Amazon Aurora MySQL 8.4 is now generally available

Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition now supports MySQL 8.4, a community MySQL Long Term Support (LTS) major version. Aurora MySQL 8.4 launches with compatibility for community MySQL 8.4.7 and introduces aligned version numbering, so the version number you run on Aurora matches the community MySQL version it is compatible with. Aurora also manages the underlying patch on your behalf, simplifying day-to-day operations. Aurora MySQL now targets major versions within 12 months of community MySQL LTS releases, minor versions within 3 months of each community minor, and an Aurora LTS minor within 12 months of each major. For engine specific release objectives, see the Aurora and RDS open source release calendar announcement. Aurora MySQL 8.4 strengthens security defaults for new clusters. TLS is enforced by default with only TLS 1.2 and 1.3 supported, new accounts use the caching_sha2_password authentication plugin, and password validation policies are customizable through DB cluster parameter groups. Automated upgrade prechecks identify compatibility issues before your cluster goes offline, giving you confidence before you upgrade. To learn more about the Aurora MySQL 8.4 customer experience, refer to the Aurora MySQL 8.4 launch announcement blog. You can upgrade your database using Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments, in-place upgrade, or restore from a snapshot. Learn more about performing major version upgrades in the Amazon Aurora User Guide. You can also migrate to Aurora MySQL 8.4 from external MySQL sources using AWS Database Migration Service or Percona XtraBackup. Aurora MySQL 8.4 is available in all AWS Regions where Aurora MySQL is available. Amazon Aurora MySQL is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with full MySQL compatibility. It provides scale-to-zero serverless compute, Aurora Global Database for Multi-Region resilience, Aurora I/O-Optimized for improved price performance on I/O-intensive workloads, and built-in security and continuous backups.

Amazon SageMaker AI now supports OpenAI-compatible APIs for inference endpoints

Amazon SageMaker Inference now supports OpenAI-compatible APIs, so you can use the tools and frameworks you already know, like the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, and Strands Agents, to connect directly to your SageMaker endpoints. Switching requires nothing more than changing an endpoint URL — no custom integration code, no SDK wrappers, no rewrites. With this launch, you no longer need to adopt a different API format or change your authentication approach. Simply change your endpoint URL, and your existing SDK calls, streaming logic, and framework integrations continue to work as-is. You immediately gain the ability to choose your own GPU instances, keep data in your own VPC, run any open source or fine-tuned model, and scale with auto-scaling policies tuned to your workload. Authentication uses existing AWS credentials with automatic token refresh, so there is nothing extra to manage in production. This capability is available today in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Frankfurt), South America (São Paulo), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Canada (Central). To learn more and get started, read the launch blog or visit the SageMaker Inference documentation.

ECS supports native integration with Amazon EBS volumes in GovCloud Regions

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) now supports mounting Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes to containers in the AWS GovCloud Regions. This capability makes it easier for you to deploy storage and data intensive applications such as ETL jobs, media transcoding, and ML inference workloads using serverless containers. With EBS task attachment, customers can allow ECS to provision, manage and de-provision EBS Volumes with each new ECS Task launch. EBS task attachment will automatically wire these volumes to their containerized workloads. Customers can have ECS format an empty volume on their behalf or bring an EBS snapshot for ECS to use to create new volumes. EBS task attachment is now available in the AWS GovCloud Regions for EC2, Fargate, and Managed Instances launch types. To learn more, see Use Amazon EBS volumes with Amazon ECS in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.

AWS Security Hub now uncovers identity risks from unused access

Today, AWS Security Hub brings identity risk into the same unified console where central security teams already manage threats, exposures, and posture findings. Security Hub now detects unused IAM permissions, roles, and credentials across your AWS organization, helping central security teams identify and reduce identity risk at scale. Until now, managing identity risk across hundreds of accounts required toggling between multiple tools, with no unified view connecting unused permissions to actual resource exposure. Security Hub now surfaces these identity risks alongside threats, exposures, and posture findings in a unified console, enabling teams to prioritize remediation based on actual organizational risk. When you enable Security Hub for your organization, a service-linked IAM Access Analyzer is automatically created in each member account with no additional configuration required. Security Hub evaluates IAM principals against 90 days of actual access activity, detects unused access, and correlates identity findings with exposure context so teams can focus on the risks that matter most. Security Hub also provides on-demand generation of recommended least-privilege policies based on actual usage patterns, helping teams refine IAM permissions and reduce their attack surface. These capabilities represent a foundational step toward broader cloud infrastructure entitlement management in Security Hub, delivered with consistent workflows, automation rules, and downstream integrations. These capabilities are included with Security Hub Essentials at no additional cost. To learn more, see Understanding unused access findings in Security Hub in the AWS Security Hub User Guide and the AWS Security Hub product page. For the full list of AWS Regions where Security Hub is available, see the AWS Regional Services List.
