Data engineers and data analysts using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio can now connect to and run queries with pre-existing Amazon Athena workgroups. This feature enables data teams to run SQL queries in SageMaker Unified Studio with the default settings and properties from existing Athena workgroups. Since Athena workgroups are used to manage query access and control costs, data engineers and data analysts can save time by reusing Athena workgroups as their SQL analytics compute while maintaining data usage limits and tracking query usage by team or project.

When choosing a compute for SQL analytics within SageMaker Unified Studio, customers can create a new Athena compute connection or choose to connect to an existing Athena workgroup. To get started, navigate to SageMaker Unified Studio, select “Add compute” and choose “Connect to existing compute resources”. Then create a connection to your pre-existing Athena workgroups and save. This new compute is now available within the SageMaker Unified Studio query editor to run SQL queries.

Connecting to Athena workgroups within SageMaker Unified Studio is available in all regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is supported .

To learn more, refer to the SageMaker Unified Studio Guide and Athena Workgroups Guide .

AWS Lambda increases asynchronous invocations maximum payload size from 256 KB to 1 MB, allowing customers to ingest richer, complex payloads for their event-driven workloads without the need to split, compress, or externalize data. Customers invoke their Lambda functions asynchronously using either Lambda API directly, or by receiving push-based events from various AWS services like Amazon S3, Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon SNS, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Step Functions.

Modern cloud applications increasingly rely on AWS Lambda’s asynchronous invocations and its integration with various AWS serverless services to build scalable, event-driven architectures. These applications often need to process rich contextual data, including large-language model prompts, telemetry signals, and complex JSON structures for machine learning outputs. With increase in maximum payload size to 1MB for asynchronous invocations, developers can streamline their architectures by including comprehensive data, from detailed user profiles to complete transaction histories, in a single event, eliminating the need for complex data chunking or external storage solutions.

This feature is generally available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions . Customers can start sending asynchronous invocation payloads up to 1 MB using Lambda’s invoke API. Customers are charged for 1 request per each asynchronous invocation for first 256 KB. Individual payload size beyond 256 KB is charged 1 additional request for each 64 KB of chunk up to 1 MB. To learn more, read Lambda asynchronous invocation documentation and AWS Lambda pricing . 

Amazon Connect now provides granular permissions to access conversation recordings and transcripts in the UI, giving administrators greater flexibility and security control. Contact center administrators can now separately configure access to recordings and transcripts, allowing users to listen to calls while preventing unauthorized copying of transcripts. The system also provides flexible download controls, enabling users to download redacted recordings while restricting downloads of unredacted versions. Administrators can also create sophisticated permission scenarios, providing access to redacted recordings of sensitive conversations while granting unredacted recording access for other conversations.

This feature is available in all regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more, please visit our documentation and our webpage . 

With this launch, Amazon VPC Reachability Analyzer and Amazon VPC Network Access Analyzer are now available in both AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions.

VPC Reachability Analyzer allows you to diagnose network reachability between a source resource and a destination resource in your virtual private clouds (VPCs) by analyzing your network configurations. For example, Reachability Analyzer can help you identify a missing route table entry in your VPC route table that could be blocking network reachability between an EC2 instance in Account A that is not able to connect to another EC2 instance in Account B in your AWS Organization.

VPC Network Access Analyzer allows you to identify unintended network access to your AWS resources, helping you meet your security and compliance guidelines. For example, you can create a scope to verify that all paths from your web-applications to the internet, traverse the firewall, and detect any paths that bypass the firewall.

For more information, visit documentation for VPC Reachability Analyzer and VPC Network Access Analyzer. For pricing, refer to the Network Analysis tab on the Amazon VPC Pricing Page . 

AWS Transfer Family now enables you to change your server’s identity provider (IdP) type without service interruption. This enhancement gives you more control and flexibility over authentication management in your file transfer workflows, enabling you to adapt quickly to changing business requirements.

AWS Transfer Family provides fully managed file transfers over SFTP, FTP, FTPS, AS2, and web-browser based interfaces. With this launch, you can now dynamically switch between service managed authentication, Active Directory, and custom IdP configurations for SFTP, FTPS, and FTP servers. This enables you to implement zero-downtime authentication migration and meet evolving compliance requirements. 

Changing IDP type is available in all AWS Regions where the service is available . To learn more, visit the Transfer Family User Guide .
