Amazon ECS Managed Daemons now support inter-task visibility and communication

Amazon ECS Managed Daemons now support inter-task visibility and communication, enabling customers to deploy tracing, profiling, and security agents that require access to application processes and shared IPC resources on ECS Managed Instances. With this launch, you can configure two new settings in ECS daemon definitions: pidMode controls whether the daemon can see all processes on the instance, and ipcMode controls whether the daemon shares an IPC namespace with other containers on the instance. Setting either to “shared” grants the daemon access to the respective namespace; the default of “none” keeps daemons isolated from application containers and other tasks. These settings let you run process-aware and IPC-dependent agents as ECS daemons instead of embedding them as sidecars in application task definitions. ECS places exactly one daemon task per managed instance and starts daemons before application tasks, so platform teams can deploy and update agents independently with consistent coverage across all workloads. To get started, register a daemon task definition specifying pidMode or ipcMode set to “shared” using the AWS Console, CLI, CloudFormation, or AWS SDKs, then create or update a daemon with associated ECS Managed Instances capacity providers in your clusters. This feature is now available in all AWS Regions at no additional cost. For more details, refer to our documentation.

Amazon OpenSearch Service launches MCP Apps for agentic observability

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports MCP Apps, bringing observability workflows directly into compatible agentic IDEs such as Claude Desktop and VS Code. With this capability, your AI agent in local environment can investigate incidents using logs, traces, metrics, and alerts stored in OpenSearch domains, collections and Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus. You can easily review and verify the results in interactive MCP App visualizations without leaving your local environment. Each MCP App tool call returns a dual response, a concise text summary for your agent to reason over and an interactive visualization rendered in the same conversation thread for you to review. You can work alongside your observability agent from firing an alert, perform root cause analysis, exploring distributed traces, service maps, PromQL metric charts, and cross-signal correlations all within a single conversation. Available MCP App tools cover log, metrics and trace investigation, service performance, topology, dynamic visualizations, agent health, cluster health, and instrumentation scoring.
The OpenSearch MCP app experience is available is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon OpenSearch UI is offered. To get started, follow the instructions in OpenSearch Agentic observability with MCP Apps. To learn more about OpenSearch, visit Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide.

OpenAI GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 models now available in US East (N. Virginia) on Amazon Bedrock

Today, AWS announces the expanded availability of OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 models, which are now available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region on Amazon Bedrock. With GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5, you can build generative AI applications across reasoning, coding, computer use, document workflows, and long-running agentic tasks. GPT-5.5 is OpenAI’s most capable model, designed for advanced coding, research, analysis, software operation, document workflows, and long-running agentic tasks. It can understand open-ended goals, use tools, reason across longer workflows, navigate ambiguity, and carry complex tasks through to completion with less orchestration. GPT-5.4 brings frontier reasoning, coding, computer use, long-context workflows, and tool use to production applications that interpret context, interact with tools, operate software environments, and verify outputs across multiple steps. Both models support a 272K-token context window, accept text and image input, and are available through the Responses API with support for server-side and client-side tool calling, projects, and response streaming. With this launch, GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 are now available in additional AWS Regions. To get started, visit the GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 model cards in our documentation.

Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Intelligent-Tiering storage class is now available in 8 additional AWS Regions

You can now create Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems with the Intelligent-Tiering storage class in 8 additional AWS Regions across the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America.
FSx Intelligent-Tiering is built for general-purpose file workloads such as file shares, archives, media libraries, and migrations from on-premises HDD storage. It automatically moves your data across three storage tiers (Frequent Access, Infrequent Access, and Archive) based on access patterns, and an optional SSD read cache keeps your active data fast. You get high performance for active workloads and low-cost storage for everything else, paying only for what you store with no capacity to manage. With FSx Intelligent-Tiering, you can save up to 85% compared to the FSx SSD storage class and up to 20% compared to on-premises HDD-based NAS.
With this expansion, the FSx Intelligent-Tiering storage class is now available for FSx for OpenZFS file systems in the following additional AWS Regions: US West (N. California), Europe (London, Stockholm, Spain, Zurich), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Seoul), and South America (São Paulo). To learn more, visit the FSx Intelligent-Tiering page and the Amazon FSx for OpenZFS product page, and see the FSx for OpenZFS Region Table for complete regional availability information.

AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 now supports table configurations update

AWS today announces that AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 (CUR 2.0) now supports updates to data table configurations via the AWS Management Console and SDK/CLI. This capability allows customers to modify their existing exports to take advantage of new CUR 2.0 features without having to delete and recreate their exports. Previously, customers configured CUR 2.0 exports with specific table settings — including export content, time granularity, column selection, export format, and destination settings. When AWS introduces new features, such as additional columns and finer row-level granularity, existing export settings intentionally remained unchanged to protect ETL jobs that depended on a stable schema. However, customers who wanted to adopt these new capabilities and were ready for the new schema couldn’t simply update their preference in existing export. They had to delete their existing export and create a new one with the new preference. With this launch, customers can update their table configuration directly through the AWS Management Console or SDK/CLI and begin receiving exports with their updated preferences starting from the next scheduled export delivery. To learn more about this feature, see AWS Data Exports and AWS Billing and Cost Management in the AWS Cost Management User Guide.
