Amazon CloudFront announces support for mutual TLS authentication

Amazon CloudFront announces support for mutual TLS Authentication (mTLS), a security protocol that requires both the server and client to authenticate each other using X.509 certificates, enabling customers to validate client identities at CloudFront’s edge locations. Customers can now ensure only clients presenting trusted certificates can access their distributions, helping protect against unauthorized access and security threats. Previously, customers had to spend ongoing effort implementing and maintaining their own client access management solutions, leading to undifferentiated heavy lifting. Now with the support for mutual TLS, customers can easily validate client identities at the AWS edge before connections are established with their application servers or APIs. Example use cases include B2B secure API integrations for enterprises and client authentication for IoT. For B2B API security, enterprises can authenticate API requests from trusted third parties and partners using mutual TLS. For IoT use cases, enterprises can validate that devices are authorized to receive proprietary content such as firmware updates. Customers can leverage their existing third-party Certificate Authorities or AWS Private Certificate Authority to sign the X.509 certificates. With Mutual TLS, customers get the performance and scale benefits of CloudFront for workloads that require client authentication. Mutual TLS authentication is available to all CloudFront customers at no additional cost. Customers can configure mutual TLS with CloudFront using the AWS Management Console, CLI, SDK, CDK, and CloudFormation. For detailed implementation guidance and best practices, visit CloudFront Mutual TLS (viewer) documentation.

Amazon EC2 announces interruptible Capacity Reservations

Today, Amazon EC2 announces interruptible Capacity Reservations to help you better utilize your reserved capacity and save costs. On-Demand Capacity Reservations (ODCRs) help you reserve compute capacity in a specific Availability Zone for any duration. When ODCRs are not in use, you can now make them temporarily available as interruptible ODCRs, enabling other workloads within your organization to utilize them while preserving your ability to reclaim the capacity for critical operations. By repurposing unused capacity as interruptible ODCRs, workloads suitable for flexible, fault-tolerant operations—such as batch processing, data analysis, and machine learning training can benefit from temporarily available capacity. Reservation owners can reclaim their capacity at any time, while consumers of interruptible ODCRs will receive an interruption notice before termination to allow for graceful shutdown or checkpointing before. Interruptible ODCRs are now available at no additional cost to all Capacity Reservations customers. Refer to the AWS Capabilities by Region website for the feature’s regional availability. CloudFormation support will be coming soon. For more details, please refer to the Capacity Reservations user guide.

AWS IoT Core now supports IoT thing registry data retrieval from IoT rules

AWS IoT Core announces a new capability to dynamically retrieve IoT thing registry data using an IoT rule, enhancing your ability to filter, enrich, and route IoT messages. Using the new get_registry_data() inline rule function, you can access IoT thing registry data, such as device attributes, device type, and group membership and leverage this information directly in IoT rules. For example, your rule can filter AWS IoT Core connectivity lifecycle events and then retrieve thing attributes (such as “test” or “production” device) to inform routing of lifecycle events to different endpoints for downstream processing. You can also use this feature to enrich or route IoT messages with registry data from other devices. For instance, you can add a sensor’s threshold temperature from IoT thing registry to the messages relayed by its gateway. To get started, connect your devices to AWS IoT Core and store your IoT device data in IoT thing registry. You can then use IoT rules to retrieve your registry data. This capability is available in all AWS regions where AWS IoT Core is present. For more information refer to the developer guide and API documentation.
