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 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 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 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 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

Today, AWS announces Context Ontology Accelerator, an open source accelerator that helps organizations build an ontology of their business — a machine-readable model of their products, customers, policies, and the rules that define how they operate so AI agents make accurate, consistent, explainable, and auditable decisions. Context Ontology Accelerator connects to your structured and/or unstructured data sources, and uses AI to draft an ontology; your domain experts review, edit, and approve every element of it. The approved ontology is stored in a knowledge graph you own, expressed in open W3C standards so it works with any standards-based tooling, and any agent can consume it through the included Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Organizations building AI agents need more trust in their agents' decisions, with outputs they can explain and audit. The context those agents require — entities, rules, policies, relationships — is scattered across dozens of systems with conflicti...
