Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports cross-Region replicas with additional storage volumes

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports cross-Region replicas with additional storage volumes. With additional storage volumes, customers can add up to three storage volumes, each with up to 64 TiB, in addition to the primary storage volume for their database instance. As a result, customers get flexibility to add or remove storage with evolving workload demands, without incurring application downtime, and set up their database instance with up to 256 TiB storage. Now, with support for cross-Region replicas, customers that set up database instances with cross-Region replicas for business-critical applications also get the benefit of using additional storage volumes for storage flexibility. When you create a cross-Region replica for a database instance that is set up with additional storage volumes, Amazon RDS for Oracle automatically configures the same storage layout on the replica. Subsequently, you can apply changes to additional storage volumes on the primary instance and the replica using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. In disaster recovery situations, you can promote a cross-Region replica to serve as the new standalone database, or execute a switchover to reverse roles between the primary database and the replica to meet low recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) for business critical applications. You will need an Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE) license to use replicas in mounted mode, and an additional Oracle Active Data Guard license to use replicas in read-only mode. We recommend consulting your legal team or licensing expert to verify Oracle license requirements for your specific use case. Amazon RDS for Oracle cross-Region replicas with additional storage volumes is available in all AWS Regions including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, see Amazon RDS for Oracle User Guide.

New Partner Revenue Measurement gives visibility into AWS service consumption

Today, AWS announces the launch of Partner Revenue Measurement, a new capability that gives AWS Partners visibility into how their solutions impact AWS service consumption across partner-managed and customer-managed accounts.
Partner Revenue Measurement allows Partners to better understand their AWS revenue impact and product consumption patterns. Partners can now tag AWS resources using the product code from their AWS Marketplace listing with tag key: aws-apn-id and tag value: pc:<AWS Marketplace product-code> to quantify and measure the AWS revenue impact of that solution.
Partner Revenue Measurement is generally available in all commercial regions. To learn more about implementing Partner Revenue Measurement, review the onboarding guide for more information.

Change the server-side encryption type of Amazon S3 objects

You can now change the server-side encryption type of encrypted objects in Amazon S3 without any data movement. You can use the UpdateObjectEncryption API to atomically change the encryption key of your objects regardless of the object size or storage class. With S3 Batch Operations, you can use UpdateObjectEncryption at scale to standardize the encryption type on entire buckets of objects while preserving object properties and S3 Lifecycle eligibility. Customers across many industries face increasingly stringent audit and compliance requirements on data security and privacy. A common requirement for these compliance frameworks is more rigorous encryption standards for data-at-rest, where organizations must encrypt data using a key management service. With UpdateObjectEncryption, customers can now change the encryption type of existing encrypted objects to move from Amazon S3 managed server-side encryption (SSE-S3) to use server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS). You can also change the customer-managed KMS key used to encrypt your data to comply with custom key rotation standards or enable the use of S3 Bucket Keys to reduce your KMS requests. The Amazon S3 UpdateObjectEncryption API is available in all AWS Regions. To get started, you can use the AWS Management Console or the latest AWS SDKs to update the server-side encryption type of your objects. To learn more, please visit the documentation.

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) introduces pre-warming with WarmThroughput for your tables

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) now supports table pre-warming, allowing you to proactively prepare both new and existing tables to meet future traffic demands. This capability is available for tables in both provisioned and on-demand capacity modes, including multi-Region replicated tables. Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, highly available, and managed Apache Cassandra–compatible database service. Amazon Keyspaces is serverless, so you pay for only the resources that you use and you can build applications that serve thousands of requests per second with virtually unlimited throughput and storage. While Amazon Keyspaces automatically scales to accommodate growing workloads, certain scenarios like application launches, marketing campaigns, or seasonal events can create sudden traffic spikes that exceed normal scaling patterns. With pre-warming, you can now manually specify your expected peak throughput requirements during table creation or update operations, ensuring your tables are immediately ready to handle large traffic surges without scaling delays or increased error rates. The pre-warming process is non-disruptive and runs asynchronously, allowing you to continue making other table modifications while pre-warming is in progress. Pre-warming incurs a one-time charge based on the difference between your specified values and the baseline capacity. The feature is now available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon Keyspaces is offered. To learn more, visit the pre-warming launch blog or Amazon Keyspaces documentation.

Amazon Bedrock now supports server-side custom tools using the Responses API

Amazon Bedrock now supports server-side tools in the Responses API using OpenAI API-compatible service endpoints. Bedrock already supports client-side tool use with the Converse, Chat Completions, and Responses APIs. Now, with the launch of server-side tool use for Responses API, Amazon Bedrock calls the tools directly without going through a client, enabling your AI applications to perform real-time, multi-step actions such as searching the web, executing code, and updating databases within the organizational, governance, compliance, and security boundaries of your AWS accounts. You can either submit your own custom Lambda function to run custom tools or use AWS-provided tools, such as notes and tasks.
Server-side tools using the Responses API is available starting today with OpenAI’s GPT OSS 20B/120B models in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), South America (São Paulo), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), and Europe (Milan) AWS Regions. Support for other regions and models is coming soon.
To get started, visit the service documentation.
