AWS IoT Core adds APIs for MQTT connection management

Today, AWS IoT Core launches two new MQTT connection management APIs, GetConnection and ListSubscriptions, enabling you to easily access MQTT client connection and subscription information for your Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These APIs help you troubleshoot connectivity issues, monitor client behavior, and audit connection patterns across your device fleet. The GetConnection API gives you visibility into an IoT device connection by retrieving detailed connection information, including connection status, MQTT session details, and optional socket-level data such as source and target IP addresses, ports, and client VPC endpoint ID, controlled via granular IAM policies. The ListSubscriptions API complements this by returning all topic subscriptions, including QoS levels for a client’s MQTT session, for connected and offline clients with persistent sessions. This enables you to validate and identify overlapping or unnecessary subscriptions that may impact solution performance. Together with the existing DeleteConnection API, these new APIs provide a comprehensive MQTT connection management experience.
These APIs are now available in all AWS regions where AWS IoT Core is supported. To learn more, visit the AWS IoT Core documentation and AWS IoT Core API reference guide.

Monitor AWS Budgets directly in Billing and Cost Management Dashboards with new Budgets widget

Today, AWS Billing and Cost Management (BCM) announces support for Budgets widgets in BCM Dashboards, giving you the flexibility to customize your cost management console with the views that matter most to your organization. You can now monitor AWS Budgets alongside Cost Explorer reports and Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage and utilization reports, all in a single, tailored dashboard.
Previously, reviewing budget performance required navigating to a separate console page. Now, finance teams and cloud administrators can add one or more Budgets widgets to any BCM Dashboard, displaying budget name, budgeted amount, actual spend, and forecasted amount. You can filter budgets by name, threshold, and budget type, directly within the widget, and choose which budgets appear on each dashboard, reducing the time spent switching between console pages and enabling faster budget monitoring across teams. Budget widgets are fully integrated with dashboard export capabilities, allowing you to include budget data in scheduled email reports or download it as CSV or PDF, making it easier to share budget status with stakeholders without manual data gathering. 
Budgets widgets for BCM Dashboards are available in all AWS commercial Regions at no additional charge. To learn more, visit our User Guide.

DynamoDB Streams now supports AWS PrivateLink for FIPS endpoints in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon DynamoDB Streams now supports AWS PrivateLink for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) endpoints in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. DynamoDB Streams captures time-ordered sequences of item-level modifications in DynamoDB tables, enabling real-time data processing and event-driven architectures. This enhancement allows government agencies and organizations with federal compliance requirements to establish private connectivity between their VPCs and DynamoDB Streams FIPS endpoints without exposing traffic to the public internet.
This capability helps customers meet strict federal compliance and regulatory requirements while simplifying their network architecture. By keeping all traffic within the AWS network infrastructure, organizations can securely process real-time data streams, implement compliant change data capture (CDC) solutions, and build event-driven architectures that adhere to federal security standards. Government agencies operating in GovCloud regions can now leverage DynamoDB Streams for secure data streaming applications while maintaining the enhanced security and privacy that AWS PrivateLink provides.
AWS PrivateLink support for DynamoDB Streams FIPS endpoints is available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions, as well as US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), and Canada West (Calgary).
 To learn more, visit the Amazon DynamoDB Streams PrivateLink documentation and the AWS PrivateLink page.

The next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is now generally available

Today, AWS announced the general availability of the next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, a fully managed search and vector engine designed for customers building agents. The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless auto scales 20x faster than its predecessor and provisions resources in seconds to meet the demands of even the most unpredictable agentic workflows. With scale-to-zero and pay-per-usage pricing, customers can now save up to 60% compared to the cost of provisioning Opensearch clusters for peak loads. The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless introduces complete decoupling of compute and storage through a new shared storage layer. This means customers can scale compute up and down independently, reducing costs during low-traffic periods while maintaining instant readiness for traffic spikes. To simplify network connectivity, OpenSearch Serverless now offers two resource-based endpoints – a collection level endpoint and a regional endpoint which makes multi-VPC and on-premise connectivity straightforward using standard VPC APIs. The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless also launches with native integrations with AI development platforms including Vercel and Kiro, enabling developers to provision search infrastructure directly from their development environment using natural language commands. OpenSearch Serverless is now also part of OpenSearch Agent Skills that allows you to bring OpenSearch capabilities to your agents when using popular coding platfroms like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. At GA, search and vector are the two available collection types. The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless is available today in all commercial AWS regions where Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is currently available. For pricing details about the next generation of OpenSearch Serverless, visit the pricing page. To learn more about the next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, see the marketing page, technical documentation and AWS News Blog. You can get started by visiting the technical launch blog that details all the new features launching in the next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless.

Claude Opus 4.8 is now available on AWS

AWS  now offers Claude Opus 4.8 — Anthropic’s most capable generally available model to date — delivering meaningful advances across agentic coding, professional knowledge work, and long-running autonomous tasks for developers and enterprises building production AI applications.
Claude Opus 4.8 can perform longer autonomous runs, deeper reasoning, and consistency to be trusted with production work. For coding, the Opus 4.8 reads codebases like an engineer, plans before it edits, and holds context across long sessions in real repositories. For agentic tasks, it is better at finding paths around obstacles instead of stalling, recovering from its own errors, and knowing when to ask for help versus when to keep going. For knowledge work, it better synthesizes across long documents and complex sources, self-checks its output, and delivers structured deliverables that hold up to review.
Customers have two ways to access Claude Opus 4.8: Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS.
Amazon Bedrock keeps your data within AWS infrastructure and provides access to Claude Opus 4.8 through a unified service with AWS-managed features like Guardrails, Knowledge Bases, and regional data residency. To learn more, see Amazon Bedrock documentation  and regional availability..
Claude Platform on AWS gives you direct access to Anthropic’s native platform experience and capabilities via the AWS Console. Build, test, and deploy with the same APIs, features, and console experience you’d get working with Anthropic directly, unified with AWS billing and authentication. To get started, see the Claude Platform on AWS documentation
