Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) now supports tenant-level deliverability insights in Virtual Deliverability Manager (VDM). Tenant management allows email senders to isolate email sending across customers, business units, or applications. Previously, VDM provided deliverability metrics at the account, ISP, sending identity, and configuration set levels. Now, customers who use tenants and have enabled VDM can also monitor the deliverability of each tenant. The VDM dashboard adds a Tenants view with per-tenant metrics (send volume, deliveries, bounces, complaints, opens, and clicks) and a detail page that breaks those metrics down by mailbox …

Amazon Quick now expands Generate Analysis with two new ways to create dashboards faster. You can generate a single sheet inside an existing analysis by describing it in natural language, and you can generate a new analysis from an image of an existing dashboard. With Generate Sheet, you describe the sheet you want and Amazon Quick adds it to your current analysis with visuals selected for your data, filter controls, and calculated fields such as year-over-year growth and month-over-month comparisons. You can extend an analysis without building each visual by hand. With generate an analysis from an image, you attach an image of a dashboard, …

Amazon SageMaker AI now supports serverless model customization for the NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning model using supervised fine-tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT).

In addition to deploying this model on SageMaker AI, you can now adapt it to your specific domains and workflows. Model customization enables you to tailor foundation models with your proprietary data so a smaller, right-sized model can match frontier-model quality…

Builders can now sign up for a new simplified experience that makes it faster to turn ideas into running code on AWS. AWS services provide an array of configuration options so that the largest enterprises can customize settings for their distinct needs. Until now, builders with a new project idea had to decide among these options and configure their AWS environment before beginning to build. The new experience reduces setup effort by simplifying sign-up and automatically configuring an initial project with sensible defaults so builders can begin implementing their idea immediately. When you sign up, you can use your existing Google, GitHub, …

Amazon Connect Customer now lets managers import a PDF of an evaluation form from a third-party quality management application, and automatically recreates it in Connect using AI, making it easier to migrate an existing quality program into Connect. Instead of rebuilding an existing form question by question, you upload the PDF and choose the preferred scoring method, either percentage or points-based, and Connect Customer automatically extracts the sections, questions, answer options, and scoring into a draft evaluation form. You can also provide natural language instructions to import the form more accurately or to adjust it as it's create…

Amazon Connect Customer now supports tag-based access control for custom metrics, so you can govern which users and roles can view, create, or modify each custom metric. As more teams across your organization adopt custom metrics, they end up editing the same shared library. Without controls, one person can change a metric that other teams count on. The usual fix is to give only a handful of people permissions to custom metrics, but that shuts out every other team that wants to start using them. Now you can tag each metric, then use those tags to set access: a team gets full control of their own metrics, view-only access to another team’s, a…

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now supports two additional lifecycle hooks for monetization functions: post ad decision server (ADS) response, and pre manifest insertion. MediaTailor is a video service that personalizes and inserts ads into live and on-demand streams. Monetization functions run customer-defined logic at defined points in an ad-personalized playback session, removing the need for a middleware tier between MediaTailor and the ADS. The post ADS response hook runs after MediaTailor parses an ADS response and resolves all Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) wrappers, before ads are selected and transcoded. Customers use it to call a seco…

Amazon Connect Customer provides a library of standard metrics. Custom metrics let you go further; defining the measurements unique to your business. But managing them across various instances manually means definitions slowly drift until the numbers no longer align. A metric you can't trust is worse than no metric at all, because people still make decisions on it. Now you define a metric once and manage it programmatically through seven new API operations (CreateMetric, DeleteMetric, DescribeMetric, ListMetrics, SearchMetrics, UpdateMetricContent, and UpdateMetricMetadata) so your definitions stay consistent as you scale across queues, team…

The Detected Anomalies widget displays the number of anomalies detected and their total cost impact relative to your month-to-date spend, giving you immediate context on each anomaly's scale. For each anomaly, you can review the cost impact, root cause, and…
