Amazon VPC IPAM policies now support RDS and Application Load Balancers

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) IP Address Manager (IPAM) now supports policies for Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances and Application Load Balancers (ALB). This feature enables IP administrators to centrally configure and enforce IP allocation strategies for these resources, improving operational posture and simplifying network and security management.\n Using IPAM policies, IP administrators can centrally define public IP allocation rules for AWS resources, such as RDS instances, Application Load Balancers and Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateways when used in regional availability mode, and Elastic IP addresses. The IP allocation policy configured centrally cannot be superseded by individual application teams, ensuring compliance at all times. Before this feature, IP administrators had to educate database administrators and application developers about IP allocation requirements for RDS instances and Application Load Balancers, and rely on them to always comply with best practices. Now, you can add IP-based filters for RDS and ALB traffic in your networking and security constructs like access control lists, route tables, security groups, and firewalls, with confidence that public IPv4 address assignments to these resources always come from specific IPAM pools. The feature is available in all AWS commercial regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, in both Free Tier and Advanced Tier of VPC IPAM. When used with the Advanced Tier of VPC IPAM, customers can set policies across AWS accounts and AWS regions. To get started please see the IPAM policies documentation page. To learn more about IPAM, view the IPAM documentation. For details on pricing, refer to the IPAM tab on the Amazon VPC Pricing Page.

Amazon Bedrock introduces API keys to streamline development in GovCloud regions

API keys for Amazon Bedrock are now available in AWS GovCloud (US) regions, expanding a feature that simplifies authentication and accelerates generative AI development. Originally launched in commercial AWS regions in July 2025, API keys for Amazon Bedrock enable developers to quickly generate access credentials directly within the Amazon Bedrock console or AWS SDK without needing to manually configure IAM principals and policies.\n With the introduction of API keys for Amazon Bedrock, developers can generate short-term and long-term API keys directly from the Amazon Bedrock console or API to authenticate API calls to Amazon Bedrock models. Short-term API keys are valid for the duration of your console session, or up to 12 hours, whichever is shorter. Long-term API keys give you the flexibility to define key validity duration and manage the keys from the AWS IAM console. Bedrock API key authentication is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) and commercial AWS Regions where Amazon Bedrock is available. To learn more about API keys in Amazon Bedrock, visit the API Keys documentation in the Amazon Bedrock user guide, or check out our blog for code snippets and implementation examples.

AWS IoT Device Management launches Wi-Fi Simple Setup for managed integrations

AWS IoT Device Management now offers Wi-Fi Simple Setup (WSS) for managed integrations, enabling developers to implement simplified Wi-Fi provisioning in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. With WSS, developers can now integrate QR code scanning functionality that empowers end users to connect their Wi-Fi enabled devices using simple bar code scans, reducing device setup time and minimizing the need for technical support compared to manual configurations.\n The WSS capability operates through the managed integrations feature of AWS IoT Device Management. Managed integrations enables developers to control and manage devices across different vendors and connectivity protocols, while WSS helps streamline the device onboarding process. Once users securely store their Wi-Fi credentials in managed integrations, new device setup becomes nearly automatic. Users simply power on their new IoT device and scan its QR code using the solution provider’s mobile app. The new device discovers and connects to a hidden network broadcasted by the IoT hub, which securely transmits the user’s pre-stored Wi-Fi credentials to complete the onboarding process. This creates a near zero-touch experience for end users to securely and conveniently onboard Wi-Fi-connected devices into managed integrations-based IoT solutions. The managed integrations feature is available in Canada (Central) and Europe (Ireland) To learn more, refer to the developer guide and get started on the AWS IoT console.

AWS Transform custom adds AWS PrivateLink support and expands to Europe (Frankfurt) Region

AWS Transform custom now supports AWS PrivateLink and is available in a new AWS Region, Europe (Frankfurt), in addition to the US East (N. Virginia) Region. AWS Transform custom helps organizations reduce technical debt by automating repetitive transformation tasks such as language version upgrades, API migrations, and framework updates. The agent is designed for enterprise development teams and consulting partners who need to execute consistent, repeatable code transformations across large codebases.\n With AWS Transform custom, teams can create custom transformation definitions using natural language, documentation, and code samples, or use AWS-managed transformations for common scenarios including Java, Python, and Node.js version upgrades. Through continual learning, the service improves transformation quality with every execution over time. With AWS PrivateLink support, customers can now access AWS Transform custom from their Amazon VPC without routing traffic over the public internet, helping meet security and compliance requirements. To learn more about AWS Transform custom, visit the product page and user guide.

Amazon Connect makes it easier to manage recurring overrides for hours of operation

Amazon Connect now makes it easier to manage contact center operating hours for recurring events like holidays, maintenance windows, and promotional periods, with a visual calendar that provides at-a-glance visibility by day, month, or year. You can set up recurring overrides that automatically take effect weekly, monthly, or every other Friday, and use them to provide customers with personalized experiences, all without having to manually revisit configurations. For example, every January 1st you can automatically greet customers with “Happy New Year!” and route them to a special holiday message before checking if agents are available, then on January 2nd your contact center automatically returns to normal operations.\n These additional hours of operation override capabilities are available in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is available and offer public API and AWS CloudFormation support. To learn more, see the Amazon Connect Administrator Guide. To learn more about Amazon Connect, please visit the Amazon Connect website.
