Amazon EKS announces 99.99% Service Level Agreement and new 8XL scaling tier for Provisioned Control Plane clusters

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now offers a 99.99% Service Level Agreement (SLA) for clusters running on Provisioned Control Plane, up from the 99.95% SLA offered on standard control plane. Amazon EKS is also introducing the 8XL scaling tier, the largest available Provisioned Control Plane tier. Provisioned Control Plane gives you the ability to select your cluster’s control plane capacity from a set of well-defined scaling tiers, ensuring the control plane is pre-provisioned and ready to handle traffic spikes or unpredictable bursts. The higher 99.99% SLA is measured in 1-minute intervals, providing a more granular and stringent availability commitment for mission-critical workloads. The new 8XL tier offers double the Kubernetes API server request processing capacity of the next lower 4XL tier, enabling workloads such as ultra-scale AI/ML training, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale data processing. Both the 99.99% SLA and the 8XL tier are available today in all AWS regions where Amazon EKS Provisioned Control Plane is offered. To learn more about the SLA, see the Amazon EKS Service Level Agreement. For 8XL pricing and capabilities, see the EKS pricing and EKS Provisioned Control Plane documentation.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime adds WebRTC support for real-time bidirectional streaming

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports WebRTC for real-time bidirectional streaming between clients and agents, adding to the existing WebSocket protocol support. With WebRTC, developers can build voice agents for browser and mobile applications that stream audio and video bidirectionally with low latency using peer-to-peer, UDP-based transport, enabling natural, real-time conversational experiences.
WebRTC joins WebSocket as the second bidirectional streaming protocol supported by AgentCore Runtime. While WebSocket provides persistent, full-duplex connections for text and audio streaming over TCP, WebRTC is optimized for real-time media delivery where low latency is critical, such as voice agents in browser and mobile applications. WebRTC requires a TURN relay for media traffic, and AgentCore Runtime gives you flexibility in how you set that up: Amazon Kinesis Video Streams managed TURN for a fully managed experience with native AWS IAM integration, a third-party provider, or your own self-hosted TURN infrastructure. Both protocols benefit from AgentCore Runtime session isolation, observability, and scaling.
WebRTC is supported in AgentCore Runtime across fourteen AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), and Europe (Stockholm).
To get started, see Bidirectional streaming in the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore documentation, which includes ready-to-deploy examples for both protocols: an Amazon Nova Sonic voice agent with KVS TURN server, Pipecat voice agents with WebSocket, WebRTC, and Daily transport, a LiveKit voice agent, and a Strands Agents SDK voice agent.
