Meet the AWS News Blog team!
Now that Jeff Barr has retired from the AWS News Blog as of December last year, the AWS News Blog team will keep sharing the most important and impactful AWS product launches the moment they become available. I want to quote Jeff’s last comment on the future of the News Blog again:
Going forward, the team will continue to grow and the goal remains the same: to provide our customers with carefully chosen, high-quality information about the latest and most meaningful AWS launches. The blog is in great hands and this team will continue to keep you informed even as the AWS pace of innovation continues to accelerate.
Since 2016, Jeff has been building the AWS News Blog as a team. Currently, we’re a group of 11 bloggers working in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. We co-work with AWS product teams, testing new features firsthand on behalf of customers, and delivering key details in the News Blog the way Jeff has always done.
The Leadership Principles for AWS News Bloggers that Jeff shared on LinkedIn are a textbook for anyone writing for customers in tech companies. They’re the fundamentals that can help you understand and get started blogging quickly, and we’ll continue to stick to these principles with our team. This is why the AWS News Blog is different from other tech companies’ product news channels.
Voices from blog writers
You may be familiar with the names of News Blog writers, but you may not have had the chance to hear about them. Let us introduce ourselves!
I’m honored to continue Jeff’s legacy as a new lead blogger of the News Blog team; he is my role model. When I joined AWS in 2014, the first thing I did was to create the AWS Korea Blog and I started translating Jeff’s blog posts into the Korean language. During the journey, I learned how to write accurate, honest, and powerful guides to help customers get started with new AWS products and features.
Since my first News Blog post in 2018, I have learned so much by being part of this team. Working with product managers and service teams is always an amazing experience. I am interested in serverless, event-driven architectures, and AI/ML. It’s incredible how technologies like generative AI are becoming part of software development implicitly (through AI-enabled development tools) and explicitly (by using models in code).
I’m fortunate to have been a part of this team since 2019. When I don’t write posts, I produce episodes of the AWS Developers Podcast and le podcast AWS en français. I also work with the teams for Amazon EC2 Mac, AWS SDK for Swift, and the CodeBuild and CodeArtifact teams trying to make the AWS Cloud easier to use for Apple developers. My pet project is the Swift Runtime for AWS Lambda.
The Amazon Leadership Principles (LPs) guide all that we do here at AWS, including the work we do as authors of the News Blog. As a developer advocate, I’ve taken the guidance of the LPs and used it to guide members of the AWS community who are looking to create technical content, especially those new in their technical content creation journey.
Just like brewing coffee, being a blog author has been a mix of fun, challenge, and reward. I’ve been particularly fortunate to observe how customer obsession is built into AWS teams. I’ve seen how they work backwards, transforming your feedback into services or features. I genuinely hope that you enjoy reading our articles and look forward to the next chapter of the News Blog team.
As an author, I’m committed to delivering timely information about the latest AWS innovations and launches to our global audience of builders, developers, and technology enthusiasts. I understand the importance of providing clear, accurate, and actionable content that helps you use AWS services effectively. Happy reading everyone!
My specialties are .NET development and microservices, but I’ve always been a jack-of-all-trades and writing for this blog helps me to keep my knife sharp across all corners of modern technology, while also helping others do the same. Thousands of people read the AWS News Blog and use it as a go-to source to keep up with what’s new and to help them make decisions, so I know that what we are doing is meaningful work with huge impact.
Through my blogs, I strive to highlight not just the “what” of new services, but also the “why” and “how” they can transform businesses and user experiences. As a solutions architect specializing in Microsoft Workloads on AWS, I help customers migrate and modernize their workloads and build scalable architecture on AWS. I also mentor diverse people to excel in their cloud careers.
Every time I start writing a new blog, I feel honored to be part of this team, to be able to experiment with something new before it’s released, and to be able to share my experience with the reader. This team is made up of specialists of all levels and from multiple countries and together, we are a multicultural and multi-specialty team. Thank you, reader, for being here.
Joining the News Blog team has transformed how I communicate about technology. With an ever-curious mindset, I approach each new announcement aiming to make innovative services accessible and engaging. By bringing my unique and diverse perspective to technical content, I strive to help developers truly enjoy exploring our latest technologies.

