AWS Client VPN now supports connectivity to IPv6 resources
Today, AWS Client VPN announces support for remote access to IPv6 workloads, allowing customers to establish secure VPN connections to their IPv6-enabled VPC resources. This new capability enables customers to meet their compliance and IPv6 network adoption goals. Now organizations can support IPv4, IPv6, and dual-stack resource connectivity through their Client VPN endpoints.\n Previously, Client VPN only supported remote access to IPv4-enabled AWS workloads. With this feature, administrators can now support IPv6-enabled resources using IPv6-only or dual-stack Client VPN endpoints. Organizations can now directly connect their remote users to IPv6 resources and maintain end-to-end IPv6-only connectivity. For example, organizations can now use IPv6-enabled devices to remotely access IPv6-enabled resources in VPC via Client VPN, preserving end-to-end IPv6 connectivity. This feature simplifies network architecture for organizations using IPv6 while preserving native protocol preferences. This feature is available in all regions where AWS Client VPN is generally available, except the Middle East (Bahrain) Region, and comes with no additional cost. Customers can use IPv6 and dual-stack endpoints at the current endpoint per-hour price. To learn more about Client VPN:

Amazon GameLift Streams now offers enhanced flexibility with default applications
Starting today, Amazon GameLift Streams offers enhanced flexibility for managing default applications in stream groups. You can now create new stream groups without specifying a default application and modify or remove the default application in the existing stream group.\n The key improvements include:
Ability to create a stream group without a default application
Ability to select and modify the default application in an existing stream group
Ability to unlink a default application without having to delete the entire stream group
Automatic selection of a new default application when no default exists, before streaming an application, ensuring the stream group always has a default when available
Each stream group can have one application set as default, which is pre-cached to help reduce the stream startup time. You can now switch the default status between any linked applications to optimize the performance without recreating stream groups.
To take advantage of these improvements, you can use the updated Amazon GameLift Streams APIs or the service console to manage your default application configurations. The UpdateStreamGroup API includes a new optional field for the default application identifier. The AssociateApplications and DisassociateApplications APIs have also been updated to handle default application changes. For more information about default applications, see Multi-application stream groups in the Developer Guide.
These enhancements provide a better experience as you build and scale your cloud gaming infrastructure.

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports Redo Transport Compression
Amazon RDS now supports Redo Transport Compression, a feature that compresses redo data before it is transmitted to a standby database. By reducing the amount of data sent over the network, it improves redo transport performance. Because of faster redo log transport, customers can achieve a lower Recovery Point Objective (RPO), which is the amount of data loss that may occur when promoting a replica in situations where the primary instance becomes unavailable.\n Compression and decompression of redo data consumes CPU resources on both the primary and standby databases. Customers should ensure that sufficient CPU capacity is available to handle this increased workload, and use Redo Transport Compression in situations where reduced network traffic and improved RPO outweigh the CPU overhead of compression. To enable the feature, set redo_compression parameter in the Parameter Group for your database instance. Redo Log Compression is available for both mounted and read replicas, and requires Oracle Enterprise Edition with Oracle Advanced Compression Licensing. Redo Transport Compression is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon RDS for Oracle is available. To learn more about using Redo Transport Compression, visit the Amazon RDS User Guide.
Amazon Polly launches more synthetic generative voices
Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of seven highly expressive Amazon Polly Generative voices in English, French, Polish and Dutch. Amazon Polly is a fully-managed service that turns text into lifelike speech, enabling developers and builders to speechify their applications for conversational AI or for speech content creation.\n We are excited to share that Amazon Polly today launches one new male-sounding generative voice: Canadian French - Liam together with six new female-sounding generative voices: US English - Salli, Belgian French - Isabelle, French - Celine, Canadian French - Gabrielle, Polish - Ola, and Polish - Ewa. This launch expands the number of voices available on Polly’s Generative TTS engine to twenty-seven diverse voices. With this release, Polly now offers six male-sounding voices (Canadian French - Liam, French - Rémi, German - Daniel, US Spanish - Pedro, Spain Spanish - Sergio, and Mexico Spanish - Andrés) that speak multiple languages while maintaining the same vocal identity as the US English voice Matthew. Having the same voice identity while speaking multiple languages natively enables customers to switch from one language to another while preserving brand identity across regions/locales. This is made possible by Amazon Polly’s GenAI-based polyglot capability, where a single voice is able to synthesize speech in multiple languages. All generative voices are accessible in the US East (North Virginia), Europe (Frankfurt), and US West (Oregon) regions and complement the other types of voices that are already available in the same regions. To hear how Polly voices sound, go to Amazon Polly Features. For more details on the Polly offerings and use, please read the Amazon Polly documentation and visit our pricing page.
