Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports interactive shells through a new InvokeAgentRuntimeCommandShell API, opening a persistent, PTY-backed terminal directly into a running agent session over WebSocket. This complements the existing InvokeAgentRuntimeCommand API for one-shot execution, giving developers a full terminal experience inside an isolated microVM with colors, tab completion, Ctrl+C, terminal resize, and automatic reconnect on network drop. This is particularly important for developers hosting coding agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Amazon Kiro on AgentCore Runtime. In addition to the asynchronous command execution they already had, they can now authenticate, drop into the microVM hosting their coding agent, and interact with it like a local terminal: interact with the agent, inspect files, run ad-hoc commands, or debug the environment state. The shell carries persistent state across commands within the same session, so environment variables, worki

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with AWS Fargate now supports 32vCPU compute configurations, enabling customers to run more demanding applications with greater flexibility and performance. AWS Fargate offers 32vCPU tasks with the following memory configurations: 60 GiB, 120 GiB, or 244 GiB, for both x86-based and ARM-based workloads on Linux. These new task sizes extend Amazon ECS’s capability to support high-performance computing use-cases, large-scale data processing, AI inference, and other compute-intensive workloads. With 32vCPUs and up to 244 GiB of memory, Amazon ECS customers can now deploy larger containers and scale applications beyond previous limits, all while leveraging the reliability, security, and scalability of AWS Fargate. To use the new 32vCPU task sizes, simply configure your task definitions to specify 32 as the vCPU value and select one of the new memory options (60, 120, or 244 GiB), then deploy your Amazon ECS services or tasks as usu

Today, AWS announced cross-account and cross-role access for the AWS Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS. This feature allows developers using AI coding agents like Kiro, Claude Code, or Codex to work across multiple AWS accounts and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles within a single session, with no restarts required. Previously, switching profiles required stopping the AI coding session, updating local AWS credentials, and restarting the MCP server for every account change. Now, AI agents using the AWS MCP Server can specify a profile on each command, allowing users to switch between accounts and roles seamlessly. Cross-account access helps developers move faster across multi-account environments. For example, a DevOps engineer can query CloudWatch logs across production and staging accounts to diagnose a performance issue, or an applicat

Amazon SageMaker Data Agent now integrates with SageMaker Catalog business context and metadata, enabling data practitioners to discover datasets and generate more accurate SQL and Python code using business terminology instead of cryptic technical table names. This integration allows the Data Agent to leverage the business context that companies have invested months curating in their SageMaker Catalog, including those synced from Collibra, Atlan, and Alation, to deliver more accurate data discovery and code generation. With this capability, data practitioners can ask questions like "Calculate customer retention rate" or "What data do I have on customer churn?" and the Data Agent will search glossary terms, custom metadata forms, asset summaries, and README content to identify the correct tables and columns. The agent generates more accurate code on first attempt by understanding business context, plans multi-step workflows with the correct sequence of tables and transformat

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Capabilities can now be configured as log delivery sources using Amazon CloudWatch Vended Logs. This enables customers to monitor and troubleshoot their EKS Capabilities for Argo CD, AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), and kro (Kubernetes Resource Orchestrator) by monitoring logs collected from the managed controllers that run in AWS-managed infrastructure. Customers can enable log delivery for each capability using CloudWatch APIs or the AWS Console. Logs are configured as a CloudWatch Vended Logs delivery source, enabling reliable, secure log delivery to CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose destinations. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where the EKS Capabilities feature is supported. Standard CloudWatch Vended Logs pricing applies based on the chosen destination. There is no additional EKS charge. To learn more about EKS Capabili

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora DSQL, and Amazon DynamoDB serverless databases are now available on Vercel Marketplace and v0 by Vercel in additional AWS Regions, offering you more flexibility to build applications with Vercel and AWS databases from the Regions of your choice. To get started, you can describe your idea in v0 using natural language. The tool automatically generates a spec-driven design, deploys code and infrastructure, and stores your application data in the AWS database that best fits your needs with no hands-on coding or provisioning required. Vercel provides an end-to-end setup experience where you can create database resources in seconds under a new AWS account or link to an existing one, all without leaving Vercel. New AWS accounts created

Amazon Cognito now supports multi-Region replication, enabling you to synchronize user and machine identity data — including credentials, user pool configurations, and federation setups — to a secondary user pool in a standby Region you designate in near real-time. This capability helps you improve the resilience of your authentication system by providing a standby replica that can accept traffic in case there is a regional service disruption. In the event of a disruption in the primary Region, you can redirect traffic to the secondary user pool. Signed-in users continue accessing their applications without re-authenticating, and registered users can sign in with their existing credentials. Authentication methods continue to work in the secondary Region, including username/password, federation with social identity and SAML/OIDC providers, and machine-to-machine authorization flows. Multi-Region replication is available as an add-on for user pools in Essentials or Plus fe

AWS Deadline Cloud now gives you an easier way to deliver plugins to cloud workers when using service-managed fleets. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps teams run compute-intensive workloads in the cloud for visual effects, animation, product design, simulation, and gaming. Previously, deploying plugins to cloud workers required custom scripting or manual configuration for each digital content creation (DCC) application and version. With this feature, you upload your plugin files to a prescribed path in your queue's job attachments Amazon S3 bucket, much like copying plugins into a shared folder on your workstation, and Deadline Cloud automatically syncs them to workers when a job session starts. This simplifies pipeline setup, reduces configuration errors, and helps you start jobs with the correct plugins in place. Plugin sync is now generally available for Blender and Autodesk Maya, with support for additional DCC applications coming soon. Plu
