Last week’s AWS announcements included a price reduction for OpenAI GPT‑5.6 models in Amazon Bedrock, effective July 30, with on-demand inference prices for GPT‑5.6 Luna reduced by 80% and GPT‑5.6 Terra by 20%. Luna now costs $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens, with reductions applied automatically. Amazon CloudWatch now supports collecting Prometheus metrics from AWS infrastructure using fully managed collectors, enabling monitoring of Amazon EKS, Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, Amazon MSK, and Amazon OpenSearch Service workloads without managing agents. AWS Interconnect, a multicloud connectivity product, is now generally available for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, providing private cross-cloud networking without the public internet. AWS IAM Identity Center extended multi-Region support to the Identity Center directory, allowing replication from a primary AWS Region to additional Regions so users retain access to AWS accounts during primary Region disruptions, a feature previously available only for external identity providers. The post also mentioned Amazon S3 Tables support, though details were not provided.
