Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports WebAuthn redirection for local Chromium browsers

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports Web Authentication (WebAuthn) redirection, allowing users to authenticate to websites using their local FIDO2 security keys, biometric authenticators, and platform authenticators while browsing in their WorkSpaces Secure Browser session. This feature is compatible with Chromium-based browser on users’ local devices, such as Google Chrome 136 (or later) or Microsoft Edge 137 (or later). It is not supported on non-Chromium-based browsers such as Safari or Firefox. WebAuthn redirection helps users enjoy seamless and secure authentication on websites within their WorkSpaces Secure Browser sessions. This feature supports FIDO2 security keys, passkeys, and platform authenticators like Windows Hello or Touch ID. To enable the feature, administrators must activate WebAuthn redirection in Secure browser’s portal settings and configure the local browsers using the WebAuthenticationRemoteDesktopAllowedOrigins policy. This configuration allows WebAuthn tokens to be securely transmitted from a user’s local device to websites within a Secure Browser session, ensuring that users can authenticate securely without compromising the security benefits of the remote browsing environment. This feature is available at no additional cost in all regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser is available, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore) To get started and enable WebAuthn redirection, visit the Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser console. For more information, see the WebAuthn redirection section in the Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser’s documentation.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano now available on Amazon Bedrock

Amazon Bedrock now supports NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B model, NVIDIA’s latest breakthrough in efficient language modeling that delivers high reasoning performance, native tool calling support, and extended context processing with 256k token context window. This model employs an efficient hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture to ensure higher throughput than its predecessors for agentic and coding workloads, while maintaining the reasoning depth of a larger model. With explicit reasoning controls and higher accuracy enabled by advanced reinforcement learning techniques and multi-environment post-training at scale, this model is ideal for enterprises, startups, and individual developers building multi-agent workflows, developer productivity tools, processes automation, and for scientific and mathematical reasoning analysis, amongst others. NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano on Amazon Bedrock is powered by Project Mantle, a new distributed inference engine for large-scale machine learning model serving on Amazon Bedrock. Project Mantle simplifies and expedites onboarding of new models onto Amazon Bedrock, provides highly performant and reliable serverless inference with sophisticated quality of service controls, unlocks higher default customer quotas with automated capacity management and unified pools, and provides out-of-the-box compatibility with OpenAI API specifications.
NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano is available today on Amazon Bedrock in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), South America (Sao Paulo), Europe (London), and Europe (Milan) AWS Regions, and supports both unified and OpenAI API-compatible service endpoints on Amazon Bedrock.

Amazon GameLift Streams launches Gen6-based stream classes and enhanced autoscaling for better performance and pricing

Today, Amazon GameLift Streams launched two new capabilities to optimize performance and cost: Gen6 stream classes and enhanced autoscaling with warm buffer. The new Gen6 stream classes provide a wider range of price performance options, while autoscaling enables customers to dynamically manage capacity scaling.  The seven new Gen6 stream classes available today are based on EC2 G6 instances powered by NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs, which provide up to 2x higher performance over Gen4 stream classes. The pro and ultra stream class deliver improved performance for graphics-intensive AAA games, while the medium and small stream class offer cost-efficient options for casual games. The gen6n_small stream class is available at $0.16/hour in us-east-2.  The enhanced autoscaling capabilities provide automatic capacity management that scales provisioned capacity dynamically with demand, helping customers optimize utilization and stream start time for new players. Developers can use the new capacity controls (minimum, maximum, and target-idle capacity) to precisely manage their scaling needs.  New Gen6 stream classes are available in five AWS Regions: US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), Europe (Frankfurt), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). Improved autoscaling is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon GameLift Streams is offered. To learn more and get started, visit: AWS Docs: Gen6n based stream classes; Enhanced Autoscaling – Capacity configuration options; API Reference Guide: Create Stream group with gen6n based stream class; Capacity configuration option for stream groups
