Security Hub Extended is a plan of Security Hub that helps simplify how you procure, deploy, and integrate a full-stack enterprise security solution across endpoint, identity, email, network, data, browser, cloud, AI, and security operations. With today's expansion, you now have more choice within each category, selecting between established leaders and fast-growing inno

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.  

Today, AWS announces the general availability of a new AWS Local Zone in Istanbul, Türkiye, bringing AWS infrastructure closer to end users, while enabling organizations to meet data residency requirements by storing and backing up data locally. AWS Local Zones are AWS infrastructure deployments that extend core services, such as compute, storage, networking, and other select services, closer to metropolitan areas worldwide. AWS Local Zones help you achieve single-digit millisecond latency for end-user workloads, meet data residency requirements, support AI/ML inference workloads, and accelerate migration and modernization of legacy applications to the cloud, all while maintaining consistent AWS APIs, tools, and services as AWS Regions. AWS Local Zones are available in more than 30 metropolitan areas worldwide. The AWS Local Zone in Istanbul supports Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with C7i, M7i, and R7i instances, Amazon S3 with the One Zone-Infrequent Ac

Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports data capture for inference workloads, a new capability that records inference request and response payloads from production endpoints to Amazon S3. Customers deploying generative AI models on HyperPod need visibility into model inputs and outputs to detect drift, troubleshoot production issues, build evaluation datasets, and continuously improve their deployed models, but previously had to build custom logging pipelines outside of the service to obtain this visibility. With data capture, customers can train speculative decoding draft models from their real production traffic for better performance than generic draft models, build evaluation pipelines from production data, feed fine-tuning jobs with real-world inputs, and maintain audit trails for compliance. Customers choose where to capture inference traffic on each endpoint, at the SageMaker endpoint, the load balancer, or the model pod. Captured data is delivered asynchronously to th

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) now supports Apache Airflow version 3.2, the latest major release of the popular open-source workflow orchestration framework. Amazon MWAA is a managed service that lets you run Apache Airflow at scale without managing the underlying infrastructure. This release brings new data-aware scheduling capabilities and developer productivity improvements to teams building and operating data pipelines on AWS. With Apache Airflow 3.2, you can now use asset partitioning to trigger downstream DAGs based on specific slices of data, such as a date-partitioned S3 path, rather than an entire asset, giving data engineering teams more precise control over pipeline execution. This release also expands Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) capabilities with a full audit history view for approvals, HITL support for the AgenticOperator, and synchronous callback support for Deadline Alerts. Additional improvements include Grid View virtualization for faster re

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now enables you to pause service deployments at critical stages during deployment progression and continue deployments when ready. You can use these pause points to introduce manual decision points and interactive controls into your deployments for scenarios such as manual approval workflows, operational checks, integration tests, or custom automation, while continuing to use native Amazon ECS deployment strategies with managed traffic shifting, bake times, fast rollbacks, CloudWatch alarms, and deployment circuit breaker. With this launch, you can configure a new PAUSE deployment lifecycle hook as part of your Amazon ECS service deployment configuration. When a deployment reaches a configured pause point, Amazon ECS pauses deployment progression and emits Amazon EventBridge events that you can use to trigger automation workflows, approval systems, or external validation p

Today, AWS announces the availability of Amazon Inspector in the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region. Amazon Inspector is an automated vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads including Amazon EC2 instances, container images, and AWS Lambda functions for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure across your AWS Organization.  With this expansion, Amazon Inspector extends its security coverage to AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region, designed to help customers automatically discover workloads, conduct continuous vulnerability assessments, and receive actionable security findings. The service is designed to detect newly launched Amazon EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and eligible container images pushed to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and scan them for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure. All accounts new to Amazon Inspector are eligible for a 15-day free trial to evaluate the service and esti

Amazon Managed Grafana now supports dual-stack connectivity, enabling workspaces to communicate over both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Dual-stack mode is available for workspaces running Grafana version 10.4 or later. With dual-stack support, customers can simplify their network stack by eliminating the need to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. Customers migrating to IPv6 can connect to their Grafana workspaces over IPv6 while maintaining IPv4 compatibility, and those not yet on IPv6 can continue using IPv4-only connections. This is especially beneficial as the continued growth of the internet exhausts available IPv4 addresses.  Support for dual-stack connectivity on Amazon Managed Grafana is available in all regions where the service is generally availa

Today, AWS announces the addition of AWS Local Zones to the Region selector in the AWS Management Console, providing a unified experience across AWS global infrastructure. AWS Local Zones now appear alongside AWS Regions in the Console's top navigation, making it easier for customers to quickly navigate to the Console page for managing their resources in AWS Local Zones. Now, when customers select the Local Zones tab in the Region selector, they will see all opted-in AWS Local Zones in one place. Clicking on an AWS Local Zone takes customers directly to its parent Region's Console page to view and manage resources. This capability streamlines navigation for customers operating across multiple AWS Local Zones parented to different AWS Regions. This capability is available across all AWS Local Zones in public AWS Regions. To get started, navigate to the Region selector in the AWS Management Console. For more information, se
