Amazon GameLift Streams now supports Custom Aspect Ratio and Dynamic Resolution

Amazon GameLift Streams now supports Custom Aspect Ratio and Dynamic Resolution, giving you greater control over the streaming experience across diverse player devices and network conditions.\n With Custom Aspect Ratio, you can configure a specific resolution per stream session to match your player’s device — including portrait, landscape, ultra-wide, and square aspect ratios. This eliminates letterboxing or pillarboxing, delivering native full-screen experiences on mobile phones, tablets, and non-standard displays. Specify any resolution from 320 to 4096 pixels per dimension (up to 1080p total pixel budget) using the DisplayConfiguration parameter in the StartStreamSession API. You can also try custom resolution from the AWS Console.

Dynamic Resolution automatically adapts stream quality when a player’s network bandwidth fluctuates. When bandwidth drops, the stream gracefully reduces resolution to maintain smooth playback without frame drops or disconnections — and automatically recovers to full quality when conditions improve. Dynamic Resolution is enabled by default for all new stream groups with no configuration required. Customers will need to download the new Web SDK.

Both features are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon GameLift Streams is offered. To learn more, see Custom stream resolution in the Amazon GameLift Streams Developer Guide.    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gameliftstreams/latest/developerguide/custom-stream-resolution.html

AWS Security Hub MCP App brings exposure findings into your AI-assisted workflow (Preview)

AWS announces the preview of the AWS Security Hub MCP App, a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings your Security Hub exposure findings directly into Claude Desktop.  This capability can help accelerates your security investigations by reducing context switching and manual triage, letting you explore and act on your exposures without leaving your AI-assisted workflow.\n With the Security Hub MCP App, you can investigate your security posture in natural language: view your top exposure findings, drill into a finding’s attack path and expanded network path, examine correlated findings and affected resource configurations, and get remediation recommendations. Each tool call returns both a text summary for your AI agent to reason overover and an interactive visualization for you to verify in the same conversation. The MCP server runs locally on your machine using your existing AWS credentials, and every tool is read-only,– no changes are made to your environment.

The Security Hub MCP App is available at no additional cost to Security Hub customers. This feature is available in preview in all AWS commercial Regions that support Security Hub. To learn more, see the AWS Security Hub User Guide and the AWS Security Hub product page. For the full list of Regions, see the AWS Regional Services List.

AWS Elemental MediaTailor adds configurable ad timeout and concurrency controls for improved ad fill and faster startup

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now gives you direct control over ad decision server (ADS) timeout. Previously, changing these settings required contacting AWS Support. You can now configure individual HTTP ad request timeouts, total ad personalization time budgets for live, VOD, and live ad prefetch, and enable parallel ADS requests.\n These settings allow you to optimize ad delivery performance for your specific workflows. For example, you can increase the personalization time budget for live events to improve ad fill rates or enable parallel ADS requests in VOD workflows to reduce overall response time for faster video startup. New prefetch-specific timeout settings give you additional granularity for livestream ad retrieval.

You can configure these settings through the AWS Elemental MediaTailor console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs using the new AdsPersonalizationTimeouts and AdsPersonalizationConcurrency parameters on your playback configurations.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Elemental MediaTailor is available. 

To learn more about configuring ADS request timeouts, personalization time budgets, and concurrency, see Advanced settings in the AWS Elemental MediaTailor User Guide.

Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports restoring TDE databases on Mult-AZ instances

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports restoring Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)-enabled SQL Server databases on Multi-AZ instances and instances configured with a read replica in the same region, using native backup and restore. Previously, TDE-enabled database restore was available only for Single-AZ instances, requiring you to disable TDE or migrate to a Single-AZ configuration before restoring encrypted databases.\n You can restore TDE-enabled database backups directly to Amazon RDS for SQL Server Multi-AZ instances and instances configured with a read replica in the same region. Back up your existing TDE certificate, store it in Amazon S3, and restore it to your Amazon RDS instance with the TDE option enabled. Then, restore your TDE-enabled database backup from Amazon S3 using Amazon RDS native backup and restore. This simplifies your migration and recovery workflows when you require both encryption at rest with TDE and the high availability of Multi-AZ deployments. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon RDS for SQL Server is supported. To learn more, see the Amazon RDS for SQL Server User Guide.
