AWS Elemental Inference

• Features

  • This release adds contextual metadata, a feed output type that generates a descriptive summary of your media content along with IAB taxonomy and GARM suitability classifications. It also adds feed resource policies for granting cross-account access to a feed.

AWS Elemental MediaLive

• Features

  • MediaLive now supports Manual Style Control for vertical caption positioning in TTML, WebVTT, and Embedded captions, Contextual Metadata Enrichment via Elemental Inference, and an Output Usage field on MediaPackage v2 for Dynamic Multiview validation.

AWS Elemental MediaPackage v2

• Features

AWS MediaTailor

• Features

  • Added the AWS Service Request function type for MediaTailor Functions, enabling authenticated requests to AWS Elemental Inference for contextual ad targeting during ad insertion.

AWS Parallel Computing Service

• Features

  • This release adds support for custom Gres.conf configuration and Slurm version 26.05 in AWS PCS. Customers can now specify generic resource (GRES) settings to control how GPUs and other resources are configured and shared on their compute node groups.

AWS SDK for Java v2

• Bugfixes

  • Fixed an intermittent NullPointerException when downloading a single-part object with a multipart-enabled async S3 client. A race between the emit loop and subscription cancellation could dereference a cleared subscriber reference; the reference is now stable and reads are null-safe.
