Amazon CloudFront announces cross-account support for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, enabling customers to access VPC origins that reside in different AWS accounts from their CloudFront distributions. With VPC origins, customers can have their Application Load Balancers (ALB), Network Load Balancers (NLB), and EC2 Instances in a private subnet that is accessible only through their CloudFront distributions. With the support for cross-account VPC origins in CloudFront, customers can now leverage the security benefits of VPC origins while maintaining their existing multi-account architecture.

Customers set up multiple AWS accounts for better security isolation, cost management, and compliance. Previously, customers could access origins in private VPCs from CloudFront only if CloudFront and the origin were in the same AWS account. This meant customers who had their origins in multiple AWS accounts, had to keep their accounts in public subnets to get the scale and performance benefits of CloudFront. Customers then had to maintain additional security controls, such as access control lists (ACL), at both the edge and within regions, rather than benefiting from the inherent security of VPC origins. Now, customers can use AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) to allow CloudFront access to origins in private VPCs in different AWS accounts, both within and outside their AWS Organizations and organizational units (OUs). This streamlines security management and reduces operational complexity, making it easy to use CloudFront as the single front door for applications.

VPC origins is available in AWS Commercial Regions only, and the full list of supported AWS Regions is available here . There is no additional cost for using cross-account VPC origins with CloudFront. To learn more about implementing cross-account VPC origins and best practices for multi-account architectures, visit CloudFront VPC origins.

Starting today, AWS End User Messaging customers can now lookup carrier information related to a phone number including the country, number type, dialing code, and mobile network and carrier codes. With Carrier Lookup, you can increase deliverability by checking important information about a phone number before you start sending messages, avoiding sending messages to the wrong destination, or to incorrect phone numbers.

AWS End User Messaging provides developers with a scalable and cost-effective messaging infrastructure without compromising the safety, security, or results of their communications. Developers can integrate messaging to support uses cases such as one-time passcodes (OTP) at sign-ups, account updates, appointment reminders, delivery notifications, promotions and more.

Support for Carrier Lookup is available in all AWS Regions where End User Messaging is available, see the AWS Region table.

AWS Backup now supports encrypting backups in logically air-gapped vaults with AWS Key Management Service (KMS) customer managed keys (CMKs). This enhancement provides additional encryption options beyond the existing AWS-owned keys, helping organizations meet their regulatory and compliance requirements.

You can now create logically air-gapped vaults using your own customer managed keys (CMKs) in AWS KMS, giving you more control over your backup protection strategy. Whether you want to use keys from the same account or across accounts, you maintain centralized key management while preserving the security benefits of logically air-gapped vaults. This integration works seamlessly with your existing logically air-gapped vaults and other AWS Backup features, ensuring no disruption to your backup workflows.

AWS KMS customer managed key support with logically air-gapped vaults is available in all AWS Regions where logically air-gapped vaults are currently supported .

You can get started with logically air-gapped vault support for CMKs using the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI. When creating a new logically air-gapped vault, you can now choose between an AWS-owned key or your own CMK for encryption. For more information about implementing this feature, visit the AWS Backup product page , documentation , and blog .

Amazon DynamoDB Streams now supports AWS PrivateLink for all available Amazon DynamoDB Streams Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) endpoints in US and Canada commercial AWS Regions.