Accelerate operational analytics with Amazon Q Developer in Amazon OpenSearch Service
Today, I’m happy to announce Amazon Q Developer support for Amazon OpenSearch Service, providing AI-assisted capabilities to help you investigate and visualize operational data. Amazon Q Developer enhances the OpenSearch Service experience by reducing the learning curve for query languages, visualization tools, and alerting features. The new capabilities complement existing dashboards and visualizations by enabling natural language exploration and pattern detection. After incidents, you can rapidly create additional visualizations to strengthen your monitoring infrastructure. This enhanced workflow accelerates incident resolution and optimizes engineering resource usage, helping you focus more time on innovation rather than troubleshooting.
Amazon Q Developer in Amazon OpenSearch Service improves operational analytics by integrating natural language exploration and generative AI capabilities directly into OpenSearch workflows. During incident response, you can now quickly gain context on alerts and log data, leading to faster analysis and resolution times. When alert monitors trigger, Amazon Q Developer provides summaries and insights directly in the alerts interface, helping you understand the situation quickly without waiting for specialists or consulting documentation. From there, you can use Amazon Q Developer to explore the underlying data, build visualizations using natural language, and identify patterns to determine root causes. For example, you can create visualizations that break down errors by dimensions such as Region, data center, or endpoint. Additionally, Amazon Q Developer assists with dashboard configuration and recommends anomaly detectors for proactive alerting, improving both initial monitoring setup and troubleshooting efficiency.
Get started with Amazon Q Developer in OpenSearch Service
To get started, I go to my OpenSearch user interface and sign in. From the home page, I choose a workspace to test Amazon Q Developer in OpenSearch Service. For this demonstration, I use a preconfigured environment with the sample logs dataset available on the user interface.
This feature is on by default through the Amazon Q Developer Free tier, which is also on by default. You can disable the feature by unselecting the Enable natural language query generation checkbox under the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) section during domain creation or by editing the cluster configuration in console.
In OpenSearch Dashboards, I navigate to Discover from the left navigation pane. To use natural language to explore the data, I switch to PPL language in order to show the prompt box.
I choose the Amazon Q icon in the main navigation bar to open the Amazon Q panel. You can use this panel to create recommended anomaly detectors to drive alerting and use natural language to generate visualization.
I enter the following prompt in the Ask a natural language question text box:
Show me a breakdown of HTTP response codes for the last 24 hours
When results appear, Amazon Q automatically generates a summary of these results. You can control the summary display using the Show result summarization option under the Amazon Q panel to hide or show the summary. You can use the thumbs up or thumbs down buttons to provide feedback, and you can copy the summary to your clipboard using the copy button.
Other capabilities of Amazon Q Developer in OpenSearch Service are generating visualizations directly from natural language descriptions, providing conversational assistance for OpenSearch related queries, providing AI-generated summaries and insights for your OpenSearch alerts, and analyzing your data, and suggesting appropriate anomaly detectors.
Let’s look into how to generate visualizations directly from natural language descriptions. I choose Generate visualization from Amazon Q panel. I enter Create a bar chart showing the number of requests by HTTP status code in the input field and choose generate.
To refine the visualization, you can choose Edit visual and add style instructions such as Show me a pie chart or Use a light gray background with a white grid.
Now available
You can now use Amazon Q Developer in OpenSearch Service to reduce mean time to resolution, enable more self-service troubleshooting, and help teams extract greater value from your observability data.
The service is available today in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), and South America (São Paulo) AWS Regions.

Amazon API Gateway now supports dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) endpoints
Today, we are launching IPv6 support for Amazon API Gateway across all endpoint types, custom domains, and management APIs, in all commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can now configure REST, HTTP, and WebSocket APIs, and custom domains, to accept calls from IPv6 clients alongside the existing IPv4 support. You can also call API Gateway management APIs from dual-stack (IPv6 and IPv4) clients. As organizations globally confront growing IPv4 address scarcity and increasing costs, implementing IPv6 becomes critical for future-proofing network infrastructure. This dual-stack approach helps organizations maintain future network compatibility and expand global reach. To learn more about dualstack in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment, see the IPv6 on AWS Documentation.
Creating new dual-stack resources
This post focuses on two ways to create an API or a domain name with a dualstack IP address type: AWS Management Console and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK).
