1. Announcing Lambda MicroVMs: serverless compute environments with VM-level isolation and near-instant startup
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS Lambda now offers MicroVMs, a serverless compute environment with VM-level isolation and near-instant startup. This benefits developers who need to securely run just-in-time code without managing virtualization infrastructure. MicroVMs are powered by Firecracker virtualization.
2. Amazon EC2 C9g and C9gd instances powered by AWS Graviton5 processors are now available
Compute · AWS Blog
Amazon EC2 C9g and C9gd instances, powered by AWS Graviton5 processors, are now available, offering higher throughput per vCPU and faster memory access. This matters for customers running compute-intensive workloads like real-time analytics and CPU-based machine learning inference. C9g instances deliver up to 25% higher performance per vCPU compared to previous-generation C8g instances.
3. Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports R8g.24xlarge and R8g.48xlarge instances
Database · AWS What's New
Amazon DocumentDB now supports R8g.24xlarge and R8g.48xlarge instances, powered by AWS Graviton4 processors with DDR5 memory. This benefits customers who need higher throughput and support for larger working sets in memory, such as those running high-concurrency transactional applications. R8g instances are available through the AWS Management Console, CLI, and SDK.
4. OAuth support for the AWS MCP Server
Security · AWS What's New
The AWS MCP Server now supports OAuth, allowing AI agents to connect using industry-standard authentication without additional software. This benefits developers who can authorize agents interactively or programmatically, while administrators can govern OAuth access using IAM policies. Existing AWS identities and sign-in methods continue to apply.
5. Automate public TLS certificate issuance with ACME support in AWS Certificate Manager
Security · AWS Blog
AWS Certificate Manager now supports ACME, automating public TLS certificate issuance and renewal. This benefits customers who manage TLS certificates for their applications, reducing the risk of certificate expiration and associated errors. ACME support is available for automated certificate renewal and revocation.
6. Accelerate multiplayer game hosting with AWS m8azn instances
Compute · AWS Compute Blog
AWS m8azn instances, powered by AMD's 5th gen EPYC processors, are now available for accelerating multiplayer game hosting. This benefits game studios hosting dedicated multiplayer servers on AWS, offering lower latency and higher concurrency. M8azn instances provide up to 2x computational performance for demanding game workloads.
7. AWS DMS Schema Conversion now supports offline SQL Server conversion
Database · AWS What's New
AWS DMS Schema Conversion now supports offline SQL Server conversion, enabling schema and code conversion without direct database connectivity. This benefits organizations with security policies restricting external tool access to production databases, eliminating the need for security reviews and firewall changes. Offline conversion delivers the same results as the connected approach.
