Amazon EC2 announces interruptible Capacity Reservations

Today, Amazon EC2 announces interruptible Capacity Reservations to help you better utilize your reserved capacity and save costs. On-Demand Capacity Reservations (ODCRs) help you reserve compute capacity in a specific Availability Zone for any duration. When ODCRs are not in use, you can now make them temporarily available as interruptible ODCRs, enabling other workloads within your organization to utilize them while preserving your ability to reclaim the capacity for critical operations. By repurposing unused capacity as interruptible ODCRs, workloads suitable for flexible, fault-tolerant operations—such as batch processing, data analysis, and machine learning training can benefit from temporarily available capacity. Reservation owners can reclaim their capacity at any time, while consumers of interruptible ODCRs will receive an interruption notice before termination to allow for graceful shutdown or checkpointing before. Interruptible ODCRs are now available at no additional cost to all Capacity Reservations customers. Refer to the AWS Capabilities by Region website for the feature’s regional availability. CloudFormation support will be coming soon. For more details, please refer to the Capacity Reservations user guide.

AWS IoT Core now supports IoT thing registry data retrieval from IoT rules

AWS IoT Core announces a new capability to dynamically retrieve IoT thing registry data using an IoT rule, enhancing your ability to filter, enrich, and route IoT messages. Using the new get_registry_data() inline rule function, you can access IoT thing registry data, such as device attributes, device type, and group membership and leverage this information directly in IoT rules. For example, your rule can filter AWS IoT Core connectivity lifecycle events and then retrieve thing attributes (such as “test” or “production” device) to inform routing of lifecycle events to different endpoints for downstream processing. You can also use this feature to enrich or route IoT messages with registry data from other devices. For instance, you can add a sensor’s threshold temperature from IoT thing registry to the messages relayed by its gateway. To get started, connect your devices to AWS IoT Core and store your IoT device data in IoT thing registry. You can then use IoT rules to retrieve your registry data. This capability is available in all AWS regions where AWS IoT Core is present. For more information refer to the developer guide and API documentation.

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now supports HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) Interstitials for live streams, enabling broadcasters and streaming service providers to deliver seamless, personalized ad experiences across a wide range of modern video players. This capability allows customers to insert interstitial advertisements and promotions directly into live streams using the HLS Interstitials specification (RFC 8216), which is natively supported by popular players including HLS.js, Shaka Player, Bitmovin Player, and Apple devices running iOS 16.4, iPadOS 16.4, tvOS 16.4, and later. With HLS Interstitials, MediaTailor automatically generates the necessary metadata tags (Interstitial class EXT-X-DATERANGE with X-ASSET-LIST attributes) that signal to client players when and how to play interstitial content. This approach eliminates the need for custom player-side stitching logic, reducing development complexity and ensuring consistent playback behavior. The feature integrates with MediaTailor’s existing server-side ad insertion (SSAI) capabilities, delivering frame-accurate transitions with no buffering between content and interstitials. Server-side beaconing continues to work with HLS Interstitials, ensuring ad tracking and measurement workflows remain intact. HLS Interstitials for live streams is particularly valuable for sports broadcasts, live news, and event streaming where precise ad timing and minimal latency are critical. The feature supports pre-roll and mid-roll insertion, giving customers flexibility in how they monetize their live content. This launch complements MediaTailor’s existing HLS Interstitials support for VOD, rounding out support across Linear, Live, FAST, and VOD workflows. MediaTailor makes it easy to test and deploy—customers can rapidly enable or disable HLS Interstitials with a simple query parameter on the multi-variant manifest request, providing per playback session control without changing the underlying MediaTailor configuration. AWS Elemental MediaTailor HLS Interstitials for live streams is available today in all AWS Regions where MediaTailor operates. You pay only for the features you use, with no upfront commitments.

AWS Lambda announces enhanced error handling capabilities for Kafka event processing

AWS Lambda launches enhanced error handling capabilities for Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) and self-managed Apache Kafka (SMK) event sources. These capabilities allow customers to build custom retry configurations, optimize retries of failed messages, and send failed events to a Kafka topic as an on-failure destination, enabling customers to build resilient Kafka workloads with robust error handling strategies. Customers use Kafka event source mappings (ESM) with their Lambda functions to build their mission-critical Kafka applications. Kafka ESM offers robust error handling of failed events by retrying events with exponential backoff, and retaining failed events in on-failure destinations like Amazon SQS, Amazon S3, Amazon SNS. However, customers need customized error handling to meet stringent business and performance requirements. With this launch, developers can now exercise precise control over failed event processing and leverage Kafka topics as an additional on-failure destination when using Provisioned mode for Kafka ESM. Customers can now define specific retry limits and time boundaries for retry, automatically discarding failed records beyond these limits to customer-specified destination. They can now also set automatic retries of failed records in the batch and enhance their function code to report individual failed messages, optimizing the retry process. This feature is available in all AWS Commercial Regions where AWS Lambda’s Provisioned mode for Kafka ESM is available. To enable these capabilities, provide configuration parameters for your Kafka ESM in the ESM API, AWS Console, and AWS CLI. To learn more, read the Lambda ESM documentation and AWS Lambda pricing.

EC2 Image Builder now supports auto-versioning and enhances Infrastructure as Code experience

Amazon EC2 Image Builder now supports automatic versioning for recipes and automatic build version incrementing for components, reducing the overhead of managing versions manually. This enables you to increment versions automatically and dynamically reference the latest compatible versions in your pipelines without manual updates. With automatic versioning, you no longer need to manually track and increment version numbers when creating new versions of your recipes. You can simply place a single ‘x’ placeholder in any position of the version number, and Image Builder detects the latest existing version and automatically increments that position. For components, Image Builder automatically increments the build version when you create a component with the same name and semantic version. When referencing resources in your configurations, wildcard patterns automatically resolve to the highest available version matching the specified pattern, ensuring your pipelines always use the latest versions. Auto-versioning is available in all AWS regions including AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can get started from the EC2 Image Builder Console, CLI, API, CloudFormation, or CDK. Refer to documentation to learn more about recipes, components and semantic versioning.

AWS Payments Cryptography announces support for post-quantum cryptography to secure data in transit

Today, AWS Payments Cryptography announces support for hybrid post-quantum (PQ) TLS to secure API calls. With this launch, customers can future-proof transmissions of sensitive data and commands using ML-KEM post-quantum cryptography. Enterprises operating highly regulated workloads wish to reduce post-quantum risks from “harvest now, decrypt later”. Long-lived data-in-transit can be recorded today, then decrypted in the future when a sufficiently capable quantum computer becomes available. With today’s launch, AWS Payment Cryptography joins data protection services such as AWS Key Management Service (KMS) in addressing this concern by supporting PQ-TLS. To get started, simply ensure that your application depends on a version of AWS SDK or browser that supports PQ-TLS. For detailed guidance by language and platform, visit the PQ-TLS enablement documentation. Customers can also validate that ML-KEM was used to secure the TLS session for an API call by reviewing tlsDetails for the corresponding CloudTrail event in the console or a configured CloudTrail trail. These capabilities are generally available in all AWS Regions at no added cost. To get started with PQ-TLS and Payment Cyptography, see our post-quantum TLS guide.
