Amazon Time Sync Service adds support for Microsecond accurate time on 26 additional EC2 instance types in all commercial regions

Amazon Time Sync Service introduces support for microsecond accurate time on 26 additional EC2 instance types in all commercial regions. Built on Amazon’s proven network infrastructure and the AWS Nitro System, microsecond accurate time and nanosecond precision hardware timestamps leverage the reference clocks running in the Nitro System directly, enabling customers to easily order application events, measure 1-way network latency, and increase distributed application transaction speed.    Starting today, customers can access microsecond accurate time on these additional instance types by creating a Precision Time Placement Group (PTPG), a new placement strategy that allows customers to launch instances with Precision Time Protocol hardware clock (PHC) enabled. Customers that require both low network latency as well as precision time can associate a PTPG with their Cluster Placement Group (CPG), so that their low-latency workloads also benefit from microsecond accurate time.    For more information, refer to the Amazon Time Sync Service documentation.

AWS End User Messaging RCS now supports rich media and interactive messaging

AWS End User Messaging now supports rich media and interactive messaging for RCS across all 22 supported countries. With the new SendRcsMessage API, you can send rich cards, carousels, images, videos, and interactive suggestion buttons that let recipients take action directly inside their messaging app.
RCS message recipients can tap to confirm an appointment, browse a product catalog, complete a payment in a webview, share their location, or interact with an AI agent, all without leaving their phone’s messaging app. Behind each of these interactions is the same AWS infrastructure you already use to build applications. RCS becomes the interface layer that connects your backend services, your data, and your AI directly to your end users through your conversation with them.
With this release AWS now supports four RCS message types (text, files, rich cards, and carousels). These message types can be used with any combination of six actions (replies, URLs, webviews, phone calls, maps, and calendar events) to bring web and mobile app experiences directly into conversations.. Each message supports configurable SMS or MMS fallback for recipients without RCS.
AWS End User Messaging also introduces RCS Conversation pricing for 21 countries consisting of one flat rate for unlimited messages within a 24-hour session, so you can build back-and-forth workflows without per-message cost pressure.
RCS messaging is available in all AWS Regions where AWS End User Messaging is available. To learn more, see sending rich RCS messages in the AWS End User Messaging User Guide.

Amazon MWAA Serverless now supports shared VPC configurations

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) Serverless now supports shared VPC subnets. Previously, customers using subnets shared via AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) received a validation error when creating MWAA Serverless workflows. With this update, MWAA Serverless correctly validates subnet ownership in shared VPC configurations, consistent with MWAA Provisioned environments. Sharing VPC subnets across accounts using AWS RAM is a common pattern in multi-account landing zone architectures. Organizations that centrally manage networking can now launch MWAA Serverless workflows in member accounts using shared subnets — no workarounds required. Customers using Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio Workflows also benefit from this update when their projects are configured with shared VPC networking. This update is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon MWAA Serverless is supported. To learn more, see the Networking section of the Amazon MWAA Serverless User Guide.

AWS WAF adds support for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway

Today, AWS announces general availability of AWS Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF) protection for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway, enabling you to protect your agentic AI workloads from common web exploits and abuse. As enterprises move agentic applications from prototype to production, this launch gives security and platform teams ability to apply consistent, customizable web protections at the Gateway layer.
You can now associate an AWS WAF protection pack with your AgentCore Gateway to enforce IP-based access controls, rate-based rules that throttle abusive traffic, and AWS Managed Rule Groups including common rule sets, known bad inputs, and Bot Control. You configure the protection pack once at the Gateway level and AWS WAF applies it consistently to every target behind that Gateway, so a single configuration protects all downstream tools, agents, and integrations.
Support for AWS WAF on AgentCore Gateway is available in all AWS Regions where both AWS WAF and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway are available.
To learn more, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide and the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore documentation.

AWS Network Firewall now supports managed threat intelligence rules from VisionHeight

AWS Network Firewall now supports two new managed rule groups from VisionHeight, available through AWS Marketplace: Zero-Day Threat Protection, and Noisy Scanners and Tor Protection. These rule groups expand the managed rules offerings for AWS Network Firewall, giving customers access to proprietary threat intelligence built on VisionHeight’s Pulse telemetry. Zero-Day Threat Protection proactively blocks malicious IP infrastructure before it appears on public blocklists. This rule group helps organizations get ahead of emerging threats by weeks, strengthening defense for workloads facing targeted attacks. Tor Protection reduces firewall log noise by blocking communication with active Tor exit nodes and filtering traffic from known high-volume scanning sources. With daily refresh cycles, this rule group suppresses noise at first packet —before events are generated—lowering SOC alert volume, reducing SIEM ingestion costs, and removing Tor as a path into or out of your environment. Managed rules for AWS Network Firewall are available from AWS Marketplace sellers including Check Point, Fortinet, Infoblox, Lumen, Rapid7, ThreatSTOP, Trend Micro, and VisionHeight. For a full list of supported regions, visit the AWS Regional Services page. To get started, visit the AWS Network Firewall console or browse available managed rules in AWS Marketplace. For more information, see the AWS Network Firewall product page and the service documentation.
