AWS Site-to-Site VPN announces 5 Gbps bandwidth tunnels

AWS Site-to-Site VPN now supports VPN connections with up to 5 Gbps bandwidth per tunnel, a 4x improvement from existing limit of 1.25 Gbps. This increased bandwidth benefits customers who require high-capacity connections for bandwidth-intensive hybrid applications, big data migrations, and disaster recovery architectures while maintaining traffic encryption between AWS and their remote sites. Customers can also use 5 Gbps VPN connections as a backup or overlay for their high capacity AWS Direct Connect connections. AWS Site-to-Site VPN is a fully managed service that allows you to create a secure connection between your data center or branch office and your AWS resources using IP Security (IPSec) tunnels. Until now, Site-to-Site VPN supported a maximum of 1.25Gbps bandwidth per tunnel and customers had to rely on ECMP (Equal cost multi path) to logically bond multiple tunnels to achieve higher bandwidth. With this launch, customers can now configure their tunnel bandwidth to 5 Gbps, reducing the need to deploy complex protocols such as ECMP while ensuring consistent bandwidth performance. This capability is available in all AWS commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where AWS Site-to-Site VPN is available, except Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Israel (Tel Aviv), Europe (Zurich), Canada West (Calgary), and Middle East (UAE) Regions. To learn more and get started, visit the AWS Site-to-Site VPN documentation.

Amazon Connect Cases adds conditional field visibility and dependent options

Amazon Connect Cases now supports conditional field visibility and dependent field options, so you can simplify case layouts and ensure agents capture the right information faster. For example, you can show a Return Reason field only when the case involves a return, and limit Issue Type choices to hardware-related options when Issue Category is set to Hardware. Amazon Connect Cases is available in the following AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Africa (Cape Town) AWS regions. To learn more and get started, visit the Amazon Connect Cases webpage and documentation.

Amazon ElastiCache supports M7g and R7g Graviton3-based nodes in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton3-based M7g and R7g node families in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions (US-East, US-West). ElastiCache Graviton3 nodes deliver improved price-performance compared to Graviton2. As an example, when running ElastiCache for Redis OSS on an R7g.4xlarge node, you can achieve up to 28% increased throughput (read and write operations per second) and up to 21% improved P99 latency, compared to running on R6g.4xlarge. In addition, these nodes deliver up to 25% higher networking bandwidth. For complete information on pricing and regional availability, please refer to the Amazon ElastiCache pricing page. To get started, create a new cluster or upgrade to Graviton3 using the AWS Management Console. For more information on supported node types, please refer to the documentation.

Application loadbalancer support client credential flow with JWT verification

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces JWT Verification for Application Load Balancer (ALB), enabling secure machine-to-machine (M2M) and service-to-service (S2S) communications. This feature allows ALB to verify JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) included in request headers, validating token signatures, expiration times, and claims without requiring modifications to application code. By offloading OAuth 2.0 token validation to ALB, customers can significantly reduce architectural complexity and streamline their security implementation. This capability is particularly valuable for microservices architectures, API security, and enterprise service integration scenarios where secure service-to-service communication is critical. The feature supports tokens issued through various OAuth 2.0 flows, including Client Credentials Flow, enabling centralized token validation with minimal operational overhead. The JWT Verification feature is now available in all AWS Regions where Application Load Balancer is supported.
