RDS SQL Server now supports publishing SQL Server Audit logs to CloudWatch - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports publishing SQL Server Audit logs to CloudWatch. SQL Server Audit is a native SQL Server feature that allows tracking and logging events that occur on the Database Engine. On Amazon RDS, you can create audits and audit specifications in the same way that you create them for on-premises SQL Server database servers. Now you can publish the audit logs to S3, CloudWatch, or both. If you enable both S3 and CloudWatch options, the audit log publication will be marked as "completed" only after the audit log files are uploaded to both S3 and CloudWatch. Once the audit logs are in CloudWatch, you can perform real-time analysis of the log data. If you enable retention, RDS keeps your audit logs on your DB instance for the configured period of time. For more information, see SQL Server Audit (database engine) in the SQL Server documentation. For detailed configuration instructions, see the Amazon RDS for SQ...

AWS Organizations now provides maximum account quota visibility in Service Quotas - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Organizations customers can now view their maximum number of accounts quota and its utilization directly through AWS Service Quotas instead of relying on AWS Support or AWS account teams to determine their current account limit. Customers can now proactively plan account growth with ease by monitoring their current account quota utilization and requesting increases before reaching their limit. They can view this quota by logging into management account and accessing the Service Quotas console or calling the Service Quotas GetServiceQuota API. This quota visibility is available now available in US East (N. Virginia). To learn more, see viewing service quotas in the AWS Service Quotas documentation. For more information about AWS Organizations quotas and service limits, see the AWS Organizations documentation . Post Updated on August 3, 2026 at 07:54PM

AWS Lambda Provisioned Mode for Amazon SQS event source mappings now supports up to 10,000 event pollers - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Lambda now supports a maximum of 10,000 event pollers for Provisioned Mode for Amazon SQS event source mappings (ESMs), a 5x increase from the previous limit of 2,000. This enables you to reach up to 100,000 concurrent invocations, so you can build highly responsive and scalable event-driven applications with stringent performance requirements. Customers use Amazon SQS as an event source for Lambda to build mission-critical applications such as real-time order processing, financial transaction pipelines, IoT telemetry ingestion, and large-scale fan-out workloads, where delays in event processing can directly impact business outcomes. Provisioned Mode for SQS ESM allows you to configure a minimum and maximum number of event pollers and optimize the throughput for your application. However, the maximum number of pollers was previously limited to 2,000, which constrained the number of concurrent invocations that could be reached per ESM, and required customers to split their ...

Amazon GameLift Streams now supports sharing streams with stream URLs - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon GameLift Streams now offers stream URLs, which give end users temporary, unauthenticated access to a playable stream session in a supported web browser. Recipients need no AWS account, no credentials, and no software install. To share a playable stream, create a stream URL for a stream group and one of its applications, set how long the stream URL stays valid and how many sessions it can start, and send the link. Each person who opens the link starts an independent stream session, and Amazon GameLift Streams routes them to a nearby streaming location from the locations you selected. No client integration or backend service is required. You can create, monitor, and revoke stream URLs in the Amazon GameLift Streams console or with the new CreateStreamUrl, GetStreamUrl, ListStreamUrls, and RevokeStreamUrl APIs. There is no additional charge for stream URLs. You are charged for the stream capacity that sessions started from a stream URL consume, as described on the Amazon GameLi...

Amazon EC2 I7i instances now available in Asia Pacific (Thailand) and Israel (Tel Aviv) Regions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of high performance Storage Optimized Amazon EC2 I7i instances in the Asia Pacific (Thailand) and Israel (Tel Aviv) Regions. Powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon Processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, these new instances deliver up to 23% better compute performance and more than 10% better price performance over previous generation I4i instances. Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, I7i instances offer up to 45TB of NVMe storage with up to 50% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I4i instances. I7i instances offer compute and storage performance for x86-based storage optimized instances in Amazon EC2 ideal for I/O intensive and latency-sensitive workloads that demand very high random IOPS performance with real-time latency to access the small to medium size datasets. Additionally, torn write prevention feature suppor...

AWS WAF now supports Miggo Security managed rule groups for emerging threats and AI/ML application protection - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS WAF now supports two new partner managed rule groups from Miggo Security, available through AWS Marketplace: Miggo Rules for AWS WAF – High Emerging Application Threats , and Miggo Rules for AWS WAF – AI/ML Application Protection . These rule groups give AWS WAF customers continuously updated protection against vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited, have public proof-of-concept code, or appear in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, without writing or maintaining custom rules. The High Emerging Application Threats rule group focuses on vulnerabilities under active exploitation, and the AI/ML Application Protection rule group focuses on generative-AI application stacks such as AI agent frameworks, LLM gateways, and model-serving infrastructure. You can subscribe to either rule group and add it to a web ACL directly in the AWS WAF console through AWS Marketplace, with no additional configuration. Both rule groups support versioning, and pricing is set...

Amazon ECR now supports image layers up to 200 GB - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) has increased the maximum image layer size limit to 200 GB, for images pushed via Docker push. Previously, packaging assets required splitting data across multiple layers or offloading to external storage systems. With this update, customers can store up to 200 GB in a single image layer, eliminating extra complexity for use cases like embedding large language models, bundling genomics datasets, or packaging large binary dependencies directly into your container images. Images pushed using the AWS SDK or CLI; (UploadLayerPartAPI) remain limited to 50 GB. This feature is available in all AWS Regions and partitions where Amazon ECR is available except the Middle East (Bahrain) and Middle East (UAE) Regions. To learn more, visit the Amazon ECR product page and refer to the Amazon ECR User Guide . For pricing information, see the Amazon ECR pricing page . Post Updated on August 3, 2026 at 04:00PM
