AWS Network Firewall announces new price reductions

AWS Network Firewall has introduced two pricing improvements for customers. The service has added the hourly and data processing discounts on NAT Gateways that are service-chained with Network Firewall secondary endpoints. Additionally, AWS Network Firewall has removed additional data processing charges for Advanced Inspection, which enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection of encrypted network traffic.
Previously, NAT Gateway discounts were limited to primary Network Firewall endpoints, and customers paid additional data processing charges when using Advanced Inspection for TLS inspection in select AWS regions. With these improvements, the NAT Gateway discounts now apply when service-chained with both primary and secondary firewall endpoints. Customers also no longer pay the additional data processing charge for Advanced Inspection that ranged from $0.001/GB to $0.009/GB in 13 AWS regions: Middle East (Bahrain), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), EU (Milan), South America (São Paulo), US West (N. California), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific (Melbourne).
These changes help to reduce costs for architectures that use Network Firewall’s multiple VPC endpoint capability and TLS inspection features. Multiple VPC endpoints allow you to connect 50 VPCs per Availability Zone to a single Network Firewall, helping to reduce operational complexity and lower costs as you protect more VPCs. By removing additional data processing charges when using Advanced Inspection, customers can now implement TLS inspection more cost-effectively across their network security architecture.
These pricing improvements are available in all AWS regions where Network Firewall is offered and are applied automatically to eligible configurations. No action is required from customers.
To learn more, see AWS Network Firewall pricing and the AWS Network Firewall service documentation.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports browser profiles

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports browser profiles, enabling you to reuse authentication state across multiple browser sessions without repeated login flows. This feature reduces session setup time from minutes to tens of seconds for enterprise customers processing hundreds or thousands of automated browser sessions daily.
Browser profiles persist and reuse browser data including cookies and local storage across multiple sessions. You authenticate to a website once and save the session to a browser profile. When you start a new session using that saved profile, your authentication state is preserved, and you remain logged in. This enables agents to perform tasks on authenticated websites without manual login intervention. You can choose flexible session modes for both read-only and persistent operations, enabling parallel processing where multiple sessions use the same profile simultaneously.
This feature is available in all 14 AWS Regions where Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser is available: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Seoul), and Canada (Central).

AWS Glue launches native REST API connector for universal data integration

AWS Glue now offers a native REST-based connector that enables customers to easily read data from any source with a REST-based API. Customers can now create custom connectors to any REST-enabled data source and seamlessly integrate that data into their AWS Glue ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) jobs. This capability extends AWS Glue’s existing connectivity to 100+ non-AWS data sources through 60+ native connectors and additional options on AWS Marketplace. Previously, connecting to proprietary systems or emerging platforms required customers to build custom connectors by providing specialized JARs with the necessary libraries. The new native REST API connector eliminates this complexity, making it easier to integrate data from any REST-enabled source. It reduces operational overhead by eliminating the need to install, update, or manage custom libraries, freeing teams from maintenance burdens. The connector also enhances flexibility, enabling organizations to quickly adapt to new data sources as business needs evolve. It also streamlines ETL management by allowing data engineers to focus on data transformation and business logic rather than spending time building and maintaining connector infrastructure. The AWS Glue REST API connector is available in all AWS commercial regions where AWS Glue is available. You can start using the AWS Glue REST API connector using AWS Glue APIs, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS Software Development Kit (SDK). To get started, see AWS Glue documentation.
