AWS Deadline Cloud supports monitor creation in multiple regions

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud announces support for creating monitors in multiple AWS Regions without additional configuration of your IAM Identity Center instance. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that helps creative teams manage and scale their rendering workloads in the cloud. You can now deploy render farms with monitors across multiple Regions without needing to adjust your existing IAM Identity Center configuration. You can operate more efficiently by placing rendering resources in regions closest to your artists and studios worldwide, and can run and compare workloads across regions to help optimize your rendering strategy or diversify your instance types. Deadline Cloud automatically routes authentication requests to your IAM Identity Center instance in its primary Region, so your identity data remains in place without replication and requires no changes to your identity management setup. To learn more, see Getting Started with Deadline Cloud in the AWS Deadline Cloud User Guide.

Amazon CloudWatch pipelines now supports drop and conditional processing

Amazon CloudWatch pipelines now supports conditional processing and a new drop events processor, giving you more control over how your log data is transformed. CloudWatch pipelines is a fully managed service that ingests, transforms, and routes log data to CloudWatch without requiring you to manage infrastructure. Until now, processors applied to all log entries uniformly. With conditional processing, you can define rules that determine when a processor runs and which individual log entries it acts on, so you only transform the data that matters.
Conditional processing is available across 21 processors including Add Entries, Delete Entries, Copy Values, Grok, Rename Key, and more. For each processor, you can set a “run when” condition to skip the entire processor if the condition is not met, or an entry-level condition to control whether each individual action within the processor is applied. The new Drop Events processor lets you filter out unwanted log entries from third-party pipeline connectors based on conditions you define, helping reduce noise and lower costs.
Conditional processing and the Drop Events processor are available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where CloudWatch pipelines is generally available. Standard CloudWatch Logs ingestion and storage rates still apply.
To get started, visit the CloudWatch pipelines page in the Amazon CloudWatch console. To learn more, see the CloudWatch pipelines documentation.

Amazon OpenSearch Service supports Managed Prometheus and agent tracing

Amazon OpenSearch Service now provides a unified observability experience that brings together metrics, logs, traces, and AI agent tracing in a single interface. This release introduces native integration with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and comprehensive agent tracing capabilities, addressing the dual challenges of prohibitive costs from premium observability platforms and operational complexity from fragmented tooling. Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and Platform Engineering teams can now consolidate their observability stack without costly data duplication or constant context switching between multiple tools.
You can now query Prometheus metrics directly using native PromQL syntax alongside logs and traces in OpenSearch UI’s observability workspace—without duplicating data. Combined with new application monitoring workflows powered by RED metrics (Rate, Errors, Duration) and AI agent tracing using OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions, operations teams can correlate slow traces to application logs, overlay Prometheus metrics on service dashboards, and trace LLM agent execution—all without switching tools. This live query architecture delivers significant cost reduction compared to premium platforms while maintaining operational excellence.
The new unified observability experience is available on OpenSearch UI in 20 AWS regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (N. California, Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm), Canada (Central), and South America (São Paulo).
To learn more, visit the OpenSearch Service observability documentation and direct query documentation.
