AWS Features
- LocalStack now supports [AWS Shield](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/shield/), which allows you to create, read, update, and delete Shield protections and subscriptions in your local environment with a mock provider. (🌟 pro)
Enhancements
- [Neptune](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/neptune/) will now enforce IAM permission over data for Gremlin queries. When creating a cluster with `IAMDatabaseAuthenticationEnabled` set to true, your Gremlin queries will need to be signed to perform `READ`, `WRITE`, and/or `DELETE` operations. This only affects users using `ENFORCE_IAM` and `IAM_SOFT_MODE` configuration variables. (🌟 pro)
- ELB listeners now support any port matching the `GATEWAY_LISTEN` configuration variable instead of only the first port. (🌟 pro)
- You can now use the `MWAA_DOCKER_FLAGS` configuration variable while starting the LocalStack container to pass extra flags when starting an Airflow container with [MWAA](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/mwaa/). (🌟 pro)
- [Managed Service for Apache Flink](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/kinesisanalyticsv2/) now supports forwarding application logs created with Log4j or SLF4J to CloudWatch Logs. (🌟 pro)
- [Step Functions](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/stepfunctions/) provider now features optimized service integration for Glue.
- [Step Functions](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/stepfunctions/) interpreter now validates unsupported API actions in optimized service integrations at creation time instead of only at runtime. It also adds logging for missing request/return types and reports errors for unsupported service tasks.
- LocalStack now supports PostgreSQL as a source in the [Database Migration Service (DMS)](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/dms/) provider. (🌟 enterprise)
- The [Bedrock](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/bedrock/) provider now supports on-demand model switching by specifying a model ID prefixed with `ollama.` for each request. (🌟 enterprise)
- The [Bedrock](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/bedrock/) provider now supports pulling multiple models on LocalStack startup with a new `BEDROCK_PULL_MODELS` configuration option. This option allows you to specify a comma-separated list of model IDs to pull from the [Ollama models library](https://ollama.com/search) on startup. (🌟 enterprise)
- Ollama logs from the [Bedrock](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/bedrock/) provider are now streamed directly to LocalStack logs. (🌟 enterprise)
- [EKS](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/eks/) now supports [Kubernetes versions](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/eks/#supported-versions) 1.31 and 1.32. The default version is set to 1.31, in parity with the latest supported version in AWS. (🌟 pro)
- LocalStack now supports Binary media for [API Gateway](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/apigateway/) REST APIs, allowing payloads to be passed as-is, converted to UTF-8, or base64 encoded/decoded.
LocalStack Features
- LocalStack now offers a new [AWS Replicator tool](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/tools/aws-replicator/) that copies AWS resources into a running LocalStack instance. It helps when deploying applications that rely on existing resources like SSM parameters or VPCs, ensuring they are available before deploying the main stack. Read more about this in our [documentation](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/tools/aws-replicator/). (🌟 teams)
- LocalStack now supports [auto-loading Cloud Pods](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/state-management/cloud-pods/#auto-load-with-remotes) from [registered remotes](https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/state-management/cloud-pods/#remotes). (🌟 teams)
