You can now use AWS Transform agentic migration assessments to evaluate the migration of on-premises Apache Kafka clusters to Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK). AWS Transform migration assessments use agentic AI to analyze your workloads, recommend the best-fit AWS services, and generate a total cost of ownership (TCO) business case with pricing options and actionable next steps - all in minutes, through natural-language chat or with AWS Transform MCP server. For Apache Kafka workloads, the assessment agent delivers compatibility checks, right-sized Amazon MSK Express broker recommendations, and projected costs - helping…

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights now lets you estimate the volume of log data, in bytes, that a query would scan over your selected log groups and time range - without running the query. This helps you adjust your log group selection, time range, and filters before running the query. In the CloudWatch console, the estimate appears automatically in the query editor when you change the log group selection, time range, or query text. When using the AWS CLI or API, append the estimate command to your query to request it explicitly. Queries that use the estimate command incur no CloudWatch Logs Insights query charges. The estimate command is avail…

Amazon CloudWatch Logs now automatically indexes the fields you query frequently, speeding up CloudWatch Logs Insights queries without requiring any manual setup. Previously, you had to manually select the fields to index based on your query patterns and usage, requiring extra work for teams whose query patterns change over time. CloudWatch Logs identifies the fields in your queries that you use for filtering with the = and IN operations and indexes them automatically, enabling queries to run faster and scan less data. Fields that are automatically indexed don't count toward your 20-field-per-log-group limit and are retained for 30 days. The…

AWS Transfer Family now lets web app users download multiple files and folders at once. End users can select any combination of files and folders and download them together in a single action. The download is delivered as a zip archive that preserves the original folder structure when unzipped. You can get started by selecting files and folders in a location and choosing Download from the action menu. Previously, end users could download only one file at a time, and folders could not be downloaded at all. The web app shows the files to be downloaded and real-time progress with a success or failed status for each one. Multiple-file download i…

AWS DataSync now supports shared Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). You can create DataSync agents and run transfer tasks using subnets shared across AWS accounts with AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM). It allows you to transfer data privately over a shared subnet and VPC endpoint managed in a central account, rather than one per account. Customers that centralize their networking previously had to create a separate DataSync VPC endpoint in every account that connected privately through AWS PrivateLink. Each endpoint consumed IP addresses and added operational overhead to maintain across accounts. With shared VPC support, a single endpoint in th…

AWS Systems Manager now lets you share your Systems Manager Documents (SSM Documents) with an entire AWS organization or with specific organizational units (OUs) using AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM). Previously, you could only share a document publicly or with a list of individual account IDs. You can now easily share a document with your organization or OUs, and Systems Manager automatically keeps that sharing up to date as accounts are added to or removed from your organization or OU, so you no longer need to track and update accounts manually. To share a document, you create an AWS RAM resource share, add the SSM Documents you want…

Amazon ElastiCache Serverless for Valkey now supports public endpoints, letting you connect to your cache directly from a laptop, a serverless function, or any application running outside AWS, without setting up a VPN, a bastion host, or an SSH tunnel. With a public endpoint, ElastiCache Serverless gives you a fully managed cache reachable over the internet, with no VPC to configure and no infrastructure to provision, and you can create one in under a minute. Use it to rapidly prototype, connect AI coding tools and agents straight to your cache, or add caching to workloads that can't reach a VPC. Every connection uses IAM authentication over…

Amazon Rekognition Face Liveness now returns Feedback Codes that help customers understand why a liveness check received a low score and how users could retry successfully. The codes are returned in the GetFaceLivenessSessionResults API response, and they identify the specific conditions that contributed to the low score, such as poor lighting, face obstruction, closed eyes, or low video quality. Customers can surface these codes to their end users who can then make targeted corrections and retry with confidence. A single session can return multiple Feedback Codes at once, allowing users to resolve all contributing issues in one retry. This …

Amazon Bedrock now supports SpaceXAI Grok 4.7, a frontier model built for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, with US Geo and Global cross-Region inference. Grok 4.7 builds on Grok 4.6 with better mixed-document handling, more dependable repo-scale coding with planning and error recovery, and enhanced browser-use agents for form fills and portal navigation. Get started with Grok 4.7 in the Amazon Bedrock console or programmatically through supported Amazon Bedrock APIs. For information about supported AWS Regions, endpoints, APIs, features, inference profiles and pricing, see the Amazon Bedrock documentation. To learn more, read the l…

If there’s one theme that defined last week, it’s choice. The frontier models keep arriving, and the interesting question is no longer just “how smart is it?” but “which model fits this step, at this cost, at this latency?” That’s exactly what landed on Amazon Bedrock over the past few days: GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 […]

AWS GovCloud (US) now offers Claude Sonnet 5.5, a smarter and more efficient Sonnet that delivers a clear leap forward on coding and knowledge work with at a lower cost per task for most work ag faster speed. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is a smarter, more efficient Sonnet and a step up from Sonnet 5, making it a natural upgrade for teams already building on Sonnet. It's stronger for coding, completing well-scoped tasks as part of a larger coding strategy such as building and fixing features with Claude in the same session or verifying output against requirements. And it produces ready-to-share knowledge work, from 1-pagers, diagrams, and summary slide…
