AWS expands Resource Control Policies support for Cognito and CloudWatch Logs

AWS Resource Control Policies (RCPs) now provide support for Amazon Cognito and Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Resource control policies (RCPs) are a type of organization policy that you can use to manage permissions in your organization. RCPs offer central control over the maximum available permissions for resources in your organization. With this expansion, you can now use RCPs to manage permissions for Amazon Cognito and Amazon CloudWatch Logs resources. For example, you can create policies that prevent identities outside your organization from accessing these resources, helping you build a data perimeter and enforce baseline security standards across your AWS environment. RCPs are available in all AWS commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more about RCPs and view the full list of supported AWS services, visit the Resource control policies (RCPs) documentation in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports custom browser extensions

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports custom Chrome browser extensions, enabling automation for complex workflows that standard browser automation cannot handle alone. This enhancement builds upon AgentCore’s existing secure browser features, allowing users to upload Chrome-compatible extensions to S3 and automatically install them during browser sessions. The feature serves enterprise developers, automation engineers, and organizations across industries requiring specialized browser functionality within a secure environment.
This new feature enables powerful use cases including custom authentication flows, automated testing, and improved web navigation with performance optimization through ad blocking. Organizations gain the ability to integrate third-party tools that operate as browser extensions, eliminating manual processes while maintaining security within the AgentCore Browser environment. This feature is available in all nine AWS Regions where Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser is available: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (Ireland). To learn more about implementing custom browser extensions in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, visit the Browser documentation.

Amazon Bedrock Reserved Tier available now for Claude Sonnet 4.5 in AWS GovCloud (US-West)

Today, Amazon Bedrock introduces the expansion of the Reserved service tier designed for workloads requiring predictable performance and guaranteed tokens-per-minute capacity. The Reserved tier provides the ability to reserve prioritized compute capacity, keeping service levels predictable for your mission critical applications. It also includes the flexibility to allocate different input and output tokens-per-minute capacities to match the exact requirements of your workload and control cost. This is particularly valuable because many workloads have asymmetric token usage patterns. For instance, summarization tasks consume many input tokens but generate fewer output tokens, while content generation applications require less input and more output capacity. When your application needs more tokens-per-minute capacity than what you reserved , the service automatically overflows to the pay-as-you-go Standard tier, ensuring uninterrupted operations. The Reserved tier is available today for Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5 in AWS GovCloud (US-West). Customers can reserve capacity for 1 month or 3 month duration. Customers pay a fixed price per 1K tokens-per-minute and are billed monthly. Amazon Bedrock Reserved Tier is available for customers in AWS GovCloud (US-West) via GOV-CRIS cross-region profile. With the expansion of the Reserved service tier, Amazon Bedrock continues to provide more choice to customers, helping them develop, scale, and deploy applications and agents that improve productivity and customer experiences while balancing performance and cost requirements. For more information about the AWS Regions where Amazon Bedrock Reserved tier is available, refer to the Documentation. To get access to the Reserved tier, please contact your AWS account team.
