Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now supports on-demand data replication across AWS opt-in Regions

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS now supports on-demand data replication across AWS opt-in Regions, enabling you to easily and efficiently transfer incremental point-in-time snapshots of your volumes beyond AWS Regions that are enabled by default. On-demand data replication provides a simple and resilient way to implement disaster recovery, replicate production data to a different Region or account, and enable lower latency data access for your global customer base or workforce.
Amazon FSx for OpenZFS provides fully managed, cost-effective, shared file storage powered by the popular OpenZFS file system, with rich data management capabilities like snapshots, data cloning, and compression, along with sub-millisecond latencies and up to 10 GB/s of throughput. Opt-in Regions are AWS Regions that are disabled by default, in contrast to regions that are enabled by default. Previously, on-demand data replication was supported only between accounts in AWS Regions that are enabled by default. Starting today, you can replicate snapshots to and from opt-in Regions, expanding the AWS Regions where you can build cross-Region disaster recovery and data distribution architectures.
On-demand data replication across opt-in Regions is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon FSx for OpenZFS is offered, including the supported opt-in Regions. There is no additional charge for on-demand data replication. Standard AWS data transfer charges apply when replicating across AWS Regions or accounts. To get started, visit the Amazon FSx console or refer to the on-demand replication documentation. To learn more, visit the Amazon FSx for OpenZFS product page.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory now supports strictly consistent metadata for long-term memory

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory extracts useful information from short-term memory and stores it as long-term memory records. Metadata on these records helps organize, filter, and route them for retrieval. Previously, metadata values could only be inferred by the LLM during extraction. Now, you can also attach metadata values directly from your application, ensuring they pass through extraction and consolidation exactly as supplied with no LLM inference. When you set a metadata key’s extraction type to STRICTLY_CONSISTENT, the value you provide on the short-term memory event is the value that lands on the resulting long-term memory record unchanged.
Strictly consistent metadata also isolates how events are grouped. Events sharing the same values are extracted together and consolidated together. Records with different values are never merged, even if semantically similar. This enables department-scoped retrieval, compliance boundaries between regulated and standard records, and multi-tenant memory where each tenant’s data is processed independently.
You can configure up to three strictly consistent keys per strategy. The feature is supported on semantic, user preference, and episodic strategies, including custom overrides. Keys must be of type STRING and declared in the memory’s indexed keys. Both LLM-inferred and strictly consistent keys can coexist on the same memory resource. To get started, see Long-term memory metadata. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory strictly consistent metadata is available in all AWS Regions where AgentCore Memory is supported.

Grok 4.3 from xAI now available in Amazon Bedrock

Today, AWS announces the availability of xAI’s Grok 4.3 model on Amazon Bedrock. With this launch, xAI joins Amazon Bedrock as a model provider, giving you even more choice as you build generative AI applications across reasoning, agentic, and enterprise workflows.
Grok 4.3 is a reasoning-first model that offers always-on and configurable reasoning effort (none, low, medium, high). Because reasoning is always active rather than optional, it behaves more consistently across multi-step agent loops than models that can skip thinking. It also offers strong tool use and instruction-following capabilities for building multi-step agents, and token efficiency to help keep high-volume inference cost-effective. Grok 4.3 is especially well suited to enterprise workloads such as contract review, case law research, credit agreement analysis, and financial document Q&A, while delivering consistent, high-quality results across conversational AI, search, chat, and multi-turn workflows. Grok 4.3 runs on Mantle, a new inference engine in Amazon Bedrock designed for price performance, with support for tool calling, structured output, and response streaming.
See region availability of Grok 4.3 for list of supported regions. To get started, visit the Grok 4.3 model detail page in our documentation.

