AWS Lambda response streaming is now available in all commercial AWS Regions, bringing full regional parity for this capability. Customers in newly supported Regions can use the InvokeWithResponseStream API to progressively stream response payloads back to clients as data becomes available. Response streaming enables functions to send partial responses to clients incrementally rather than buffering the entire response before transmission. This reduces time-to-first-byte (TTFB) latency and is well suited for latency-sensitive workloads such as LLM-based applications as well as web and mobile applications where users benefit from seeing responses appear incrementally. Response streaming supports payloads up to a default maximum of 200 MB. With this expansion, customers in all commercial Regions can stream responses using the InvokeWithResponseStream API through a supported AWS SDK, or through Amazon API Gateway REST APIs with response streaming enabled. Response stream

AWS Cost Explorer now brings Amazon Q Developer's generative AI capabilities directly into your cost analysis workflows. You can now use natural language queries to ask Amazon Q questions about your AWS cost and usage data. In addition to providing answers to your question, you now also receive automatically updated visualizations in Cost Explorer. This enables faster cost analysis, reduces time to insights, and makes cost visibility accessible to every team member. With this launch, you can start your cost analysis with the new suggested prompts in Cost Explorer. These prompts include commonly asked cost questions like "Show me my top spending services for this month." Amazon Q provides detailed insights while Cost Explorer simultaneously updates with the corresponding visualization, filters, and groupings. You can also ask custom questions in your own words using the new 'Ask Question' button, exploring your spending patterns conversationally. Cost Explorer autom

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports Serverless Workflows in Identity Center domains.  With this launch, customers using Identity Center domains can orchestrate data processing tasks with Apache Airflow (powered by Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow) without provisioning or managing Airflow infrastructure. Serverless Workflows were previously available only in IAM-based domains.  Serverless Workflows automatically provision compute resources when a workflow runs and release them when it completes, so you only pay for actual workflow run time. Each workflow runs with its own execution role and isolated worker, providing workflow-level security and preventing cross-workflow interference. With Serverless Workflows, Identity Center domain customers also get access to the Visual Workflow experience with support for

S3 Files delivers a shared file system that connects any AWS compute resource directly with your data in Amazon S3. With S3 Files, Amazon S3 is the first and only cloud object store that provides fully-featured, high-performance file system access to your data. It provides full file system semantics and low-latency performance, without your data ever leaving S3. That means file-based applications, agents, and teams can now access and work with your S3 data as a file system using the tools they already depend on. Built using Amazon EFS, S3 Files gives you the performance and simplicity of a file system with the scalability, durability, and cost-effectiveness of S3. You no longer need to duplicate your data or cycle it between object storage and file system storage. S3 Files maintains a view of the objects in your bucket and intelligently translates your file system operations into efficient S3 requests on your behalf. Your file-based applications run on your

AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) now provides a search bar in the console that customers can use to find certificates using one or more certificate parameters such as domain name, certificate ARN, and/or certificate validity. For example, ACM users who manages multiple certificates can search for certificates with specific domains that are due to expire soon. To get started, use the new SearchCertificates API, or navigate to the ACM console and use the search bar to search by one or more certificate parameters. This feature is available in all Public AWS, AWS China, and AWS GovCloud regions. To learn more about this feature, please refer to Search Certificates. You can learn more about ACM and get started here.

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio notebooks now support import/export capabilities, enabling migration from JupyterLab and other notebook platforms. This release also introduces developer acceleration features including cell reordering, keyboard shortcuts, cell renaming, and multi-line SQL support, designed to enhance productivity for data engineers and data scientists professionals working with notebook-based workflows. The new import/export functionality supports .ipynb, .json, and .py formats while preserving cell types, metadata, and outputs, making platform migration straightforward. You can export notebooks in four formats including Jupyter notebook with requirements (.zip), standard .ipynb, Python scripts (.py), and SageMaker Unified Studio native format (.json). Developer acceleration features enable you to reorder cells without copy-paste duplication, assign custom names to cells for improved navigation in large notebooks, use familiar keyboard shortcut

Today, AWS announces support for policy store aliases and named policies and policy templates in Amazon Verified Permissions, simplifying multi-tenant deployments and day-to-day policy management. Amazon Verified Permissions is a fine-grained authorization service that helps you manage and enforce permissions across your applications using Cedar policies. These new capabilities eliminate the need to maintain separate mapping tables for associating tenant identifiers with policy store IDs or tracking individual policy and template IDs. With policy store aliases, multi-tenant application developers can assign a human-readable alias based on a tenant identifier and use it in any API call, removing the need for a lookup table. Similarly, named policies and policy templates let you reference policies by meaningful names instead of system-generated IDs, making it easier to manage authorization logic as your application grows. Amazon Verified Permissions policy store aliase

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now provides unique, publicly resolvable Domain Name System (DNS) names for each AWS PrivateLink Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoint, enabling enterprise customers to deploy WorkSpaces across multiple AWS VPCs and accounts without DNS resolution conflicts. Each interface VPC endpoint now receives a globally unique AWS-managed DNS name in addition to the previous generic DNS name that was shared across all endpoints. This enhancement enables customers to route traffic appropriately in multi-account environments with centralized DNS infrastructure. Customers can now deploy WorkSpaces Personal directories across different VPCs and AWS accounts while maintaining proper security isolation, eliminating the DNS name collision that previously prevented customers from using separate interface VPC endpoints across accounts. The publicly resolvable DNS names simplify configuration while maintaining security, as they resolve to private IP addresses accessibl

AWS today announced the general availability of Smithy-Java, an open-source Java framework for generating type-safe clients and standalone classes from Smithy models. Smithy-Java addresses one of the most consistently requested capabilities from enterprise Smithy users: production-grade Java SDK generation. The framework allows you to generate clients from models and async patterns that increase cognitive load and maintenance burden for developers building modern Java applications. Built on Java 21's virtual threads, Smithy-Java provides a blocking-style API that is both simpler to use and competitive in performance with complex async alternatives. Key benefits include auto-generated type-safe clients from Smithy, protocol flexibility with runtime protocol swapping for gradual migration paths. The GA release includes the Java client code generator, support for AWS SigV4 and all major AWS protocols (AWS JSON, REST-JSON, REST-XML, AWS Query, and Smithy RPCv2-CBOR), standalone
