Amazon MSK announces support for Standard brokers Graviton-3 instance in Africa (Cape Town) region

You can now create provisioned Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) clusters with Standard brokers running on AWS Graviton3-based M7g instances in Africa (Cape Town) region.
Graviton M7g instances for Standard brokers deliver up to 24% compute cost savings and up to 29% higher write and read throughput over comparable MSK clusters running on M5 instances. To get started, create a new cluster with M7g brokers or upgrade your M5 cluster to M7g through the Amazon MSK console or the Amazon CLI and read our Amazon MSK Developer Guide for more information.

Accelerate serverless application development with new SAM Kiro power

AWS announces the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) Kiro power, bringing serverless application development expertise to agentic AI development in Kiro. With this power, you can build, deploy, and manage serverless applications with AI agent-assisted development directly in your local environment.
SAM is an open-source framework that simplifies building serverless applications on AWS. SAM Kiro power dynamically loads relevant guidance and development expertise the AI agent needs to build serverless applications. This includes initializing SAM projects, building and deploying applications to AWS, and locally testing Lambda functions. The power supports event-driven patterns with Amazon EventBridge, Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK), Amazon Kinesis, Amazon DynamoDB Streams, and Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), while covering security best practices for IAM policies. Built-in guidance enforces use of SAM resources and Powertools for AWS Lambda for observability and structured logging by default, ensuring best practices from the start. This guidance accelerates your journey from concept to production, whether building static websites with API backends, event-driven microservices, or full-stack applications.
The SAM Kiro Power is available today with one-click installation from the Kiro IDE and the Kiro Powers page. Explore the power on Github or visit the developer guide to learn more about SAM.

AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations with Amazon DynamoDB as the source support new configurations

AWS Glue zero-ETL now supports configurable change data capture (CDC) refresh intervals and on-demand data ingestion for integrations with Amazon DynamoDB as the source. This enhancement can help you to customize how frequently data changes are captured from your Amazon DynamoDB tables, with refresh intervals ranging from 15 minutes to 6 days, and trigger immediate data ingestion when needed. These capabilities bring zero-ETL integrations from Amazon DynamoDB sources to feature parity with zero-ETL integrations from SaaS sources, like Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow, ensuring consistent functionality across different source types. With configurable CDC refresh intervals, you can optimize your data pipeline performance by adjusting the frequency of change capture to match your specific business requirements—whether you need near real-time updates every 15 minutes or can work with longer intervals up to 6 days to reduce costs. The on-demand ingestion capability allows you to immediately capture critical data changes without waiting for the next scheduled CDC interval. This functionality is ideal for scenarios that require data to be immediately available for analytics, reporting, or downstream applications and helps strike a balance between data freshness requirements and operational efficiency. These features are available today in all AWS regions where AWS Glue zero-ETL is supported.
To get started with configuring CDC refresh intervals and on-demand ingestion for your Amazon DynamoDB integrations, see the AWS Glue User Guide. To learn more about AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations, visit the AWS Glue documentation.

AWS CDK Mixins is now generally available

AWS announces the general availability of CDK Mixins, a new feature of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) that lets you add composable, reusable abstractions to any AWS construct, whether L1, L2, or custom, without rebuilding your existing infrastructure code. CDK Mixins are available through the aws-cdk-lib package and work across all construct types, giving you flexibility to apply the right abstractions where and when you need them. Previously, teams had to choose between immediate access to new AWS features using L1 constructs or the convenience of higher-level abstractions with L2 constructs, often requiring significant rework to meet security, compliance, or operational requirements. CDK Mixins simplify the maintenance of custom construct libraries. CDK Mixins let you apply features like auto-delete, bucket encryption, versioning, and block public access directly to constructs using a simple .with() syntax, combine multiple Mixins into custom L2 constructs, and apply compliance policies across an entire scope. Developers can use Mixins.of() for advanced resource type or path-pattern filtering. Enterprise teams can now enforce reusable security and compliance policies across their infrastructure while maintaining day-one access to new AWS features. CDK Mixins are available in all AWS regions where AWS CloudFormation is supported.
To get started with CDK Mixins, visit the AWS documentation.

AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP now supports AWS PrivateLink

AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP now supports AWS PrivateLink, allowing your clients to request certificates from within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without traversing the public internet. With this launch, you can create VPC endpoints to connect to your SCEP connector privately, keeping all traffic within the AWS network. AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP is a managed connector that enables you to use the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) to issue certificates from AWS Private Certificate Authority (CA). SCEP is widely used for automated certificate enrollment and renewal for mobile devices, network equipment, and IoT devices. AWS PrivateLink support simplifies network connectivity by eliminating the need for internet gateways, NAT devices, or VPN connections to access your SCEP connector endpoints, while helping you meet compliance requirements that mandate private connectivity for certificate management. AWS PrivateLink support for AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP is available in all AWS Regions where the connector is available. For more information about Regional availability, see the AWS Region Table. To learn more and get started, visit the AWS Private CA Connector for SCEP documentation. For more information, please refer to the AWS PrivateLink documentation.
