On October 16, 2026, AWS made Azure SDK to AWS SDK code conversion generally available in AWS Transform: Azure Functions becomes Lambda, Blob Storage becomes S3, and Cosmos DB becomes DynamoDB in preview. For a .NET team weighing an exit from Azure, it is a serious starting point — not a one-click migration.
On 12 October 2026, AWS added a third form factor to Lambda — Web Functions — that runs an Express, Hono or Next.js server as-is and bills for the CPU it actually uses. Try it for I/O-heavy APIs and server-side rendering; keep Event Functions for pure event processing.
On 2 October 2026 AWS Health launched a version catalog that gives a centralised view of the software-version lifecycles across AWS services, starting with RDS, EKS and Lambda. Teams on Business Support Plus, Enterprise Support or Unified Operations can query it through an API to build upgrade plans before end of support, instead of absorbing lifecycle events one by one.
