Amazon WorkSpaces for AI agents now supports Linux and Windows 11 cloud desktops

WorkSpaces for AI agents now supports Linux and Windows 11 cloud desktops, in addition to Windows Server. You can run each AI agent on the operating system that its workflows and applications require. Your agents can then work in the same environments that your workforce already uses, without re-platforming. 
Linux desktops give agents full root access to the operating system where many developers already build, test, and automate agentic workflows. Agents can take on developer tasks, such as running builds, tests, and scripts, within the enterprise-grade security and governance controls you already rely on. Windows 11 desktops let agents work in the enterprise applications your teams depend on every day.
Linux and Windows 11 desktops have the same security and governance controls as Windows Server desktops. These include network isolation, IAM-based access, and the compliance boundaries your organization already has in place.

New features for Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager

Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager now offers real-time supportability checks and capacity fulfillment metrics. Real-time supportability checks help customers find capacity by scoring how well each instance type and Availability Zone can support a request, without launching or reserving instances. Capacity fulfillment metrics show how much capacity was delivered against the amount requested.
Global enterprises that run thousands of workloads across hundreds of accounts often spread each one across multiple instance types and Availability Zones, giving Amazon EC2 more options to fulfill each request. Starting today, customers can use the supportability checks in Capacity Manager to understand which Availability Zones and instance types give them the best chance of getting the capacity they need. The check returns a High, Medium, or Low score for each option, plus an overall score. Additionally, with fulfillment metrics, customers can measure fulfillment rates across their AWS organization, accounts, Regions, and tagged workloads, with a breakdown by instance type and Availability Zone, to show how well those choices are working.
Both capabilities are included with AWS Unified Operations, the AWS Support plan for global enterprises running mission-critical workloads, and are available in all commercial AWS Regions.
To learn more, read Plan and measure EC2 flexibility with Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager on the AWS Compute Blog and see the Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager user guide. To get started, visit the Capacity Manager console.

AWS announces AWS Interconnect – last mile preview with Equinix

AWS Interconnect – last mile is now available in preview with Equinix. You can connect your infrastructure across Equinix’s global network of 282 data centers worldwide to AWS in a few clicks.
Interconnect – last mile gives you managed, private, and resilient connections to AWS, so you don’t have to order cross-connects or configure routers. To set up in the AWS Management Console, choose an AWS Region, a bandwidth speed, a Direct Connect gateway, and your Equinix Fabric One project ID. AWS generates an activation key, which you enter in the Equinix Fabric One portal to complete the setup. You can also initiate the connection from the Equinix Fabric One portal. AWS and Equinix set up quad-redundant capacity in advance, across two locations and four separate links, with BGP peering, VLANs and ASNs configured for you. Every connection is built for maximum resilience and comes with a 99.99% availability SLA. Traffic between AWS and Equinix edge devices is encrypted with MACsec by default.
During the preview, you can order 1 Gbps Interconnect – last mile connections at no charge to the US West (N. California) Region through the San Jose metro and to the US East (N. Virginia) Region through the Northern Virginia metro. When Interconnect – last mile with Equinix becomes generally available, you’ll be able to scale bandwidth from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps in the console. You can create connections using the console, the AWS CLI, or the API. Partners can integrate using the open API package on GitHub. To learn more, see the AWS Interconnect – last mile documentation.

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports copying option groups during cross-Region snapshot copy

Amazon RDS for Oracle now lets you copy the option group associated with a DB snapshot when you copy that snapshot to another AWS Region.
Amazon RDS for Oracle uses option groups to enable and configure features that make it simple to manage your databases. Option groups are specific to the AWS Region where you create them. Previously, customers wanting to replicate RDS backups that had option groups to a different AWS Region had to copy the snapshot without the option group and then recreate the option group in the target Region before restoring the snapshot. Now, you no longer need to separate the steps and can instead initiate the snapshot copy and specify the option group copy in the same request as the snapshot copy.
The existing boolean parameter CopyOptionGroup on the CopyDBSnapshot API and CLI commands now also support cross-Region copy, along with cross-account copy. You can now copy options groups to the destination snapshot in the target AWS Region from the source snapshot by setting this parameter to true.
This capability is available on Amazon RDS for Oracle in all commercial AWS Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, review the Amazon RDS API Documentation.
