AWS EntityResolution

  • Features

    • Add support for transitive matching in AWS Entity Resolution rule-based matching workflows. When enabled, records that match through different rules are grouped together into the same match group, allowing related records to be connected across rule levels.

AWS Identity and Access Management

  • Features

    • Added guidance for CreateOpenIDConnectProvider to include multiple thumbprints when OIDC discovery and JWKS endpoints use different hosts or certificates

AWS IoT

  • Features

    • AWS IoT HTTP rule actions now support cross-topic batching, combining messages from different MQTT topics into single HTTP requests.

AWS SDK for Java v2

  • Features

    • Added support for v2.1 retry behavior behind the AWS_NEW_RETRIES_2026 feature gate. When enabled via environment variable AWS_NEW_RETRIES_2026=true or system property -Daws.newRetries2026=true, the SDK applies the following changes:

      • Uses STANDARD as the default retry mode
      • Reduces base backoff delay from 100ms to 50ms
      • Differentiates token costs between transient and throttling errors
      • Honors the max_attempts profile property
      • Uses the x-amz-retry-after response header for server-suggested delays
      • Retries on LimitExceededException as a throttling error
      • Retries on STS IdpCommunicationErrorException
      • Reduces DynamoDB default max attempts from 9 to 4
      • Backs off before failing long-polling operations (e.g., SQS ReceiveMessage) when the retry token bucket is exhausted, instead of failing immediately

      Example usage:

      System.setProperty(SdkSystemSetting.AWS_NEW_RETRIES_2026.property(), "true");
DynamoDbClient ddb = DynamoDbClient.create();

    • Updated endpoint and partition metadata.

Amazon AppStream

  • Features

    • Amazon WorkSpaces Applications now enables AI agents to securely operate desktop applications. Administrators configure stacks to provide agents access to WorkSpaces. Agents can click, type, and take screenshots. Agents authenticate with AWS IAM credentials with activity logged in AWS CloudTrail.

Amazon CloudWatch

  • Features

    • This release adds tag support for CloudWatch Dashboards. The PutDashboard API now accepts a Tags parameter, allowing you to tag dashboards at creation time. Additionally, the TagResource, UntagResource, and ListTagsForResource APIs now support dashboard ARNs as resources.

Amazon CloudWatch Logs

  • Features

    • Adds support for filtering log groups by tags in the ListLogGroups API via the new logGroupTags parameter.

Amazon Q Connect

  • Features

    • Added reasoning details, statusDescription, and timeToFirstTokenMs fields to the ListSpans response in Amazon Q in Connect to provide visibility into model thinking, error diagnostics, and inference latency metrics.