AWS Console
When creating a new API or domain name in the console, select IPv4 only or dualstack (IPv4 and IPv6) for the IP address type.
As shown in the following image, you can select the dualstack option when creating a new REST API.
For custom domain names, you can similarly configure dualstack as shown in the next image.
If you need to revert to IPv4-only for any reason, you can modify the IP address type setting, with no need to redeploy your API for the update to take effect.
REST APIs of all endpoint types (EDGE, REGIONAL and PRIVATE) support dualstack. Private REST APIs only support dualstack configuration.
AWS CDK
With AWS CDK, start by configuring a dual-stack REST API and domain name.
IPv6 Source IP and authorization
When your API begins receiving IPv6 traffic, client source IPs will be in IPv6 format. If you use resource policies, Lambda authorizers, or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies that reference source IP addresses, make sure they’re updated to accommodate IPv6 address formats.
For example, to permit traffic from a specific IPv6 range in a resource policy.
Summary
API Gateway dual-stack support helps manage IPv4 address scarcity and costs, comply with government and industry mandates, and prepare for the future of networking. The dualstack implementation provides a smooth transition path by supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 clients simultaneously.
To get started with API Gateway dual-stack support, visit the Amazon API Gateway documentation. You can configure dualstack for new APIs or update existing APIs with minimal configuration changes.

Accelerating CI with AWS CodeBuild: Parallel test execution now available
I’m excited to announce that AWS CodeBuild now supports parallel test execution, so you can run your test suites concurrently and reduce build times significantly.
With the demo project I wrote for this post, the total test time went down from 35 minutes to six minutes, including the time to provision the environments. These two screenshots from the AWS Management Console show the difference.
Sequential execution of the test suite
Parallel execution of the test suite
Very long test times pose a significant challenge when running continuous integration (CI) at scale. As projects grow in complexity and team size, the time required to execute comprehensive test suites can increase dramatically, leading to extended pipeline execution times. This not only delays the delivery of new features and bug fixes, but also hampers developer productivity by forcing them to wait for build results before proceeding with their tasks. I have experienced pipelines that took up to 60 minutes to run, only to fail at the last step, requiring a complete rerun and further delays. These lengthy cycles can erode developer trust in the CI process, contribute to frustration, and ultimately slow down the entire software delivery cycle. Moreover, long-running tests can lead to resource contention, increased costs because of wasted computing power, and reduced overall efficiency of the development process.
With parallel test execution in CodeBuild, you can now run your tests concurrently across multiple build compute environments. This feature implements a sharding approach where each build node independently executes a subset of your test suite. CodeBuild provides environment variables that identify the current node number and the total number of nodes, which are used to determine which tests each node should run. There is no control build node or coordination between nodes at build time—each node operates independently to execute its assigned portion of your tests.
To enable test splitting, configure the batch fanout section in your buildspec.xml, specifying the desired parallelism level and other relevant parameters. Additionally, use the codebuild-tests-run utility in your build step, along with the appropriate test commands and the chosen splitting method.
The tests are split based on the sharding strategy you specify. codebuild-tests-run offers two sharding strategies:
- Equal-distribution. This strategy sorts test files alphabetically and distributes them in chunks equally across parallel test environments. Changes in the names or quantity of test files might reassign files across shards.
- Stability. This strategy fixes the distribution of tests across shards by using a consistent hashing algorithm. It maintains existing file-to-shard assignments when new files are added or removed.
CodeBuild supports automatic merging of test reports when running tests in parallel. With automatic test report merging, CodeBuild consolidates tests reports into a single test summary, simplifying result analysis. The merged report includes aggregated pass/fail statuses, test durations, and failure details, reducing the need for manual report processing. You can view the merged results in the CodeBuild console, retrieve them using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or integrate them with other reporting tools to streamline test analysis.
Let’s look at how it works
Let me demonstrate how to implement parallel testing in a project. For this demo, I created a very basic Python project with hundreds of tests. To speed things up, I asked Amazon Q Developer on the command line to create a project and 1,800 test cases. Each test case is in a separate file and takes one second to complete. Running all tests in a sequence requires 30 minutes, excluding the time to provision the environment.
In this demo, I run the test suite on ten compute environments in parallel and measure how long it takes to run the suite.
