Today, AWS announces that Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition now supports integration with Kiro Powers , enabling developers to build Aurora MySQL-backed applications faster with AI agent assistance. Kiro Powers is a repository of curated and pre-packaged Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, steering files, and hooks that have been validated by Kiro partners to accelerate specialized software development and deployment. This integration bundles direct database connectivity with Aurora MySQL best practices, providing developers with instant expertise in Aurora MySQL operations and schema design through natural language interactions.

With this integration, developers can perform both data plane operations (database queries, table creation, schema management) and control plane operations (cluster creation and management) through conversational commands instead of complex syntax. The Kiro agent dynamically loads task-specific guidance for Aurora MySQL Serverless scaling, migration from RDS MySQL to Aurora MySQL, and replication configuration, ensuring developers receive only relevant context without information overload.

This integration is available through one-click installation from the Kiro IDE and Kiro webpage , and can be used to create and manage database clusters in all AWS Regions where Aurora MySQL is available. For more information about development use cases, read this blog post . To learn more, explore the Aurora MySQL MCP Server documentation .

Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full MySQL compatibility. It provides built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, automated multi-Region replication, and integrations with other AWS services. To get started with Amazon Aurora, take a look at our getting started page.

AWS Backup now requires one-time password (OTP) verification when approvers vote on Multi-party approval actions for logically air-gapped vaults.

When an approver votes on an Multi-party approval request, they must enter a six-digit code sent to their registered email address in AWS IAM Identity Center. This ensures that only verified approvers can authorize protected vault operations, adding an additional layer of security for approval teams. OTP verification applies automatically to all existing and new Multi-party approval sessions for logically air-gapped vaults at no additional charge, with no setup required.

You can get started with AWS Backup using the AWS Backup console , SDKs, or CLI. Multi-party approval with OTP verification is available in all AWS Regions where logically air-gapped vaults are supported . To learn more, visit the documentation .
