With today's launch, customers can automatically enable Security Hub findings delivery to CloudWatch Logs using CloudWatch enablement rules that apply to the entire organization or specific accounts, to standardize security monitoring coverage. For example, a security team can create an enablement rule to automatically send Security Hub fi

AWS launches the AWS Sustainability console, a free, standalone service that shows customers their environmental impact associated with their AWS usage. Expanding on the features from the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT) in the AWS Billing console, this new service addresses a critical access barrier by enabling sustainability professionals to view carbon emissions data without requiring billing permissions. Organizations can now ensure the right teams have access to the environmental data. Like the CCFT, the AWS Sustainability console provides customers their estimated carbon emissions from using AWS, calculated using both market-based (MBM) and location-based (LBM) methods and available by AWS Region, service, and emissions scope (1, 2, 3). The console also delivers additional capabilities including improved customizable visualizations, the ability to set which month your fiscal year starts, customiza

Amazon OpenSearch Service now offers agentic AI capabilities that enable engineering and support teams to analyze log data through an agentic conversational interface. These agentic AI features help simplify log querying and accelerate incident investigations by allowing teams to interact with data using natural language, plan and initiate autonomous root cause analysis, and persist conversation as they navigate through their Observability workspace in OpenSearch UI. This launch introduces three key capabilities available at no additional cost (token-based usage limits apply). Agentic chat enables you to ask questions in natural language to analyze data, generate and iterate Piped Processing Language (PPL) queries in Discover, and analyze visualizations for insights. When deeper root cause analysis is needed, you can trigger the investigation agent to autonomously and iteratively plan for the investigation, execute queries, reflect on results, and then deliver structured ro

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio adds Observability for jobs, it now displays Amazon CloudWatch metrics for AWS Glue jobs directly alongside job logs in a single, unified interface. This enhancement adds observability to SageMaker Unified Studio, enabling data engineers and ETL developers to streamline their troubleshooting processes. With this feature, teams can diagnose performance issues faster by correlating resource utilization patterns—including DPU utilization, memory consumption, CPU load, and data movement size—directly with job log output. Specific use cases include identifying compute bottlenecks, detecting memory pressure or out-of-memory conditions, optimizing resource allocation, and monitoring data pipeline performance at scale. By consolidating metrics and logs into one workspace, organizations can significantly reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) for ETL pipeline issues and improve overall operational efficiency. This feature is available in

AWS Organizations now returns the complete organizational path for accounts and organizational units (OUs) directly in API responses, eliminating the need for multiple API calls to traverse organizational hierarchies. Previously, understanding where accounts and organizational units (OUs) are positioned within your organization structure required multiple API calls. This enhancement is particularly valuable for enterprise customers managing large, complex AWS Organizations with deeply nested OU structures. With this launch, APIs including DescribeAccount, ListAccounts, DescribeOrganizationalUnit, and others now include the full path from organization to root to the target entity (e.g., o-{orgId}/r-{rootId}/ou-{ouId}/{accountId}) in a single call. This eliminates time-consuming multiple API calls for org path determination and reduces operational overhead when analyzing service control p

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud introduces three powerful new fleet scaling options that give you greater flexibility in managing your render farm capacity and performance: worker idle duration, standby worker count, and scale out rate. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps creative teams efficiently manage and scale their rendering workloads in the cloud. These new options give you direct control over balancing rendering speed and efficiency. Configurable worker idle duration allows you to specify how long workers remain available after completing a job, eliminating wait times between job submissions and speeding up artist’s iteration workflow. Standby worker count maintains a pool of pre-warmed, idle workers that are immediately available at job submission so your renders start right away. Scale out rate lets you configure how quickly your fleet scales, up to 500 workers per minute, giving you the control you need to match your infrastructure needs.

AWS Marketplace now offers sellers a streamlined self-service process for refunds and agreement cancellations, reducing the time and effort required to process these requests. This new capability eliminates the need to file support tickets, and gives both sellers and buyers full visibility into the latest status of each request. Buyers can now review and approve cancellation requests directly from the AWS Marketplace console, and see refunds reflected on their charge summary for easier reconciliation. Additionally, Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is now only triggered for invoices that require compliance validation, so sellers can process refunds for KYC-exempt invoices without unnecessary verification delays. With this launch, sellers can request refunds or cancellations from the Agreements page in the seller portal or programmatically through the AWS Marketplace Agreement APIs. These requests are pre-populated with agreement and invoice data and processed automatica

Today we are announcing the release of Aurora DSQL connectors for .NET (Npgsql) and Rust (SQLx) that make it easy to build .NET and Rust applications on Aurora DSQL.