To do so, I added a buildspec.yml file to my project.
version: 0.2
batch:
fast-fail: false
build-fanout:
parallelism: 10 # ten runtime environments
ignore-failure: false
phases:
install:
commands:
- echo 'Installing Python dependencies'
- dnf install -y python3 python3-pip
- pip3 install --upgrade pip
- pip3 install pytest
build:
commands:
- echo 'Running Python Tests'
- |
codebuild-tests-run \
--test-command 'python -m pytest --junitxml=report/test_report.xml' \
--files-search "codebuild-glob-search 'tests/test_*.py'" \
--sharding-strategy 'equal-distribution'
post_build:
commands:
- echo "Test execution completed"
reports:
pytest_reports:
files:
- "*.xml"
base-directory: "report"
file-format: JUNITXML There are three parts to highlight in the YAML file.
First, there’s a build-fanout section under batch. The parallelism command tells CodeBuild how many test environments to run in parallel. The ignore-failure command indicates if failure in any of the fanout build tasks can be ignored.
Second, I use the pre-installed codebuild-tests-run command to run my tests.
This command receives the complete list of test files and decides which of the tests must be run on the current node.
- Use the
sharding-strategyargument to choose between equally distributed or stable distribution, as I explained earlier. - Use the
files-searchargument to pass all the files that are candidates for a run. We recommend to use the providedcodebuild-glob-searchcommand for performance reasons, but any file search tool, such as find(1), will work. - I pass the actual test command to run on the shard with the
test-commandargument.
Lastly, the reports section instructs CodeBuild to collect and merge the test reports on each node.
Then, I open the CodeBuild console to create a project and a batch build configuration for this project. There’s nothing new here, so I’ll spare you the details. The documentation has all the details to get you started. Parallel testing works on batch builds. Make sure to configure your project to run in batch.
Now, I’m ready to trigger an execution of the test suite. I can commit new code on my GitHub repository or trigger the build in the console.
After a few minutes, I see a status report of the different steps of the build; with a status for each test environment or shard.
When the test is complete, I select the Reports tab to access the merged test reports.
The Reports section aggregates all test data from all shards and keeps the history for all builds. I select my most recent build in the Report history section to access the detailed report.
As expected, I can see the aggregated and the individual status for each of my 1,800 test cases. In this demo, they’re all passing, and the report is green.
The 1,800 tests of the demo project take one second each to complete. When I run this test suite sequentially, it took 35 minutes to complete. When I run the test suite in parallel on ten compute environments, it took six minutes to complete, including the time to provision the environments. The parallel run took 17.9 percent of the time of the sequential run. Actual numbers will vary with your projects.
Additional things to know
This new capability is compatible with all testing frameworks. The documentation includes examples for Django, Elixir, Go, Java (Maven), Javascript (Jest), Kotlin, PHPUnit, Pytest, Ruby (Cucumber), and Ruby (RSpec).
For test frameworks that don’t accept space-separated lists, the codebuild-tests-run CLI provides a flexible alternative through the CODEBUILD_CURRENT_SHARD_FILES environment variable. This variable contains a newline-separated list of test file paths for the current build shard. You can use it to adapt to different test framework requirements and format test file names.
You can further customize how tests are split across environments by writing your own sharding script and using the CODEBUILD_BATCH_BUILD_IDENTIFIER environment variable, which is automatically set in each build. You can use this technique to implement framework-specific parallelization or optimization.
Pricing and availability
With parallel test execution, you can now complete your test suites in a fraction of the time previously required, accelerating your development cycle and improving your team’s productivity.
Parallel test execution is available on all three compute modes offered by CodeBuild: on-demand, reserved capacity, and AWS Lambda compute.
This capability is available today in all AWS Regions where CodeBuild is offered, with no additional cost beyond the standard CodeBuild pricing for the compute resources used.
I invite you to try parallel test execution in CodeBuild today. Visit the AWS CodeBuild documentation to learn more and get started with parallelizing your tests.
— sebPS: Here’s the prompt I used to create the demo application and its test suite: “I’m writing a blog post to announce codebuild parallel testing. Write a very simple python app that has hundreds of tests, each test in a separate test file. Each test takes one second to complete.”

