Amazon ECS Managed Daemons now support non-critical daemons

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now support non-critical Managed Daemons for ECS Managed Instances. You can configure a daemon as non-critical so that your mission-critical application tasks continue running uninterrupted, even when a daemon fails, stops, or becomes unhealthy.
Amazon ECS Managed Daemons lets you centrally deploy and manage software agents independently of application deployments to ensure consistent coverage and compliance across your container infrastructure. For some mission-critical applications, uninterrupted execution of application tasks may matter more than auxiliary daemon functionality like logging or metrics collection. With this launch, you can now configure a managed daemon as non-critical so that its failure does not cause your application tasks to churn. When a non-critical daemon task fails, stops, or becomes unhealthy, the container instance remains active, your existing application tasks continue running uninterrupted, ECS continues placing new application tasks on it, and instance registration is never blocked, so your tasks launch immediately even when the daemon fails to start. Amazon ECS emits an EventBridge event when a daemon task fails to start and records service action logs for both critical and non-critical daemons, giving you full observability into daemon health.
To get started, you can use AWS Console, CLI, CloudFormation, or AWS SDKs to create a non-critical daemon by setting the critical parameter to false when creating or updating a daemon. Non-critical daemons are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon ECS Managed Daemons are supported. To learn more, refer to our documentation page.

Amazon Aurora MySQL now supports multi-source replication and delayed replication

Starting today, Amazon Aurora MySQL supports two new replication capabilities: multi-source replication and delayed replication. Multi-source replication lets a single Aurora MySQL cluster replicate from multiple source databases at the same time, making it easier to consolidate data from separate MySQL databases. This enables critical use-cases, such as merging shards or aggregating data from separate databases (e.g. regional or departmental instances) into a central location for operational workflows, such as reporting and backups. To learn more, please refer to the MySQL multi-source replication documentation. Delayed replication lets you configure a binlog replica to intentionally lag behind its source by a set period of time, giving you a simple safeguard against human error and logical data corruption. If a harmful change is made on the source, you can recover quickly by stopping replication to the replica before the change is applied and promoting it, without performing a full database restore. A delayed replica also provides a convenient fallback during upgrades and a way to inspect an earlier state of your data. To learn more, please refer to the MySQL delayed replication documentation. Together, these capabilities give you greater flexibility and stronger data protection when replicating into Aurora MySQL. Multi-source replication and Delayed replication are supported on Aurora MySQL version 8.4.8 and higher, in all AWS Regions where Aurora MySQL is available. For additional information on Aurora MySQL disaster recovery, see the guidance from our solutions library. To learn more, please refer to Aurora MySQL 8.4 release notes. Amazon Aurora is designed for high performance and availability at global scale with full MySQL compatibility. It provides scale-to-zero serverless compute, Aurora Global Database for multi-Region resilience, Aurora I/O-Optimized for improved price performance on I/O-intensive workloads, and built-in security and continuous backups. To get started, take a look at Aurora’s getting started page.

Amazon CloudFront announces API support for flat-rate pricing plans

Starting today, customers can subscribe and manage flat-rate pricing plans programmatically using the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, CloudFormation, CDK, or the PricingPlanManager API.
CloudFront flat-rate plans give you one monthly price covering global content delivery, WAF, DDoS, DNS, logging, and edge compute, with no usage-based overage charges regardless of traffic spikes or attacks. Previously, customers could only subscribe to flat-rate pricing plans using the console, which required manual steps when using the API or infrastructure as code (IaC) like CloudFormation to create and manage distributions. Now, customers can programmatically subscribe, upgrade, downgrade, and cancel flat-rate pricing plans using the API or IaC tools.
Paid plans support an optional two-phase activation flow: you first create the plan, then approve it to begin billing. This prevents you from being committed to charges before you confirm, and makes the API well-suited for automated workflows and agents that provision infrastructure on your behalf. Free plans activate immediately and don’t require approval. To learn more, refer to the Getting started with the PricingPlanManager API. There are no additional fees for using the API to manage flat-rate pricing plans.

Second-generation AWS Outposts racks now in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Second-generation AWS Outposts racks are now supported in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. Outposts racks extend AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any on-premises data center or colocation space for a truly consistent hybrid experience. Organizations from startups to enterprises and the public sector can now order their Outposts racks connected to the new supported regions, optimizing for their latency and data residency needs. Outposts allows customers to run workloads that need low latency access to on-premises systems locally while connecting back to their home Region for application management. Customers can also use Outposts and AWS services to manage and process data that needs to remain on-premises to meet data residency requirements. This regional expansion provides additional flexibility in the AWS Regions that customers’ Outposts can connect to. To learn more about second-generation Outposts racks, read this blog post and user guide. For the most updated list of countries and territories and the AWS Regions where second-generation Outposts racks are supported, check out the Outposts rack FAQs page.

Amazon Connect Customer announces general availability of agentic CX designer

Amazon Connect Customer announces the general availability of agentic CX designer, a no-code canvas for designing and deploying AI-powered self-service experiences. You can now build and launch voice and digital experiences that bring agentic and deterministic AI together to transform how you serve customers with the control and reliability enterprises demand. Your business teams users can go from designing conversations and integrating with the systems that run your business, to testing, to launching production-ready experiences in weeks, not months.
Agentic CX designer gives you the clarity of a flowchart with the power of a large language model. On a visual canvas you define the logic, guardrails, and integrations, and the model handles the natural conversation. For outcomes that have to be exact, such as eligibility, approvals, routing, or compliance, you define the workflow and the conversation follows it. You build, test, and deploy in the same place, so the team that designs an experience can validate it and put it into production without writing code or handing the work to engineering.

Amazon Quick adds new tool settings and Model Context Protocol (MCP) sync support for connectors

Amazon Quick connectors let users leverage tools and services such as Outlook, Slack, Salesforce, Jira, and homegrown MCP servers directly into their workflows across chat, agents, apps, flows, and deep research. Today, Amazon Quick introduces new tool settings and MCP sync support that give admins and connector owners more control over how connectors are deployed and kept up to date.
Connector owners and admins can now selectively enable or disable individual tools within a connector to ensure only approved tools are available to end users. Additionally, new tool permission settings let connector owners decide which tools require consent before proceeding or give end users the flexibility to decide for themselves. Lastly, MCP sync keeps connectors current as external MCP servers add new tools, update descriptions, and evolve their capabilities, ensuring users always have the latest information to get their work done.
These features are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Quick is available. To learn more, visit the Amazon Quick User Guide.
