Amazon CloudWatch pipelines introduces new compliance and governance capabilities

Amazon CloudWatch pipelines now includes new compliance and governance capabilities to help you maintain data integrity and control access when processing logs. CloudWatch pipelines is a fully managed service that ingests, transforms, and routes log data to CloudWatch without requiring you to manage infrastructure. Because pipeline processors modify log events during transformation, organizations with audit or regulatory requirements need ways to preserve original data and track what has been changed. These new tools address those needs directly.
You can now enable a “keep original” toggle to automatically store a copy of your raw logs before any transformation takes place, ensuring the unmodified data is always available when needed. Pipelines also adds new metadata to processed log entries indicating that the log has been transformed, making it easy to distinguish between original and processed data during audits or investigations. Additionally, new IAM condition keys let administrators restrict who can create pipelines based on log source name and type, giving operators fine-grained control over pipeline creation across their organization.
These compliance and governance features are available at no additional cost. Standard CloudWatch Logs storage rates apply to both the original and transformed copies of your log data when the keep original log option is enabled. You can use these features in all AWS Regions where CloudWatch pipelines is generally available.
To get started, visit the CloudWatch Ingestion page in the Amazon CloudWatch console. To learn more, see the CloudWatch pipelines documentation.

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 RDS Blue/Green Deployments now supports Amazon RDS Proxy

Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments now supports Amazon RDS Proxy, enabling faster application recovery during switchover by eliminating DNS propagation delays. Blue/Green Deployments create a fully managed staging environment (Green) that allows you to deploy and test production changes, keeping your current production database (Blue) safe. When ready, you can switchover to the new production environment and your applications begin accessing it immediately without any configuration changes. During a Blue/Green Deployment switchover for single-Region configurations, RDS Proxy actively monitors database instances and detects when the Green environment becomes the new production environment. This allows RDS Proxy to quickly redirect connections to the Green environment, enabling faster application recovery. You don’t need to modify your drivers or change your existing application setup. Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments with Amazon RDS Proxy is available for Amazon Aurora with MySQL compatibility, Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, and Amazon RDS for MariaDB in all commercial AWS Regions where RDS Proxy is available. In a few clicks, update your databases using RDS Blue/Green Deployments via the Amazon RDS Console or Amazon CLI. To learn more, see Blue/Green Deployments overview in the Amazon RDS 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.

Amazon Bedrock now supports cost allocation by IAM user and role

Amazon Bedrock now supports cost allocation by IAM principal, such as IAM users and IAM roles, in AWS Cost and Usage Report 2.0 (CUR 2.0) and Cost Explorer. This enables customers to understand and attribute Bedrock model inference costs across users, teams, projects, and applications. With this launch, customers can tag their IAM users and roles with attributes like team, project, or cost center, activate them as cost allocation tags, and analyze Bedrock model inference costs by the tags in Cost Explorer or at the line-item level in CUR 2.0. To get started, tag your IAM users and roles and activate them as cost allocation tags in the Billing and Cost Management console. Then create a CUR 2.0 data export and select “Include caller identity (IAM principal) allocation data” or filter by tags in Cost Explorer. This feature is available in all AWS commercial Regions where Amazon Bedrock is available. To learn more, see Using IAM principal for Cost Allocation documentation.
