Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink now offers AI Agent Skills to simplify building and operating Flink applications

Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink now offers AI Agent Skills that give AI coding assistants expert, up-to-date guidance for building and operating Flink applications. The skills provide expert guidance for common tasks such as creating applications, troubleshooting, scaling, monitoring, networking configuration, and cost optimization.
Customers can leverage these skills to keep Flink applications healthy and performant, accelerate development of new streaming applications, and easily upgrade to latest versions of Apache Flink like Flink 2.2. The skills turn tasks that once required specialized Apache Flink knowledge into a guided experience developers can complete on their own.
You can use the Managed Service for Apache Flink skills with your existing AI coding agent, including Kiro, Claude Code, or Cursor. To get started, configure the Agent Toolkit for AWS using the AWS CLI, then ask your coding agent a question, such as “How do I create a new Flink application on MSF?” or “My Flink application is unhealthy — what’s wrong?”

AWS IAM Identity Center achieves FedRAMP Class C Certification

AWS IAM Identity Center is now in scope for FedRAMP Class C in the US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), and US West (Oregon) Regions. You can now use IAM Identity Center to enable workforce access to AWS accounts and applications that are subject to FedRAMP Class C compliance.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a US government-wide program that delivers a standard approach to the security assessment, certification, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. AWS IAM Identity Center is the recommended service for managing your workforce access to AWS accounts and applications.
To learn more about FedRAMP, visit the AWS services compliance page and AWS compliance resources page. To learn more about IAM Identity Center, visit the User Guide.

AWS Lambda console provides a one-click setup prompt for coding agents

AWS Lambda console now provides a one-click setup prompt for coding agents that configures your agent with AWS Serverless skills and the Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, embedding serverless best practices from the start. This setup is available on the Lambda console wherever the developers start their Lambda journey: whether they are getting started with Lambda, exploring its capabilities, or have created their first function.
Developers use coding agents to build, test, and deploy Lambda functions, but setting up an agent for serverless development previously required navigating across multiple documentation pages to find the right configuration. The one-click setup prompt eliminates this friction as it provides a prompt that instructs the agent to install AWS Serverless skills (hosted in Agent Toolkit for AWS) and the Serverless MCP server directly in the developer’s preferred coding agent. The prompt references the Lambda agent setup guide, which includes installation commands for Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Devin Desktop, and OpenCode, for the AWS Serverless skills, three specialized Lambda skills (MicroVM, Managed Instances, durable functions), and Serverless MCP server configuration. If a developer does not have local AWS authentication configured, the prompt guides them to connect using the signing-in-to-aws skill.
This capability is available in all commercial AWS Regions (except Middle East (Bahrain) and Middle East (UAE)) and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Lambda is available. Get started by visiting the AWS Lambda console or learn more in the Lambda agent setup guide.

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now supports Amazon EBS volume initialization rate

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) now supports the Amazon EBS volume initialization rate, helping recovered volumes reach full performance faster during drills and recoveries. When DRS restores EBS volumes from snapshots, the data loads from Amazon S3 in the background, and I/O to blocks that haven’t loaded yet can be slower until initialization finishes. With this launch, you can set a volume initialization rate on your DRS-managed EC2 launch template, and DRS applies it automatically when it creates volumes during recovery — bringing your applications to full storage performance on a predictable timeline.
This is especially valuable for I/O-intensive workloads such as databases, where fast, consistent storage performance is critical to meeting your recovery time objectives. You set the rate once on the launch template, and DRS preserves it across the updates it makes for rightsizing or disk changes. If the rate cannot be applied for a given recovery, DRS completes recovery without it, so your recovery is never blocked.
AWS DRS support for the EBS volume initialization rate is available in all AWS Regions and environments where the EBS volume initialization rate is offered. You are charged per GB based on the full snapshot size and the rate you specify; for details, see Amazon EBS pricing. To learn more, see the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery User Guide.
