Amazon RDS Proxy announces caching_sha2_password authentication plugin support for client to proxy connections on MySQL on Aurora and RDS.

Customers need to use plugins to perform authentication between databases and clients while using RDS Proxy. Starting with MySQL 8.4, community MySQL uses caching_sha2_password plugin as the default, which is more secure than the previous default plugins. To align with this, starting today, caching_sha2_password will also be the default authentication plugin for new connection creates with RDS Proxy, if a value is not specified.

RDS Proxy is a fully managed and a highly available database proxy for Amazon Aurora and RDS databases. RDS Proxy helps improve application scalability, resiliency, and security. You can setup your RDS Proxy to use caching_sha2_password authentication on all available RDS for MySQL and Aurora MySQL versions with just a few clicks on the Amazon RDS Management Console or using the AWS SDK or CLI. Support for caching_sha2_password with RDS Proxy is available in all AWS Commercial Regions. For more information, including instructions on getting started, read the Amazon RDS Proxy documentation.

AWS Backup introduces dual stack support for the AWS Backup API endpoint in IPv6, enabling you to connect using Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), or dual stack clients. Dual stack support is also available when the AWS Backup API endpoint is privately accessed from your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using AWS PrivateLink. Dual stack endpoints are made available on a new AWS DNS domain name. The existing AWS Backup API endpoints are maintained for backwards compatibility reasons.

With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on AWS Backup endpoints, you are able to gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6 based systems and applications, without needing to switch all over at once. This enables you to meet IPv6 compliance requirements and removes the need for expensive networking equipment to handle the address translation between IPv4 and IPv6.

AWS Backup support for dual-stack environments is available in all regions where AWS Backup support for VPC endpoints is available. There is no additional charge when you connect to AWS Backup endpoints using Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) clients. To learn more, see AWS Backup documentation.

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB Compatibility) introduces NVMe-backed R6gd Instances, offering up to 7x faster query performance for applications with large datasets exceeding regular instance memory. These instances can expand the data caching capacity by up to 7 times compared to a regular instance.

NVMe-backed R6gd Instances leverage the local non-volatile memory express (NVMe)-based SSD storage available on r6gd instances to store ephemeral data, reducing network-based storage access, and improving read latency and throughput. Database pages evicted from the in-memory buffer cache are cached on local NVMe storage. Additionally, temporary space is hosted on local SSD instead of network storage, reducing the latency of queries involving sorts by up to 2x and accelerating resource-intensive operations like index builds.

Customers can get started with NVMe-backed R6gd Instances through the AWS Management Console, CLI, and SDK by modifying their Amazon DocumentDB database cluster or creating a new one using R6gd instances. NVMe-backed R6gd Instances are available for Amazon DocumentDB V5.0 on both Standard and IO-Optimized cluster storage configurations. For more information visit our pricing page and documentation.

AWS Mainframe Modernization introduces dual stack support for the managed runtime environments, enabling you to connect using Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), or dual stack clients.

The urgency to transition to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is driven by the continued growth of internet, which is exhausting available Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses. With simultaneous support for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients on AWS Mainframe Modernization runtime environments, you are able to gradually transition from IPv4 to IPv6 based systems and applications, without needing to switch all over at once. You can also continue to use IPv4 connections if you do not yet utilize IPv6.

There is no additional charge when you connect to AWS Mainframe Modernization using Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) clients. Support for IPv6 is available in any AWS Region where AWS Mainframe Modernization managed runtime is already deployed. To learn more, please visit AWS Mainframe Modernization product and documentation pages.
