AWS DataSync now supports AWS Secrets Manager for credential management across all location types, including Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. Previously, Secrets Manager integration was limited to a subset of location types, requiring you to provide credentials directly through the DataSync API or console.

You can centralize credential management for all DataSync locations in Secrets Manager, providing a single, consistent approach across all your data transfers. You can also encrypt credentials with your own AWS KMS key instead of the default AWS-owned key, helping you meet your organization’s security requirements and governance policies. All secrets are stored in your account, allowing you to update credentials as needed, independent of the DataSync service.

DataSync supports two approaches for credential management. You can provide a secret ARN referencing credentials you manage in Secrets Manager for full control over rotation, auditing, and access policies. Alternatively, DataSync can automatically create and manage secrets on your behalf.

This capability is available is available in the majority of AWS regions where AWS DataSync is offered. For the full list of supported regions, visit the AWS Capabilities tool in Builder Center. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console . For more information, see Managing credentials with AWS Secrets Manager in the AWS DataSync documentation.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)  now offers a 99.99% Service Level Agreement (SLA) for clusters running on Provisioned Control Plane, up from the 99.95% SLA offered on standard control plane. Amazon EKS is also introducing the 8XL scaling tier, the largest available Provisioned Control Plane tier.

Provisioned Control Plane gives you the ability to select your cluster’s control plane capacity from a set of well-defined scaling tiers, ensuring the control plane is pre-provisioned and ready to handle traffic spikes or unpredictable bursts. The higher 99.99% SLA is measured in 1-minute intervals, providing a more granular and stringent availability commitment for mission-critical workloads. The new 8XL tier offers double the Kubernetes API server request processing capacity of the next lower 4XL tier, enabling workloads such as ultra-scale AI/ML training, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale data processing.

Both the 99.99% SLA and the 8XL tier are available today in all AWS regions where Amazon EKS Provisioned Control Plane is offered. To learn more about the SLA, see the Amazon EKS Service Level Agreement . For 8XL pricing and capabilities, see the EKS pricing  and EKS Provisioned Control Plane documentation .
