Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides secure, enterprise-grade access to high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies, enabling you to build and scale generative AI applications. Today, Amazon Bedrock introduces a console experience designed for how customers actually build with foundation models: experiment, iterate, and scale. This is the same Amazon Bedrock service customers already use, with a refreshed workflow optimized for the bedrock-mantle endpoint , which supports the OpenAI Responses API, OpenAI Chat Completions API, and the Anthropic Messages API.

The new experience makes it simple to find the right model and move quickly from evaluation to production. Customers can browse the full Amazon Bedrock model catalog, including the latest Claude, GPT, and open-weight models, and compare them side by side on capabilities, modality support, context window, and applicable service quotas in a single view, removing the need to stitch together documentation, and limit calculators. Work is organized into projects, where customers can run evaluations and review usage insights in one streamlined workflow that mirrors the lifecycle of building a generative AI application. Each project also includes project-aware documentation: code samples, SDK snippets, and API references are automatically prefilled with the project’s selected model ID, region, bedrock-mantle endpoint URL, and API key reference, and they update in place as customers change models or settings. Developers can copy a snippet straight from the console into their application and run it without modification.

To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console, open Amazon Bedrock, and choose the new experience from the navigation. Create a project, pick a model, and begin sending requests through the bedrock-mantle endpoint using your existing OpenAI or Anthropic client libraries with an Amazon Bedrock API key. The new console experience is available in all AWS Regions where the bedrock-mantle endpoint is offered: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Sydney, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo). To try the new experience, visit the Amazon Bedrock console .

You can now deploy Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region. This new independent cloud for Europe is located entirely within the EU, designed to help customers in regulated industries and public sector organizations meet their sovereignty requirements.

Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud. Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ manages the provisioning, patching, and maintenance of RabbitMQ brokers, letting you focus on building applications without managing messaging infrastructure. You can migrate existing RabbitMQ workloads without rewriting application code and benefit from the same familiar APIs and protocols. Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud supports RabbitMQ engine version 4.2 and Graviton3-based m7g instance types for high-performance messaging ranging from m7g.medium to m7g.16xlarge.

To get started, see the Amazon MQ product page or the Amazon MQ Developer Guide .

AWS Deadline Cloud now gives you an easier way to deliver plugins to cloud workers when using service-managed fleets. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps teams run compute-intensive workloads in the cloud for visual effects, animation, product design, simulation, and gaming.

Previously, deploying plugins to cloud workers required custom scripting or manual configuration for each digital content creation (DCC) application and version. With this feature, you upload your plugin files to a prescribed path in your queue’s job attachments Amazon S3 bucket, much like copying plugins into a shared folder on your workstation, and Deadline Cloud automatically syncs them to workers when a job session starts. This simplifies pipeline setup, reduces configuration errors, and helps you start jobs with the correct plugins in place. Plugin sync is now generally available for Blender and Autodesk Maya, with support for additional DCC applications coming soon.

Plugin sync for service-managed fleets is available in all AWS Regions where Deadline Cloud is offered. To learn more, see Sync plugins to workers in the AWS Deadline Cloud Developer Guide, or visit the AWS Deadline Cloud product page .

Amazon Cognito now supports multi-Region replication, enabling you to synchronize user and machine identity data — including credentials, user pool configurations, and federation setups — to a secondary user pool in a standby Region you designate in near real-time. This capability helps you improve the resilience of your authentication system by providing a standby replica that can accept traffic in case there is a regional service disruption.
In the event of a disruption in the primary Region, you can redirect traffic to the secondary user pool. Signed-in users continue accessing their applications without re-authenticating, and registered users can sign in with their existing credentials. Authentication methods continue to work in the secondary Region, including username/password, federation with social identity and SAML/OIDC providers, and machine-to-machine authorization flows.
Multi-Region replication is available as an add-on for user pools in Essentials or Plus feature tiers. You can start using this feature in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo). To get started, configure multi-Region replication using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS Software Development Kits (SDKs) by adding a replica user pool. Visit the pricing page  for pricing details and the developer guide  for instructions.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL , Amazon Aurora DSQL , and Amazon DynamoDB serverless databases are now available on Vercel Marketplace and v0 by Vercel in additional AWS Regions, offering you more flexibility to build applications with Vercel and AWS databases from the Regions of your choice.

To get started, you can describe your idea in v0 using natural language. The tool automatically generates a spec-driven design, deploys code and infrastructure, and stores your application data in the AWS database that best fits your needs with no hands-on coding or provisioning required. Vercel provides an end-to-end setup experience where you can create database resources in seconds under a new AWS account or link to an existing one, all without leaving Vercel. New AWS accounts created from Vercel include access to all three databases and $100 USD in credits, usable across any of these database options for up to six months. You can manage your plan, add payment information, and view usage details anytime from the AWS settings portal in the Vercel dashboard. To learn more, visit v0 or the AWS landing page on the Vercel Marketplace.

You can now create an Aurora PostgreSQL database or Amazon DynamoDB table through Vercel from 17 AWS Regions enabled by default , and Aurora DSQL from 16 AWS Regions including: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo).

AWS Databases deliver security, reliability, and price performance without the operational overhead, whether you’re prototyping your next big idea or running production AI and data driven applications. For more information, visit the AWS Databases webpage.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Capabilities can now be configured as log delivery sources using Amazon CloudWatch Vended Logs. This enables customers to monitor and troubleshoot their EKS Capabilities for Argo CD, AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), and kro (Kubernetes Resource Orchestrator) by monitoring logs collected from the managed controllers that run in AWS-managed infrastructure.

Customers can enable log delivery for each capability using CloudWatch APIs or the AWS Console. Logs are configured as a CloudWatch Vended Logs delivery source, enabling reliable, secure log delivery to CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose destinations.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where the EKS Capabilities feature is supported. Standard CloudWatch Vended Logs pricing applies based on the chosen destination. There is no additional EKS charge.

To learn more about EKS Capabilities, visit the Amazon EKS documentation .
