Amazon CloudFront now supports invalidation by cache tag

Amazon CloudFront now allows you to invalidate cached objects by cache tag, enabling you to remove groups of related content from CloudFront edge locations with a single invalidation request. Cache tag invalidation simplifies common operational workflows such as updating product information across multiple pages, managing legal takedown requests, handling regulatory compliance requests, and refreshing content across multi-tenant platforms. Previously, invalidating related objects that didn’t share a common URL path required tracking individual URLs or using broad wildcard patterns that could unnecessarily clear unrelated content. With invalidation by cache tag, developers and site reliability engineers can tag cached objects when returning an object by including a specified header in HTTP responses with comma-separated tag values. When needed, they can invalidate all objects sharing a tag in one request, maintaining high cache hit ratios while ensuring end users see fresh content within seconds. You can configure the header name through the Amazon CloudFront console, AWS CLI, or API, and assign multiple tags per object for flexible, precise cache management. Over the years, CloudFront has made improvements to propagation times. Currently, invalidations take effect in under 5 seconds at P95. The end-to-end completion time, which includes reporting the invalidation status back, is under 25 seconds at P95. Amazon CloudFront invalidation by cache tag is available in all AWS Regions where CloudFront is offered except China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet) and China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD). To learn more, view the Invalidations By Cache Tag documentation. Each cache tag is priced as one path. For details on pricing, refer to the CloudFront pricing page.

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal enhances PCoIP to DCV protocol migration

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now provides an enhanced experience for administrators migrating WorkSpaces from PCoIP to DCV protocol, including a guided console action for protocol modification, checkpoint snapshots for rollback support, and session blocking during migration. Amazon DCV is a high-performance streaming protocol built by AWS that powers Amazon WorkSpaces services. By migrating to DCV, customers gain access to broader operating system support including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025, enhanced security features such as certificate-based authentication and WebAuthN, and improved streaming performance. Administrators can now modify a WorkSpace’s streaming protocol directly from the AWS Management Console through a single-click action, in addition to the existing command line interface (CLI) and API methods. Before migration begins, WorkSpaces automatically takes a checkpoint snapshot, enabling administrators to restore to a known-good state if migration fails, ensuring no data loss. Session provisioning is also blocked during migration with clear error messaging for end users who attempt to connect, preventing connection attempts from interfering with the migration process. Together, these enhancements help administrators migrate WorkSpaces to DCV with greater confidence and operational simplicity. These enhancements are available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Personal is supported. To get started, sign in to the Amazon WorkSpaces console. For more information, see Modify protocols section in the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide. To learn more about Amazon WorkSpaces, visit the Amazon WorkSpaces product page.

Amazon Bedrock now offers OpenAI models, Codex, and Managed Agents (Limited Preview)

AWS and OpenAI are expanding their partnership to bring frontier intelligence to the infrastructure millions of organizations already trust. Enterprises want the most capable AI models and agents, with the security, operational maturity, and data governance that production workloads demand. Today, we’re bringing those together with three new offerings on Amazon Bedrock, all in limited preview: the latest OpenAI models, Codex, and Managed Agents powered by OpenAI.
First, the latest OpenAI models are available on Amazon Bedrock. For the first time, AWS customers can access OpenAI frontier models through the same Bedrock services they already use for model access, fine-tuning, and orchestration. OpenAI models on Bedrock inherit the enterprise controls customers depend on, including IAM, AWS PrivateLink, guardrails, encryption, and CloudTrail logging. Second, Codex on Amazon Bedrock brings the OpenAI coding agent into the AWS environments where enterprise teams already build. Customers authenticate with AWS credentials and run inference through Bedrock. Codex will be available through Bedrock via the Codex CLI, desktop app, and VS Code extension. Usage of both OpenAI models and Codex can be applied toward existing AWS cloud commitments. Lastly, Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents, powered by OpenAI, makes it fast to deploy production-ready OpenAI-powered agents on AWS. At the core are the latest OpenAI frontier models and the OpenAI agent harness, engineered for faster execution, sharper reasoning, and reliable steering of long-running tasks. Every agent has its own identity, logs each action, and runs in your environment with all inference on Amazon Bedrock. Managed Agents works with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, which provides the default compute environment.
