Amazon SageMaker Data Agent now integrates with SageMaker Catalog business context and metadata, enabling data practitioners to discover datasets and generate more accurate SQL and Python code using business terminology instead of cryptic technical table names. This integration allows the Data Agent to leverage the business context that companies have invested months curating in their SageMaker Catalog, including those synced from Collibra, Atlan, and Alation, to deliver more accurate data discovery and code generation. With this capability, data practitioners can ask questions like "Calculate customer retention rate" or "What data do I have on customer churn?" and the Data Agent will search glossary terms, custom metadata forms, asset summaries, and README content to identify the correct tables and columns. The agent generates more accurate code on first attempt by understanding business context, plans multi-step workflows with the correct sequence of tables and transformat

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Capabilities can now be configured as log delivery sources using Amazon CloudWatch Vended Logs. This enables customers to monitor and troubleshoot their EKS Capabilities for Argo CD, AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), and kro (Kubernetes Resource Orchestrator) by monitoring logs collected from the managed controllers that run in AWS-managed infrastructure. Customers can enable log delivery for each capability using CloudWatch APIs or the AWS Console. Logs are configured as a CloudWatch Vended Logs delivery source, enabling reliable, secure log delivery to CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose destinations. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where the EKS Capabilities feature is supported. Standard CloudWatch Vended Logs pricing applies based on the chosen destination. There is no additional EKS charge. To learn more about EKS Capabili

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora DSQL, and Amazon DynamoDB serverless databases are now available on Vercel Marketplace and v0 by Vercel in additional AWS Regions, offering you more flexibility to build applications with Vercel and AWS databases from the Regions of your choice. To get started, you can describe your idea in v0 using natural language. The tool automatically generates a spec-driven design, deploys code and infrastructure, and stores your application data in the AWS database that best fits your needs with no hands-on coding or provisioning required. Vercel provides an end-to-end setup experience where you can create database resources in seconds under a new AWS account or link to an existing one, all without leaving Vercel. New AWS accounts created

Amazon Cognito now supports multi-Region replication, enabling you to synchronize user and machine identity data — including credentials, user pool configurations, and federation setups — to a secondary user pool in a standby Region you designate in near real-time. This capability helps you improve the resilience of your authentication system by providing a standby replica that can accept traffic in case there is a regional service disruption. In the event of a disruption in the primary Region, you can redirect traffic to the secondary user pool. Signed-in users continue accessing their applications without re-authenticating, and registered users can sign in with their existing credentials. Authentication methods continue to work in the secondary Region, including username/password, federation with social identity and SAML/OIDC providers, and machine-to-machine authorization flows. Multi-Region replication is available as an add-on for user pools in Essentials or Plus fe

You can now deploy Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region. This new independent cloud for Europe is located entirely within the EU, designed to help customers in regulated industries and public sector organizations meet their sovereignty requirements. Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud. Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ manages the provisioning, patching, and maintenance of RabbitMQ brokers, letting you focus on building applications without managing messaging infrastructure. You can migrate existing RabbitMQ workloads without rewriting application code and benefit from the same familiar APIs and protocols. Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud supports RabbitMQ engine version 4.2 and Graviton3-based m7g instance types for high-performance messaging ranging from m7g.medium to m7g.16xlarge. To get started, see the

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides secure, enterprise-grade access to high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies, enabling you to build and scale generative AI applications. Today, Amazon Bedrock introduces a console experience designed for how customers actually build with foundation models: experiment, iterate, and scale. This is the same Amazon Bedrock service customers already use, with a refreshed workflow optimized for the bedrock-mantle endpoint, which supports the OpenAI Responses API, OpenAI Chat Completions API, and the Anthropic Messages API. The new experience makes it simple to find the right model and move quickly from evaluation to production. Customers can browse the full Amazon Bedrock model catalog, including the latest Claude, GPT, and open-weight models, and compare them side by side on capabilities, modality support, context window, an

AWS IoT Device Management adds MQTT session data to connectivity status API, enabling you to troubleshoot connectivity issues and audit connection patterns across your Internet of things (IoT) device fleet. This launch brings AWS IoT Device Management's existing connectivity status API to full parity with AWS IoT Core's recently launched GetConnection API, enabling you to retrieve detailed connection and MQTT session information for the IoT device by its thing name. In addition to the connection status, timestamp, and disconnect reason already available, you now get visibility into MQTT session timeout and session expiry values, along with optional socket level details such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, a

Amazon SageMaker Data Agent, available in SageMaker Unified Studio now supports conversation history, enabling data practitioners to maintain continuity across analytical sessions. Data analysts and data scientists can now seamlessly reference previous agent-generated code, resume multi-step analyses, and review past troubleshooting interactions within their notebooks and Query Editor workflows. With conversation history, you can pick up exactly where you left off by accessing a scrollable list of past conversations through the clock icon in the chat panel header. Each conversation includes auto-generated titles and timestamps for easy identification. Whether you're resuming complex multi-step analyses, reusing agent-generated code, or continuing troubleshooting from earlier notebook runs, conversation history keeps the context preserved. Data teams save time, eliminate rework, and move faster across concurrent projects, staying focused on insights rather than rebuilding con

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now enables you to schedule, parameterize, and orchestrate notebook runs directly from the notebook interface without managing external orchestration infrastructure. This makes it easier for customers to take notebooks from experimentation to production, automating recurring workloads such as daily reports, data quality checks, and model retraining. You can trigger on-demand background runs on dedicated compute without interrupting interactive sessions and create scheduled or recurring runs. With notebook parameterization, you can reuse a single notebook across different inputs, for example, generating shipping performance reports for multiple carriers, by defining parameters and overriding their values per schedule or on-demand run. You can also orchestrate multi-notebook workflows using the Notebook Operator in the Workflows tool, chaining notebooks so that outputs from one run feed as inputs to the next. When a scheduled or background run f

AWS Step Functions now enables you to add AI agent reasoning steps to your workflow through an optimized integration with the managed harness (currently in preview) in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service that orchestrates AWS services with built-in error handling, parallel execution, and human approval steps.
