AWS Weekly Roundup: Kiro waitlist, EBS Volume Clones, EC2 Capacity Manager, and more (October 20, 2025)

In the latest AWS Weekly Roundup, significant updates were announced including the much-anticipated Kinesis Data Streams waitlist launch. This important enhancement allows developers to easily leverage real-time data processing at scale, streamlining the workflow for applications that depend on timely data ingestion.

Additionally, AWS highlighted advancements in Elastic Block Store (EBS) with the introduction of volume clones, which enable faster and more efficient replication of EBS volumes, thus enhancing DevOps practices around storage management and disaster recovery. This feature allows teams to create clones of EBS volumes in minutes, significantly reducing deployment times and enabling quick tests and rollbacks.

Furthermore, the new EC2 Capacity Manager aims to optimize instance provisioning, ensuring that teams have the right resources at the right time, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. This tool also helps in managing costs through intelligent scaling, making it a valuable asset for organizations looking to optimize their cloud expenditure while maintaining performance.

These updates reflect AWS’s commitment to reinforcing DevOps methodologies, providing tools and practices that empower teams to innovate and deliver quickly while maintaining high standards of reliability and cost-effectiveness.
