AWS Backup adds cross-Region and cross-account backup support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Backup now supports copying Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups across AWS Regions and accounts. You can copy your FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups to another AWS Region, another AWS account, or both, using policy-based backup plans or on-demand copy jobs. Copying backups to a separate Region helps you meet cross-Region disaster recovery and business continuity goals, while copying to a separate account helps protect your backups from accidental deletion, operational error, or account compromise. AWS Backup manages these copies centrally, and you can automate them across your organization using AWS Organizations. This capability is available in all commercial AWS Regions where both Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and AWS Backup are available. To get started, visit the AWS Backup console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs. For a complete list of supported Regions and features, visit the AWS Backup documentation .

Amazon Cognito adds admin API operation to reset user TOTP configurations - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Cognito now provides a new admin API operation to reset a user's time-based one-time Password (TOTP) multi-factor authentication (MFA) configuration. When users lose access to their TOTP device, administrators can remove the device association, allowing the user to enroll a new device on their next sign-in. This removes the need to recreate accounts to recover locked-out users if they lose access to their TOTP device. Customers can maintain MFA enforcement while providing a recovery path. This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Cognito is available. To get started, access the AdminDeleteSoftwareToken API using the AWS CLI, SDKs, or APIs. See the developer guide for instructions. Post Updated on August 26, 2026 at 11:00PM