Firewall support for AWS Amplify hosted sites
Today, we’re announcing the general availability of the AWS WAF integration with AWS Amplify Hosting.
Web application owners are constantly working to protect their applications from a variety of threats. Previously, if you wanted to implement a robust security posture for your Amplify Hosted applications, you needed to create architectures using Amazon CloudFront distributions with AWS WAF protection, which required additional configuration steps, expertise, and management overhead.
With the general availability of AWS WAF in Amplify Hosting, you can now directly attach a web application firewall to your AWS Amplify apps through a one-click integration in the Amplify console or using infrastructure as code (IaC). This integration gives you access to the full range of AWS WAF capabilities including managed rules, which provide protection against common web exploits and vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). You can also create your own custom rules based on your specific application needs.
This new capability helps you implement defense-in-depth security strategies for your web applications. You can take advantage of AWS WAF rate-based rules to protect against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by limiting the rate of requests from IP addresses. Additionally, you can implement geo-blocking to restrict access to your applications from specific countries, which is particularly valuable if your service is designed for specific geographic regions.
Let’s see how it works
Setting up AWS WAF protection for your Amplify app is straightforward. From the Amplify console, navigate to your app settings, select the Firewall tab, and choose the predefined rules you want to apply to your configuration. 
Amplify hosting simplifies configuring firewall rules. You can activate four categories of protection.
- Amplify-recommended firewall protection – Protect against the most common vulnerabilities found in web applications, block IP addresses from potential threats based on Amazon internal threat intelligence, and protect against malicious actors discovering application vulnerabilities.
- Restrict access to amplifyapp.com – Restrict access to the default Amplify generated amplifyapp.com domain. This is useful when you add a custom domain to prevent bots and search engines from crawling the domain.
- Enable IP address protection – Restrict web traffic by allowing or blocking requests from specified IP address ranges.
- Enable country protection – Restrict access based on specific countries.
Protections enabled through the Amplify console will create an underlying web access control list (ACL) in your AWS account. For fine-grained rulesets, you can use the AWS WAF console rule builder.
After a few minutes, the rules are associated to your app and AWS WAF blocks suspicious requests.
If you want to see AWS WAF in action, you can simulate an attack and monitor it using the AWS WAF request inspection capabilities. For example, you can send a request with an empty User-Agent value. It will trigger a blocking rule in AWS WAF.
Let’s first send a valid request to my app.
curl -v -H "User-Agent: MyUserAgent" https://main.d3sk5bt8rx6f9y.amplifyapp.com/
* Host main.d3sk5bt8rx6f9y.amplifyapp.com:443 was resolved.
...(redacted for brevity)...
> GET / HTTP/2
> Host: main.d3sk5bt8rx6f9y.amplifyapp.com
> Accept: */*
> User-Agent: MyUserAgent
>
* Request completely sent off
< HTTP/2 200
< content-type: text/html
< content-length: 0
< date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:45:26 GMT
We can observe that the server returned an HTTP 200 (OK) message.
Then, send a request with no value associated to the User-Agent HTTP header.
curl -v -H "User-Agent: " https://main.d3sk5bt8rx6f9y.amplifyapp.com/
* Host main.d3sk5bt8rx6f9y.amplifyapp.com:443 was resolved.
... (redacted for brevity) ...
> GET / HTTP/2
> Host: main.d3sk5bt8rx6f9y.amplifyapp.com
> Accept: */*
>
* Request completely sent off
< HTTP/2 403
< server: CloudFront
... (redacted for brevity) ...
<TITLE>ERROR: The request could not be satisfied</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>403 ERROR</H1>
<H2>The request could not be satisfied.</H2>We can observe that the server returned an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) message.
AWS WAF provide visibility into request patterns, helping you fine-tune your security settings over time. You can access logs through Amplify Hosting or the AWS WAF console to analyze traffic trends and refine security rules as needed.
Availability and pricing
Firewall support is available in all AWS Regions in which Amplify Hosting operates. This integration falls under an AWS WAF global resource, similar to Amazon CloudFront. Web ACLs can be attached to multiple Amplify Hosting apps, but they must reside in the same Region.
The pricing for this integration follows the standard AWS WAF pricing model, You pay for the AWS WAF resources you use based on the number of web ACLs, rules, and requests. On top of that, AWS Amplify Hosting adds $15/month when you attach a web application firewall to your application. This is prorated by the hour.
