AWS Step Functions adds new AWS service integrations automatically, starting with AWS Lambda MicroVMs

AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service that orchestrates over 220 AWS services. This update automatically adds AWS SDK integrations for new services and features, such as AWS Lambda Core and AWS Lambda MicroVMs, within weeks of their release, enabling orchestration of the latest AWS services without waiting for updates. Lambda MicroVMs provide isolated secure runtimes for each agent task and automatically retry on environment start failures. Step Functions' parallel and map states allow multiple tasks to run simultaneously, automatically terminating the environment upon task completion. Lambda Core can configure private networks so MicroVM environments can securely access internal databases and APIs. This expansion also includes AWS Partner Central revenue measurement, AWS Resilience Hub V2, AWS Support approvals, and Amazon SageMaker job runtime. New AWS services will automatically appear in Step Functions integrations within weeks of release, requiring no additional configuration or action. Updates will be ongoing, so new posts highlighting new AWS SDK service integrations will no longer be published. These features are generally available in all AWS regions where AWS Step Functions is offered. Specific services and API actions depend on whether the target service is available in the AWS region. For more details on the SDK integrations for AWS Step Functions, see the developer guide or check the full list of supported services in the AWS SDK service integrations and integration release history.
