Automatically refreshed from RSS feedsToday, AWS Health introduces the version catalog which provides a centralized source of lifecycle information for software versions across AWS services. The version catalog helps customers move from reactive to proactive management of version upgrades and end-of-support risk. It is available in the AWS Health Dashboard, and customers on Business Support Plus, Enterprise Support, or Unified Operations can use the AWS Health API to integrate lifecycle data into their operational workflows. Customers running applications on AWS need to stay current with software versions to maintain a strong security and operational posture. AWS Health already …
2 days agoAWS introduces Amazon EBS Volume Clones with cross-account copy, so you can create copies of your EBS volumes into other AWS accounts and optionally re-encrypt them with an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key in the target account.
AWS Marketplace sellers that activated the request demo or request private offer call-to-action buttons on their listings can now act on customer requests within minutes of submission, while customers are still actively evaluating their products. This happens automatically, with no changes required to their listings or workflows. When a customer submits a request, they can now provide details about their use case, and AWS Marketplace uses an agentic workflow to evaluate those details and create an opportunity for the seller: an active prospect with a defined use case. Each opportunity arrives in AWS Partner Central with the customer's contac…
AWS Lambda now supports a 90-minute function timeout for asynchronous and event source mapping (ESM) invocations on Lambda Managed Instances (LMI), a 6x increase from the previous 15-minute limit. You can now run data processing, media transcoding, financial calculations, AI inference, and batch workloads on Lambda for jobs that require longer continuous execution, without re-architecting your applications. Customers use Lambda to build serverless applications like event-driven processors, API backends, and data processing pipelines. For data-intensive workloads like media transcoding, financial calculations (such as Monte Carlo simulations)…
AWS announces the CheckIngestedDocumentAcl and GetIngestedDocumentAcl APIs for Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, giving customers a self-service way to debug document access issues and audit document-level permissions. When a user doesn't see an expected document in retrieval results for ACL-enabled data sources, it can be difficult to determine whether the cause is an access control misconfiguration or something else entirely. These new APIs and the accompanying console experience close that gap, enabling you to quickly diagnose and resolve permission issues without opening a support case. CheckIngestedDocumentAcl lets you verify wheth…
Today, Amazon Quick offers new capabilities that make it easier to organize your work, govern it across an organization, and trust the answers it produces. These capabilities build on Amazon Quick across desktop and mobile, bringing enterprise-grade management, richer collaboration, and always-on intelligence to teams wherever they work. Your agents no longer stop when you step away. Scheduled tasks and monitoring agents run in the cloud and deliver results to your feed even when your laptop is closed. A sharper activity feed adds top-level filters, an improved catch-up view, a daily briefing that refreshes three times a day, and search acro…
The Amazon Quick activity feed is now available on the Amazon Quick mobile app for iOS and Android, keeping you connected to your most important work from anywhere. The activity feed is your single, prioritized view of everything that needs your attention across your enterprise communications and tools, so you don't have to check each one separately. Items requiring your attention populate the top of your feed, and instead of switching between apps, you can take action directly from within Quick. Never miss something time-sensitive, even when you're away from your desk. Your decide which notifications are important and which are noise. Over …
AWS announces the Confluence Data Center data source connector for Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, a fully managed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) service. Customers running self-hosted Confluence Data Center instances can now crawl blogs and pages from their Confluence spaces directly into their managed knowledge base. Previously, bringing Confluence Data Center content into Bedrock Knowledge Bases required building custom ingestion pipelines—now, you provide your instance credentials, and the connector handles data crawling, metadata extraction, and incremental sync automatically. The Confluence Data Center connector gives your…
Amazon Connect Customer Profiles now sends segment membership events, providing the ability to receive real-time and scheduled notifications when customer profiles enter or exit a segment, such as high-value customers or low-satisfaction customers. Previously, detecting when customer profiles joined or left a segment required exporting entire segments at regular intervals and running custom scripts to identify differences. This manual process consumed resources, introduced errors, and created multi-hour delays between a customer qualifying for a segment and downstream systems acting on it. With segment membership events, Customer Profiles au…
AWS Entity Resolution now provides record-level confidence scores for Machine Learning (ML) based matching workflows, giving you a per-record signal of how confident the model is in each individual identity match. Previously, all records within a match group carried the same group-level confidence score regardless of actual match quality — making it impossible to distinguish a near-certain match from a borderline one. This forced customers to apply a single confidence threshold across all records, limiting the number of resolved identities that could be activated downstream. With record-level confidence scores, each resolved record now carri…

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now lets you run your own custom Python plugins on the managed versions of InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise editions. You host your plugin code in public or private repositories you control and the engine fetches and runs it in response to triggers, letting you implement logic specific to your workload without standing up separate external infrastructure. Plugins run on the trigger types the processing engine already supports and with them, you can build custom data transformations, alerting, aggregation, and integrations with your own services, all running close to your data. Plugins execute in a managed Python …
Amazon SageMaker Feature Store is a fully managed capability that makes it easy to compute, store, and retrieve features for training and deploying AI models. SageMaker Feature Store now supports feature-level writes, a new capability for updating individual features in a record. Data scientists can now update one or more feature values in a single request, without rewriting the entire record. Data scientists can use a single update call to replace the read-modify-write pattern their pipelines run today. Each write updates only the features in the request and leaves every other feature in the record unchanged, which lowers write latency and …
