AWS Application Migration Service supports IPv6

AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) for both service communication and application migrations. Organizations can migrate applications that use IPv6 addressing, enabling transitions to modern network infrastructures.
You can connect to AWS MGN using new dual-stack service endpoints that support both IPv4 and IPv6 communications. When migrating applications, you can transfer replication data using IPv4 or IPv6 while maintaining network connections and security. Then, during testing and cutover phases, you can use your chosen network configuration (IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack) to launch servers in your target environment. This feature is available in every AWS Region that supports AWS MGN and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) dual-stack endpoints. For supported regions, see the AWS MGN Supported AWS Regions and Amazon EC2 Endpoints documentation. To learn more about AWS MGN, visit our product page or documentation. To get started, sign in to the AWS Application Migration Service Console.

Amazon Cognito identity pools now support private connectivity with AWS PrivateLink

Amazon Cognito identity pools now support AWS PrivateLink, enabling you to securely exchange federated identities for AWS credentials through private connectivity between your virtual private cloud (VPC) and Cognito. This eliminates the need to route authentication traffic over the public internet, providing enhanced security for your workloads. Identity pools map authenticated and guest identities to your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and provide temporary AWS credentials, with this new feature, through a secure and private connection. You can use PrivateLink connections in all AWS Regions where Amazon Cognito identity pools are available, except AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Creating VPC endpoints on AWS PrivateLink will incur additional charges; refer to AWS PrivateLink pricing page for details. You can get started by creating an AWS PrivateLink VPC interface endpoint for Amazon Cognito identity pools using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS Software Development Kits (SDKs), AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), or AWS CloudFormation. To learn more, refer to the documentation on creating a VPC interface endpoint and Amazon Cognito’s developer guide.

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser introduces Web Content Filtering

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now includes Web Content Filtering, a comprehensive security and compliance feature that enables organizations to control and monitor web content access. This new capability allows administrators to define granular access policies, block specific URLs or entire domain categories using 25+ predefined categories, and seamlessly integrate with Session Logger for enhanced monitoring and compliance reporting. While existing Chrome policies for domain control remain supported, Web Content Filtering provides a more comprehensive way to control web access through category-based filtering and improved logging capabilities. Organizations can better manage their remote work security and compliance requirements through centralized policy management that scales across the enterprise. IT security teams can implement default-deny policies for high-security environments, while compliance officers benefit from detailed logging and monitoring capabilities. The feature maintains flexibility by allowing customized policies and exceptions based on specific business needs. This feature is available at no additional cost in 10 AWS Regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore). WorkSpaces Secure Browser offers pay-as-you go pricing. To get started with WorkSpaces Secure Browser, see Getting Started with Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser. You can enable this feature in your AWS console and automatically migrate any browser policies for URL Blocklists or URL Allowlists. To learn more about the feature, please refer to the feature documentation.

Amazon CloudWatch SDK supports optimized JSON, CBOR protocols

Amazon CloudWatch announces support for both the JSON and Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) protocols in the CloudWatch SDK, enabling lower latency and improved performance for CloudWatch customers. The SDK will automatically use JSON or CBOR as its new default communication protocol, offering customers a lower end-to-end processing latency as well as reduced payload sizes, application client side CPU, and memory usage. Customers use the CloudWatch SDK either directly or through Infrastructure as Code solutions to manage their monitoring resources. Reducing control plane operations latency and payload size helps customer optimize their operational maintenance and resources usage and costs. JSON and the CBOR data formats are standards designed to enable better performance over the traditional AWS Query protocol. The CloudWatch SDK for JSON and CBOR protocols support is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon CloudWatch is available and for all generally available AWS SDK language variants. To leverage the performance improvements, customers can install the latest SDK version here. To learn more about the AWS SDK, see Amazon Developer tools.

Amazon ElastiCache Serverless now supports same-slot WATCH command

Today, we are announcing that Amazon ElastiCache Serverless now supports the WATCH command for same-slot transactions, helping developers build more reliable applications with improved data consistency in high-concurrency scenarios. With this launch, the WATCH command makes transactions conditional, ensuring they execute only when monitored keys remain unchanged. For ElastiCache Serverless, the WATCH command works with transactions that operate on keys within the same hash slot as the watched keys. When applications attempt to watch keys that are not in the same hash slot, they’ll receive a CROSSSLOT error. Developers can control key placement by using hash tags in their key names to ensure keys hash to the same slot. The transaction will also be aborted when ElastiCache Serverless cannot guarantee the state of watched keys. WATCH command support is available in all AWS regions where ElastiCache Serverless is supported at no additional cost. To get started, create transactions using the WATCH command through your preferred client library. To learn more about conditional transactions and the WATCH command, see the ElastiCache Serverless documentation, and the Valkey transactions documentation.
