AWS Neuron announces support for Dynamic Resource Allocation with Amazon EKS
AWS announces the Neuron Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) driver for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), bringing Kubernetes-native hardware-aware scheduling to AWS Trainium-based instances. The Neuron DRA driver publishes rich device attributes directly to the Kubernetes scheduler, enabling topology-aware placement decisions without custom scheduler extensions.\n Deploying AI workloads on Kubernetes requires ML engineers to make infrastructure decisions that are not directly related to model development, such as determining device counts, understanding hardware and network topologies, and writing accelerator-specific manifests. This creates friction, slows iteration, and tightly couples workloads to underlying infrastructure. As use cases expand to distributed training, long-context inference, and disaggregated architectures, this complexity becomes a scaling bottleneck. The Neuron DRA driver removes this burden by separating infrastructure concerns from ML workflows. Infrastructure teams define reusable ResourceClaimTemplates that capture device topology, allocation, and networking policies. ML engineers can simply reference these templates in their manifests, without needing to reason about hardware details. This enables consistent deployment across workload types while allowing per-workload configuration so multiple workloads can efficiently share the same nodes. The Neuron DRA driver supports all AWS Trainium instance types and is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Trainium is available.

AWS DataSync now supports AWS Secrets Manager for all location types
AWS DataSync now supports AWS Secrets Manager for credential management across all location types, including Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. Previously, Secrets Manager integration was limited to a subset of location types, requiring you to provide credentials directly through the DataSync API or console.\n You can centralize credential management for all DataSync locations in Secrets Manager, providing a single, consistent approach across all your data transfers. You can also encrypt credentials with your own AWS KMS key instead of the default AWS-owned key, helping you meet your organization’s security requirements and governance policies. All secrets are stored in your account, allowing you to update credentials as needed, independent of the DataSync service.
DataSync supports two approaches for credential management. You can provide a secret ARN referencing credentials you manage in Secrets Manager for full control over rotation, auditing, and access policies. Alternatively, DataSync can automatically create and manage secrets on your behalf.
This capability is available is available in the majority of AWS regions where AWS DataSync is offered. For the full list of supported regions, visit the AWS Capabilities tool in Builder Center. To get started, visit the AWS DataSync console. For more information, see Managing credentials with AWS Secrets Manager in the AWS DataSync documentation.
AWS Firewall Manager launches in AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region
AWS Firewall Manager announces that it is now available in AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region. AWS Firewall Manager helps cloud security administrators and site reliability engineers protect applications while reducing the operational overhead of manually configuring and managing rules.\n Working with AWS Firewall Manager, customers can provide defense in depth policies to address the full range of AWS security services for customers hosting their applications and workloads in AWS Taipei. Customers wishing to establish secured assets using AWS WAF can create and maintain security policies with AWS Firewall Manager. To learn more about how AWS Firewall Manager works, see the AWS Firewall Manager documentation for more details and the AWS Region Table for the list of regions where AWS Firewall Manager is currently available.
