AWS Weekly Roundup: Lambda for .NET 10, Client VPN, and More (January 12, 2026)

At the beginning of January, goals are set for the year. If AI and cloud computing are on your list, keeping up with the latest in the AWS world is crucial.

Here are the highlights from this week:

Last Week's Launches

• AWS Lambda: Now supports creating serverless applications using .NET 10 as both a managed runtime and container base images.
• Amazon ECS: Added support for tmpfs mounts for Linux tasks running on AWS Fargate and Amazon ECS Managed Instances. This can improve disk I/O performance for your containerized workloads (like Docker).
• AWS Config: Can now discover, audit, and remediate additional AWS resource types including Amazon EC2, Amazon SageMaker, and Amazon S3 Tables.
• Amazon MQ: Introduces HTTP-based authentication for RabbitMQ brokers.
• Amazon EC2: M8i, C8i, and other new instance types are now available in additional regions.
• AWS VPN: A new quickstart reduces the steps required to set up a Client VPN endpoint.

Additional Updates and Resources

These updates are critical for improving your DevOps processes on your cloud journey. Especially for teams using EKS or Kubernetes, infrastructure management is becoming easier.
