Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments now supports Amazon RDS Proxy

Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments now supports Amazon RDS Proxy, enabling faster application recovery during switchover by eliminating DNS propagation delays. Blue/Green Deployments create a fully managed staging environment (Green) that allows you to deploy and test production changes, keeping your current production database (Blue) safe. When ready, you can switchover to the new production environment and your applications begin accessing it immediately without any configuration changes. During a Blue/Green Deployment switchover for single-Region configurations, RDS Proxy actively monitors database instances and detects when the Green environment becomes the new production environment. This allows RDS Proxy to quickly redirect connections to the Green environment, enabling faster application recovery. You don’t need to modify your drivers or change your existing application setup. Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments with Amazon RDS Proxy is available for Amazon Aurora with MySQL compatibility, Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, and Amazon RDS for MariaDB in all commercial AWS Regions where RDS Proxy is available. In a few clicks, update your databases using RDS Blue/Green Deployments via the Amazon RDS Console or Amazon CLI. To learn more, see Blue/Green Deployments overview in the Amazon RDS documentation.

Amazon OpenSearch Service supports Managed Prometheus and agent tracing

Amazon OpenSearch Service now provides a unified observability experience that brings together metrics, logs, traces, and AI agent tracing in a single interface. This release introduces native integration with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and comprehensive agent tracing capabilities, addressing the dual challenges of prohibitive costs from premium observability platforms and operational complexity from fragmented tooling. Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and Platform Engineering teams can now consolidate their observability stack without costly data duplication or constant context switching between multiple tools.
You can now query Prometheus metrics directly using native PromQL syntax alongside logs and traces in OpenSearch UI’s observability workspace—without duplicating data. Combined with new application monitoring workflows powered by RED metrics (Rate, Errors, Duration) and AI agent tracing using OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions, operations teams can correlate slow traces to application logs, overlay Prometheus metrics on service dashboards, and trace LLM agent execution—all without switching tools. This live query architecture delivers significant cost reduction compared to premium platforms while maintaining operational excellence.
The new unified observability experience is available on OpenSearch UI in 20 AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (N. California, Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm), Canada (Central), and South America (São Paulo).
To learn more, visit the OpenSearch Service observability documentation and direct query documentation.

Amazon Bedrock now supports cost allocation by IAM user and role

Amazon Bedrock now supports cost allocation by IAM principal, such as IAM users and IAM roles, in AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 (CUR 2.0) and Cost Explorer. This enables customers to understand and attribute Bedrock model inference costs across users, teams, projects, and applications. With this launch, customers can tag their IAM users and roles with attributes like team, project, or cost center, activate them as cost allocation tags, and analyze Bedrock model inference costs by the tags in Cost Explorer or at the line-item level in CUR 2.0. To get started, tag your IAM users and roles and activate them as cost allocation tags in the Billing and Cost Management console. Then create a CUR 2.0 data export and select “Include caller identity (IAM principal) allocation data” or filter by tags in Cost Explorer. This feature is available in all AWS commercial Regions where Amazon Bedrock is available. To learn more, see Using IAM principal for Cost Allocation documentation. To get started with Amazon Bedrock, visit Amazon Bedrock documentation.

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB Now Supports Customer-Defined Maintenance Windows

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now supports customer-defined maintenance windows, giving you control over when routine maintenance is performed on your InfluxDB databases. This feature is available for both InfluxDB 2 instances and InfluxDB 3 clusters across all supported editions. With this launch, you can specify a weekly maintenance window using a day-and-time format in your preferred timezone. Timestream for InfluxDB supports IANA timezone identifiers such as America/New_York, Europe/London, and Asia/Tokyo, and automatically handles Daylight Saving Time transitions so you don’t need to manually adjust your schedule. If you don’t specify a maintenance window, the service continues to manage maintenance timing automatically. You can set or update your preferred maintenance window when creating or modifying a resource using the Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. You can use Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB Customer-Defined Maintenance Windows in all Regions where Timestream for InfluxDB is offered. To get started with Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB, visit the Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB console. For more information, see the Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB documentation and pricing page.

Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager now supports tag-based dimensions

Starting today, Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager supports tag-based dimensions, enabling you to use tags from your EC2 resources to group and filter capacity metrics. EC2 Capacity Manager helps you monitor and optimize capacity usage across On-Demand Instances, Spot Instances, and Capacity Reservations. This launch also introduces Account Name as a new built-in dimension.
You can activate up to five custom tag keys — such as environment, team, or cost-center — and use them alongside built-in dimensions like Region, Instance Type, and Availability Zone to group and filter capacity metrics by tag values in the console and APIs, and include tag data as additional columns in newly created S3 data exports. Capacity Manager also includes four Capacity Manager-provided tags by default: EC2 Auto Scaling group name, EKS cluster name, EKS Kubernetes node pool, and Karpenter node pool. The new Account Name dimension makes it easier to identify accounts when analyzing cross-account capacity data across your organization.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where EC2 Capacity Manager is available. To get started, navigate to the Settings tab in Capacity Manager and choose Manage tag keys, or use the AWS CLI. To learn more, see Managing monitored tag keys in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. For more information about Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager, visit the EC2 Capacity Manager documentation.
