AWS DMS Schema Conversion adds SAP (Sybase) ASE to PostgreSQL support with generative AI

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) Schema Conversion is a fully managed feature of DMS that automatically assesses and converts database schemas to formats compatible with AWS target database services. Today, we’re excited to announce that Schema Conversion now supports conversions from SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) database (formerly known as Sybase) to Amazon RDS PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, powered by Generative AI capability. Using Schema Conversion, you can automatically convert database objects from your SAP (Sybase) ASE source to an to Amazon RDS PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL target. The integrated generative AI capability intelligently handles complex code conversions that typically require manual effort, such as stored procedures, functions, and triggers. Schema Conversion also provides detailed assessment reports to help you plan and execute your migration effectively. To learn more about this feature, see the documentation for using SAP (Sybase) ASE as a source for AWS DMS Schema Conversion and using SAP (Sybase) ASE as a source for AWS DMS for data migration. For details about the generative AI capability, please refer to the User Guide. For AWS DMS Schema Conversion regional availability, please refer to the Supported AWS Regions page.

AWS IAM enables identity federation to external services using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs)

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) announces outbound identity federation, enabling customers to securely federate their AWS identities to external services using short-lived JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). This allows customers to securely authenticate their AWS workloads with third-party cloud providers, SaaS providers, and self-hosted applications without using long-term credentials or implementing complex workarounds. Customers can now exchange their AWS IAM credentials for cryptographically signed, short-lived JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), providing a simple and secure mechanism for AWS workloads to access external services. These tokens contain rich context about the AWS workloads, enabling external services to implement fine-grained access control. Administrators can control access to token generation and enforce token properties (such as lifetime, audience and signing algorithms) using IAM policies and audit token usage using CloudTrail logs, allowing them to meet their organization’s security and compliance requirements. This capability is available in all AWS commercial Regions, AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and China Regions. To get started, visit the list of resources below:

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns supports ring time configuration for unanswered calls

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns now offers campaign managers the ability to configure how long voice calls should ring—between a range of 15 and 60 seconds—before marking a call as “no answer” and moving to the next contact. Each contact also records when ringing began and ended for precise reporting and traceability. When ring duration is static, businesses struggle to balance calling efficiency and customer reach. Calls that ring too briefly may miss customers who take longer to answer, while excessive ring times delay overall campaign pacing. This lack of control leads to inconsistent contact rates and reduced agent productivity. With configurable ring time, campaign managers can tune dialing behavior to their audience for each campaign, use analytics to see exactly how long each call rang, and understand where connections were missed. This visibility helps identify patterns, refine calling strategies, and continuously improve campaign effectiveness. With Amazon Connect outbound campaigns, companies pay-as-they-go for campaign processing and channel usage. This feature is available in AWS regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London). To learn more about configuring ring time for campaigns, visit our webpage.

Amazon ECR introduces archive storage class for rarely accessed container images

Amazon ECR now offers a new archive storage class to reduce storage costs for large volumes of rarely accessed container images. The new archive storage class helps you meet your compliance and retention requirements while optimizing storage cost. As part of this launch, ECR lifecycle policies now support archiving images based on last pull time, allowing you to use lifecycle rules to automatically archive images based on usage patterns. To get started, you can archive images by configuring lifecycle rules to automatically archive images based on criteria such as image age, count, or last pull time, or using the ECR Console or API to archive images individually. You can archive an unlimited number of images. Archived images do not count against your image per repository limit. Once the images are archived, they are no longer accessible for pulls, but can be easily restored via ECR Console, CLI, or API within 20 minutes. Once restored, images can be pulled normally. All archival and restore operations are logged through CloudTrail for auditability. The new ECR archive storage class is available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For pricing, visit the pricing page. To learn more, visit the documentation.

Amazon OpenSearch Service launches Cluster Insights for improved operational visibility

Amazon OpenSearch Service now includes Cluster Insights, a monitoring solution that provides comprehensive operational visibility of your clusters through a single dashboard. This eliminates the complexity of having to analyze and correlate various logs and metrics to identify potential risks to cluster availability or performance. The solution automates the consolidation of critical operational data across nodes, indices, and shards, transforming complex troubleshooting into a streamlined process. When investigating performance issues like slow search queries, Cluster Insights displays relevant performance metrics, affected cluster resources, top-N query analysis, and specific remediation steps in one comprehensive view. The solution operates through OpenSearch UI’s resilient architecture, maintaining monitoring capabilities even during cluster unavailability. Users gain immediate access to account-level cluster summaries, enabling efficient management of multiple deployments. Cluster Insights is available at no additional cost for OpenSearch version 2.17 or later in all Regions where OpenSearch UI is available. View the complete list of supported Regions here. To learn more about Cluster Insights, refer to our technical documentation.
