AWS Amplify now enables developers to use the Amplify Data client within AWS Lambda functions. This new capability allows you to leverage the same type-safe data operations you use in your frontend applications directly in your Lambda functions, eliminating the need to write raw GraphQL queries.

The Amplify Data client in Lambda functions brings a consistent data access pattern across your entire application stack. Instead of managing separate GraphQL implementations, you can now use the same familiar client-side syntax to query and mutate data with full TypeScript support. This unified approach reduces development time, minimizes errors, and makes your codebase more maintainable.

This feature is now available in all AWS regions where AWS Amplify is supported.

To get started, visit the AWS Amplify documentation to learn how to integrate the Amplify Data client in your Lambda functions .
 

AWS Health customers can now use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses, via our new dual-stack endpoints to view operational issues or planned lifecycle events for all accounts and resources in your organization. The existing Health endpoints supporting IPv4 will remain available for backwards compatibility.

The urgency to transition to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is driven by the continued growth of internet, which is exhausting available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on Health endpoints, you are able to gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6 based systems and applications, without needing to switch all over at once. This enables you to meet IPv6 compliance requirements and removes the need for expensive networking equipment to handle the address translation between IPv4 and IPv6.

To learn more on best practices for configuring IPv6 in your environment, visit the whitepaper on IPv6 in AWS. Support for IPv6 on AWS Health is available in all commercial regions. To learn more, please refer to the user guide .

Amazon Redshift announces enhanced security defaults to help you adhere to best practices in data security and reduce the risk of potential misconfigurations. These changes include disabling public accessibility , enabling database encryption , and enforcing secure connections by default when creating a new data warehouse.

The enhanced security defaults bring three key changes: First, public accessibility is disabled by default for all newly created provisioned clusters and clusters restored from snapshots. In this configuration, connections to clusters will only be permitted from client applications within the same Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Second, database encryption is enabled by default for provisioned clusters. If you don’t specify an AWS KMS key when creating a provisioned cluster, the cluster is now automatically encrypted with an AWS-owned key. Third, Amazon Redshift now enforces secure, encrypted connections by default, a new default parameter group named “default.redshift-2.0” will be introduced for all newly created or restored clusters, with “require_ssl” parameter set to “true” by default. This default change will also apply to new serverless workgroups.

Review your data warehouse creation configurations, scripts, and tools to align with the new default settings to avoid any potential disruption. While these security features are enabled by default, you will still have the ability to modify cluster or workgroup settings to change the default behavior. Your existing data warehouses will not be impacted by these security enhancements.

These new default changes are implemented in all AWS regions where Amazon Redshift is available. For more information, please refer to our documentation .
