Amazon WorkSpaces Applications improves multi-session fleet management Amazon WorkSpaces Applications now enables instances in multi-session fleets to stop accepting new user sessions, while allowing existing sessions to continue uninterrupted. This capability, known as drain mode, ensures seamless operations during maintenance, scaling, or system updates. Multi-session fleets allow hosting multiple end user sessions on a single instance, helping to maximize usage of the underlying infrastructure - including compute, memory and storage resources - and lowering the overall cost. This new drain mode capability helps administrators manage multi-session environments more seamlessly by preventing disruption to active users. When performing system maintenance, applying security patches, or scaling down resources, administrators can configure instances to gradually empty without abruptly terminating user sessions. This ensures users can complete their work smoothly while new connections are directed to other available instances, maintaining system stability and improving the overall end-user experience. This new feature is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Applications is available. Amazon WorkSpaces Applications offers pay-as-you-go pricing. For more information, see Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Pricing. To get started with WorkSpaces Applications, see WorkSpaces applications: Getting started.

🆕 Amazon WorkSpaces Applications introduces drain mode for multi-session fleets, allowing instances to stop new sessions while keeping existing ones running, ensuring smooth maintenance and updates without user disruption, available at no extra cost.

AWS VPC Encryption Controls now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions AWS launches VPC Encryption Controls in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions to make it easy to audit and enforce encryption in transit within and across Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPC), and demonstrate compliance with encryption standards. You can turn it on your existing VPCs to monitor encryption status of traffic flows and identify VPC resources that are unintentionally allowing plaintext traffic. This feature also makes it easy to enforce encryption across different network paths by automatically (and transparently) turning on hardware-based AES-256 encryption on traffic between multiple VPC resources including AWS Fargate, Network Load Balancers, and Application Load Balancers. To meet stringent compliance standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, and FIPS 140-2, government customers rely on both application layer encryption and the hardware-based encryption that AWS offers across different network paths. AWS provides hardware-based AES-256 encryption transparently between modern EC2 Nitro instances. AWS also encrypts all network traffic between AWS data centers in and across Availability Zones, and AWS Regions before the traffic leaves our secure facilities. All inter-region traffic that uses VPC Peering, Transit Gateway Peering, or AWS Cloud WAN receives an additional layer of transparent encryption before leaving AWS data centers. Prior to this release, customers had to track and confirm encryption across all network paths. With VPC Encryption Controls, customers can now monitor, enforce and demonstrate encryption within and across Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) in just a few clicks. Your information security team can turn it on centrally to maintain a secure and compliant environment, and generate audit logs for compliance and reporting. With this launch, VPC Encryption Controls is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. To learn more about this feature and its use cases, please see our documentation.

🆕 AWS introduces VPC Encryption Controls in AWS GovCloud (US) to streamline encryption auditing and compliance, offering automatic AES-256 for traffic and audit logs. Available in US-East and US-West.

Amazon Inspector expands agentless EC2 scanning and introduces Windows KB-based findings Amazon Inspector now offers expanded agentless EC2 scanning with enhanced detection coverage, including new support for Windows operating system vulnerability scanning without requiring an agent. Security teams and IT administrators can now detect vulnerabilities across a broader range of software and applications on their EC2 instances — including WordPress, Apache HTTP Server, Python packages, and Ruby gems — as well as Windows OS vulnerabilities, all through agentless scanning. Customers automatically receive findings for newly supported software and applications with no configuration changes required. Amazon Inspector is also introducing Windows Knowledge Base (KB)-based findings for Windows OS vulnerabilities. Rather than receiving a separate finding for each CVE addressed by a single Microsoft patch, customers now receive a single consolidated KB finding that groups all related CVEs together. Each KB finding surfaces the highest CVSS score, EPSS score, and exploit availability from its constituent CVEs, and includes a direct link to the relevant Microsoft KB article — making it straightforward to understand exactly which patch to apply and why. All existing CVE-based Windows OS findings will automatically transition to KB-based findings. All existing CVE-based Windows OS findings will automatically transition to KB-based findings, and customers do not need to take any additional action. Both capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Inspector is available. To learn more, visit the Amazon Inspector product page and the Amazon Inspector documentation.

🆕 Amazon Inspector now scans Windows EC2 for OS vulnerabilities without agents, consolidating KB-based findings to boost detection and simplify vulnerability management across diverse software.
