Amazon Connect Customer now lets you view metrics by customer lifetime value and repeat-caller status

Now you can view your metrics across customer segments: customer lifetime value (LTV) and repeat callers. See how any metric differs for repeat callers versus the rest of your contacts, or how results hold up among your highest-LTV customers; so you can spot the groups trending the wrong way before it shows up in the aggregate. Where a segment is underperforming, you can act. Route high-LTV customers to your most effective people, adjust the knowledge bases and self-service flows that repeat callers are falling back from, or refine agent guidance for segments where satisfaction is slipping. The segment tells you where to look; the metrics tell you what to fix.

Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances now supports ModifyVolume API

Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances now supports the ModifyVolume API, which lets you change volume size, volume type, IOPS, or throughput in place, without detaching the volume or restarting the instance. Previously, changing storage capacity or performance on a deployed managed instance required rebuilding it.
With ModifyVolume, you can increase volume size up to 16,384 GiB, switch between supported Amazon EBS volume types, adjust IOPS for gp3, io1, and io2 volumes, and modify throughput for gp3 volumes. The API supports idempotency tokens to prevent duplicate changes, and you can track progress with the Amazon EC2 DescribeVolumesModifications operation.
ModifyVolume is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances is available.
To get started, call ModifyVolume directly, or use it through your WorkSpaces Core partner solution once available. To learn more, see ModifyVolume in the WorkSpaces Instances API Reference and Limitations in the Amazon EBS User Guide, or visit WorkSpaces Core.

Amazon Connect Customer Global Resiliency now supports persistent chat across linked AWS Regions

Amazon Connect Customer Global Resiliency now provides customers a mechanism to deliver long, persistent chat experiences across linked AWS Regions. With this capability, end users can resume previous conversations with full context, metadata, and transcripts carried over across Regions, eliminating the need for end users to repeat information and allowing agents to provide personalized service with access to the entire conversation history across AWS Regions.
For example, an end user can start a chat in US-East (N. Virginia) and later come back to it in the linked US-West (Oregon) Region, continuing the same conversation with an agent with full conversation history and chat attachment. To adopt this capability, onboard to Global routing.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect Customer Global Resiliency is supported. To learn more, visit Amazon Connect Customer Admin Guide.

Web Search on AWS Bedrock now supports domain filtering and user location controls

Web Search on AWS Bedrock now supports two new controls that give you more precision over the results that ground a model’s response: domain filtering and user location. Both are configured directly on the web_search tool in your existing OpenAI Responses API request.
With domain filtering, you can restrict Web Search results to a set of domains you choose. Using the filters parameter, you specify up to 100 allowed_domains to limit results to trusted sources, or up to 100 blocked_domains to exclude sources you don’t want. This is useful when you want responses grounded only in specific sites, or when you need to keep certain domains out of results.
With user location, you can optionally specify location parameters so that Web Search can return results relevant to that geography. This helps with location-dependent questions, such as regional availability or local services.
Domain filtering and user location are available in all AWS Regions where Web Search is supported: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and AWS GovCloud (US-West). To get started, see the Web Search section in the AWS Bedrock User Guide. For pricing, see the AWS Bedrock pricing page.

AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN now support 1:1 NAT

AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN now provide managed one-to-one network address translation (NAT) directly on their attachments, through integration with Regional Private NAT Gateway. This enables customers to connect private networks that share the same IP address ranges without renumbering either network, deploying a NAT appliance, or writing return-traffic rules.
Networks with overlapping Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks have long been unable to communicate, a common blocker during mergers and acquisitions, when connecting partner networks over AWS Site-to-Site VPN, in multicloud connectivity, and when independently provisioned VPCs need to interconnect. Using this capability, customers can define address-translation rules on a AWS Transit Gateway or AWS Cloud WAN attachment, specifying the private IP range each source CIDR translates to, across Amazon VPC, AWS Site-to-Site VPN, AWS Direct Connect, and SD-WAN appliances connected through Transit Gateway Connect. Both services apply translation automatically in both directions, with no separate return-traffic rule and no NAT appliance to deploy. AWS operates, scales, and manages the NAT capability as part of the attachment. For example, if a customer acquires a business and both VPCs use 10.0.0.0/16, they translate one VPC’s addresses to a non-overlapping range on its attachment and connect the networks immediately. Customers set it up in minutes using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS SDKs, and AWS CloudFormation, and monitor translated traffic through Amazon CloudWatch metrics and Amazon EventBridge events.
AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN offer 1:1 NAT through Regional Private NAT Gateway in all AWS commercial regions where they operate. For full pricing details, see  Amazon VPC pricing . To learn more, see the  AWS Transit Gateway  and  AWS Cloud WAN  product pages, and the AWS Transit Gateway  and AWS Cloud WAN  documentation.

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless now supports a 5-second default refresh interval

Starting today, Amazon OpenSearch Serverless reduces the default refresh interval to 5 seconds for both search and vector collections. The refresh interval controls how quickly newly ingested documents become available for search. By lowering the default from 10 seconds to 5 seconds, newly written data becomes searchable faster, giving applications quicker read-after-write visibility automatically, with no configuration changes and no action required on your part.
This improvement applies to the next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless and takes effect by default on both search and vector collections. Faster refresh is valuable for workloads that continuously ingest data and need near real-time retrieval, including full-text search over frequently updated content as well as vector use cases such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and recommendation and personalization systems. This means applications and AI agents can retrieve and act on the most recently ingested data sooner, improving the relevance and accuracy of search results and RAG responses for datasets that change frequently.
The 5-second default refresh interval is available in all 24 regions where Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is available today. To learn more, see the Amazon OpenSearch Serverless documentation.