AWS Management Console Private Access now works without internet connectivity

AWS Management Console Private Access now enables customers to access the AWS Console from VPCs without internet connectivity, allowing enterprises to manage their AWS infrastructure through the console while maintaining strict network security controls in air-gapped environments. Previously, AWS Management Console Private Access allowed customers to restrict console access to authorized AWS accounts and corporate networks but still required internet connectivity. With this launch, AWS Console traffic can flow through VPC endpoints for the supported service consoles, eliminating the need for any internet access. This capability is particularly valuable for customers in regulated industries such as financial services, government and defense, and healthcare, and for enterprises with strict security requirements who need to access sensitive data only from controlled environments and use the console in classified or networks without internet connectivity. AWS Management Console Private Access uses AWS PrivateLink to establish secure network paths between customer VPCs and the console. Customers can apply VPC endpoint policies to restrict access to specific AWS accounts and organizations, and use IAM, Service Control, and Resource Control policies to require that employees access resources only from authorized networks.
This capability is available in all AWS commercial regions. You pay only for the underlying AWS PrivateLink VPC endpoint usage and data processing. To get started and learn about the supported services, visit the Management Console Private Access documentation.

Docker joins the Athena coalition: a cross-industry collaboration for supply chain security

The obvious takeaway from 2026’s biggest incidents is that attackers are increasingly using AI to move fast. Docker’s CISO, Mark Lechner, wrote about this shift and what every engineering team should do now.

What worries us is that the bar is about to drop further. For most of the last decade, finding a serious vulnerability in widely used open source took time and specialized skill. Frontier models now read code, reason across dependencies, and surface novel, chained vulnerabilities at machine speed, including flaws that survived years of expert review. Anthropic’s Mythos, and the more powerful models that follow it will find more vulnerabilities, faster, and by a wider margin than skilled humans could. The gap between a vulnerability being discovered and exploited has shrunk from years to hours, and a growing share are weaponized before they are ever public.

We believe the durable response in this reality is twofold: build products that are secure and transparent by default, and collaborate deeply across the ecosystem to share signals and intelligence. No single vendor sees the whole picture, and customers are best protected when supply chain technologies work together rather than in isolation.

Secure-by-default tools for devs, as AI embeds into the SDLC

As coding agents take on more of the software lifecycle, secure defaults have to cover more than what you build with. They have to cover where agents run and what they can reach. Today, Docker’s investment spans three areas covering sandboxes for local developers, secure dependencies, and governed access to vetted MCP tools. These capabilities and our upcoming products in the near future collectively help secure the developer environment as AI embeds itself into the SDLC:

Isolated, sandboxed execution for agents: Docker Sandboxes run AI coding agents in isolated microVMs, each with its own kernel, filesystem, and deny-by-default network, so a compromised dependency an agent pulls cannot reach the host, its credentials, or other workloads.

Trusted, open source foundations: Docker Hardened Images Community is free and open source under Apache 2.0. DHI are minimal, low-CVE images rebuilt from source with SLSA Build Level 3 provenance and signed SBOMs, built on Alpine and Debian. The catalog now spans over 3,500 hardened images and tens of thousands of hardened system packages, extending across container images, system packages, Helm charts, and MCP servers. DHI makes secure dependencies the easy, default choice.

Governed access to tools: Docker MCP Catalog and Gateway give agents a trusted, hardened set of MCP servers, plus centralized policy, secret blocking, and audit logging, so the connections agents make are verified rather than assumed.

Together these tools give developers a secure default from the first docker build through to the agent running in their environment. 

Working with the ecosystem on behalf of every developer

The second part of our approach is how we work with the ecosystem. For example, with the axios compromise earlier this year and the TeamPCP campaign, Docker worked with partners including Socket, the Trivy team, Checkmarx, and others to analyze the attacks and contain the blast radius (recap). The damage potential with these attacks could have been very large, however sharing signals across company lines, in real time, is what kept the blast radius relatively small. We have said it before, this is a posture we believe the ecosystem needs more of.

Docker is joining the Athena alliance

Athena is the next step in our journey of collaboration. Announced today, it is an industry coalition for the coordinated defense of open source software in the era of AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery, and Docker is a founding participant. Athena brings together organizations from across the software ecosystem to share findings and coordinate responses before vulnerabilities become public. Docker sits at a distinctive point in the supply chain, with millions of developers relying on us to build, distribute, and run software built on open source, so helping make that ecosystem more resilient is consistent with our mission. We look forward to working with the coalition on key ways in which Docker is uniquely placed to provide expertise and scale to this important cross-industry effort.
