Amazon announces generative AI-based artifacts in Amazon Q Developer for visualizing resource and cost data

Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Q Developer artifacts in the AWS Management Console. Amazon Q artifacts is a generative AI-based user experience that enables customers to visualize resource data in tables and cost data in charts. The launch also moves the Q icon to the navigation bar and the chat panel to the left, making Amazon Q easier to access from anywhere in the AWS Management Console.
Customers can access Amazon Q artifacts by selecting the Amazon Q icon and asking questions about their AWS resources to understand the state of their resources and costs using Amazon Q artifacts. For example, on asking “List S3 buckets with tag value production”, Amazon Q displays the S3 buckets that has a tag value of production in a tabular format. Customers can then select the hyperlinks on the bucket name to view the bucket details in the S3 console. Customers can also visualize cost and billing information with charts. For example, on entering “Show me RDS costs by instance type over the last 6 months”, Q will render the response in a Q artifacts using a chart (e.g., bar graph, line chart, pie chart, or area chart). Customers can also use sample prompts in the Prompt Library in the Amazon Q chat panel to get started quickly. The artifacts are displayed in an artifact panel to the right of the Amazon Q chat panel. Users can expand Amazon Q to full-screen for a dedicated focus mode experience.

AWS Trusted Advisor now delivers more accurate unused NAT Gateway checks powered by AWS Compute Optimizer

AWS Trusted Advisor has enhanced its detection of unused NAT Gateway checks powered by AWS Compute Optimizer detection capabilities. The enhanced detection analyzes additional CloudWatch metrics over a 32-day lookback period and verifies whether NAT Gateways are associated with route tables, reducing false positives by avoiding flagging critical backup resources. This helps cost optimization teams and DevOps engineers confidently identify and remove unused NAT Gateways that incur unnecessary charges. Each recommendation includes estimated monthly cost savings, enabling you to prioritize cleanup based on monetary impact. With these recommendations, you can run regular cost audits to catch idle NAT Gateways before charges accumulate. This simplifies cleaning up resources left behind after workload migrations or decommissions. You can view and act on these recommendations in the Trusted Advisor console alongside your other cost optimization checks, or through Trusted Advisor APIs. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Trusted Advisor is supported. Organizations must be opted-in to Cost Optimization Hub and Compute Optimizer to access these enhanced recommendations. To learn more, visit the AWS Trusted Advisor documentation.
