Start by configuring your domain in the WorkSpaces Secure Browser console.

Kickstart via the AWS Console, ECS MCP Server, or your preferred IaC tool. Costs include management fees plus regular EC2 charges. For more, check the feature page, docs, and AWS News.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports browser profiles
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now lets you save your logins with browser profiles, cutting down login time from minutes to seconds.

Available in 14 AWS regions, this feature speeds up automated tasks on authenticated sites.
AWS Config now supports 30 new resource types
AWS Config has expanded its reach by adding 30 new resource types from services like Amazon EKS, Amazon Q, and AWS IoT, enhancing your ability to oversee, audit, and fix a wider array of resources across your AWS environment. With recording enabled, these new additions are automatically tracked, and they're also usable in Config rules and aggregators. Now, you can monitor these newly supported resource types in all applicable AWS Regions.
Amazon Connect Cases now supports CSV uploads to map related field options
Amazon Connect Cases now lets you use a CSV file to set up dynamic field options, simplifying complex case templates. No more manual option setups; just upload a file to define relationships at scale, cutting down on setup time. Available in multiple AWS regions, learn more on the Amazon Connect Cases page.
AWS Network Firewall announces new price reductions
AWS Network Firewall has rolled out two cost-saving tweaks: hourly and data processing discounts for NAT Gateways linked with secondary endpoints, and the elimination of extra fees for Advanced Inspection's TLS checks. Previously, NAT Gateway discounts were exclusive to primary endpoints, and Advanced Inspection carried extra charges in 13 regions. Now, discounts apply to both primary and secondary endpoints, and Advanced Inspection is fee-free in those regions. These changes ease the cost burden for setups using multiple VPC endpoints and TLS inspection, all across AWS regions without extra customer effort. For more details, check AWS Network Firewall pricing and docs.
