Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports April 2026 Release Update and Supplemental Patch Bundle

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports the Oracle April 2026 Release Update (RU) for Oracle Database versions 19c and 21c, and the corresponding Supplemental Patch Bundle for Oracle Database version 19c. We recommend upgrading to the April 2026 RU as it includes security updates for Oracle database products. Starting with April 2026 releases, the Oracle Spatial Patch Bundle has been renamed to Supplemental Patch Bundle (SPB). The SPB includes additional database patches recommended by Oracle for specific use cases, such as Oracle Spatial, Oracle Data Pump, and Oracle GoldenGate. You can apply the April 2026 RU from the Amazon RDS Management Console, or by using the AWS SDK or CLI. To automatically apply updates to your database instance during your maintenance window, enable Automatic Minor Version Upgrade. You can apply the Supplemental Patch Bundle update for new database instances, or upgrade existing instances to engine version ‘19.0.0.0.ru-2026-04.spb-1.r1′ by selecting the “Supplemental Patch Bundle Engine Versions” checkbox in the AWS Console. You can also use AWS Organizations upgrade rollout policy to stagger automatic minor version upgrades for your Amazon RDS database instances. This feature allows you to automatically apply updates to non-production environments, validate the updates, and then automatically apply the same update to production environments. For additional details about using AWS Organizations upgrade rollout policy for automatic minor version upgrades, refer to Amazon RDS for Oracle documentation .

AWS Shield Advanced introduces DDoS attack flow logs

AWS Shield Advanced announces distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack flow logs, giving you packet-level visibility into traffic hitting Shield Advanced protected resources during a DDoS attack. The log data is published to Amazon S3, Amazon CloudWatch Logs, or Amazon Data Firehose, for forensic analysis and compliance purposes.
The DDoS attack flow logs, capture critical packet-level details, including source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, packet and byte counts, source country information, and others. The log data is automatically published to your chosen destination at 5-minute intervals during active attacks. Once published, you can retrieve and analyze your flow log data using your preferred analytics tools, enabling post-incident investigation, threat intelligence gathering, and compliance reporting. To enable flow logs, you must protect the resources with Shield Advanced, and configure log delivery based on your destination.
The feature is avaialble in all regions where AWS Shield Advanced is available. To learn more about configuring and using DDoS attack flow logs, visit the AWS Shield Advanced documentation.

AWS announces general availability of the next generation of AWS Resilience Hub

Today, AWS announces the general availability of the next generation of AWS Resilience Hub, a central location in the AWS console that helps platform engineering and site reliability teams assess and strengthen the resilience of their critical workloads running on AWS. This new update expands on AWS Resilience Hub’s existing experience for meeting resilience objectives by introducing a new application model, dependency discovery, generative AI-powered failure mode analysis, modular resilience policies, and organization-wide reporting.
With the next generation of Resilience Hub, teams model applications using a three-level hierarchy — systems, user journeys, and services — that reflects how these applications deliver business value. Through dependency discovery assessments, maintain up-to-date visibility into the AWS services, internal endpoints, and third-party endpoints that your services rely on. A generative AI-powered failure mode assessment analyzes your services against AWS Well-Architected best practices, the AWS Resilience Analysis Framework, and the organization’s resilience policies, generating prioritized, actionable recommendations. AWS Organizations integration enables central teams to define resilience policies and monitor posture across all accounts and regions from a single dashboard.
The next generation of the AWS Resilience Hub is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), and South America (São Paulo).
To get started, visit the AWS console. To learn more about the next generation of AWS Resilience Hub, see the product page, or visit the AWS News Blog. 
Existing AWS Resilience Hub customers can continue using their current experience and adopt the next generation of AWS Resilience Hub at their own pace. For guidance, see the migration user guide.
