Amazon Cognito now supports OAuth 2.0 token exchange

Amazon Cognito now supports OAuth 2.0 token exchange (RFC 8693). Amazon Cognito helps you add sign-up, sign-in, and access control to your web applications, mobile applications, and AI agents. With token exchange, a service or AI agent acting on a user’s behalf can exchange the user’s token for a new token scoped to a specific downstream service. Previously, a service that called another service on a user’s behalf had to forward the user’s original token or build and maintain its own token minting logic.
With token exchange, you can issue a new token that has a narrower scope than the original token, is bound to a single audience, and comes without a refresh token. When you include an actor token, Cognito adds an act claim that identifies the intermediary, so downstream services can tell a request that an agent made on a user’s behalf from one the user made directly. For example, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server can exchange a user’s token for a narrowly scoped token to call a backend API, with the act claim recording the MCP server as the actor.
You can exchange tokens through the token endpoint or with the new GetDerivedToken API. Token exchange is available on the Essentials and Plus feature plans in all AWS Regions where Amazon Cognito is available. To learn more, see exchanging tokens for downstream services in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.

The next generation AgentCore runtime is now the default

Starting today, new runtimes in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore use the next generation of AgentCore runtime by default. The new runtime restores each session from a snapshot of your initialized agent, scales compute and memory with the work, and scales idle agents to zero. Every session still runs in its own hardware-isolated Firecracker microVM. Your agents can run heavy work like compiling a large codebase, driving a browser, or loading a local model inside the session. 
Sessions scale to 8 vCPU and 32 GB of memory and support container images up to 10 GB. On a 2 GB image, sessions start in under 2 seconds at P75, down from 29.7 seconds on the previous generation. Idle agents scale to zero, and memory is reclaimed within minutes of release. For multi-turn agents, that means up to 68% less billed memory per session.
Existing runtimes stay on the current version until you move them. To move an existing runtime, or to use the next generation in a Region where it isn’t the default yet, set platformVersion to V2 when you create or update a runtime. To keep a new runtime on the current version, set platformVersion to V1.
The new AgentCore Runtime is now the default runtime in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (São Paulo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Milan), Europe (Paris), Europe (Spain), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Thailand), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo).  To learn more, visit the AgentCore runtime documentation or the AWS Blog.

EC2 Image Builder console now integrates with the DevOps Agent for troubleshooting and resource creation

EC2 Image Builder now integrates with the AWS DevOps Agent directly in the Image Builder console, enabling you to troubleshoot failed image pipelines and create resources directly from the console chat panel. You can diagnose up to 50 failed pipelines at once and ask follow-up questions in the same conversation. You can also choose to create resources by describing what you want, and the agent populates the console with values the service has already validated.
With this integration, diagnosing a failed pipeline no longer requires manually inspecting build logs, cross-referencing error codes, or iterating through configuration fixes, saving you significant time and expertise. The agent reads build logs, workflow steps, components, and network configuration, then provides the root cause and the steps to fix it. For resource creation,  the agent verifies the configuration before populating the console for you to review and submit. If you troubleshoot or build with your own AI agents, the new EC2 Image Builder skill in the AWS Agent Toolkit provides you the same troubleshooting and creation capabilities.
This feature is available in all commercial regions. To get started, open the EC2 Image Builder console and use the DevOps Agent from the console panel. For more information, see the EC2 Image Builder documentation and for pricing refer DevOps agent Pricing page.

Amazon Route 53 Domains now supports self-service restore for expired and deleted domains

Amazon Route 53 Domains now lets you restore an expired or recently deleted domain yourself, using the Amazon Route 53 console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Previously, restoring a domain required a request to AWS Support. Now you can recover a domain lost to a missed renewal, an expired payment method, or an accidental deletion, and restore the website, email, and applications that depend on it.
To restore a domain, you enter the domain name, review the restoration price, accept the charge, and submit the request. Route 53 works with the top-level domain (TLD) registry to reactivate the registration and return the domain to your AWS account. Most TLD registries support restoration, and each registry sets how long after expiration or deletion a domain can still be restored. Restoring a domain typically costs more than registering or renewing one.
To learn more, see Restoring an expired or deleted domain in the Route 53 Developer Guide, or visit the Amazon Route 53 Domains page. For a complete list of supported TLDs, see the Route 53 TLD list. For pricing, visit the Route 53 pricing page.

AWS Backup now supports resource modifiers for Amazon EKS restores

Today, AWS Backup announces support for resource modifiers when restoring Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) backups. Resource modifiers let you transform Kubernetes resources during a restore, so you can adapt a restored cluster to its target environment.
When you restore an EKS backup that has been copied across accounts or across AWS Regions, the restored cluster can carry references tied to the source environment, such as IAM roles, database endpoints, and Amazon ECR registry URIs. Previously, you had to locate and update these references manually after every restore, which was time consuming and error prone. With resource modifiers, you can define transformation rules once via a YAML file, and AWS Backup applies them automatically as part of the restore, improving the reliability of your cross-account and cross-Region disaster recovery workflows.
AWS Backup support for resource modifiers for Amazon EKS backups is available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To get started, see the AWS Backup Documentation and read the launch blog.

