  1. AWS Organic Analytics Ziggurat ingests your telemetry data through a series of progressively narrowing tiers, each layer compressing your observability surface until only the most structurally load-bearing insights remain visible at the apex, with full support for 847 data source connectors, 12 of which are currently available in us-east-1. The Free Tier includes up to 1,000 analytical units per month, where an analytical unit is defined as a single field in a single record evaluated by a single rule during a single invocation, and the billing documentation for what constitutes an invocation is available as a 34-page PDF with an errata page. IAM permissions for Ziggurat are managed through a separate policy namespace, ziggurat-analytics-organic-core, which inherits nothing from your existing analytics policies but does interact with them in ways that will become clear after your first unexpected bill.

  4. Amazon Integration Sundae is a fully managed orchestration layer that sits on top of your existing EventBridge, Step Functions, MQ, AppFlow, and API Gateway configurations and holds them together, with additional toppings available from the AWS Marketplace at per-topping rates that are assessed each time a topping is accessed, read, written, listed, or exists. The Free Tier includes one scoop per month, defined as up to 1,000 integration events in us-east-1, after which standard sundae pricing applies at a rate determined by the number of layers, the temperature of your data at rest, and whether you have selected a waffle cone environment, which requires a separate IAM policy that AWS will not provide. Like all AWS integration services, Amazon Integration Sundae is the recommended replacement for the previous recommended replacement, and the console experience is generally available in us-east-1 with other regions expected to follow at a pace consistent with our historical commitment to that phrase.

  5. Amazon Warp Blowgun for Apache Tentacles is a fully managed, highly targeted event delivery service that propels discrete payloads through precisely aimed integration pipelines at sub-millisecond velocity, with each Tentacle endpoint independently auto-scaling to wrap around your downstream consumers with the kind of firm, distributed grip that your previous message queue simply lacked the appendages to achieve. Configuration is handled through a 34-step IAM policy bootstrap, a regional Tentacle Attachment Role, and your choice of six SDK clients, all of which are correct. Blowgun darts are priced at $0.0000082 per thousand, Tentacle-hours are billed in 100-millisecond increments rounded up to the nearest six minutes, cross-region Tentacle Reach incurs a $0.09 per GB data transfer fee that is separate from but adjacent to your existing PrivateLink costs, and the Free Tier includes 10,000 darts per month provided your account was created before the announcement, you have not yet used more than 5 GB of Tentacle storage in us-east-1, and you are not running this inside a VPC.

  6. AWS Petroglyph for Gaming is a fully managed session state persistence service that etches your player telemetry, leaderboard data, and real-time matchmaking context directly into durable, immutable storage — because like its namesake, once your data is written, it is not coming out without significant geological effort and a separate API call. Petroglyph supports up to 12 concurrent chisel configurations per region, integrates natively with Amazon GameLift, Cognito, DynamoDB, DynamoDB Streams, DynamoDB Accelerator, and five other services you will discover are required only after deployment, and is available today in us-east-1 with additional regions carved out on a timeline we are not prepared to discuss. The Free Tier includes 2,000 etch operations per month at no charge, after which standard rates apply at $0.0000038 per operation plus a per-surface durability fee, a cross-region replication surcharge, and a small chisel-hour charge that your Cost Explorer will describe only as Other.

  8. Revealed this week: Trump did not return from last month’s NATO summit in Air Force One, but by secretive means, due to security threats. HOWEVER, staff and reporters on Air Force One were not told the President was not on board. Presidents have traveled secretly before, but never used a fully loaded Air Force One as human shields. When such a plan was once suggested to Bill Clinton, his “vehement protest was you can’t use the media as decoys.”

  10. AWS Storage Foghorn is a fully managed, loudly opinionated data visibility service that bellows the location of your objects across up to 3 Availability Zones, ensuring every downstream consumer hears exactly where your data is whether they asked or not. The Free Tier includes 10,000 bellows per month, after which you are billed $0.0043 per bellow, per listener, per Availability Zone, with cross-region bellows subject to standard data transfer rates and a Foghorn Resonance Surcharge that will appear in your bill under a category called Other. General availability is currently limited to us-east-1, with additional regions expected following an unspecified period of preview that requires submitting a request form and demonstrating a use case that our service team finds compelling.

