AWS Releases IoT SDK for Swift, RDS BYOM, and OpenAI Models on Bedrock

AWS IoT Device SDK for Swift Now Available

The AWS IoT Device SDK for Swift is now generally available, allowing Swift developers to integrate MQTT 5 connectivity effectively.

This SDK enables the development of IoT applications across macOS, iOS, tvOS, and Linux, reflecting the growing trend of Swift being used in edge computing and IoT scenarios.

Bring Your Own Media for Amazon RDS

Amazon RDS for SQL Server has introduced the Bring Your Own Media (BYOM) feature, which allows customers to reuse their existing SQL Server licenses when migrating applications to AWS.

This initiative is aligned with Microsoft's License Mobility program and is integrated with AWS License Manager to ensure compliance and usage tracking.

Multi-Region Replication for Cognito

Amazon Cognito now supports multi-Region replication, allowing for user data synchronization across secondary user pools.

This feature enhances availability, as it ensures that users can access applications without re-authenticating during a primary region disruption.

OpenAI Models on Amazon Bedrock

OpenAI's models, including GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Codex, are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock.

These models enhance capabilities in AI-driven software development and data analysis, with strong operational controls within the AWS ecosystem.
