Amazon EKS and Amazon EKS Distro now supports Kubernetes version 1.35

Kubernetes version 1.35 introduced several new features and bug fixes, and AWS is excited to announce that you can now use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon EKS Distro to run Kubernetes version 1.35. Starting today, you can create new EKS clusters using version 1.35 and upgrade existing clusters to version 1.35 using the EKS console, the eksctl command line interface, or through an infrastructure-as-code tool. Kubernetes version 1.35 introduces several key improvements, including In-Place Pod Resource Updates allowing CPU and memory adjustments without restarting Pods, and PreferSameNode Traffic Distribution prioritizing local endpoints before routing to remote nodes for reduced latency. The release brings Node Topology Labels via Downward API enabling Pods to access region and zone information without API server queries, alongside Image Volumes delivering data artifacts like AI models using OCI container images. To learn more about the changes in Kubernetes version 1.35, see our documentation and the Kubernetes project release notes. EKS now supports Kubernetes version 1.35 in all the AWS Regions where EKS is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can learn more about the Kubernetes versions available on EKS and instructions to update your cluster to version 1.35 by visiting EKS documentation. You can use EKS cluster insights to check if there are any issues that can impact your Kubernetes cluster upgrades. EKS Distro builds of Kubernetes version 1.35 are available through ECR Public Gallery and GitHub. Learn more about the EKS version lifecycle policies in the documentation.

AWS Network Firewall now supports GenAI traffic visibility and enforcement with Web category-based filtering

AWS Network Firewall now provides visibility into generative AI (GenAI) application traffic and supports traffic filtering based on web categories. This new capability simplifies governance by enabling you to identify and control access to GenAI services, social media platforms, streaming sites, and other web categories directly within your firewall rules using pre-defined URL categories. This approach of inspecting traffic based on URL categories helps security and compliance teams enforce consistent policies across their AWS environments while providing visibility into usage of emerging technologies like GenAI. You can now easily block access to inappropriate or high-risk domains, restrict GenAI tool usage to approved services, and meet regulatory requirements—all while reducing operational overhead. When combined with AWS Network Firewall’s TLS inspection feature, you can inspect the full URL path using category-based rules for even more granular control. This feature is available in all AWS commercial regions where AWS Network Firewall is supported. To learn more about URL category filtering in AWS Network Firewall, visit AWS Network Firewall product page and service documentation. You can get started by updating your stateful rule groups in the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs.

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports editing job name and description

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports editing job names and descriptions after submission. This new feature makes it easier to organize and identify jobs after submission by updating names or adding useful tracking details in the description field. Job names and descriptions are critical metadata for organizing and understanding between users and projects, often tracking things like shot and sequence number across systems. Previously they could only be set at job creation during submission, being able to edit them after submission allows you to fix issues in naming as well as add key tracking information to the job description for other users. You can edit job names and descriptions using the AWS SDK, Deadline client, and Deadline Monitor. To learn more see the AWS Deadline Cloud documentation.

AWS IAM Identity Center now supports IPv6

AWS IAM Identity Center now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) through new dual-stack endpoints. Customers can now connect to AWS IAM Identity Center using IPv6, IPv4, or dual-stack clients. The existing AWS IAM Identity Center endpoints supporting IPv4 remain available for backward compatibility. IAM Identity Center allows customers to enable workforce access to AWS managed applications and AWS accounts. When your client, such as a browsers or an application, makes a request to a dual-stack endpoint, the endpoint resolves to an IPv4 or IPv6 address, depending on the protocol used by your network and client. This launch helps you meet IPv6 compliance requirements, and minimize the need for complex NAT infrastructure. IPv6 support is available in all AWS Regions where IAM Identity Center is available, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the Taipei Region. To learn more, visit the IAM Identity Center User Guide.

Amazon WorkSpaces announces advanced printer redirection

AWS announces advanced printer redirection for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal, enabling Windows users to access the full feature set of their printers from their virtual desktop environments. With this feature, customers can now use printer-specific capabilities such as double-sided printing, paper tray selection, finishing options (stapling, hole-punching), and color management directly from their Windows WorkSpaces.
Advanced printer redirection addresses the need for specialized printing features that require printer-specific drivers rather than generic drivers. This capability is ideal for organizations with users who need advanced printing features for professional documents, labels, or specialized output. The feature includes configurable driver validation modes (exact match, partial match, or name-only matching) to balance compatibility with feature support, allowing administrators to optimize for their specific environment. When matching drivers are not found, WorkSpaces automatically falls back to basic printing mode, ensuring users can always print.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Personal is offered. Advanced printer redirection is supported on Windows WorkSpaces with Windows clients only, and requires WorkSpaces Agent version 2.2.0.2116 or later and Windows client version 5.31 or later. Matching printer drivers must be installed on both the WorkSpace and the client device.
For more information about advanced printer redirection in Amazon WorkSpaces, see Configure Printer Support for DCV in the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide, or visit the Amazon WorkSpaces page to learn more about virtual desktop solutions from AWS.
