Amazon ECS now supports custom container stop signals on AWS Fargate

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports custom container stop signals for Linux tasks running on AWS Fargate, honoring the stop signal configured in Open Container Initiative (OCI) images when tasks are stopped. The enhancement improves graceful shutdown behavior by aligning Fargate task termination with each container’s preferred termination signal. Previously, when an Amazon ECS task running on AWS Fargate was stopped, each Linux container always received SIGTERM followed by SIGKILL after the configured timeout. With the new behavior, the Amazon ECS container agent reads the stop signal from the container image configuration and sends that signal when stopping the task. Containers that rely on signals such as SIGQUIT or SIGINT for graceful shutdown can now run on Fargate with their intended termination semantics. If no STOPSIGNAL is configured, Amazon ECS continues to send SIGTERM by default. Customers can use custom stop signals on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate by adding a STOPSIGNAL instruction (for example, STOPSIGNAL SIGQUIT) to their OCI‑compliant container images. Support for container‑defined stop signals is available in all AWS Regions. To learn more, refer to the ECS Developer Guide.

Amazon Braket now supports Qiskit 2.0

Amazon Braket now supports Qiskit 2.0, enabling quantum developers to use the latest version of the most popular quantum software framework with native primitives and client-side compilation capabilities. With this release, Braket provides native implementations of Qiskit’s Sampler and Estimator primitives that leverage Braket’s program sets for optimized batching, reducing execution time and costs compared to generic wrapper approaches. The native primitives handle parameter sweeps and observable measurements service-side, eliminating the need for customers to implement this logic manually. Additionally, the bidirectional circuit conversion capability enables customers to use Qiskit’s extensive compilation framework for client-side transpilation before submitting to Braket devices, providing the control and reproducibility that enterprise users and researchers require for device characterization experiments and custom compilation passes. Qiskit 2.0 support is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Braket is available. To get started, see the Qiskit-Braket provider documentation and the Amazon Braket Developer Guide.
