Amazon GameLift Streams launches Gen6-based stream classes and enhanced autoscaling for better performance and pricing

Today, Amazon GameLift Streams launched two new capabilities to optimize performance and cost: Gen6 stream classes and enhanced autoscaling with warm buffer. The new Gen6 stream classes provide a wider range of price performance options, while autoscaling enables customers to dynamically manage capacity scaling.  The seven new Gen6 stream classes available today are based on EC2 G6 instances powered by NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs, which provide up to 2x higher performance over Gen4 stream classes. The pro and ultra stream class deliver improved performance for graphics-intensive AAA games, while the medium and small stream class offer cost-efficient options for casual games. The gen6n_small stream class is available at $0.16/hour in us-east-2.  The enhanced autoscaling capabilities provide automatic capacity management that scales provisioned capacity dynamically with demand, helping customers optimize utilization and stream start time for new players. Developers can use the new capacity controls (minimum, maximum, and target-idle capacity) to precisely manage their scaling needs.  New Gen6 stream classes are available in five AWS Regions: US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), Europe (Frankfurt), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). Improved autoscaling is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon GameLift Streams is offered.

Amazon ECS Service Connect enhances observability with Envoy Access Logs

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Service Connect now supports Envoy access logs, providing deeper observability into request-level traffic patterns and service interactions. This new capability captures detailed per-request telemetry for end-to-end tracing, debugging, and compliance monitoring. Amazon ECS Service Connect makes it simple to build secure, resilient service-to-service communication across clusters, VPCs, and AWS accounts. It integrates service discovery and service mesh capabilities by automatically injecting AWS-managed Envoy proxies as sidecars that handle traffic routing, load balancing, and inter-service connectivity. Envoy Access logs capture detailed traffic metadata enabling request-level visibility into service communication patterns. This enables you to perform network diagnostics, troubleshoot issues efficiently, and maintain audit trails for compliance requirements. You can now configure access logs within ECS Service Connect by updating the ServiceConnectConfiguration to enable access logging. Query strings are redacted by default to protect sensitive data. Envoy access logs will output to the standard output (STDOUT) stream alongside application logs and flow through the existing ECS log pipeline without requiring additional infrastructure. This configuration supports all existing application protocols (HTTP, HTTP2, GRPC and TCP). This feature is available in AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) regions where Amazon ECS Service Connect is supported. To learn more, visit the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams now supports IPv6 for WebRTC

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (Amazon KVS) now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addressing for WebRTC. This release introduces dual-stack endpoint support, enabling developers to use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to stream video from millions of devices. The dual-stack support is designed to ensure that existing IPv4 implementations continue to work reliably while gaining IPv6 connectivity benefits. Moreover, the update simplifies transition to IPv6 addresses while eliminating the need for address translation equipment.
This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon KVS is offered, except Asia Pacific (Singapore) and China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet). For implementation details, refer to the Amazon KVS Developer Guide.

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports direct job submission from the Deadline Cloud Monitor

AWS Deadline Cloud now lets you submit rendering jobs directly from the Deadline Cloud Monitor desktop application. This new feature makes it easier to submit renders for applications that don’t have built-in Deadline Cloud plugins or submission scripts, expanding compatibility with content creation tools and streamlining your rendering workflows. Previously, you needed the command line interface (CLI) to submit job bundles. With this update, you can submit job bundles directly from Deadline Cloud Monitor desktop interface, managing jobs from start to finish in one place. It is particularly useful for legacy applications, specialized rendering tools, or custom workflows that lack built-in Deadline Cloud integration. To access direct job submission, download the latest Deadline Cloud Monitor desktop application (version 1.1.7) in the AWS Console. To learn more about AWS Deadline Cloud job submission capabilities, see the AWS Deadline Cloud documentation.

AWS Wickr launches admin APIs for programmatic network management at scale

AWS Wickr now provides a suite of admin APIs that empower administrators to programmatically manage secure communication networks at scale. These APIs enable you to automate critical administrative workflows including user lifecycle management, network configuration, and security group administration. With user lifecycle management APIs, you can automatically create users and assign security groups when employees join, or deactivate accounts when they leave. Network configuration APIs allow you to quickly create or delete networks on demand as your organization scales or restructures, and push standardized retention and federation policies across departments. Security group administration APIs enable automatic user placement based on directory attributes such as job function or clearance level. By connecting Wickr administration directly into your identity management systems, policy management frameworks, and automation pipelines, you can now manage secure communications infrastructure across thousands of users alongside your other cloud service integrations.
AWS Wickr is a security-first messaging and collaboration service designed to help keep your communications secure, private, and compliant. AWS Wickr protects messaging, voice and video calling, file sharing, screen sharing, and location sharing with end-to-end encryption. Customers have full administrative control over data and users, including single sign-on (SSO) integration. Administrators can enforce policies that set password complexity and retention rules, configure ephemeral messaging options, or remotely delete credentials. You can log conversations to a private data store so you can retain messages and files sent to and from the organization to meet compliance requirements. The AWS Wickr Admin APIs are available today in all AWS regions where AWS Wickr is currently supported, including AWS GovCloud (US-West). You can leverage these APIs through AWS SDKs, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or direct REST API calls. To learn more, see:
