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.

AWS Transform for mainframe now delivers a traceable reimagine workflow

AWS Transform for mainframe now delivers a connected, traceable reimagine experience from assessment through code generation. Previously, modernizing mainframe applications required months of analysis across multiple tools for discovery, reverse engineering, and code generation with manual handoffs between phases. With this launch, enterprises running z/OS COBOL and PL/I workloads can assess their portfolio to identify the discrete business functions, extract business rules, generate development-ready requirements, and produce traceable cloud-native code in a single connected workflow.
The experience starts with a portfolio assessment, where AWS Transform systematically identifies and catalogs discrete business functions. Selected business functions flow directly into the reimagine workflow, creating a connected path from portfolio analysis through code generation. For each business function, AWS Transform generates development-ready requirements with full traceability, flowing directly into Kiro and other IDEs through MCP-based integrations. Teams can generate interactive documentation for any requirement or code directly in the IDE. Every requirement traces back to the source code, so teams can audit any transformation decision back to its origin. This end-to-end approach compresses what previously took years of manual effort into months of automated, evidence-based modernization.
These capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform for mainframe is available. For more information, see the AWS Region table.
To learn more, visit AWS Transform for mainframe or see the AWS Transform for mainframe documentation.

Amazon S3 Vectors now supports up to 10,000 similarity search results per query

Amazon S3 Vectors can now return up to 10,000 similarity search results per query, a 100x increase from the previous limit. The higher result limit helps you retrieve a larger, more comprehensive set of candidates during similarity queries. This is especially valuable for applications with multi-stage retrieval pipelines that need to apply additional processing such as reranking, aggregations, or deduplication to produce a more relevant final result set.
To get started with the higher limit, use the latest AWS SDK and update your application code to specify up to 10,000 relevant results (topK nearest neighbors) when making a QueryVectors API request. Query results are now returned across multiple pages, and you can start processing the first page immediately while retrieving additional pages as needed. For queries that return larger result sets, you pay a small data-returned fee based on the total size of results returned. The first 512 KB of data returned per query is free. For full pricing details, visit the S3 pricing page.
S3 Vectors supports retrieving up to 10,000 results per query in all AWS Regions where it is available. To learn more about S3 Vectors, visit the product page and S3 User Guide.

AWS Transform now supports model-to-model migration assessment for generative AI workloads

AWS Transform now offers a model-to-model migration custom transformation that assesses your generative AI workloads and produces a comprehensive migration plan for moving from third-party providers to Amazon Bedrock. The AI-powered agent scans your codebase, identifies every AI SDK and model in use, gathers your migration requirements through interactive questions, and maps models to Bedrock equivalents with transparent cost comparisons and production-ready code changes. This managed custom transformation helps organizations consolidate their AI workloads on AWS to gain IAM-based security, VPC endpoint isolation, prompt caching, Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, and unified operational tooling through Amazon CloudWatch.   The transformation supports migrations from OpenAI, Google Gemini, direct Anthropic SDK usage, and open-source models via LiteLLM or Ollama. It handles direct SDK integrations, framework-wrapped patterns such as LangChain and LlamaIndex, agentic architectures including CrewAI and LangGraph, and multi-provider routing layers — preserving your application architecture while swapping only the model layer. The agent includes intelligent cost optimization with tiered model routing recommendations, prompt caching analysis, and model lifecycle awareness that excludes models within 90 days of end-of-life from all recommendations. For some workloads, it recommends Amazon Bedrock’s OpenAI-compatible endpoints as a zero-code-change migration path.
AWS Transform model-to-model migration is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform is offered, at no additional charge beyond standard AWS Transform pricing. To get started, install the ATX CLI and run the mke-genai-model-migration custom transformation against your codebase. To learn more, see the AWS Transform Custom Transformations documentation and the announcement blog.

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails announces a new API targeting agentic AI workflows

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails now offers the InvokeGuardrailChecks API, a new resourceless API that lets you apply individual safeguards at any point in your agentic AI applications without creating guardrail resources. The API provides granular, per-request control over which safeguards to run at each step of your agent loop, returning numeric severity and confidence scores so you can implement custom thresholds and actions, whether to block, pass, retry, or log based on your specific requirements.
Agentic AI applications operate through iterative loops; planning tasks, calling tools, processing outputs, and iterating again while often executing dozens of steps for a single request. Each step carries a different risk profile, making a one-size-fits-all guardrail difficult to scale. The InvokeGuardrailChecks API addresses this by operating in detect-only mode with no guardrail IDs to track and no versions to manage. You specify which safeguards to run directly in each request, making it straightforward to add, remove, or adjust checks as your workflows evolve.
The API supports content filters (detecting harmful content across categories including hate, violence, sexual, insults, and misconduct), prompt attack detection (identifying jailbreak, prompt injection, and prompt leakage as independent standalone checks), and sensitive information filters (detecting supported PII entity types). Prompt attack detection is exposed as a separate safeguard, giving you the granularity to invoke each supported attack vector independently.
The InvokeGuardrailChecks API is available today in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Sydney).
To learn more, visit the Amazon Bedrock Guardrails technical documentation.

AWS Partner Central agents now accelerate co-selling on every deal

Starting today, AWS Partner Central agents qualify every co-sell opportunity in real time and make recommendations that drive AWS engagement and accelerate deal progression. Building on the AWS Partner Central agents released on March 16, 2026, the agent can act on the partner’s behalf through conversation to enrich the opportunity details. This eliminates waiting for manual review, so partners build a stronger pipeline and progress deals faster. Now, each opportunity is matched to a co-sell motion that determines AWS engagement: AWS field-engaged, where an AWS sales team collaborates directly; Agent-engaged, where the agent strengthens the submission to increase AWS engagement; and Partner-led, where the partner drives the deal with agent support. Across all motions, the agent provides customer insights, recommendations, and sales plays, and each opportunity receives an Opportunity Quality Score that measures co-sell readiness and directly influences how AWS engages. The agent recommends how to improve this score, and as the opportunity improves, the score and motion recalculate in real time, moving it closer to AWS engagement. The new enhanced experience is available today to AWS Partners in all commercial AWS Regions. To get started, log in to AWS Partner Central and access opportunity management. Partners can also use the agentic experience in native AI tools like Amazon Quick and Kiro, or through MCP in their own CRM. See the Partner Central agents MCP server guide to get started.
