Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights now provides on-demand analysis for RDS for SQL Server

Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights expands the availability of its on-demand analysis experience to the RDS for SQL Server database engine. CloudWatch Database Insights is a monitoring and diagnostics solution that helps database administrators and developers optimize database performance by providing comprehensive visibility into database metrics, query analysis, and resource utilization patterns. This feature leverages machine learning models to help identify performance bottlenecks during the selected time period, and gives advice on what to do next. Previously, database administrators had to manually analyze performance data, correlate metrics, and investigate root cause. This process is time-consuming and requires deep database expertise. With this launch, you can now analyze database performance monitoring data for any time period with automated intelligence. The feature automatically compares your selected time period against normal baseline performance, identifies anomalies, and provides specific remediation advice. Through intuitive visualizations and clear explanations, you can quickly identify performance issues and receive step-by-step guidance for resolution. This automated analysis and recommendation system reduces mean-time-to-diagnosis from hours to minutes. You can get started with this feature by enabling the Advanced mode of CloudWatch Database Insights on your RDS for SQL Server databases using the RDS service console, AWS APIs, the AWS SDK, or AWS CloudFormation. Please refer to RDS documentation and Aurora documentation for information regarding the availability of Database Insights across different regions, engines and instance classes.

Amazon Connect now supports automated follow-up evaluations triggered by initial evaluation results

Amazon Connect can now automatically initiate follow-up evaluations to analyze specific situations identified during initial evaluations. For example, when an initial customer service evaluation detects customer interest in a product, Amazon Connect can automatically trigger a follow-up evaluation focused on the agent’s sales performance. This enables managers to maintain consistent evaluation standards across agent cohorts and over time, while capturing deeper insights on specific scenarios such as sales opportunities, escalations, and other critical interaction moments. This feature is available in all regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more, please visit our documentation and our webpage.

Amazon SES adds IP observability for Dedicated IP addresses (managed)

Today, Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) added visibility into the IP addresses used by Dedicated IP Addresses – Managed (DIP-M) pools. Customers can now find out the exact addresses in use when sending emails through DIP-M pools to mailbox providers. Customers can also see Microsoft Smart Network Data Services (SNDS) metrics for these IP addresses, giving them more insight into their sending reputation with Microsoft mailbox providers. This gives customers more transparency into the IP activities in DIP-M pools. Previously, customers could configure DIP-M pools to perform automatic IP allocation and warm-up in response to changes in email sending volumes. This reduced the operational overhead of managing dedicated sending channels, but customers could not easily see which IP addresses were in use by DIP-M pools. This also made it difficult to find SNDS feedback, which customers use to improve their reputation. Now, customers can see the IPs in DIP-M pools through the console, CLI, or SES API. SES also automatically creates CloudWatch Metrics for SNDS information on each IP address, which customers can access through the CloudWatch console or APIs. This gives customers more tools to monitor their sending reputation. SES supports DIP-M IP observability in all AWS Regions where SES is available. For more information, see the documentation for information about DIP-M pools.

AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) now supports Slurm v25.05

AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) now supports Slurm v25.05. You can now create AWS PCS clusters running the newer Slurm v25.05. The release of Slurm v25.05 in PCS provides new Slurm functionalities including enhanced multi-cluster sackd configuration and improved requeue behavior for instance launch failures. With this release, login nodes can now control multiple clusters without requiring sackd reconfiguration or restart. This enables administrators to pre-configure access to multiple clusters for their users. The new requeue behavior enables more resilient job scheduling by automatically retrying failed instance launches during capacity shortages, thus increasing overall cluster reliability. AWS PCS is a managed service that makes it easier for you to run and scale your high performance computing (HPC) workloads on AWS using Slurm.

AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager launches security updates notification for Windows

AWS Systems Manager announces the launch of security updates notification for Windows patching compliance, which helps customers identify security updates that are available but not approved by their patch baseline configuration. This feature introduces a new patch state called “AvailableSecurityUpdate” that reports security patches of all severity levels that are available to install on Windows instances but do not meet the approval rules in your patch baseline. As organizations grow, administrators need to maintain secure systems while controlling when patches are applied. The security updates notification helps prevent situations where customers could unintentionally leave instances unpatched when using features like ApprovalDelay with large values. By default, instances with available security updates are marked as Non-Compliant, providing a clear signal that security patches require attention. Customers can also configure this behavior through their patch baseline settings to maintain existing compliance reporting if preferred. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Systems Manager is available. To get started with security updates notification for Windows patching compliance, visit the AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager console. For more information about this feature, refer to our user documentation or update your patch baseline with the details here. There are no additional charges for using this feature beyond standard AWS Systems Manager pricing.
