Announcing cost allocation using users’ attributes

AWS announces a new cost allocation feature that uses existing workforce user attributes like cost center, division, organization, and department to track and analyze AWS application usage and cost. This new capability enables customers to allocate per-user monthly subscription and on-demand fees of AWS applications, such as Amazon Q Business, Amazon Q Developer, and Amazon QuickSight, to respective internal business units. Customers should import their workforce users’ attributes to IAM Identity Center, the recommended service for managing workforce access to AWS applications. After importing the attributes, customers can enable one or more of these attributes as cost allocation tags from the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. When users access AWS applications, their usage and cost are automatically recorded with selected attributes. Cloud Financial Operations (FinOps) professionals can view and analyze costs in AWS Cost Explorer and AWS CUR 2.0, gaining visibility into how different teams drive AWS usage and costs. Support for cost allocation using user attributes is generally available in all AWS Regions, excluding GovCloud (US) Regions and China (Beijing) and China (Ningxia) Regions. To learn more, see organizing and tracking cost using AWS cost allocation tags.

MSK Replicator provides automatic asynchronous replication across MSK clusters, eliminating the need to write custom code, manage infrastructure, or setup cross-region networking. MSK Replicator automatically scales the underlying resources so that you can replicate data on-demand without having to monitor or scale capacity. MSK Replicator also replicates the necessary Kafka metadata including topic configurations, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and consumer group offsets. If an unexpected event occurs in a region, you can failover to the other AWS Region and seamlessly resume processing. You can get started with MSK Replicator from the Amazon MSK console or the Amazon CLI. With this launch, MSK Replicator is now available in thirty five AWS Regions. To learn more, visit the MSK Replicator documentation, product page, and pricing page.

ACM now supports automated certificate management for Kubernetes

AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) now automates certificate provisioning and distribution for Kubernetes workloads through AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK). Previously, ACM automated certificate management for AWS-integrated services like Application Load Balancers and CloudFront. However, using ACM certificates with applications terminating TLS in Kubernetes required manual steps: exporting certificates and private keys via API, creating Kubernetes Secrets, and updating them at renewal. This integration extends ACM’s automation to any Kubernetes workload for both public and private certificates, enabling you to manage certificates using native Kubernetes APIs. With ACK, you define certificates as Kubernetes resources, and the ACK controller automates the complete certificate lifecycle: requesting certificates from ACM, exporting them after validation, updating Kubernetes Secrets with the certificate and private key, and automatically updating those Secrets at renewal. This enables you to use ACM exportable public certificates (launched in June 2025) for internet-facing workloads or AWS Private CA private certificates for internal services in Amazon EKS or other Kubernetes environments. Use cases include terminating TLS in application pods (NGINX, custom applications), securing service mesh communication (Istio, Linkerd), and managing certificates for third-party ingress controllers (NGINX Ingress, Traefik). You can also distribute certificates to hybrid and edge Kubernetes environments. This feature is available in all commercial, AWS GovCloud (US), and AWS China regions where ACM is available. To learn more, visit the Git hub link or read our documentation and our pricing page.
