Amazon Location Service now supports AWS PrivateLink

By

We are excited to announce that Amazon Location Service now supports AWS PrivateLink integration, enabling customers to establish private connectivity between their VPCs and Amazon Location Service without data ever traversing the public internet.

With this new capability, customers can now access Amazon Location Service APIs through private IP addresses within their VPC, significantly enhancing their security posture. This integration simplifies network architecture by eliminating the need for internet gateways, NAT devices, or public IP addresses, while helping customers meet strict regulatory and compliance requirements by keeping all traffic within the AWS network.

Setting up AWS PrivateLink for Amazon Location Service is straightforward. Customers can create interface VPC endpoints through the AWS Management Console or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands. Once configured, applications can immediately begin accessing Amazon Location Service APIs using private IP addresses, with all traffic remaining secure within the AWS network.

To learn more about using AWS PrivateLink with Amazon Location, see the Amazon Location Service developer guide .

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails announces an increase in service quota limits

By

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails announces an increase in default service quota limits enabling you to scale your generative AI applications for higher traffic. Bedrock Guardrails provides configurable safeguards to filter undesirable and harmful content across different categories and prompt attacks, topic filters to define and disallow specific topics, sensitive information filters to redact personally identifiable information (PII), word filters to block specific words, and detect model hallucinations by detecting grounding and relevance of model responses as well as identify, correct, and explain factual claims in model responses using Automated Reasoning . These policies can be tailored to your specific use cases and responsible AI policies. Guardrails can be applied across any foundation model including those hosted with Amazon Bedrock, self-hosted models, and third-party models using the ApplyGuardrail API, providing a consistent user experience and standardizing safety and privacy controls.

Starting today, Bedrock Guardrails enables you to scale your generative AI applications for higher traffic loads with increased service quota limits that help process higher transactions per second (TPS) and higher text units per second (TUPS). With this increase, you can now process up to 50 calls per second using the ApplyGuardrail API, a 2x increase from the previous limit of 25 calls per second. Content filters, sensitive information filters, and word filters can now process up to 200 TUPS, a 8x increase from the previous limits of 25 TUPS.

These limits are available in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon) AWS regions.

AWS CodePipeline introduces new console experience for viewing pipeline releases

By

AWS CodePipeline now offers a redesigned console experience that helps you monitor and troubleshoot your pipeline releases more effectively.

The new horizontal pipeline view displays stages and actions from left to right, results in a stronger visual hierarchy, which helps you to better locate and understand stage and action execution status. This visual update also makes it easier for you to focus on the key information, and find what you are looking for more effectively while preserving the familiar and consistent experience of the current CodePipeline console. The new layout also optimizes information density by reducing unused space, leading to more pipeline release information visible on the screen, which improves the experience to serve pipelines with a large number of stages and actions.

This feature is available in all regions where AWS CodePipeline is supported, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions. For more information about AWS CodePipeline, visit our product page .