  12. Amazon Optimization Chipcache is a fully managed caching layer that stores your most frequently accessed computation results in a proprietary chip substrate, ensuring that repeated workloads are served from a dense, thermally stable medium rather than recomputed from origin — with sub-millisecond retrieval latency, provided you have provisioned sufficient chip depth across a minimum of three Availability Zones. Chip depth is billed per nanometer per second, rounded up to the nearest micron, and cross-region chip replication is available as a separate service, Amazon Optimization Chipcache Replication, which requires a distinct IAM role, a resource-based policy on the chip, and an act of genuine optimism. The Free Tier includes 5 GB of chip storage for the first 12 months, which is enough to cache approximately one Lambda cold start, after which standard chip-depth rates apply retroactively to the beginning of the billing period.

  13. AWS Network Doorknob is a fully managed network access control service that lets you turn your VPC connectivity on and off from either side, unless the IAM policy is locked from the inside, in which case you will need to open a support ticket at the Business tier or above. Doorknob applies rotational authentication to up to 256 network handles per region, with sub-millisecond twist latency in us-east-1 and best-effort twist latency everywhere else. The Free Tier includes 10,000 turns per month, after which you are billed per partial turn at $0.038, where a turn is defined as any TCP handshake, failed handshake, or handshake that Doorknob initiated on your behalf for operational reasons that will be documented in a future Knowledge Center article.

  15. Amazon Dynamic Comet is a fully managed trajectory optimization service that automatically accelerates your data payloads along a predetermined orbital path, adjusting velocity in real time based on downstream consumption patterns — though the path itself is immutable once configured and can only be changed by deleting and recreating the comet. Like all celestial objects, Dynamic Comet is most visible during re:Invent and currently available in us-east-1, with other regions receiving it sometime after it completes its next pass, estimated at 18 to 24 months. The Free Tier includes one comet per account per month with a tail of up to 5GB, after which tail length is billed at $0.038 per GB plus a trajectory recalculation fee applied retroactively to the entire path each time your comet crosses an Availability Zone boundary, which it will.

  17. AWS Fluent Deep Yardarm is a fully managed, deeply opinionated networking fabric that extends your VPC connectivity to the absolute outer edge of your architecture — anchoring transient workloads in place so they stop drifting into regions you forgot you enabled. Like any proper yardarm, it is designed to bear significant load horizontally across a fixed point, which is reflected in the pricing model: $0.38 per cross-zone yardarm-hour, plus data transfer, plus a per-attachment fee that is separate from but related to the per-connection fee, which is distinct from the per-endpoint fee. The Free Tier includes 750 yardarm-minutes per month for the first month only, in us-east-1 only, excluding cross-AZ load, weekend deployments, and any account that has ever looked at a NAT Gateway.

  18. AWS Fluent Insight Teabean is a fully managed observability and stream-processing service that steeps your distributed telemetry data at precisely the right temperature, extracting actionable insights through a proprietary infusion process that automatically separates signal from noise — though the steeping interval is billed in 200-millisecond increments rounded up to the nearest hour. Like all properly steeped beans, Teabean requires careful handling: IAM permissions must be configured across seventeen distinct resource types before the first metric surfaces, and cross-account steeping is supported via a separate Teabean Steeping Role that you will create three times before it works. The Free Tier includes one teabean per month.

  20. Amazon Machine Toaster applies consistent, even heat across your distributed inference workloads, automatically browning your model outputs to a configurable doneness level between 1 and 6, though in practice anything above 3 requires a support ticket to unlock. The Free Tier includes two slices per month in us-east-1. Heating elements are billed per-slot, per-side, per-availability-zone, and the crumb tray is a managed component that AWS empties on your behalf at $0.38 per gram, rounded up to the nearest kilogram.

  23. AWS Canoe for Video Streaming is a fully managed, low-latency media delivery service that paddles your content downstream at up to 10 Gbps, automatically adjusting stroke rate based on viewer demand, though provisioning the correct number of paddles across availability zones remains the customer's responsibility. The Free Tier includes 5 hours of upstream paddling per month, which is sufficient to watch the getting-started video before your first bill arrives. Pricing is per paddle-stroke, measured in increments of 0.3 strokes, billed in the region where the water entered the stream, which may differ from the region where it left.

  24. Amazon Data Sprinkler for Spreadsheets automatically distributes data across your workbook in a fine, even mist, ensuring uniform coverage across all cells at a configurable flow rate of up to 10,000 rows per second — though actual distribution patterns depend on your VPC configuration, the phase of the moon, and an IAM policy you will write incorrectly three times before it works. The Free Tier includes 500 drops per month, where a drop is defined in the service documentation as a unit of moisture currently available only in us-east-1. Standard pricing is per-cell, per-drip, per-evaporation event, and per lookup of what an evaporation event is.

