Amazon Connect Customer Global Resiliency now supports persistent chat across linked AWS Regions

Amazon Connect Customer Global Resiliency now provides customers a mechanism to deliver long, persistent chat experiences across linked AWS Regions. With this capability, end users can resume previous conversations with full context, metadata, and transcripts carried over across Regions, eliminating the need for end users to repeat information and allowing agents to provide personalized service with access to the entire conversation history across AWS Regions.\n For example, an end user can start a chat in US-East (N. Virginia) and later come back to it in the linked US-West (Oregon) Region, continuing the same conversation with an agent with full conversation history and chat attachment. To adopt this capability, onboard to Global routing.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect Customer Global Resiliency is supported. To learn more, visit Amazon Connect Customer Admin Guide.

AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN now support 1:1 NAT

AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN now provide managed one-to-one network address translation (NAT) directly on their attachments, through integration with Regional Private NAT Gateway. This enables customers to connect private networks that share the same IP address ranges without renumbering either network, deploying a NAT appliance, or writing return-traffic rules.\n Networks with overlapping Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks have long been unable to communicate, a common blocker during mergers and acquisitions, when connecting partner networks over AWS Site-to-Site VPN, in multicloud connectivity, and when independently provisioned VPCs need to interconnect. Using this capability, customers can define address-translation rules on a AWS Transit Gateway or AWS Cloud WAN attachment, specifying the private IP range each source CIDR translates to, across Amazon VPC, AWS Site-to-Site VPN, AWS Direct Connect, and SD-WAN appliances connected through Transit Gateway Connect. Both services apply translation automatically in both directions, with no separate return-traffic rule and no NAT appliance to deploy. AWS operates, scales, and manages the NAT capability as part of the attachment. For example, if a customer acquires a business and both VPCs use 10.0.0.0/16, they translate one VPC’s addresses to a non-overlapping range on its attachment and connect the networks immediately. Customers set it up in minutes using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS SDKs, and AWS CloudFormation, and monitor translated traffic through Amazon CloudWatch metrics and Amazon EventBridge events.

AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN offer 1:1 NAT through Regional Private NAT Gateway in all AWS commercial regions where they operate. For full pricing details, see  Amazon VPC pricing . To learn more, see the  AWS Transit Gateway  and  AWS Cloud WAN  product pages, and the AWS Transit Gateway  and AWS Cloud WAN  documentation.

Amazon EMR on EKS reduces EMR charge by 30 percent

Amazon EMR announces a reduction of 30 percent in the EMR charge added to EKS when running EMR on EKS. This price decrease applies to both the per-vCPU-hour charge and the per-GB-hour charge, while the underlying Amazon EKS charges remain unchanged. All EMR workloads running on the EKS deployment option benefit from this change. Now, you can run Apache Spark workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) at a lower cost, and the new price automatically applies to your EMR on EKS workloads with no additional action required on your end.\nThe 30% reduction in EMR on EKS pricing is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon EMR on EKS is available.

Amazon MWAA now available in Mexico (Central) Region

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA) Provisioned environments are now available in the Mexico (Central) Region (mx-central-1). Amazon MWAA Serverless was already available in this Region, and customers can now also use Amazon MWAA Provisioned environments for their Apache Airflow workflows. Amazon MWAA is a managed orchestration service for Apache Airflow that makes it easier for customers to set up and operate end-to-end data pipelines in the cloud at scale.\nCustomers can create Amazon MWAA Provisioned environments using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, the AWS SDKs, or AWS CloudFormation. Customers in Mexico (Central) can now run their Amazon MWAA Provisioned workflows closer to their data sources and end users, reducing latency and helping meet data residency requirements.
