplish chat and automation tasks. For example, you can pull incident insights from PagerDuty, generate a presentation in Canva, and qu

Today, AWS announces a simplified onboarding experience for AWS Client VPN, introducing a new Quickstart setup method that streamlines the process of creating and configuring Client VPN endpoints. AWS Client VPN allows you to securely connect remote users to AWS resources and on-premises networks. The new Quickstart setup, reduces the number of steps required to set up an Client VPN endpoint. You can now easily set up Client VPN endpoints with pre-defined default configurations, requiring only three key inputs: IPv4 CIDR, server certificate ARN, and subnet selection. For example, development teams in large organizations who use Client VPN for remote access to their VPC resources for quick testing can now create endpoints quickly with the new simplified setup process. The Quickstart method is available alongside the existing Standard Setup option, giving you the flexibility to choose the approach that best fits your deployment needs. Additionally, when you create a
