Amazon Connect now provides agent scheduling metrics in data lake

Amazon Connect now provides agent scheduling metrics in data lake, making it easier for you to generate reports and insights from this data. For example, after publishing schedules for next month, you can access interval level (15 minutes or 30 minutes) metrics such as forecasted headcount, scheduled headcount, and projected service level in Connect analytics data lake. You can view aggregated metrics for an entire business unit (forecast group) or broken down by specific demand segments (demand groups). You can then visualize this data in Amazon Quick Sight or another BI tool of your choice for further analysis, such as identifying periods of over or under-staffing. This eliminates the need for manual reviews of agent schedules thus improving productivity for schedulers and supervisors. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available. To learn more about Amazon Connect agent scheduling, click here.

Amazon Bedrock introduces API keys to streamline development in GovCloud regions

API keys for Amazon Bedrock are now available in AWS GovCloud (US) regions, expanding a feature that simplifies authentication and accelerates generative AI development. Originally launched in commercial AWS regions in July 2025, API keys for Amazon Bedrock enable developers to quickly generate access credentials directly within the Amazon Bedrock console or AWS SDK without needing to manually configure IAM principals and policies. With the introduction of API keys for Amazon Bedrock, developers can generate short-term and long-term API keys directly from the Amazon Bedrock console or API to authenticate API calls to Amazon Bedrock models. Short-term API keys are valid for the duration of your console session, or up to 12 hours, whichever is shorter. Long-term API keys give you the flexibility to define key validity duration and manage the keys from the AWS IAM console. Bedrock API key authentication is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US) and commercial AWS Regions where Amazon Bedrock is available. To learn more about API keys in Amazon Bedrock, visit the API Keys documentation in the Amazon Bedrock user guide, or check out our blog for code snippets and implementation examples.
