Announcing the LocalStack for AWS 2026.06.0 Release

LocalStack for AWS 2026.06.0 introduces several key features and improvements, including S3 Replication emulation, enhanced Service Control Policy enforcement within the IAM policy engine, and a new SQLite-backed v2 implementation of CloudWatch Logs. This release supports Bottlerocket self-managed nodes for EKS, Lambda runtime init error reporting, and Kubernetes pod configuration controls. It also expands AWS Replicator coverage and introduces initial support for the Aurora DSQL control plane. Enhancements have been made across various AWS services such as Lambda, SQS, ECS, CloudFormation, S3, and more, aiming to close AWS parity gaps and improve compatibility with Terraform and CloudFormation. The release also marks the removal of legacy CloudFormation v1 and Glue job execution paths, and encourages users to upgrade to benefit from the latest features and provide feedback for future updates.
