Amazon OpenSearch Service introduces agentic AI for log analytics

Amazon OpenSearch Service now offers agentic AI capabilities that enable engineering and support teams to analyze log data through an agentic conversational interface. These agentic AI features help simplify log querying and accelerate incident investigations by allowing teams to interact with data using natural language, plan and initiate autonomous root cause analysis, and persist conversation as they navigate through their Observability workspace in OpenSearch UI. This launch introduces three key capabilities available at no additional cost (token-based usage limits apply). Agentic chat enables you to ask questions in natural language to analyze data, generate and iterate Piped Processing Language (PPL) queries in Discover, and analyze visualizations for insights. When deeper root cause analysis is needed, you can trigger the investigation agent to autonomously and iteratively plan for the investigation, execute queries, reflect on results, and then deliver structured root cause hypotheses ranked by likelihood with full transparency into its reasoning. With agent memory, you can seamlessly continue your conversation across different feature pages or in a new web session. You can use the agentic AI features in the following AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Spain), Europe (Ireland), US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon). To learn more, see Agentic AI in Amazon OpenSearch Service.

AWS launches Sustainability console for carbon emissions tracking

AWS launches the AWS Sustainability console, a free, standalone service that shows customers their environmental impact associated with their AWS usage. Expanding on the features from the Customer Carbon Footprint Tool (CCFT) in the AWS Billing console, this new service addresses a critical access barrier by enabling sustainability professionals to view carbon emissions data without requiring billing permissions. Organizations can now ensure the right teams have access to the environmental data. Like the CCFT, the AWS Sustainability console provides customers their estimated carbon emissions from using AWS, calculated using both market-based (MBM) and location-based (LBM) methods and available by AWS Region, service, and emissions scope (1, 2, 3). The console also delivers additional capabilities including improved customizable visualizations, the ability to set which month your fiscal year starts, customizable CSV reports, and API/SDK access for seamless integration of emissions data into existing reporting workflows.
The AWS Sustainability service is now available in the US East (N. Virginia) region and provides carbon emissions data for all AWS commercial regions. Access the service globally through the AWS Management Console.

Amazon ECS Managed Instances now supports Amazon EC2 instance store

Amazon ECS Managed Instances now supports Amazon EC2 instance store volumes as a data volume option for container workloads. You can now leverage instance store volumes on your ECS container instances instead of provisioning an Amazon EBS data volume, reducing storage costs and accelerating I/O performance for latency-sensitive workloads. Amazon ECS Managed Instances is a fully managed compute option designed to eliminate infrastructure management overhead, dynamically scale EC2 instances to match your workload requirements, and continuously optimize task placement to reduce infrastructure costs. With today’s launch, you can enable local storage by configuring a custom ECS Managed Instances capacity provider and selecting the desired Amazon EC2 instance types that include instance store volumes. When an instance lacks instance store volumes or when local storage is disabled, Amazon ECS automatically provisions an Amazon EBS data volume. Support for instance store is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon ECS Managed Instances is available. To learn more about local storage support, visit the documentation. To learn more about Amazon ECS Managed Instances, visit the feature page, documentation, and AWS News launch blog.
