Amazon OpenSearch UI now supports one-click dashboard migration

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports one-click migration from legacy OpenSearch Dashboards to OpenSearch UI, for both OpenSearch domains and serverless collections. OpenSearch UI is the new, zero-downtime, serverless interface for search and unified observability across multiple data sources. With this launch, the multiple tenants and thousands of saved objects you created in legacy OpenSearch Dashboards become reusable in your OpenSearch UI applications, reducing the operational complexity of moving between interfaces.
With one-click migration, you can move your existing tenants and saved objects into OpenSearch UI workspaces without recreating them manually. The mechanism works for OpenSearch Dashboards created under Amazon OpenSearch Service domains and serverless collections. You can migrate everything into a new workspace or into an existing one. If you have created multiple tenants in your OpenSearch Dashboard, you have the option to either convert them into a single workspace or keep them separate for different teams.  
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where OpenSearch UI is available. To get started, see Using OpenSearch UI in the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide. Visit the OpenSearch UI Help page for detailed feature tutorials. To learn more about the service, see the Amazon OpenSearch Service product page.

Amazon EC2 now surfaces the public SSM parameters associated with public AMIs

Amazon EC2 now surfaces the AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Parameter Store parameters associated with public AMIs directly in the AMI metadata. When you describe a public AMI, the response includes the associated public SSM parameter, making it easy to discover and reference in your configurations.
Previously, finding the SSM parameter associated with a public AMI required searching through SSM parameter namespaces manually. Now, when you describe a public AMI, the response includes the public SSM parameter it is associated with. This allows you to discover the SSM parameter for a public AMI easily and use it as an alias that always resolves to the latest version, simplifying AMI updates across your infrastructure. This capability is available to all customers at no additional cost in all AWS regions including AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more, please visit the documentation.

Amazon S3 Event Notifications now include system-generated tags

Amazon S3 Event Notifications now include system-generated tags in events delivered to all destinations including Amazon EventBridge, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, and AWS Lambda. System-generated tags are metadata labels attached to your bucket by AWS services. You can use these tags to filter events from thousands of buckets with a single EventBridge rule, instead of listing each bucket name individually. To get started, enable S3 Event Notifications on your general purpose buckets through the AWS Management Console, AWS SDK, or AWS CLI. If AWS services like AWS CloudFormation have already applied system-generated tags to your buckets, S3 automatically includes them in new event notifications. System-generated tags in S3 Event Notifications are available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions and require no changes to existing configurations. To learn more, visit the S3 Event Notifications documentation.

PostgreSQL 19 Beta 2 is now available in Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment

Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL 19 Beta 2 is now available in the Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment, allowing you to evaluate the pre-release of PostgreSQL 19 on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. You can deploy PostgreSQL 19 Beta 2 in the Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment that has the benefits of a fully managed database. PostgreSQL 19 introduces parallel autovacuum with configurable worker limits, so routine maintenance no longer bottlenecks large databases. The new REPACK CONCURRENTLY command rebuilds tables and reclaims storage online, keeping production databases accessible without third-party extensions. Native SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ) let you express relationship traversals directly in standard SQL, eliminating separate application logic. Logical replication now synchronizes sequence values automatically and can be enabled dynamically without a server restart, reducing planned downtime. Beta 2 adds bug fixes and stability improvements from the Beta 1 testing period, including refinements to parallel autovacuum worker coordination and REPACK CONCURRENTLY lock handling. Please refer to PostgreSQL community announcement for more details. Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment database instances are retained for a maximum period of 60 days and are automatically deleted after the retention period. Amazon RDS database snapshots that are created in the preview environment can only be used to create or restore database instances within the preview environment. You can use the PostgreSQL dump and load functionality to import or export your databases from the preview environment. Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment database instances are priced as per the pricing in the US East (Ohio) Region.
