AWS announces AWS Interconnect – multicloud connectivity with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in preview

AWS announces the public preview of AWS Interconnect — multicloud with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Customers have been adopting multicloud strategies while migrating more applications to the cloud. They do so for many reasons including interoperability requirements, the freedom to choose technology that best suits their needs, and the ability to build and deploy applications on any environment with greater ease and speed. Previously, when interconnecting workloads across multiple cloud service providers (CSPs), customers had to go the route of a ‘do-it-yourself’ multicloud approach, leading to complexities of building and managing global multi-layered networks at scale. AWS Interconnect – multicloud is the first purpose-built product of its kind and a new way of how clouds connect and talk to each other, allowing customers to quickly provision resilient, scalable private connections to other cloud providers.
OCI is the latest CSP to adopt the open specification that powers AWS Interconnect. This allows AWS to provide a consistent, simple experience to our customers on OCI (preview), Google Cloud (Generally Available), and Microsoft Azure (coming later in 2026).
Interconnect – multicloud is available in preview with OCI in the us-east-1 (N. Virginia) AWS Region. You can create a preview Interconnect using the AWS Management Console, Command Line Interface (CLI), or API. For more information, see the AWS Interconnect – multicloud documentation.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for PostgreSQL announces Amazon RDS Extended Support minor versions 11.22-rds.20260224, 12.22-rds.20260224, and 13.23-rds.20260224. We recommend that you upgrade to these versions to fix known security vulnerabilities and bugs in prior versions of PostgreSQL. Amazon RDS Extended Support provides up to three additional years of critical security and bug fixes beyond a major version’s end of standard support date, giving you more time to upgrade to a new major version. Learn more about Extended Support in the Amazon RDS User Guide. You can upgrade your databases during scheduled maintenance windows using automatic minor version upgrades. To simplify operations at scale, enable automatic minor version upgrades and use the AWS Organizations Upgrade Rollout Policy to orchestrate thousands of upgrades in phases, first to development environments before upgrading production systems. You can also use Amazon RDS Blue/Green deployments with physical replication to minimize downtime for minor version upgrades. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale PostgreSQL deployments in the cloud. See Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Pricing for pricing details and regional availability. Create or update a fully managed Amazon RDS database in the Amazon RDS Management Console or by using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).
