AWS announces a new Availability Zone in the Europe (London) Region

AWS has added a fourth Availability Zone to the Europe (London) Region (eu-west-2), expanding infrastructure capacity to meet growing demand for cloud compute in the Region. The new Availability Zone delivers next-generation AI and ML capacity, including Amazon EC2, Trn3, and P6 accelerated instances, alongside general-purpose compute. The new Availability Zone gives AWS customers in eu-west-2 greater capacity for AI and ML workloads and additional fault isolation for building highly available, resilient architectures.
With this new Availability Zone (eu-west-2d), customers can distribute applications across four Availability Zones in eu-west-2, improving fault tolerance and supporting high availability architectures. AI and ML teams can now run model training and inference workloads on the latest accelerated instance types entirely within the London Region. The new Availability Zone is accessible through the AWS Management Console, APIs, and existing workflows with no changes to tooling. Standard Europe (London) Region pricing applies.
To get started, visit AWS Global Infrastructure to learn more about Regions, Availability Zones, and how efficient data center designs and sustainability practices power AWS cloud infrastructure. Explore the AWS Builder Center for hands-on resources, the EC2 Trainium page for AI and ML workloads, and Regional Product Services for a full list of services available by Region.

Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion is now available in GovCloud Regions

Starting today, customers can use Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West), for ingesting data into their Amazon OpenSearch Service managed clusters or serverless collections. Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion is a fully managed data ingestion tier that allows you to ingest and process data before indexing it in Amazon OpenSearch managed clusters or serverless collections. Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion provides a no-code experience to filter, transform, redact, and route data into Amazon OpenSearch Service.

AWS Cost Anomaly Detection supports third-party models on Amazon Bedrock

AWS Cost Anomaly Detection now monitors spend on third-party foundation models running on Amazon Bedrock, such as Anthropic Claude and other provider-hosted models. Cost Anomaly Detection uses machine learning to detect and alert on unusual spend, and this launch extends that coverage to third-party model usage on Amazon Bedrock. Teams running production generative AI workloads now get automatic anomaly detection on their Amazon Bedrock model spend alongside the rest of their AWS costs.
With this launch, Cost Anomaly Detection automatically evaluates your third-party Amazon Bedrock model costs through your AWS managed service monitor, with no setup required. When spend on a model changes unexpectedly, you receive an alert and a root-cause breakdown ranked by dollar impact across AWS service, account, Region, and usage type, so you can understand and act on generative AI cost changes as quickly as you do for any other AWS spend.
This feature is available in all AWS commercial regions, except the AWS GovCloud and the China Regions.
To learn more, see Detecting unusual spend with AWS Cost Anomaly Detection in the AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

AWS IAM identity federation to external services is now available in AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) now enables AWS workloads in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region to securely authenticate with external services using short-lived JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is an independent cloud for Europe entirely located within the European Union (EU), designed to help customers meet their evolving sovereignty requirements.
With outbound identity federation, AWS workloads can securely authenticate with third-party cloud providers, SaaS providers, and self-hosted applications without using long-term credentials or implementing complex workarounds. Customers can exchange their AWS IAM credentials for cryptographically signed, short-lived JWTs, providing a simple and secure mechanism to access external services. These tokens contain rich context about the AWS workloads, enabling external services to implement fine-grained access control. Administrators can control access to token generation and enforce token properties (such as lifetime, audience, and signing algorithms) using IAM policies and audit token usage using CloudTrail logs, allowing them to meet their organization’s security and compliance requirements.
To learn more, visit the outbound identity federation product page, see the IAM user guide, or read the AWS News Blog Post.
