It uses your current task settings—including connection configurations, table mappings, and transformations—to apply corrections automatically, helping ensure accurate and reliable migrations without manual intervention. With Data Resync, AWS DMS can detect and resolve common data issues, such as missing records, duplicate entries, or mismatched values, based on validation results. Data Resync is available starting with AWS DMS replication engine version 3.6.1, and currently supports migration paths from Oracle and SQL Server to PostgreSQL. For detailed information on how Data Resync enhances migration accuracy, please refer to the AWS DMS Technical Documentation.

AWS Cost Anomaly Detection enables advanced alerting through AWS User Notifications

AWS Cost Anomaly Detection now integrates with AWS User Notifications (via Amazon EventBridge), enabling customers to create enhanced alerting capabilities in the AWS User Notifications console. This integration lets customers configure sophisticated alert rules based on service, account, or other cost dimensions to identify and respond to unexpected spending changes faster. Using AWS User Notifications, customers can receive immediate or aggregated alerts through multiple channels including email, AWS Chatbot, and the AWS Console Mobile Application, while maintaining a centralized history of alert notifications.\n This new capability allow customers to customize their cost monitoring by creating alert rules in AWS User Notifications. Now customers can configure rules with higher thresholds for machine learning services that naturally experience cost spikes during training, while setting lower thresholds for stable services like databases where small changes might indicate configuration issues. Customers also benefit from verified contact management, ensuring alerts reach the right teams through validated delivery channels that can be reused across multiple alert configurations. These enhancements are available in all AWS Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions. To learn more about setting up alerts in AWS User Notifications and getting started, visit the AWS Cost Anomaly Detection product page and documentation.

AWS Marketplace Sellers can now receive disbursements for partially paid invoices

AWS Marketplace now supports partial disbursements for AWS Marketplace invoices transacted through the AWS Inc., Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Australia (AU), and Japan (JP) Marketplace Operators (MPOs), allowing sellers to receive funds as buyers make partial payments on AWS Marketplace invoices. AWS Marketplace now automatically processes partial disbursements based on the invoice amount paid by the buyer, aligned with the seller’s disbursement schedule configured in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal (AMMP). Previously, sellers had to wait for complete invoice payments by buyers before receiving disbursements for invoices.\n Sellers can now access funds faster through disbursement of partial payments without waiting for buyers to pay invoices in full. Enhancements have also been made to AWS Marketplace Seller reporting to provide better visibility into partially disbursed invoices. For more details on the AWS Marketplace Seller reporting experience, visit the billed revenue dashboard and collections and disbursement dashboard guides. Partial disbursements are available to AWS Marketplace sellers who transact through the AWS Inc., EMEA, AU, and JP MPOs.

AWS Transfer Family announces ML-KEM quantum-resistant key exchange for SFTP

AWS Transfer Family now supports ML- KEM (FIPS-203), a post-quantum algorithm standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), for SFTP file transfers. Quantum-resistant public-key exchange helps protect transfers of data files that require long-term confidentiality against “harvest now, decrypt later“ threats. In such scenarios, an adversary may be recording present day traffic for decrypting once cryptanalytically relevant quantum computers become available.\n AWS Transfer Family offers fully managed support for the transfer of files over SFTP, AS2, FTPS, FTP, and web browser-based transfers directly into and out of AWS storage services. With this launch, you can now use post-quantum (PQ) hybrid security policies that combine classical Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman with quantum-resistant ML-KEM key exchanges between your AWS Transfer Family SFTP endpoints and clients like OpenSSH, Putty, and JSch that support PQ algorithms. When using a PQ hybrid policy, your Transfer Family SFTP server preserves the standard connection options supported by most clients today, while leveraging the most secure PQ connection options with clients that support quantum-resistant key exchange. ML-KEM quantum-resistant key exchange for SFTP file transfers is supported in all AWS Regions where AWS Transfer Family is available. Older PQ key exchange methods which included ML-KEM’s pre-standardized version (Kyber), introduced in AWS Transfer in 2023, will be removed from existing policies and no longer be included in the new PQ policy. To learn more about using PQ security policies to enable quantum-resistant key exchange, visit our documentation.
