Today, AWS End User Messaging SMS announces support for AWS CloudFormation, enabling customers to deploy and manage SMS resources using AWS CloudFormation templates. Using AWS CloudFormation, customers can standardize how they setup and manage their SMS resources along side their other AWS resources in the development environment simplifying deployments and delivery pipelines. SMS resources supported via CloudFormation include phone numbers, sender IDs, configuration sets, protection configurations, opt-out lists, resource policies, and phone pools.

AWS End User Messaging provides developers with a scalable and cost-effective messaging infrastructure without compromising the safety, security, or results of their communications. Developers can integrate messaging to support uses cases such as one-time passcodes (OTP) at sign-ups, account updates, appointment reminders, delivery notifications, promotions and more.

Support for CloudFormation for SMS resources is available in all AWS Regions where End User Messaging is available, see the AWS Region table.

AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) now supports Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML . You can now use Amazon EC2 instances reserved using EC2 Capacity Blocks natively in PCS clusters.

Native support for EC2 Capacity Blocks in PCS simplifies capacity planning for cutting-edge GPU-based workloads in Slurm clusters, helping to ensure that GPU capacity is available when and where it’s needed. EC2 Capacity Blocks can be associated with PCS compute node groups via an EC2 Launch Template.

PCS is a managed service that makes it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing (HPC) workloads and build scientific and engineering models on AWS using Slurm. You can use PCS to build complete, elastic environments that integrate compute, storage, networking, and visualization tools. PCS simplifies cluster operations with managed updates and built-in observability features, helping to remove the burden of maintenance. You can work in a familiar environment, focusing on your research and innovation instead of worrying about infrastructure.

PCS now supports EC2 Capacity Blocks in all AWS Regions where both services are available. Read more about PCS support for EC2 Capacity Blocks in the PCS User Guide .

Amazon EventBridge now extends AWS Key Management Service (KMS) customer managed key support to event bus rule filter patterns and input transformers. This capability enables you to use your own encryption keys to protect sensitive information in your event filtering and transformation logic to meet stringent security and compliance requirements while maintaining full control over your encryption keys.

Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event router that enables you to create scalable event-driven applications by routing events between your applications, third-party SaaS applications, and AWS services. Filter patterns determine which events match your rules, while input transformers allow you to customize the event data before sending it to targets. By encrypting these components with customer managed keys, you can help meet your organization’s compliance and governance requirements and use AWS CloudTrail to audit and track encryption key usage.

This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions. Using this feature incurs no additional cost, but standard AWS KMS pricing applies. To learn more, visit the EventBridge documentation and AWS KMS documentation .
