  2. Introducing AWS Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls

    Amazon Web Services today announced the general availability of AWS Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls, a fully managed, serverless, hyper-durable object persistence layer designed specifically for the unique storage needs of people who could have just sent an email.

    AWS Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls integrates seamlessly with 47... we mean, a large number of other AWS services, including Amazon Chime, which Amazon would also like to remind you exists.

    When asked why the service requires Zoom to be mentioned directly in the product name, an AWS spokesperson explained that the team went through 34 other names, including AWS Persistent Meeting Artifact Lifecycle Manager and Amazon Collaborative Synchronous Video Session Object Durability Hub, before someone suggested they just say what it does.

    Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls is available in 19 regions and is priced at a rate that will require you to contact your AWS account representative, who will also try to sell you on Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls Enterprise, which is the same thing but the button is slightly larger.

    A free tier is available for users who agree to name their firstborn child something that can be reasonably abbreviated as an AWS CLI flag.

  3. AI-Powered Pentesting Tools Target AWS Secrets, Cloud Services

    Researchers have spotted malicious actors leveraging AI-powered pentesting tools, specifically AntiFox, to target sensitive AWS secrets and cloud services, with some intrusions linked to Alibaba Cloud systems. This open-source platform is designed to automate penetration testing, making it a double-edged sword in the world of…

  4. Introducing AWS Predictive Federation Crayon

    Amazon Web Services today announced the general availability of AWS Predictive Federation Crayon, a fully managed, serverless, multi-tenant, hyper-distributed crayon prediction service that uses machine learning to determine which color crayon your enterprise will need before you know you need it.

    "We kept hearing from customers that they were spending too much time deciding between Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber," said a Senior Principal Distinguished Engineer at Amazon, who has the word "Crayon" in his actual job title now. "Predictive Federation Crayon solves that, and also integrates with S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, SES, SWF, and seventeen other services you are already paying for but not using."

    Predictive Federation Crayon is priced per crayon prediction, per federation event, per region, and also by the gram in certain edge cases that Amazon cannot currently explain but assures customers are "extremely rare unless they are not."

    The service is available today in us-east-1, with support for additional regions coming "soon," which at AWS means sometime before 2031.

    AWS Predictive Federation Crayon is not related to AWS Crayon, AWS Managed Crayon, Amazon Crayon Hub, or the four internal tools also named Crayon that different teams built independently over the last decade and refuse to consolidate.

  5. Introducing AWS Edge Blueflame, the cloud service that nobody asked for but Amazon built anyway because they needed to use the word "Edge" one more time before the end of the fiscal year.

    Edge Blueflame lets you run compute workloads so close to the end user that AWS engineers describe its latency as "technically still physics." The service pairs seamlessly with AWS Wavelength, AWS Outposts, AWS Local Zones, and seventeen other "edge" products that Amazon assures you are all completely different things.

    When asked what "Blueflame" refers to, an Amazon spokesperson said it was "a metaphor for speed and intensity at the periphery of the network," and then looked at the floor for a long time.

    Edge Blueflame is generally available today in us-east-1 and will reach all other regions sometime before the heat death of the universe, which AWS is also reportedly working on a managed service for.

  6. Introducing AWS Learning Furnace, the only cloud service named specifically to make your IT manager uncomfortable when explaining the quarterly budget to the CFO.

    AWS Learning Furnace (ALF) allows developers to feed their poorly documented legacy code directly into a managed incineration pipeline, where machine learning models study it briefly, feel a deep existential sadness, and then politely suggest you start over.

    Like most AWS services, the free tier covers approximately four minutes of usage before transitioning to a pricing model that requires a separate certification to understand. A companion service, AWS Learning Furnace Insights, is available to help you comprehend your AWS Learning Furnace bill, and is itself billed separately.

    The service is now generally available in us-east-1, with all other regions coming "soon," which is an official AWS unit of time that has no known conversion to the Gregorian calendar.

  7. Hackers Exploit Qubole's AWS Access to Breach Multiple Cloud Environments

    In just seven minutes, a hacker exploited a Qubole AWS account to collect 100 passwords and keys, sparking a rapid-fire breach that exposed tens of cloud environments and put millions of files at risk. The attack, which ran from October 14-26, affected dozens of companies and highlights the devastating potential of compromised credentials.

  9. Introducing Amazon Resilience Snowman, AWS's newest managed service that automatically detects when your infrastructure is melting and does absolutely nothing to stop it, but does send you a very detailed CloudWatch alert about it.

    Like all AWS services, Resilience Snowman started as an internal tool that Jeff Bezos's team used exactly once in 2014, and has since expanded to 47... sorry, a large number of features that engineers describe as "mostly orthogonal to your actual problem."

    Resilience Snowman integrates natively with Amazon Glacier, which engineers noted was "thematically appropriate," and sits comfortably alongside other AWS services whose names also make complete sense, such as Fargate, Lightsail, and the legendary AWS Snowmobile, which is a truck.

    Pricing is calculated per snowflake, billed in six-second increments, with a free tier that covers exactly the amount of usage that is not useful to you.

    Resilience Snowman is now generally available in us-east-1, with other regions coming "later this year," a phrase AWS has been using since 2019 regarding several other things.

  10. Proving an EKS reference platform on a real AWS account cost twenty cents a run. The seven runs before the first pass failed on things mocked Terraform tests and a daily kind suite had passed for weeks: an OIDC subject format, a pull limit, an add-on build, a name past 64 characters.

