AWS DevOps Agent adds release management capability (preview)

AWS DevOps Agent now offers a release management capability in preview, reviewing code changes for release readiness and running autonomous release testing to help you ship code to production safely and with confidence. With this addition, AWS DevOps Agent now works across both delivery and operations. It accelerates and validates the deployment of code changes, then keeps your applications running optimally across AWS, multicloud, and on-prem environments, so your team ships faster, reduces MTTR, and achieves operational excellence. With release readiness review, AWS DevOps Agent evaluates code changes for production safety during code generation by checking for drift from your internal standards, dependency impacts, and access controls. It maps cross-repository dependencies to surface breaking changes before commit and uses deterministic proofs to review that infrastructure changes do not drift from AWS Well-Architected best practices. With release testing, AWS DevOps Agent generates and runs test plans for web and API-based applications in customer-provisioned environments, catching regressions, UX issues, and integration failures a human reviewer may miss. To get started with the preview, connect your code repositories and pipelines in your AWS DevOps Agent space. AWS DevOps Agent release management is available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region and at no additional cost during the preview period. For the list of AWS Regions where AWS DevOps Agent production operations is available, see the supported Regions table. For pricing of production operations features, which are generally available, see AWS DevOps Agent pricing.

AWS HealthOmics now streams workflow engine logs to Amazon CloudWatch in real time

AWS HealthOmics now streams workflow engine logs to Amazon CloudWatch in real time, enabling customers to monitor workflow execution progress as it happens. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.
Real-time engine log streaming accelerates iterative workflow development and debugging by giving researchers, bioinformaticians, and workflow developers immediate access to execution details during a run. The streamed engine logs provide visibility into workflow orchestration events, task scheduling details, import/export activity, and full stack traces on errors — all routed into the engine log stream in real time. Customers can set up CloudWatch alarms on log patterns to detect anomalies early, build dashboards for ongoing monitoring, and integrate with existing observability tooling.
Real-time engine log streaming is now available for Nextflow, WDL, and CWL workflow runs in all AWS HealthOmics regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul).

AWS Glue Interactive Sessions now support Spark Connect for interactive workloads

AWS Glue Interactive Sessions now support Apache Spark Connect, using which you can now develop and run Apache Spark applications from your preferred environment, including managed notebooks in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, or your preferred notebook environments and IDEs like Jupyter, Visual Studio Code, while running them on AWS Glue’s serverless infrastructure without managing clusters. With Spark Connect, you submit Spark jobs to AWS Glue Interactive Sessions using a thin client architecture that decouples your client application from the Spark execution environment. This unlocks workflows like ad hoc data exploration, iterative step-by-step debugging, and incremental PySpark job development before deploying to production, all from the tools you already use. Spark Connect also simplifies upgrades and improves stability by isolating client dependencies from the server-side Spark runtime. For observability, you get real-time session monitoring via the Spark UI, history tracking through the Spark History Server, and session management using the AWS Glue API, CLI, or SDK. AWS Glue Interactive Sessions with Spark Connect is available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, Stockholm), South America (São Paulo), US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), and US West (Oregon). To get started, connect to Glue Interactive Sessions using Spark Connect from notebooks in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, your favorite IDE with a Python interpreter, or the AWS API, SDK, and CLI. To learn more, visit the AWS Glue Interactive Sessions documentation.
