AWS Network Firewall now supports firewall state change notifications through Amazon EventBridge

AWS Network Firewall now integrates with Amazon EventBridge to provide real-time notifications for firewall state changes and configuration updates. This new capability enables you to monitor critical firewall operations including firewall configuration updates and endpoint status modifications across your network security infrastructure. You gain immediate visibility into changes affecting AWS Managed Rules, Partner Managed Rules, and firewall configurations. With EventBridge integration, you gain enhanced visibility into your firewall operations in real-time. You can build automated workflows to send notifications through Amazon SNS, create tickets in your IT service management (ITSM) systems, or integrate with third-party security information and event management (SIEM) solutions. This integration helps you maintain better operational awareness of your network security infrastructure and respond quickly to configuration changes or potential issues. AWS Network Firewall state change notifications through Amazon EventBridge are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall and Amazon EventBridge is currently available. To learn more about AWS Network Firewall EventBridge integration, visit the AWS Network Firewall documentation. For information about Amazon EventBridge, see the Amazon EventBridge documentation.

Amazon Bedrock batch inference now supports the Converse API format

Amazon Bedrock batch inference now supports the Converse API as a model invocation type, enabling you to use a consistent, model-agnostic input format for your batch workloads. Previously, batch inference required model-specific request formats using the InvokeModel API. Now, when creating a batch inference job, you can select Converse as the model invocation type and structure your input data using the standard Converse API request format. Output for Converse batch jobs follows the Converse API response format. With this feature, you can use the same unified request format for both real-time and batch inference, simplifying prompt management and reducing the effort needed to switch between models. You can configure the Converse model invocation type through both the Amazon Bedrock console and the API. This capability is available in all AWS Regions that support Amazon Bedrock batch inference. To get started, see Create a batch inference job and Format and upload your batch inference data in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.

ARC Region switch adds three new capabilities: post-recovery workflows, RDS orchestration and AWS provider support for Terraform

Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) Region switch helps customers orchestrate the failover of their multi-Region applications to achieve a bounded recovery time in the event of a Regional impairment. It automates multi-Region disaster recovery, reducing engineering effort and eliminating operational overhead when recovering applications across multiple AWS accounts and Regions. Region switch now includes three new capabilities: post-recovery workflows, native RDS execution blocks, and AWS provider for Terraform support. Post-recovery workflows. Disaster recovery doesn’t end when customers failover to a standby Region. After orchestrating a failover or failback, customers must prepare the other Region for the next recovery event. Today, this requires manual coordination of scaling, recreating read replicas, and validating configurations. Post-recovery workflows help customers automate these preparation steps. With this launch, post-recovery workflows support the custom action Lambda execution block, Amazon RDS create read replica execution block, ARC Region switch plan execution block, and the manual approval execution block. Customers can create read replicas, run custom logic via Lambda functions, add manual approval gates, and embed child plans for complex orchestration as part of post-recovery. Post-recovery workflows are available for active/passive deployments and can be triggered manually. RDS execution blocks. Coordinating Amazon RDS database recovery during Regional failover requires manual steps to promote read replicas and recreate replication, introducing delays and errors. Region switch now natively supports two Amazon RDS execution blocks that automate RDS recovery orchestration. The RDS promote read replica execution block orchestrates promotion of a read replica to a standalone instance during failover. The RDS create read replica execution block orchestrates replica creation as part of post-recovery workflows. AWS provider for Terraform support. Region switch is now supported by the AWS provider for Terraform, enabling customers to manage disaster recovery plans as Infrastructure-as-Code and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines alongside application deployments.
To learn more, about AWS provider support for Terraform, visit Terraform provider documentation. To learn about post-recovery workflows in action, read the post-recovery workflow tutorial. To get started with Region switch, read our launch blog or documentation.
