Amazon S3 now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses for AWS PrivateLink gateway and interface Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints. 

The continued growth of the internet is exhausting available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 increases the number of available addresses by several orders of magnitude, and customers no longer need to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. To get started with IPv6 connectivity on a new or existing S3 gateway or interface endpoint, configure IP address type for the endpoint to IPv6 or Dualstack. When enabled, Amazon S3 automatically updates the routing tables with IPv6 addresses for gateway endpoints and sets up an Elastic network interface (ENI) with IPv6 addresses for interface endpoints.

IPv6 support for VPC endpoints for Amazon S3 is now available in all AWS Commercial Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, at no additional cost. You can set up IPv6 for new and existing VPC endpoints using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, or AWS CloudFormation. To learn more, please refer to the service documentation.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i-flex instances that deliver up to 19% better price performance compared to C6i instances, are available in the Middle East (UAE) Region. C7i-flex instances provide the easiest way for you to get price performance benefits for a majority of compute intensive workloads. The new instances are powered by the 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable custom processors (Sapphire Rapids) that are available only on AWS, and offer 5% lower prices compared to C7i.

C7i-flex instances offer the most common sizes, from large to 16xlarge, and are a great first choice for applications that don’t fully utilize all compute resources. With C7i-flex instances, you can seamlessly run web and application servers, databases, caches, Apache Kafka, and Elasticsearch, and more. For compute-intensive workloads that need larger instance sizes (up to 192 vCPUs and 384 GiB memory) or continuous high CPU usage, you can leverage C7i instances.

Amazon CloudWatch agent now supports collection of shared memory utilization metrics from Linux hosts running on Amazon EC2 or on-premises environments. This new capability enables you to monitor total shared memory usage in CloudWatch, alongside existing memory metrics like free memory, used memory, and cached memory.

Enterprise applications such as SAP HANA and Oracle RDBMS make extensive use of shared memory segments that were previously not captured in standard memory metrics. By enabling shared memory metric collection in your CloudWatch agent configuration file, you can now accurately assess total memory utilization across your hosts, helping you optimize host and application configurations and make informed decisions about instance sizing.

Amazon CloudWatch agent is supported in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For Amazon CloudWatch custom metrics pricing, see the CloudWatch Pricing page.

To get started, see Configuring the CloudWatch agent in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide. 

AWS Private Certificate Authority (AWS Private CA) now enables you to create certificate authorities (CAs) and issue certificates that use Module Lattice-based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA). This feature enables you to begin transitioning your public key infrastructure (PKI) towards post-quantum cryptography, allowing you to put protections in place now to protect the security of your data against future quantum computing threats. ML-DSA is a post-quantum digital signature algorithm standardized by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 204.

With this feature, you can now test ML-DSA in your environment for certificate issuance, identity verification, and code signing. You can create CAs, issue certificates, create certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and configure online certificate status protocol (OCSP) responders using ML-DSA. Cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) will be able to break current digital signature algorithms, like Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) or Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), which are expected to be phased out over the next decade.

AWS Private CA support for ML-DSA is available in all commercial AWS Regions, the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and the China Regions.

To learn more about AWS Private CA ML-DSA support, visit the AWS Private CA user guide .

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now provides real-time notifications for data catalog activities, enabling data teams to stay informed of subscription requests, dataset updates, and access approvals. With this launch, customers receive real-time notifications for catalog events including new dataset publications, metadata changes, and access approvals directly within the SageMaker Unified Studio notification center. This launch streamlines collaboration by keeping teams updated as datasets are published or modified.

The new notification experience in SageMaker Unified Studio is accessible from a “bell” icon in the top right corner of the project home page. From here, you can access a short list of recent notifications including subscription requests, updates, comments, and system events. To see the full list of all notifications, you can click on “notification center” to see all notifications in a tabular view that can be filtered based on your preferences for data catalogs, projects and event types.

Notifications within SageMaker Unified Studio is available in all regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is supported .

To learn more, refer to the SageMaker Unified Studio guide.