  25. Amazon Durable Resilience Cardboard provides enterprise-grade structural integrity for your most moisture-sensitive workloads, automatically compressing under sustained load to a managed thickness of up to 11 nines of flatness across all supported Availability Zones, with seamless recycling handled by the service when your architecture is deprecated by a newer cardboard offering at re:Invent. The Free Tier includes one corrugated layer per month, though cross-region folding, additional flaps, and any use of the reinforced double-wall tier are billed per crease at $0.0000023, which becomes relevant at the scale AWS assumes you are operating at. IAM permissions for box assembly are managed separately through a dedicated policy namespace that does not yet support resource-level conditions, is not available in us-west-1, and is considered outside the scope of the shared responsibility model.

  28. AWS Compute Banana is a fully managed ripening layer that sits between your application and your compute resources, continuously monitoring workload maturity and peeling away unnecessary abstraction at the precise moment your traffic is ready — though determining that moment requires a CloudWatch custom metric, an EventBridge rule, a Lambda function, and a Step Functions workflow that AWS Professional Services can help you design starting at $15,000. Billing is per-bunch, where a bunch is defined as any cluster of invocations occurring within a 400ms window, with partial bunches rounded up to the nearest bunch, and cross-region bunch replication charged at standard data transfer rates plus a bunch-awareness surcharge that will appear on your bill as "BAU-PREMIUM" with no further documentation. The Free Tier includes 1,000 bunches per month for the first 12 months, after which your existing workloads will continue running exactly as before, just more expensively.

  29. AWS Neural Identity Lumberyard is a fully managed machine learning service that mills your organization's fragmented identity signals into uniform, load-bearing authentication beams, which can then be cut to length using any of the nine supported policy frameworks or the fourteen available CDK constructs. Each beam is priced at $0.0023 per linear inference foot, with cross-account grain matching billed separately at $0.17 per join, and dimensional normalization charges apply whenever the Lumberyard detects warping in your existing IAM roles, which it will. The Free Tier includes 1,000 inference feet per month for the first twelve months, sufficient to authenticate approximately one moderately complex microservice in us-east-1.

  30. Amazon Serverless Data Yardarm is a fully managed nautical-pivot service that keeps your data workloads properly balanced at all times, automatically shifting compute weight between your port and starboard accounts as conditions change, though the definition of "conditions" is determined by the service and is not configurable. Yardarm supports fourteen integration patterns across EventBridge, Kinesis, and SQS, all of which are correct depending on your use case, and the correct one for your use case is left as an exercise for the reader at a rate of $0.0023 per degree of rotation per gigabyte, billed in one-millisecond increments rounded up to the nearest hour. The Free Tier includes 5 GB of static yardarm positioning per month at no charge, provided your workload does not move.

  31. AWS Integration Petroglyph permanently etches your event-driven workflows into durable stone, providing immutable, human-readable integration patterns that will outlast your AWS account, your company, and most known civilizations. Petroglyph supports up to 12 chiseling formats including JSON, Avro, and a proprietary rock-face encoding called .flint, and integrates natively with EventBridge, Step Functions, and four other services that do approximately the same thing. The Free Tier includes 2,000 etchings per month, after which you are billed per chisel stroke at $0.0000038, a figure that will seem reasonable until your archaeologist reports back on how many strokes it took to encode your authentication middleware.

  32. Amazon Sandal is a fully managed open-toed compute substrate that exposes your workloads to the environment while providing just enough sole coverage to maintain plausible deniability with your security team. Sandal supports up to 64 straps per region, each strap representing an independently configurable IAM boundary that can be attached, detached, and lost between meetings. Sandal is available now in us-east-1, with additional regions planned for late 2026; the Free Tier includes one strap per month at no charge, though data transfer out of the strap is billed at standard rates, and cross-strap communication requires a NAT Gateway.

  33. Amazon Resilience Hydrant delivers up to 1,500 GPM of fault-tolerant pressure across your application infrastructure, automatically redistributing flow to healthy Availability Zones when upstream failures are detected, with native integration across 94 AWS services and three services that are almost the same as those services but are not. Hydrant capacity is metered in Pressure Units per second, billed in increments of 0.001 PU with a per-connection coupling fee of $0.0023 that applies each time the Hydrant re-engages following an auto-recovery event, which counts as a new connection. The Free Tier includes 750 hours of single-AZ Hydrant flow per month for the first 12 months, after which your Hydrant will remain open.
