AWS Deadline Cloud now supports editing job name and description

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports editing job names and descriptions after submission. This new feature makes it easier to organize and identify jobs after submission by updating names or adding useful tracking details in the description field.\n Job names and descriptions are critical metadata for organizing and understanding between users and projects, often tracking things like shot and sequence number across systems. Previously they could only be set at job creation during submission, being able to edit them after submission allows you to fix issues in naming as well as add key tracking information to the job description for other users. You can edit job names and descriptions using the AWS SDK, Deadline client, and Deadline Monitor. To learn more see the AWS Deadline Cloud documentation.

AWS Network Firewall now supports GenAI traffic visibility and enforcement with Web category-based filtering

AWS Network Firewall now provides visibility into generative AI (GenAI) application traffic and supports traffic filtering based on web categories. This new capability simplifies governance by enabling you to identify and control access to GenAI services, social media platforms, streaming sites, and other web categories directly within your firewall rules using pre-defined URL categories.\n This approach of inspecting traffic based on URL categories helps security and compliance teams enforce consistent policies across their AWS environments while providing visibility into usage of emerging technologies like GenAI. You can now easily block access to inappropriate or high-risk domains, restrict GenAI tool usage to approved services, and meet regulatory requirements—all while reducing operational overhead. When combined with AWS Network Firewall’s TLS inspection feature, you can inspect the full URL path using category-based rules for even more granular control. This feature is available in all AWS commercial regions where AWS Network Firewall is supported. To learn more about URL category filtering in AWS Network Firewall, visit AWS Network Firewall product page and service documentation. You can get started by updating your stateful rule groups in the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs.

AWS Marketplace expands AMI self-service listing experience to FPGA products

AWS Marketplace now offers a self-service listing experience for sellers listing Amazon Machine Image (AMI) products with FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) images. This new capability eliminates the previous dependency on manual Product Load Forms and accelerates time-to-market for AWS partners that offer specialized hardware accelerators using FPGA technology on supported Amazon F2 instance types.\n With this launch, sellers can now create and manage AMIs with Amazon FPGA images using a new UI experience or programmatically through the AWS Marketplace Catalog API. During listing creation, sellers are guided through a step-by-step workflow to fill in required information about their listings including up to 15 Amazon FPGA images. The self-service experience includes comprehensive inline validation and error messages to help sellers identify and resolve configuration issues before submission, streamlining the publishing process and improving speed to market. To learn more, see the AWS Marketplace Seller Guide and the AWS Marketplace Catalog API guide. To get started, visit the server product page in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal.

Amazon WorkSpaces announces advanced printer redirection

AWS announces advanced printer redirection for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal, enabling Windows users to access the full feature set of their printers from their virtual desktop environments. With this feature, customers can now use printer-specific capabilities such as double-sided printing, paper tray selection, finishing options (stapling, hole-punching), and color management directly from their Windows WorkSpaces.\n Advanced printer redirection addresses the need for specialized printing features that require printer-specific drivers rather than generic drivers. This capability is ideal for organizations with users who need advanced printing features for professional documents, labels, or specialized output. The feature includes configurable driver validation modes (exact match, partial match, or name-only matching) to balance compatibility with feature support, allowing administrators to optimize for their specific environment. When matching drivers are not found, WorkSpaces automatically falls back to basic printing mode, ensuring users can always print.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Personal is offered. Advanced printer redirection is supported on Windows WorkSpaces with Windows clients only, and requires WorkSpaces Agent version 2.2.0.2116 or later and Windows client version 5.31 or later. Matching printer drivers must be installed on both the WorkSpace and the client device.

For more information about advanced printer redirection in Amazon WorkSpaces, see Configure Printer Support for DCV in the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide, or visit the Amazon WorkSpaces page to learn more about virtual desktop solutions from AWS.

Amazon Connect now supports granular access controls for cases

Amazon Connect now enables you to apply tag-based access control to cases, giving administrators more control over who can view and manage case data. With this capability, you can associate tags with case templates and configure security profiles to control which users can access cases that include specific tags. For example, you can tag fraud-related cases and restrict access so that only users assigned to a fraud security profile can view or edit those cases, helping you enforce internal controls and data access policies.\n Amazon Connect Cases is available in the following AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Africa (Cape Town) AWS regions. To learn more and get started, visit the Amazon Connect Cases webpage and documentation.
