Agents can now manually prioritize the next important task, email, or chat in a queue. For example, when a customer calls in to enquire about their previously submitted refund request, an agent can search for any pending tickets related to the case, assign it to themselves, and resolve it immediately.

Supervisors and managers can enable manual assignment by updating agent configuration in routing and security profiles. Agents can then use the new worklist application in their agent workspace to manually assign themselves the next important chat, task, or email.

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton3-based M7g and R7g node families in the following AWS Regions: Canada (Calgary), Middle East & Africa (Bahrain, Cape Town, Dubai, Tel Aviv), Europe (Milan, Paris (introducing R7g), and Zurich), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, and Osaka).

ElastiCache Graviton3 nodes deliver improved price-performance compared to Graviton2. As an example, when running ElastiCache for Redis OSS on an R7g.4xlarge node, you can achieve up to 28% increased throughput (read and write operations per second) and up to 21% improved P99 latency, compared to running on R6g.4xlarge. In addition, these nodes deliver up to 25% higher networking bandwidth.

For complete information on pricing and regional availability, please refer to the Amazon ElastiCache pricing page . To get started, create a new cluster or upgrade to Graviton3 using the AWS Management Console . For more information on supported node types, please refer to the documentation . 

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8g instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Osaka) and AWS Canada (Central) 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 Graviton3-based R7g instances. These instances are up to 30% faster for web applications, 40% faster for databases, and 45% faster for large Java applications compared to AWS Graviton3-based R7g instances. R8g instances are available in 12 different instance sizes, including two bare metal sizes. They offer up to 50 Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).

Amazon CloudFront now supports Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for signed URLs and signed cookies, providing customers with enhanced performance and security for content access control. This addition gives customers the flexibility to choose between RSA and ECDSA cryptographic algorithms based on their specific security and performance requirements.

Previously, CloudFront only supported RSA based encryption algorithms to create signed tokens. ECDSA offers several advantages over traditional RSA signatures, including faster signature generation and verification, smaller signature sizes that result in shorter URLs, and equivalent security with smaller key sizes. This makes ECDSA signed URLs and signed cookies particularly beneficial for high-volume applications, mobile environments, and IoT devices where processing efficiency and bandwidth optimization are critical.

ECDSA support with signed URLs and signed cookies is available in all edge locations. This excludes Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region, operated by NWCD. There is no additional charge to utilize this feature. To learn more about restricting content delivered with Amazon CloudFront, visit the CloudFront documentation. 

AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) now offers certificate auto-enrollment for LDAPS and Smart Card and certificate based authentication with AWS Private Certificate Authority (AWS Private CA) through AWS Private CA Connector for AD . This integration enables automatic issuance, renewal, and management of certificates to AWS Managed Microsoft AD domain controllers, eliminating the need to maintain certificate authorities on Amazon EC2 instances.  

By leveraging this fully managed solution, you can reduce costs of operating certificate authority infrastructure for Active Directory and simplify certificate management with AWS Private CA’s highly available, HSM-backed infrastructure. The integration supports LDAPS and smart card authentication while providing automatic certificate lifecycle management, flexible certificate control, and built-in security capabilities that streamline migration of Active Directory-aware workloads to AWS.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Private CA Connector for AD is offered.

You can easily set up AWS Private CA integration with your directory in just a few clicks or programmatically via API. To get started, follow the step-by-step instructions in the Set up AWS Private CA Connector for AD for AWS Managed Microsoft AD documentation.
