Amazon Aurora DSQL is now available in five additional AWS Regions

Amazon Aurora DSQL single-Region clusters are now available in Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (Sao Paulo). Aurora DSQL is the fastest serverless, distributed SQL database that enables you to build always available applications with virtually unlimited scalability, the highest availability, and zero infrastructure management. It is designed to make scaling and resilience effortless for your applications and offers the fastest distributed SQL reads and writes.\n With this launch, Aurora DSQL is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Canada West (Calgary), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), , Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (Sao Paulo). Get started with Aurora DSQL for free with the AWS Free Tier. To learn more, visit the Aurora DSQL webpage and documentation.

AWS HealthOmics now supports caching of cancelled workflow runs

AWS HealthOmics now supports caching completed task outputs of cancelled runs, enabling customers to reuse outputs and avoid recomputing previously completed tasks. When caching is enabled and a run is cancelled, HealthOmics automatically stores completed task outputs in the customer’s S3 bucket, allowing customers to restart runs from the point of cancellation. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.\n Caching of cancelled runs helps researchers, bioinformaticians, and workflow developers debug and iteratively develop workflows efficiently by storing intermediate files and completed task outputs for inspection. This saves customers the cost of recomputing completed tasks that may have taken hours and accelerates subsequent runs by executing only the remaining incomplete tasks.

Caching cancelled runs is now available for Nextflow, WDL, and CWL runs in all AWS HealthOmics regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul). To learn more, visit the workflow cache documentation.

AWS WAF introduces dynamic label interpolation for custom request and response handling

AWS WAF now supports dynamic label interpolation, enabling you to forward WAF classification signals to your origin and embed context in responses with a single rule. Security engineers who previously maintained a separate rule for every signal value can now use ${namespace:} syntax in custom request headers, response headers, and response bodies to forward an entire label namespace at once. For example, one rule with a dynamic variable can forward all IP reputation signals to your application, which can then respond adaptively, such as by enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA).\n Interpolation also introduces synthetic labels: built-in values resolved from request context, including client IP address, WAF request ID, and JA3 and JA4 fingerprints. You can embed these in custom block pages and challenge pages so users reporting false positives have a reference ID to cite, or forward TLS fingerprints to your application for adaptive auth decisions. Interpolation works with any label namespace, including AWS Managed Rules, AWS Marketplace rule groups, and your own custom labels. Headers automatically adapt as new labels are added to the namespace, and when multiple labels match, values resolve to a comma-separated list.

Dynamic label interpolation is available in all AWS Regions where AWS WAF is available at no additional cost. There are no new API fields or configuration steps. To get started, see Dynamic label interpolation in the AWS WAF Developer Guide, or explore the sample on GitHub.

Claude Platform on AWS is now generally available

Today, AWS announced the general availability of Claude Platform on AWS, a new service that gives customers direct access to Anthropic’s native Claude Platform experience through their existing AWS account. AWS is the first cloud provider to offer access to the native Claude Platform experience. Developers and organizations now have the choice to access Anthropic’s native Claude Platform experience, including APIs, console, and early-access beta features, directly through their existing AWS account, without managing separate accounts, billing, or tracking.\n Claude Platform on AWS is operated by Anthropic, and customer data is processed outside the AWS security boundary. Claude Platform on AWS is designed for development teams and enterprises that want access to Anthropic’s native Claude Platform development experience and do not have specific regional data residency requirements. Customers still use existing IAM credentials and access controls, consolidated AWS billing, and CloudTrail audit logging for full security visibility. Features available through Claude Platform on AWS include Claude Managed Agents (beta), advisor strategy (beta), web search, web fetch, code execution, files API (beta), Skills (beta), MCP connector (beta), prompt caching, citations, batch processing, and the Claude Console for prompt development and evaluation. 

Claude Platform on AWS is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (São Paulo), Europe (Dublin), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Milan), Europe (Zurich), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Parcific (Melborune), Asia, Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Asia Pacific (Melbourne). To learn more, visit the Claude Platform on AWS product page. To get started, see the Claude Platform on AWS documentation.

AWS Transform adds containerization capability during migrations

AWS Transform now supports replatforming applications to containers during migration to AWS. This release extends AWS Transform’s agentic AI capabilities to automate the containerization of your source code, enabling you to migrate and modernize in parallel, reducing the time and complexity of moving from on-premises to cloud-native architectures. Migration teams can containerize source code from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or .zip files, generate Docker images, publish to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR), and deploy to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). This brings containerization into the same workflow your team uses to plan and execute rehost migrations.\n AWS Transform analyzes your source code repositories, generates Dockerfiles, and builds container images with integrated security scanning for common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). It produces deployment-ready Terraform infrastructure-as-code and Helm charts for your target environment. The service supports monolithic repositories (monorepos) and multi-repo structures, private dependency resolution through AWS CodeArtifact, and containerization of thousands of applications at scale. During migration wave planning, you can assign applications to either a rehost or replatform-to-containers path, so you can move and realize the benefits of AWS faster. This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform is offered.
