Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights adds 23 new query commands and functions

Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights query language now supports 23 new commands and functions that give you new ways to query, parse, transform, and analyze your logs. Customers analyzing logs in CloudWatch Logs Insights often need to do conditional processing, string conversions, process IP addresses, parse different file formats, and execute complex stats commands. With this launch, CloudWatch Logs Insights provides new hash functions (md5, sha256), string functions (strcontains supporting case-insensitive search, split), conditional logic (if statement), and conversion functions (toNumber, toInt, toLong, toDouble). It also adds IP functions (ipv4ToNumber, isPrivateIP, isPublicIP, isReservedIP), analytics functions (rate, count_over_time, sum_over_time, offset, histogram), and parse functions (parse CSV, parse XML, parse multi, values, addtotals). Additionally, queries now support “limit any N” to fetch the first N results, and can use up to 10 stats commands. These commands and functions are available today in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more, see the Amazon CloudWatch Logs documentation.

Amazon DocumentDB now supports engine minor version starting with 5.0.1

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports engine minor versions, starting with 5.0.1. This release delivers enhanced aggregation capabilities with new operators ($rand, $pow, $dateToParts, $dateFromParts), the active connections metric to monitor instances, and granular command-level performance metrics in CloudWatch (find, insert, findAndModify, update, etc.). For a full list of what’s included, see release notes. Minor versions provide new features and bug fixes within the same major version, giving you more control over when and how you upgrade your clusters. We recommend upgrading to the latest minor version to benefit from these performance enhancements, bug fixes, and new capabilities. You can specify minor version 5.0.1 when creating a new cluster, or manually upgrade an existing 5.0.0 cluster to 5.0.1 using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI (via the modify-db-cluster command with –engine-version 5.0.1). Once you upgrade to a newer minor version, you cannot downgrade back to a previous minor version. Upgrading from 5.0.0 (LTS) to 5.0.1 gives you access to the latest features and fixes, but you will no longer be on the LTS track. If minimizing upgrades is your priority, you should remain on LTS. For more information, see Using a long-term support (LTS) release. Amazon DocumentDB engine minor version 5.0.1 is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 is available. Learn more about minor version upgrades and version support dates in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide. Create or update a fully managed Amazon DocumentDB cluster in the Amazon DocumentDB Management Console.

Amazon MSK Express Brokers now support automatic topic creation with Kafka Streams

Effective today, Amazon MSK Express Brokers support automatic topic creation with Kafka Streams. Customers can now deploy their Kafka Streams applications on Express Brokers without needing to manually pre-create or manage topics for stateful operations. MSK Express Brokers are designed to deliver up to three times more throughput per broker, scale up to 20 times faster, and reduce recovery time by 90 percent. Kafka Streams uses topics to store state and repartition data for stateful operations. Previously, customers running Kafka Streams with Express Brokers had to manually name and pre-create these topics before deploying their application. With this launch, these topics are created automatically when the application starts, simplifying deployment and reducing operational setup for Kafka Streams applications on Express Brokers. This capability is available today in all AWS regions where MSK Express Brokers are available. No additional configuration or setup is required to get started. To learn more, see Amazon MSK Developer Guide.

AWS Compute Optimizer now supports idle recommendations for six additional resource types

AWS Compute Optimizer now identifies idle resources for Amazon DynamoDB provisioned tables, Amazon ElastiCache (Redis and Valkey), Amazon MemoryDB, Amazon DocumentDB (provisioned and serverless), Amazon WorkSpaces, and Amazon SageMaker endpoints. This expansion enables you to detect unused resources across more of your AWS environment and identify potential cost savings.
Compute Optimizer analyzes utilization metrics to determine whether a resource is idle. Customers can set this lookback period based on the nature of their workloads. For each resource type, Compute Optimizer evaluates service-specific signals such as consumed capacity, cache hits, active connections, and CPU utilization. When Compute Optimizer identifies potential idle resources, it surfaces these recommendations, along with detailed utilization metrics and estimated savings in the console, enabling you to evaluate recommendations before acting. You can also view idle resource recommendations across all AWS accounts in your organization through the Cost Optimization Hub, with de-duplicated estimated savings with other recommendations on the same resources.
For more information about the AWS Regions where Compute Optimizer is available, see the AWS Region table. For more information about AWS Compute Optimizer, visit our product page and documentation. You can start using AWS Compute Optimizer through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, and AWS SDK.

AWS Cost Explorer launches intelligent cost explanations powered by Amazon Q

AWS Cost Explorer now supports ‘Analyze with Amazon Q’, a new capability that delivers comprehensive cost explanations for any report you configure in Cost Explorer. With a single button click you now can receive detailed analysis from Amazon Q Developer covering your cost trends, top cost drivers, and anomalies. All analysis uses your exact filters and time-period and provides guidance to discover optimization opportunities through follow-up questions.
Previously, cost analysis required manual investigation across multiple filters and data points. With ‘Analyze with Amazon Q’, you simply configure your Cost Explorer view and click a single button. Amazon Q analyzes your current context and delivers explanations directly in its chat panel, adapting to what you’re viewing: historical explanations for past dates, forecast explanations for future dates, or both for mixed periods. You can then ask follow-up questions to explore any insights related to your cost data in greater detail as Amazon Q maintains full conversation context throughout.
‘Analyze with Amazon Q’ is available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional charge. To get started, visit the AWS Cost Explorer console, or view the user guide.
