Amazon ECS advanced deployment strategies now available in AWS European Sovereign Cloud

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports built-in blue/green, linear, and canary deployment strategies in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, making software updates for containerized applications safer and allowing you to release new application versions faster with greater confidence. Built directly into Amazon ECS, these capabilities eliminate the need for custom deployment tooling while providing production-ready controls including deployment lifecycle hooks, bake time, and quick rollback.
With these strategies, Amazon ECS provisions a new application version alongside the existing version and allows you to validate it before shifting production traffic. Blue/green deployments shift traffic in a single step, linear deployments shift traffic in equal increments over a specified period, and canary deployments shift a small percentage initially before shifting the remainder. You can use deployment lifecycle hooks, including Lambda hooks and pause hooks, to run custom validation logic and approval workflows at specific deployment stages. You can also configure bake time to evaluate the new version after traffic has shifted, and roll back without downtime if regressions are identified. To automatically detect failures, configure Amazon CloudWatch alarms or Amazon ECS deployment circuit breaker, or initiate a rollback directly using the StopServiceDeployment API.
These capabilities are available for Amazon ECS services using Application Load Balancers (ALB), Network Load Balancers (NLB), and Amazon ECS Service Connect. You can configure deployments using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or infrastructure-as-code tools on new or existing Amazon ECS services. To learn more, see our documentation for Amazon ECS blue/green, linear, and canary deployments, and deployment lifecycle hooks.

Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2025

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2025 for Enterprise, Standard, and Developer editions. SQL Server 2025 brings AI integration directly into the database engine, enabling customers to invoke external REST endpoints from T-SQL without additional middleware. Customers running RDS for SQL Server can use this capability to integrate existing database workloads securely with AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon S3, and AWS Lambda, without re-architecting applications. This enables scenarios such as AI-powered query advisor, automated performance analysis, event-driven workflows, and calling custom web services on Amazon EC2. SQL Server 2025 introduces a new free edition for development and testing without licensing costs (Standard Developer Edition, or Dev-SE), and significant Standard Edition capacity increases up to 32 cores and 256 GB buffer pool memory. Standard Edition also gains Resource Governor, previously exclusive to Enterprise Edition. SQL Server 2025 also introduces a native vector data type for storing and querying vector embeddings directly within the database. Customers running earlier SQL Server versions on RDS can upgrade to SQL Server 2025 by modifying the DB engine version, and customers running SQL Server on premises can migrate to take advantage of these capabilities with fully managed infrastructure. For more information, see the Amazon RDS for SQL Server User Guide. See Amazon RDS for SQL Server Pricing for up-to-date pricing and regional availability.
