- Added Iceberg REST Catalog (IRC) connections, enabling browsing, read/write, and querying of external Apache Iceberg catalogs via OAuth2 or bearer token with short‑lived S3 credentials.
- Introduced IAM authentication for Amazon DocumentDB connections, allowing credential‑less access using the connection's IAM role and AWS STS (requires DocumentDB 5.0+ with TLS).
- Both capabilities are now generally available in all SageMaker Unified Studio regions at no additional cost.
