Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports custom domain

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports custom domains for your WorkSpaces Secure Browser portals, enabling you to configure portal access through your own domain name instead of the default portal URL. This feature provides users with a more integrated experience using a domain that aligns with your organization’s branding for each secure browser session.\n As an administrator you simply add the custom domain in the WorkSpaces Secure browser portal and set up a reverse proxy (for example Amazon CloudFront). Once set up, traffic is routed through your reverse proxy to the portal endpoint, and WorkSpaces Secure Browser automatically redirects users to the configured custom domain after authentication and authorization. Authentication can be via AWS Identity Center or your own Identity Provider (IdP), supporting both IdP-initiated and service provider-initiated flows. This feature is available at no additional cost in 10 AWS Regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore). WorkSpaces Secure Browser offers pay-as-you go pricing. To get started, visit the Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser console to configure your custom domain for your WorkSpaces Secure Browser portal. For more information, see the custom domain section in the Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser’s documentation.

Amazon ECS Managed Instances now available in AWS European Sovereign Cloud

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances is now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. ECS Managed Instances is a fully managed compute option designed to eliminate infrastructure management overhead while giving you access to the full capabilities of Amazon EC2. By offloading infrastructure operations to AWS, you get the application performance you want and the simplicity you need while reducing your total cost of ownership.\n Managed Instances dynamically scales EC2 instances to match your workload requirements and continuously optimizes task placement to reduce infrastructure costs. It also enhances your security posture through regular security patching initiated every 14 days. You can simply define your task requirements such as the number of vCPUs, memory size, and CPU architecture, and Amazon ECS automatically provisions, configures and operates most optimal EC2 instances within your AWS account using AWS-controlled access. You can also specify desired instance types in Managed Instances Capacity Provider configuration, including GPU-accelerated, network-optimized, and burstable performance, to run your workloads on the instance families you prefer. To get started with ECS Managed Instances, use the AWS Console, Amazon ECS MCP Server, or your favorite infrastructure-as-code tooling to enable it in a new or existing Amazon ECS cluster. You will be charged for the management of compute provisioned, in addition to your regular Amazon EC2 costs. To learn more about ECS Managed Instances, visit the feature page, documentation, and AWS News launch blog.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports browser profiles

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports browser profiles, enabling you to reuse authentication state across multiple browser sessions without repeated login flows. This feature reduces session setup time from minutes to tens of seconds for enterprise customers processing hundreds or thousands of automated browser sessions daily.\n Browser profiles persist and reuse browser data including cookies and local storage across multiple sessions. You authenticate to a website once and save the session to a browser profile. When you start a new session using that saved profile, your authentication state is preserved, and you remain logged in. This enables agents to perform tasks on authenticated websites without manual login intervention. You can choose flexible session modes for both read-only and persistent operations, enabling parallel processing where multiple sessions use the same profile simultaneously.

This feature is available in all 14 AWS Regions where Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser is available: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Seoul), and Canada (Central).

To learn more, visit the Browser Profiles documentation.

AWS Config now supports 30 new resource types

AWS Config now supports 30 additional AWS resource types across key services including Amazon EKS, Amazon Q, and AWS IoT. This expansion provides greater coverage over your AWS environment, enabling you to more effectively discover, assess, audit, and remediate an even broader range of resources.\n With this launch, if you have enabled recording for all resource types, then AWS Config will automatically track these new additions. The newly supported resource types are also available in Config rules and Config aggregators. You can now use AWS Config to monitor the following newly supported resource types in all AWS Regions where the supported resources are available: Resource Types:

Amazon Connect Cases now supports CSV uploads to map related field options

Amazon Connect Cases now supports using a CSV file to define which field options appear based on other field values, making it easier to configure complex field relationships on case templates. Instead of manually defining valid options — such as applicable defect types based on product category — admins can upload a file to define these relationships at scale, reducing onboarding effort and configuration time.\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.

AWS Network Firewall announces new price reductions

AWS Network Firewall has introduced two pricing improvements for customers. The service has added the hourly and data processing discounts on NAT Gateways that are service-chained with Network Firewall secondary endpoints. Additionally, AWS Network Firewall has removed additional data processing charges for Advanced Inspection, which enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection of encrypted network traffic.\n Previously, NAT Gateway discounts were limited to primary Network Firewall endpoints, and customers paid additional data processing charges when using Advanced Inspection for TLS inspection in select AWS regions. With these improvements, the NAT Gateway discounts now apply when service-chained with both primary and secondary firewall endpoints. Customers also no longer pay the additional data processing charge for Advanced Inspection that ranged from $0.001/GB to $0.009/GB in 13 AWS regions: Middle East (Bahrain), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), EU (Milan), South America (São Paulo), US West (N. California), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific (Melbourne).

These changes help to reduce costs for architectures that use Network Firewall’s multiple VPC endpoint capability and TLS inspection features. Multiple VPC endpoints allow you to connect 50 VPCs per Availability Zone to a single Network Firewall, helping to reduce operational complexity and lower costs as you protect more VPCs. By removing additional data processing charges when using Advanced Inspection, customers can now implement TLS inspection more cost-effectively across their network security architecture.

These pricing improvements are available in all AWS regions where Network Firewall is offered and are applied automatically to eligible configurations. No action is required from customers.

To learn more, see AWS Network Firewall pricing and the AWS Network Firewall service documentation.
