Starting today, customers can use AWS Control Tower in the AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region. With this launch, AWS Control Tower is available in 34 AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. AWS Control Tower offers the easiest way to set up and govern a secure, multi-account AWS environment. It simplifies AWS experiences by orchestrating multiple AWS services on your behalf while maintaining the security and compliance needs of your organization. You can set up a multi-account AWS environment within 30 minutes or less, govern new or existing account configurations, gain visibility into compliance status, and enforce controls at scale.

If you are new to AWS Control Tower, you can launch it today in any of the supported regions and you can use AWS Control Tower to govern your multi-account environment in all supported Regions. If you are already using AWS Control Tower and you want to extend its governance features to the newly supported regions in your accounts, you can go to the settings page in your AWS Control Tower dashboard, select your regions, and update your landing zone. Once you update all your governed accounts , your landing zone, managed accounts, and registered OUs will be under governance in the new region(s).

For a full list of Regions where AWS Control Tower is available, see the AWS Region Table . To learn more, visit the AWS Control Tower homepage or see the AWS Control Tower User Guide .

Amazon S3 expands conditional write functionality to copy operations. With conditional copy, you can now verify if the object exists or has been modified in your destination S3 bucket before copying it. This helps you coordinate simultaneous writes to the same object and prevents multiple concurrent writers from unintentionally overwriting the object.

You can now perform conditional copy operations through S3 CopyObject by including either the HTTP if-none-match header to verify object existence or the HTTP if-match header with ETag to validate the object’s content. Additionally, you can use the s3:if-match and s3:if-none-match condition keys in your S3 bucket policies to enforce conditional copy operations. S3 then evaluates the condition against the specified object’s key or ETag before executing the copy operation in the destination bucket. This eliminates the need for additional client-side coordination mechanisms or API validation requests.

Conditional copy is available at no additional charge in all AWS Regions in both S3 general purpose and directory buckets. You can use the AWS SDK, API, or CLI to copy data conditionally to your buckets. To learn more about conditional operations, visit the S3 User Guide .