Amazon MWAA now supports fine-grained access control with IAM Identity Center and multi-team environments

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) now supports fine-grained access control, giving administrators precise control over who can access which workflows and resources in an Apache Airflow environment. Fine-grained access control is delivered through two new capabilities: IAM Identity Center integration and multi-team environments.
With IAM Identity Center integration, users sign in to the Apache Airflow UI with their corporate identity provider. Authorization is evaluated per request using IAM policies attached to IAM Identity Center Permission Sets, with condition keys that scope access by resource type (DAGs, connections, variables, pools, and more), action, and specific resource ID.
With multi-team environments, several teams can share a single MWAA environment. Each team gets its own DAG folder in Amazon S3, and users see only shared DAGs plus their own teams’ DAGs based on IAM Identity Center group membership. Teams reduce cost through shared infrastructure and simplify management by configuring environment settings once. Multi-team environments are based on the Apache Airflow multi-team feature, which is currently in preview.
These features are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon MWAA is available.
To learn more, visit the IAM Identity Center integration documentation and the multi-team environments documentation.

Amazon EKS Provisioned Control Plane now offers a 24 GB etcd database on 4XL and 8XL tiers

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now offers a larger 24 GB etcd database, up from 16 GB, for 4XL and 8XL Provisioned Control Plane clusters. etcd is the key-value store in the Kubernetes control plane that holds your cluster state, so its size limits how many Kubernetes objects your cluster can store. With 50% more capacity, you can run bigger clusters with more pods, jobs, events, and custom resources.
The larger database gives more headroom to workloads that create and update many Kubernetes objects, such as large-scale AI/ML training and inference, batch processing, and CI/CD pipelines. When the etcd database fills up, you can’t add or change objects in your cluster, so the extra headroom helps keep these workloads running as they scale.
To get the larger database, choose the 4XL or 8XL tier of Provisioned Control Plane on a cluster running EKS version 1.34 or later. Existing clusters on the 4XL and 8XL tiers running these versions get the larger database automatically, with no action required. The 24 GB etcd database is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Provisioned Control Plane is available. To learn more, see the Amazon EKS Provisioned Control Plane user guide.

AWS Cloud WAN now supports Flow Logs

AWS Cloud WAN now supports VPC Flow Logs, giving you central visibility into IP traffic across your global network. Flow Logs capture detailed information for each flow, so you can understand how traffic moves across your core network without leaving your AWS Cloud WAN account.
Until now, network administrators had to stitch together VPC Flow Logs from many VPCs, accounts, and Regions to see traffic across their global network. They often depended on other teams for access to those logs. Cloud WAN Flow Logs give core network owners one consolidated view of traffic between VPCs, Regions, and on-premises networks connected over AWS Direct Connect, AWS Site-to-Site VPN, or SD-WAN. You can use this data to troubleshoot connectivity and performance problems, plan capacity from historical bandwidth trends, find unusual traffic patterns, and keep records for security and compliance. Flow log records include IP addresses, ports, protocol, traffic volume, and packet-loss counters, along with Cloud WAN metadata such as segment, Region, service insertion hops and attachment details. You can turn on Flow Logs for an entire core network, a single core network edge, or individual attachments. You can publish them to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), or Amazon Data Firehose. Cloud WAN adds no charge for Flow Logs. Standard charges apply for each destination.
Cloud WAN Flow Logs are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Cloud WAN is available. You can get started with the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or API. To learn more, see AWS Cloud WAN Flow Logs user guide.

DeepSeek-V4-Pro, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash models now available on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

DeepSeek’s DeepSeek-V4-Pro, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash models are now available on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, expanding the portfolio of foundation models available to AWS customers. These three open-weight Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models, released under the MIT license, deliver frontier-class performance across reasoning, coding, and agentic workloads while activating only a fraction of their total parameters per token, enabling high efficiency at scale.
These models address different AI challenges with specialized capabilities:
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is designed for complex reasoning and high-quality text generation at flagship scale. This 1.6T-parameter MoE model activates 49B parameters per token and supports a 1M-token context window, making it well-suited for long-document analysis, multi-step reasoning, and demanding generation tasks that require maximum model capacity.
DeepSeek-V4-Flash delivers strong performance at significantly lower compute cost as an efficient 284B-parameter MoE model activating 13B parameters per token. It supports the same 1M-token context window as V4-Pro, making it ideal for latency-sensitive and cost-conscious production deployments across a wide range of language tasks.
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash provides next-generation agentic efficiency with native multimodal support. Built on a novel Causal Encoder-Decoder (CED) architecture with a 552B-parameter backbone, it activates just 8B parameters during prefill and 16B during decode, supporting a 1M-token context window and 384K max output tokens. Its Compressed Sparse Attention 2 (CSA2) and FP4 KV caching reduce the global KV cache footprint to roughly 1/4 of V4-Flash, delivering substantially improved cost efficiency for agentic workloads, coding, and vision tasks.
With SageMaker JumpStart, customers can deploy any of these models with just a few clicks to address their specific AI use cases.
To get started with these models, navigate to the SageMaker JumpStart model catalog in the SageMaker console or use the SageMaker Python SDK to deploy the models to your AWS account. For more information about deploying and using foundation models in SageMaker JumpStart, see the Amazon SageMaker JumpStart documentation.
