AWS IoT Device SDK for Swift is now generally available

The AWS IoT Device SDK for Swift is now generally available, enabling Swift developers to build secure, scalable IoT applications natively on Apple platforms including macOS, iOS, and tvOS, as well as Linux. This SDK addresses the previous lack of native Swift support for AWS IoT services, providing stable, production-ready APIs specifically designed for teams managing IoT device fleets and building cross-platform IoT solutions across the Apple ecosystem.
The SDK delivers comprehensive capabilities for real-time device management and secure communication. With integrated service clients for AWS IoT Device Shadow, Jobs, and Fleet Provisioning, developers can synchronize device states between applications and AWS IoT Core, manage remote operations on connected devices at scale, and automate certificate and policy creation for secure device onboarding. The SDK also provides built-in TLS 1.3 support on Apple iOS and tvOS platforms, ensuring IoT applications use the latest industry-standard security practices for protecting data in transit.
To learn more, visit the  AWS IoT Device SDK documentation  and explore  code samples on GitHub . Get started by installing the SDK via Swift Package Manager.

Amazon EC2 announces AMI Watermarks for improved AMI governance

Amazon EC2 introduces AMI watermarks, letting you embed custom identifiers in your private AMIs. Once applied, a watermark automatically carries forward to every AMI derived from the original, whether you copy it across regions or create a new AMI from a running instance. Watermarks also remain visible when you share an AMI with other accounts. This helps you identify trusted AMIs, track provenance, and enforce governance policies across your organization. Each watermark includes metadata such as the AMI ID, owner ID, region, and creation timestamps, providing reliable provenance that persists regardless of how many times an AMI is copied or new AMIs are created from it. AMI Watermarks improve AMI tracking by enabling you to filter and find related AMIs across your accounts. For governance, you can combine watermarks with Allowed AMIs to restrict instance launches to only AMIs carrying approved watermarks and enforce the setting at scale across your organization through Declarative Policies. You can start adding AMI watermarks to your private AMIs by using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDKs. To learn more, please visit the documentation. You can also attach watermarks through EC2 Image Builder, a service used to create and manage AMIs, as part of your AMI build pipeline. AMI watermarks are available to all customers at no additional cost in all AWS regions including AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