This new capability brings enterprise-grade security features to all Amplify Hosting customers, from individual developers to large enterprises. You can now build, host, and protect your web applications within the same service, reducing the complexity of your architecture and streamlining your security management.
To learn more, visit the AWS WAF integration documentation for Amplify or try it directly in the Amplify console.

Detailed geographic information for all AWS Regions and Availability Zones is now available
Starting today, you can get more granular visibility of geographic location information for AWS Regions and AWS Availability Zones (AZs). This detailed information will help you choose the Regions and AZs that align with your regulatory, compliance, and operational requirements.
We continue to expand the AWS global infrastructure to meet your business requirements and now have 114 AZs across 36 Regions. We have announced plans to add 12 more AZs and four Regions in New Zealand, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
One of the things we’ve learned from our customers is the need to have more visibility into the specific location of infrastructure within an AWS Region. This is important for customers in highly regulated industries such as the financial industry or gaming, where there are specific requirements for the physical placement of infrastructure. For example, FanDuel, a leading sports gaming company based in the U.S., is scaling into new markets across the U.S. and Canada. They are taking advantage of the improved geographic transparency to make more informed decisions and ensure they’re meeting data residency requirements as they scale their business quickly.
Geographies for AWS Regions
To find the geographic information for your Region, you can visit the AWS Global Infrastructure Regions and Availability Zones page. Once you navigate to this page, you can choose any tab on the map and scroll to the bottom to review the geographic information for each Region. See the following image for an example showing the North America Regions. As would be expected, the infrastructure for the US West (Oregon) Region is located in the United States of America, and the Canada (Central) Region is located in Canada.
Geographies for Availability Zones
To find the specific geographic information for an AZ, you can visit the AWS Regions and Availability Zones page in AWS Documentation. Choose the Region you’re interested in and you’ll find a table showing you the geography for that Region. As you see in the following screenshot, the infrastructure of the AZ with AZ ID use1-az1 is located in Virginia, United States of America.
Stay tuned
We will update these pages to reflect new geographic information as we continue to grow our AWS Global infrastructure footprint and add more AWS Regions and AZs.
Quick links
To learn more, visit the AWS Global Infrastructure Regions and Availability Zones page or AWS Regions and Availability Zones in AWS Documentation, and send feedback to AWS re:Post or through your usual AWS Support contacts.

AWS Weekly Roundup: Omdia recognition, Amazon Bedrock RAG evaluation, International Women’s Day events, and more (March 24, 2025)
As we celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) this March, I had the privilege of attending the ‘Women in Tech’ User Group meetup in Shenzhen last weekend. I was inspired to see over 100 women in tech from different industries come together to discuss AI ethics from a female perspective. Together, we explored strategies such as reducing gender bias in AI systems and promoting diverse representation in model training data. In the AWS Cloud Lab, participants used Amazon Bedrock with large language models (LLMs) to generate rose bloom videos, which was the most popular part of this meetup.
These gatherings are crucial to our efforts to engage more women in AI technology exploration and development, and to help make sure that the generative AI era evolves without gender bias. The collaborative spirit and technical curiosity displayed throughout the event is further proof that diverse teams truly build inclusive and effective solutions.
Speaking of vibrant community engagement, I also had the honor of presenting at Kubernetes Community Day (KCD) Beijing 2025 this weekend. The enthusiasm 
for container technologies was remarkable, with nearly 300 developers gathering to share experiences and best practices. During my keynote introducing the DoEKS project from Amazon Web Services (AWS), I was struck by the depth of interest in managed Kubernetes services. The audience’s questions revealed how widely adopted services such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) have become among Chinese developers building mission-critical applications.This strong community interest aligns perfectly with findings from the Omdia Universe: Cloud Container Management & Services 2024–25 report. In this comprehensive evaluation of container management solutions hosted on public clouds, AWS was recognized as a Leader. The report specifically highlights that AWS offers “widest range of options for working with Kubernetes or its own container management service, across cloud, edge, and on-premises environments.” You can read the full report about AWS offerings to learn more about our comprehensive container portfolio and how we’re helping builders deploy scalable, reliable containerized applications.
