Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS) now supports WebRTC (Real-Time Communication) in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, bringing real-time, low-latency media and data streaming to security-sensitive workloads in the cloud. Amazon Kinesis Video Streams makes it easy to securely ingest, store, and process video from connected devices at scale. WebRTC support extends this capability to real-time, two-way media streaming, enabling sub-second latency for mission-critical applications.

With this update, AWS customers and AWS Partners who operate in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions can now build and deploy real-time video streaming applications without compromising on compliance. For example, the update enables developers within these agencies to support critical use cases including live surveillance feeds for border security and military installations, real-time body camera streaming for law enforcement with data residency compliance, remote drone and UAV video monitoring for defense operations, and Internet of Things (IoT) smart infrastructure monitoring for state and local governments, all while meeting Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High and other regulatory requirements.

This feature is available today in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). To get started, visit the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams WebRTC product page  and see the AWS Region table  for complete regional availability.

Quick Sight in Amazon Quick now supports sparklines, enabling authors to embed compact, inline trend visualizations directly within table cells. Sparklines allow users to display line or area charts inside individual table columns, providing at-a-glance trend context alongside their data without requiring separate chart visuals. Authors can add sparklines to tables by configuring a metric with a date dimension, and Quick automatically renders a miniature trend line within each row.

This enhancement helps organizations quickly identify patterns, anomalies, and directional trends within tabular data — such as revenue over time by product, weekly ticket volumes by team, or monthly utilization by region — without navigating away from the table view. Sparklines support customization options including visual type (line or area), line color, line interpolation (linear, smooth, or stepped), and Y-axis behavior (shared or independent scaling across rows), giving authors flexibility to tailor the visualization to their dashboard’s needs.

This feature is now available in all Amazon Quick regions where Quick Sight is supported. Learn more about how to add sparklines to your tables in Amazon Quick.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports Oracle Management Agent (OMA) version 24.1.0.0.v1 for Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Cloud Control 24ai Release 1. OEM 24ai offers web-based tools to monitor and manage your Oracle databases. Amazon RDS for Oracle installs OMA, which communicates with your Oracle Management Service (OMS) to provide monitoring information. Customers running OMS version 24.1 Release 1 or later can now manage databases by installing OMA 24.1.0.0.v1

To enable the version 24.1.0.0.v1 of OMA for OEM 24aiR1 or later, navigate to “Option Groups” in the AWS Management Console and add the “OEM_AGENT” option to a new or existing option group and set AGENT_VERSION to “24.1.0.0.v1”. You will also need to configure option settings including OMS hostname (or IP), port, agent registration password, and minimum TLS version of TLSv1.2 to allow OMA on your Amazon RDS for Oracle database instances to communicate with your existing Oracle Management Service (OMS) stack. To learn more, please refer to Amazon RDS for Oracle documentation.

For more information on enabling and configuring OEM agents, refer to the Amazon RDS for Oracle documentation .

Customers can now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems in the AWS Asia Pacific (Melbourne) Region, providing fully managed shared file storage built on the OpenZFS file system.

Amazon FSx makes it easier and more cost effective to launch, run, and scale feature-rich, high-performance file systems in the cloud. It supports a wide range of workloads with its reliability, security, scalability, and broad set of capabilities. Amazon FSx for OpenZFS provides fully managed, cost-effective, shared file storage powered by the popular OpenZFS file system, and is designed to deliver sub-millisecond latencies and multi-GB/s throughput along with rich ZFS-powered data management capabilities (like snapshots, data cloning, and compression).

To learn more about Amazon FSx for OpenZFS, visit our product page , and see the AWS Region Table for complete regional availability information.

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new Greengrass component SDK  for AWS IoT Greengrass applications. This new SDK addresses the challenge of deploying sophisticated applications on edge devices with limited resources, enabling industries such as automotive, industrial IoT, robotics, and smart buildings to run more complex AI and ML workloads at the edge. Moreover, the new SDK maintains full compatibility with both AWS IoT Greengrass nucleus and nucleus lite capabilities.

The new Greengrass component SDK offers significant memory footprint reduction, with a footprint of less than 0.5MB compared to 30MB, enabling deployment on resource-constrained devices. It provides native C, C++, and Rust bindings, optimized for performance and cost-critical embedded applications. This SDK opens new possibilities for edge computing applications where memory constraints have previously been a limiting factor.

The new Greengrass component SDK  is available in all AWS Regions where AWS IoT Greengrass is available.

As announced on November 19, 2025 , Amazon S3 is now deploying a new default bucket security setting which will automatically disable server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C) for all new general purpose buckets. For existing buckets in AWS accounts with no SSE-C encrypted objects, S3 will also disable SSE-C for all new write requests. For AWS accounts with SSE-C usage, S3 will not change the bucket encryption configuration on any of the existing buckets in those accounts. To learn more about this change, visit the S3 User Guide .

Amazon S3 will deploy this new default to both new and existing general purpose buckets in 37 AWS Regions including the AWS China and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions over the next few weeks.

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now provides unique, publicly resolvable Domain Name System (DNS) names for each AWS PrivateLink Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoint, enabling enterprise customers to deploy WorkSpaces across multiple AWS VPCs and accounts without DNS resolution conflicts. Each interface VPC endpoint now receives a globally unique AWS-managed DNS name in addition to the previous generic DNS name that was shared across all endpoints.

This enhancement enables customers to route traffic appropriately in multi-account environments with centralized DNS infrastructure. Customers can now deploy WorkSpaces Personal directories across different VPCs and AWS accounts while maintaining proper security isolation, eliminating the DNS name collision that previously prevented customers from using separate interface VPC endpoints across accounts. The publicly resolvable DNS names simplify configuration while maintaining security, as they resolve to private IP addresses accessible only from within the respective VPC. The unique DNS names are automatically managed by AWS throughout their lifecycle, requiring no additional Route 53 configuration or custom DNS management.

This feature is available in all AWS regions where PrivateLink is available in Amazon WorkSpaces Personal.

To learn more, see Amazon WorkSpaces PrivateLink documentation . For configuration details, refer to the WorkSpaces Administration Guide . Existing customers will automatically benefit from this enhancement, as the system maintains backward compatibility with previous DNS configurations.
