AWS announced 10 external OIDC identity providers per EKS cluster on 24 August 2026 at no extra charge. The user guide adds a Kubernetes 1.32 floor and a 12 KB ceiling the announcement never mentions.

Amazon's 24 August 2026 post credits MySQL 8.4.11 with post-quantum TLS key exchange. The 8.4.11 release notes list no such feature, and RDS MySQL 8.4 is built on AWS-LC rather than OpenSSL 3.5.

AWS ParallelCluster 3.16.0 shipped on 20 August 2026 and was announced on 24 August as an on-node diagnostics tool. Two deprecations and an NFS port change in the same release will stop clusters.

AWS gave CloudShell an "edit" command on 17 August 2026 and aimed it at IaC and agentic work. VPC environments have no persistent storage, and sessions idle out in 20 to 30 minutes.

AWS calls MariaDB 12.3 the latest LTS release. MariaDB's own calendar gives it three years, not five: EOL 12 June 2029 against 29 May 2029 for 11.4, which shipped two years earlier.

Amazon SES shipped ses:custom-path on 14 August 2026 so click-tracking URLs can match Universal Links and App Links. The AWS example uses Apple legacy paths syntax, and a bad value fails silently.

AWS made AgentCore payments generally available on 18 August 2026 in 12 Regions. The pricing page says no additional charge, then bills an API that does not exist and omits both gas fees and a mandatory subscription.

AWS raised the Amazon ECR replication rule limit to 25 per registry on 17 August 2026. The quota table shows ap-east-2 still capped at 10, and the 25 unique-destination ceiling is unchanged.

AWS says deny by default is available wherever Amazon Quick is. Its own region table lists 26 regions and marks 8 for agentic features. Mumbai, Ohio and Singapore are not among them.

Amazon Quick's Microsoft Purview DLP shipped 14 August 2026. The user guide caps you at 1 active configuration, skips files over 500 MB, and gives warn no user-visible effect during a knowledge base sync.

AWS gave Aurora DSQL a CloudWatch Database Insights metric on 20 August 2026. The mode model does not list DSQL and the AWS Price List API carries no Aurora DSQL Database Insights SKU.

AWS added a task-hours cap to Security Agent on 19 August 2026. The smallest allowed value is 20 hours, and the Price List API rates pen testing at $50.00 per hour, so the floor is $1,000 a test.

AWS announced the rebuilt VPN Client on 13 August 2026, after 6.0.0, 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 had shipped. The rebuild relocates configuration, there is no auto-update, and the requirements now list only Windows 11.

AWS shipped five read-only Managed Dashboards on 14 August 2026 at no additional cost. You cannot schedule one directly, and the duplicate you need runs Cost Explorer API calls billed at $0.01 per request.

Bedrock now attributes bedrock-mantle cost by IAM user or role. The user guide says the finest grain is per usage type per day, tags are not retroactive, and existing CUR 2.0 exports must be recreated.

AWS Clean Rooms can now export Spark logs for SQL queries. The logs are redacted: record counts round down to an order of magnitude, values under 100 report as zero, and error text and stack traces are removed.
Manu Shukla 
Clean Rooms can now enforce minimum aggregation on ad-hoc SQL. The user guide lists a COUNT exemption, a clash with differential privacy, and a cut-down SQL surface the announcement never mentions.

AWS shipped log group tag propagation for CloudWatch Centralization on 19 August 2026. The opt-in carries a rename requirement, a non-adjustable 5 TPS tagging ceiling, and a health field that stays green.
Manu Shukla 
AWS says the three new CloudWatch pipelines processors cost nothing extra. The pipelines documentation says S3 and third-party sources are metered after processing, so every enriched byte is billed as a Custom log.

The 17 August 2026 announcement says recordings now survive across browser tabs. The Amazon Q Developer guide, live on the same day, says the session ends when the tab closes.

Amazon shipped six Corretto lines on 18 August 2026, four weeks after the July release. On five of them the OpenJDK update digits never move, so version-based inventory cannot tell patched from unpatched.

One call can now terminate 100 instances. AWS pitches it at container orchestrators - the workload whose main safety control, instance scale-in protection, explicitly does not apply to this API.

AWS enabled AMI creation with local snapshots on Outposts on 19 August 2026. The docs add a required --snapshot-location flag, so unchanged create-image automation now returns InvalidParameterValue.
