Amazon Bedrock now supports 1-hour duration for prompt caching

Amazon Bedrock now supports a 1-hour time-to-live (TTL) option for prompt caching for select Anthropic Claude models. With this update, you can extend the persistence of cached prompt prefixes from the default 5 minutes to 1 hour, improving cost efficiency and performance for long-running agentic workflows and multi-turn conversations. Previously, cached content remained active for a fixed 5-minute window and refreshed when reused. With the new 1-hour TTL option, you can maintain context for users who interact less frequently, or for complex agents that require more time between steps—such as tool use, retrieval, and orchestration. The 1-hour TTL is also useful for longer sessions and batch processing where you want cached content to persist across extended periods. 1-hour TTL prompt caching is generally available for Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Haiku 4.5, and Claude Opus 4.5 in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where these models are available. The 1-hour cache is billed at a different rate than the standard 5-minute cache. To learn more, refer to the Amazon Bedrock documentation and Amazon Bedrock Pricing page.

Amazon WorkSpaces Core announces monthly pricing for managed instances

AWS is announcing flexible billing for Amazon WorkSpaces Core managed instances, adding monthly flat-rate pricing alongside existing hourly billing. Customers can now choose the optimal pricing model based on their end user usage patterns. Monthly billing is ideal for predictable full-time desktops and hourly billing is ideal for variable usage patterns. Both options are pay-as-you-go with no long-term commitments. Amazon WorkSpaces Core managed instances simplifies virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) migrations with highly customizable instance configurations. WorkSpaces Core managed instances provisions resources in your AWS account, handling infrastructure lifecycle management for both persistent and non-persistent workloads. Monthly pricing delivers savings vs hourly billing at always-on utilization, optimized for real-world VDI use cases. With flexible billing, customers benefit from predictable costs for persistent desktop workloads and the flexibility to mix hourly and monthly billing within the same deployment. VDI partners utilizing WorkSpaces Core managed instances including Citrix, Workspot, Dizzion, and Leostream can now integrate with new WorkSpaces API billing features to enable the monthly billing option when instances are created. Hourly billing remains the default billing option for managed instances. In addition, starting today, hourly utility rates for WorkSpaces Core managed instances will now be combined and billed by Amazon WorkSpaces to simplify pricing. Previously, hourly rates were split between Amazon EC2 and Amazon WorkSpaces on customer bills. There is no change to the effective rates for on-demand hourly usage of WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances with this announcement.

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports replicas in Oracle multi-tenant configuration

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports database replicas for instances set up in Oracle multi-tenant configuration. Oracle multi-tenant configuration allows customers to host multiple, isolated pluggable databases in a single container database, which allows for cost reduction through consolidation and easier management. With support for replicas in Oracle multi-tenant configuration, customers can now distribute read workloads to a replica to scale workloads, or setup cross-Region replicas. In disaster recovery situations, customers can promote replicas to serve as a new standalone database, or execute a switchover to reverse roles between the primary database and the replica for a quick recovery.
To set up replicas in Oracle multi-tenant configuration, customers can create a replica in either mounted or read-only mode using the AWS management console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. Once a replica is set up, Amazon RDS for Oracle manages asynchronous physical replication between primary and replica database instances using Oracle Data Guard.
Amazon RDS for Oracle read replicas use Oracle Data Guard. Using mounted mode replicas require an Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE) license, and using read-only mode replicas require additional Oracle Active Data Guard licenses. We recommend customers to consult their Oracle licensing expert to determine Oracle licensing requirements. Refer to RDS for Oracle User Guide for more information, and Amazon RDS for Oracle pricing for available instance configurations, pricing, and region availability.
