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 …

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now provides a consolidated deployment view for Amazon ECS Managed Daemons, giving you a single place to see how far a deployment has progressed, what is failing, and what could stop it. This helps you monitor Managed Daemon deployments at a glance and resolve issues faster, whether a rollout is in progress or you are reviewing what happened after it completed, eliminating the need to piece together deployment status from multiple sources. The deployment view presents a lifecycle timeline with timestamps at each step and the total deployment duration, including the rollback path if a deployment i…
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports Amazon S3 Files for tasks running on the Amazon EC2 launch type, enabling customers to connect their containerized applications directly to data in Amazon S3 as a shared file system. With this launch, customers running ECS workloads on EC2 instances can work with their S3 data using standard file system semantics, so file-based applications, AI agents, and data processing workloads run on S3 data with no code changes and without duplicating or staging files first. S3 Files support was previously available for ECS tasks on AWS Fargate and ECS Managed Instances, and now extends to the …

There’s a particular energy to mid-September in New York. Pumpkin spice lattes are flowing, temperatures are dropping, and it’s nearly sweater weather. The city is back at full speed, and so is the AWS launch calendar. This week that energy showed up in a new frontier model on Amazon Bedrock, a desktop app for Amazon […]
AWS Glue zero-ETL integrations now detect table property conflicts and track integration ownership. When you configure a source table and target catalog, Glue associates the resulting table properties with the owning integration, so two integrations can no longer be pointed at the same target table without your knowledge. This works across Amazon S3 Tables and SageMaker Lakehouse catalogs. Data teams running multiple zero-ETL integrations gain predictable control over where each source table lands. If you attempt to create or modify an integration whose table properties are owned by another integration, Glue identifies the owning integration…
Memory-optimized Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X2idn instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region. These instances, powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors and built with AWS Nitro System, are designed for memory-intensive workloads and deliver improvements in performance compared to previous generation X1 instances. These instances are SAP-certified for running Business Suite on HANA, SAP S/4HANA, Data Mart Solutions on HANA, Business Warehouse on HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, and SAP NetWeaver workloads on any database.
AWS announces the availability of TwelveLabs Marengo 3.0 as an embedding model in Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, enabling customers to create multimodal embeddings for video, audio, and image content. Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base already supports media search by transcribing audio and video to text and generating text-based embeddings—Marengo 3.0 goes further by encoding visual scenes, speech, and video cues directly into multimodal embeddings, capturing meaning that transcription alone cannot. Simply upload your media assets from data sources such as Amazon S3, sync, and search using natural language—with no infrastructure …
Amazon API Gateway now supports configurable delivery destinations and larger log events for REST API execution logs. Previously, execution logs were delivered to a single API Gateway-managed CloudWatch Logs log group with log events truncated at 1 KB, limiting visibility into request and response data. You can now route execution logs up to 1 MB to your own Amazon CloudWatch Logs log groups, Amazon S3 buckets, or Amazon Data Firehose streams, and deliver to multiple destinations simultaneously. For example, you can route execution logs to Amazon S3 in Apache Parquet format for cost-efficient long-term storage and analysis with Amazon Athena…
