AWS IoT Device Management now offers Wi-Fi Simple Setup (WSS) for managed integrations, enabling developers to implement simplified Wi-Fi provisioning in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. With WSS, developers can now integrate QR code scanning functionality that empowers end users to connect their Wi-Fi enabled devices using simple bar code scans, reducing device setup time and minimizing the need for technical support compared to manual configurations. The WSS capability operates through the managed integrations feature of AWS IoT Device Management. Managed integrations enables developers to control and manage devices across different vendors and connectivity protocols, while WSS helps streamline the device onboarding process. Once users securely store their Wi-Fi credentials in managed integrations, new device setup becomes nearly automatic. Users simply power on their new IoT device and scan its QR code using the solution provider's mobile app. The new device discovers

API keys for Amazon Bedrock are now available in AWS GovCloud (US) regions, expanding a feature that simplifies authentication and accelerates generative AI development. Originally launched in commercial AWS regions in July 2025, API keys for Amazon Bedrock enable developers to quickly generate access credentials directly within the Amazon Bedrock console or AWS SDK without needing to manually configure IAM principals and policies. With the introduction of API keys for Amazon Bedrock, developers can generate short-term and long-term API keys directly from the Amazon Bedrock console or API to authenticate API calls to Amazon Bedrock models. Short-term API keys are valid for the duration of your console session, or up to 12 hours, whichever is shorter. Long-term API keys give you the flexibility to define key validity duration and manage the keys from the AWS IAM console. Bedrock API key authentication is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) and commercial

AWS Transform custom now supports AWS PrivateLink and is available in a new AWS Region, Europe (Frankfurt), in addition to the US East (N. Virginia) Region.

The agent is designed for enterprise development teams and consulting partners who need to execute consistent, repeatable code transformations across large codebases. With AWS Transform custom, teams can create custom transformation definitions using natural language, documentation, and code samples, or use AWS-managed transformations for common scenarios including Java, Python, and Node.js version upgrades. Through continual learning, the service improves transformation quality with every execution over time. With AWS PrivateLink support, customers can now access AWS Transform custom from their Amazon VPC without routing traffic over the p

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) IP Address Manager (IPAM) now supports policies for Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances and Application Load Balancers (ALB). This feature enables IP administrators to centrally configure and enforce IP allocation strategies for these resources, improving operational posture and simplifying network and security management. Using IPAM policies, IP administrators can centrally define public IP allocation rules for AWS resources, such as RDS instances, Application Load Balancers and Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateways when used in regional availability mode, and Elastic IP addresses. The IP allocation policy configured centrally cannot be superseded by individual application teams, ensuring compliance at all times. Before this feature, IP administrators had to educate database administrators and application developers about IP allocation requirements for RDS instances and Application Load Balancers, and rely on them to a

The enhanced view delivers improved performance, with pages loading in mili seconds instead of minutes. Even customers with tens of thousands of transactions can now access their complete transaction history without timeouts. The enhanced view introduces new capabilities including comprehensive balance tracking, clear transaction status indicators, and advanced filtering options. Key improvements include consolidated visibility into invoice statuses, clear +/- indicators for amounts owed versus funds available, and the ability to view records in a single view without performance im

Amazon Connect now makes it easier to manage contact center operating hours for recurring events like holidays, maintenance windows, and promotional periods, with a visual calendar that provides at-a-glance visibility by day, month, or year. You can set up recurring overrides that automatically take effect weekly, monthly, or every other Friday, and use them to provide customers with personalized experiences, all without having to manually revisit configurations. For example, every January 1st you can automatically greet customers with "Happy New Year!" and route them to a special holiday message before checking if agents are available, then on January 2nd your contact center automatically returns to normal operations. These additional hours of operation override capabilities are available in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is availa