  12. Hackers Exploit Trusted Qubole IAM Roles to Access AWS Accounts and Download Entire S3 Buckets

    Hackers abused trusted Qubole integrations to enter customer AWS accounts, steal secrets, and download data from Amazon S3, sometimes taking entire buckets in one session. The activity ran from October 14 through October 26, 2026, using IAM credentials from an AWS account associated with Qubole rather than exploiting a software vulnerability. The attackers relied on […] The post Hackers Exploit Trusted Qubole IAM Roles to Access AWS Accounts and Download Entire S3 Buckets appeared first on Cyber Security News .

  14. Introducing Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula

    AWS today announced the general availability of Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula, a fully managed, serverless kitchen intelligence layer that allows developers to flip workloads they did not realize were workloads.

    "We kept noticing that customers had data sitting on the bottom of their pipelines that was getting stuck," said a Vice President of Something at AWS. "With Illuminated Deep Spatula, we can get underneath that and turn it over, at scale."

    The service integrates natively with Amazon Rekognition, AWS Glue, and a product called Amazon Tong, which was announced in 2019 and which nobody has used.

    Pricing is based on the number of flips per second, the depth of the spatula insertion, and whether the workload was previously frozen. Customers in the AWS GovCloud region will have access to a version called Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula Secure Compliant Handled Edition, which is the same thing but costs more.

    Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula is available today in all regions except ap-southeast-3, where something is still happening that AWS has not explained.

  16. On the hunt for ARTEX: understanding agentic attacks in AWS environments

    In October 2026, an AI-native penetration framework called ARTEX was observed conducting attacks against AWS environments, primarily targeting financial data. ARTEX operates through LLM agents that autonomously plan and execute attacks based on operator-defined objectives. Observed activity included exploitation of compromised long-term IAM access keys to search CloudWatch logs for financial information, file paths, and secrets. Additionally, attackers abused public Amazon Cognito user pools through anonymous sign-ups, token collection, and AWS account enumeration. Datadog identified hundreds of internet-exposed ARTEX consoles, often in Mandarin and hosted in Singapore and Hong Kong. The framework has been linked to China-aligned threat actor Storm-0940 and demonstrates sophisticated post-exploitation capabilities including automated resource discovery and credential harvesting across cloud environments.

  17. Trusted by Default: Qubole Cross-Account Access Abused in the Wild

    A threat actor exploited IAM credentials from Qubole's AWS account (805246085872) to assume integration roles in customer environments between October 14 and October 26, 2026. The attacker used two IAM users and multiple VPN addresses to gain access, then conducted extensive reconnaissance across affected AWS accounts. Activities included enumerating storage, databases, and identity resources, harvesting credentials from Lambda environment variables, Secrets Manager, and SSM Parameter Store, and validating discovered credentials using TruffleHog. The actor exfiltrated data from S3 buckets opportunistically, downloading whatever each assumed role could access. A suspicious bootable Linux ISO image was also identified, designed for remote deployment and system reconnaissance. The campaign appears opportunistic rather than state-sponsored, exploiting trusted cross-account relationships that remained active despite many integrations being unused.

  18. That's not a comeback story, folks. That's a knockout in the first round, and the audience paid for a twelve-rounder.

    Corner crew, check your Qubole account access logs and AWS IAM configurations right now for any unauthorized activity before the next bell rings.

  19. Introducing Amazon Aqua Tornado

    AWS today announced the general availability of Amazon Aqua Tornado, a fully managed, serverless, multi-tenant, cross-regional precipitation orchestration service that spins up water in the cloud.

    Amazon Aqua Tornado builds on the foundational work of Amazon Macie, Amazon Glacier, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon Nimbus (discontinued 2019, never explained), continuing AWS's proud tradition of naming enterprise software after weather phenomena and bodies of water until they run out of both.

    With Amazon Aqua Tornado, customers can finally achieve what AWS describes as "fluid compute convergence," which the documentation defines across 847 pages without once clarifying what that means. Engineers familiar with AWS Step Functions will feel right at home.

    The service is available in us-east-1 and will reach other regions "in the coming months," which AWS defines as anywhere between six weeks and the heat death of the universe.

    Pricing is calculated per vortex-hour, with an additional charge for data transferred out of the funnel. A free tier is available, offering enough Aqua Tornado to run a proof of concept that your manager will immediately ask you to scale to production.

    Amazon Aqua Tornado is SOC 2 compliant, HIPAA eligible, and, per the press release, "deeply integrated with Amazon S3."

  21. Introducing Amazon Machine Cyclone, or AMC, which AWS leadership assures us is a completely different product from the seventeen other AWS services that do roughly the same thing but were named during different re:Invent conferences by different VPs who did not speak to each other.

    Amazon Machine Cyclone joins the proud family of AWS compute services including EC2, ECS, EKS, ECR, EMR, EKS Anywhere, ECS Anywhere, EC2 Anywhere, and whatever they announced last Thursday that everyone has already forgotten about.

    Machine Cyclone, according to the press release, "enables customers to orchestrate cyclical machine workloads in a fully managed, serverless, containerized, edge-native, AI-augmented environment," which our team read four times and remains cautiously optimistic about.

    The service is available now in us-east-1, with other regions coming "soon," a word that AWS defines internally as anywhere between two weeks and the second term of a future presidential administration.

    Pricing is calculated per Cyclone Rotation Unit, or CRU, billed in increments of 100 milliseconds, and your bill will be completely predictable once you complete the associated AWS Certification, which is a separate charge.

  22. Qubole AWS Breach Exposes Customer Data Theft Via Trusted Access

    A recent Qubole AWS breach exposed a vulnerability in trusted access, allowing an attacker to steal sensitive data from multiple customer accounts between October 14 and 26. The intruder exploited Qubole's own AWS credentials to gain unauthorized access to customer environments.
