Amazon CloudWatch Logs customers can now run up to 100 concurrent queries per account using  Logs Insights Query Language (Logs Insights QL). Customers can also execute 10 StartQuery API and 10 GetQueryResults API calls per second per account/per-region using Logs Insights QL.  With concurrency increasing from 30 to 100, more users can simultaneously run queries and leverage dashboards using Logs Insights QL. Customers using StartQuery and GetQueryResults APIs for Logs Insights QL benefit from higher limits without being throttled, enabling them to execute more queries and view results faster. The limit increases for Logs Insights queries is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Canada (Calgary), South America (São Paulo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Milan), Europe (Zurich), Europe (Spain), Africa (Cape Town), M

We are announcing User Preferences in Amazon Quick Suite – a new feature that gives users greater control over how Quick looks, feels, and works for them. With User Preferences, users can now customize their Chat panel layout by setting it to open expanded or collapsed by default; Quick also automatically remembers their last used setting and resumes from where they left off. Users can select a default chat agent and pre-select a default knowledge scope for My Assistant, so their preferred agent is ready each time they return to Quick. Users can also personalize their experience by letting Quick know what to call them and sharing their area of focus at work – Quick uses this context to personalize responses and make interactions more relevant. Finally, users can view and manage their memories directly from User Preferences. Previously, users had no way to persist their preferred Chat settings, agent selection, or personal context across sessions. User Preferences addres

Amazon Cognito is now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) and Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Regions. This launch introduces all Amazon Cognito features and tiers, allowing customers to implement secure sign-in and access control for users, AI agents, and microservices in minutes. For a full list of regions where Amazon Cognito is available, refer to the AWS Region Table. To learn more about Amazon Cognito, refer to Developer Guide, Product Detail Page, and Pricing Detail Page.

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere now supports the FIPS 204 Module-Lattice Digital Signature Standard (ML-DSA), a quantum-resistant digital signature algorithm standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help protect against threat actors in possession of a large-scale quantum computer. ML-DSA is particularly valuable for IAM Roles Anywhere customers who authenticate workloads to AWS using X.509 certificates issued by certificate authorities, where a weakened signature algorithm could allow an unintended user to issue certificates and obtain unauthorized access. IAM Roles Anywhere enables workloads running outside of AWS to obtain temporary AWS credentials using X.509 certificates to access AWS resources. You establish trust between your AWS environment and your public key infrastructure (PKI) by creating a t

Starting today, Amazon EC2 G7e instances accelerated by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs are now available in  Asia Pacific (Seoul) and Europe (Spain) regions. G7e instances offer up to 2.3x inference performance compared to G6e. Customers can use G7e instances to deploy large language models (LLMs), agentic AI models, multimodal generative AI models, and physical AI models. G7e instances offer the highest performance for spatial computing workloads as well as workloads that require both graphics and AI processing capabilities. G7e instances feature up to 8 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, with 96 GB of memory per GPU, and 5th Generation Intel Xeon processors. They support up to 192 virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and up to 1600 Gbps of networking bandwidth. G7e instances support NVIDIA GPUDirect Peer to Peer (P2P) that boosts performance for multi-GPU workloads. Multi-GPU G7e instances also support NVIDIA GPUDirect Remote Direct Memory Access (R

Amazon Redshift now supports nine new array functions for working with semi-structured data stored in the SUPER data type. The new functions include ARRAY_CONTAINS, ARRAY_DISTINCT, ARRAY_EXCEPT, ARRAY_INTERSECTION, ARRAY_POSITION, ARRAY_POSITIONS, ARRAY_SORT, ARRAY_UNION, and ARRAYS_OVERLAP, enabling you to search, compare, sort, and transform arrays directly within your SQL queries. Previously, performing these operations required writing complex custom PartiQL SQL logic. These functions simplify complex data transformations and reduce query complexity by enabling sophisticated array operations in a single SQL statement. For example, you can use ARRAY_CONTAINS and ARRAY_POSITION for element lookup, ARRAY_INTERSECTION and ARRAY_EXCEPT for set operations, or ARRAY_SORT and ARRAY_DISTINCT to organize and deduplicate data. These functions are particul

Amazon Redshift now supports templates for the COPY command, allowing you to store and reuse frequently used COPY parameters. This new feature enables you to create reusable templates that contain commonly utilized formatting parameters, eliminating the need to manually specify parameters for each COPY operation. Templates help maintain consistency across data ingestion operations that use the COPY command. They also reduce the time and effort required to execute COPY commands. You can create standardized configurations for different file types and data sources, ensuring consistent parameter usage across your teams and reducing the likelihood of errors caused by manual input. When parameters need to be updated, changes to the template automatically apply to all future uses, simplifying maintenance and improving operation

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8g instances are available in AWS Middle East (UAE), AWS Mexico (Central), and AWS Europe (Zurich) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances. Amazon EC2 R8g instances are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads. AWS Graviton4-based Amazon EC2 instances deliver the best performance and energy efficiency for a broad range of workloads running on Amazon EC2. AWS Graviton4-based R8g instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPU (up to 48xlarge) and memory (up to 1.5TB) than Gra

Amazon Redshift Serverless now preserves datashare permissions when you restore a snapshot to the same namespace, simplifying data sharing workflows and reducing administrative overhead. Previously, restoring a serverless namespace from a snapshot required administrators to manually re-grant datashare permissions to consumer clusters and recreate consumer databases, even when restoring to the same namespace. With this enhancement, datashare permissions are automatically maintained when you restore a snapshot to the same producer namespace, provided the datashare permission existed both when the snapshot was taken and on the current namespace. For consumer namespaces, datashare access remains unchanged after restore, eliminating the need for producer administrators to re-grant permissions. This streamlines disaster recovery and testing workflows by reducing manual configuration steps and potential errors. Amazon Redshift also provides EventBridge notifications to alert y

Multi-party approval (MPA) now supports MPA administrators running test approvals to confirm that their approval team is set up correctly and that approvers are active and reachable. With this new capability, customers ensure their approval teams do not become unresponsive due to natural attrition, incorrect approver selection, or reduced engagement. MPA administrators and security teams can now proactively assess their approval configurations before relying on them for sensitive operations. The baseline feature enables proactive team health management by allowing manual initiation of test approval sessions through the AWS Organizations console. Customers can verify approver availability, identify inactive team members, and maintain compliance with internal governance requirements. Key use cases include regular team responsiveness verification, recommended every 90 days by AWS using the MPA Console, onboarding validation for new approval configurations, and operation health
