Amazon CloudWatch now lets you configure a warm-up period for metric alarms and log alarms, delaying alarm evaluation for a set time after the alarm is created. This reduces noise from missing data while a new resource or service starts up and begins publishing metrics. For example, a team that provisions a new microservice and its alarms together through a CI/CD pipeline can attach a warm-up period so alarms do not page the on-call engineer while the service is still starting up and has not yet published metrics. Previously, when you created an alarm before the underlying metric was reporting data, CloudWatch evaluated the alarm right away …

Partner Revenue Measurement User Agent string now supports additional AWS services. Partner Revenue Measurement allows Partners to better understand their AWS revenue impact and product consumption patterns. Previously, the User Agent string capability measured AWS service consumption across select services. With this expansion, Partners can now measure attributed revenue across additional applicable AWS services that log control plane activity in AWS CloudTrail, significantly increasing the visibility Partners have into the revenue their solutions drive. Partners who have already embedded a user agent (format APN_1.1/pc_$) in their applicat…

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now includes an analytics dashboard built directly into the AWS Management Console, giving publishers a global and multi-region view of ad monetization and streaming performance — with the ability to compare across regions and drill into individual playback configurations. The dashboard surfaces key business metrics including fill rate, ad impression rate, video completion rate, and impression recovery data — showing publishers exactly how many billable impressions they are recovering through MediaTailor's server-side beacon retry logic. The analytics dashboard is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Elemental Med…

Today, Amazon Quick announces integration with AWS Agent Registry, enabling users to discover and use resources from their organization's AWS Agent Registry directly within Amazon Quick. AWS Agent Registry supports MCP servers and agents, which users can now search and browse directly within Amazon Quick. After finding the agent or MCP server they need, users can enable it with a few clicks. Connection details are already populated from the registry. Once enabled, these resources can be shared with teams for use across chat, agents, apps, flows, and deep research. This integration bridges the gap between technical teams who build agents with…

Amazon Connect Global Resiliency now supports cross-region routing of contacts to agents across two linked AWS regions. For example, a contact arriving in US East (N. Virginia) is offered to the longest-available matching agent whether that agent is in US East (N. Virginia) or US West (Oregon), while managers view analytics and search contacts across both regions as a unified contact center. Because both regions now carry live traffic at all times, neither sits idle as an untested standby. Your full configuration and any integrations are exercised continuously in both regions, providing confidence that either environment is ready to absorb t…

Amazon Cognito now supports the GetClientToken API operation, enabling app clients to obtain access tokens for machine-to-machine (M2M) authorization directly through the AWS SDK, CLI, or API — without configuring a user pool domain. This gives you an additional path to authorize service-to-service communication for applications, microservices, and automated workloads. The new GetClientToken API operation lets your app client authenticate with its client ID and secret to receive an access token authorized for custom scopes on your resource servers. As a native AWS API operation, GetClientToken integrates seamlessly with AWS SDKs and supports…

Amazon OpenSearch Service has expanded Cluster Insights with 17 new insights that identify the root causes behind Red and Yellow cluster status and provide actionable recommendations to resolve them. These insights cover resource exhaustion scenarios including JVM out-of-memory, sustained CPU saturation, as well as configuration issues such as zone imbalance, and misconfigured replica counts. Previously, when a cluster entered Red or Yellow status due to unassigned shards, diagnosing the underlying cause required manually correlating multiple metrics across nodes and availability zones. With these new insights, OpenSearch Service automatical…

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has expanded the regional availability for Amazon WorkSpaces Applications. Starting today, AWS customers can deploy their applications and desktops in the Europe (Zurich), Asia Pacific (Osaka), and Canada West (Calgary) Regions and stream them using WorkSpaces Applications. Deploying your applications on WorkSpaces Applications in a region closer to your end users helps provide a more responsive experience. Additionally, customers in Europe, Asia Pacific, and Canada now have more AWS region options to deploy their workloads on WorkSpaces Applications, helping them meet data residency and compliance requirements. Ama…

Amazon MSK Connect (Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka Connect) supports restarting newly created connectors and their tasks, enabling fast recovery for streaming data pipelines. Amazon MSK Connect is a fully managed service that allows you to deploy, monitor, and scale Apache Kafka Connect connectors with Amazon MSK (Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka). Previously, recovering from failures required deleting and recreating the connector, resulting in downtime and operational overhead. With this feature, you can restart your connector and all its tasks, or selectively restart only the failed tasks, making recovery seamless. You can als…

AWS announces the public preview of AWS Interconnect — multicloud with Microsoft Azure. Customers have been adopting multicloud strategies while migrating more applications to the cloud. They do so for many reasons including interoperability requirements, the freedom to choose technology that best suits their needs, and the ability to build and deploy applications on any environment with greater ease and speed. Previously, when interconnecting workloads across multiple cloud service providers (CSPs), customers had to go the route of a ‘do-it-yourself’ multicloud approach, leading to complexities of building and managing global multi-layered …

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory now lets developers define flexible namespace variables to scope long-term memories along any application-specific dimension - such as organization, tenant, team, or environment - without creating duplicate strategies or overloading built-in variables. This gives multi-tenant and complex-hierarchy applications fine-grained control over how memories are organized, isolated, and accessed. Define keys on the memory resource, reference them in a strategy's namespace template, and supply values at runtime through the CreateEvent API. The service substitutes them into namespace templates during long-term memory extr…
