Run Interactive Workloads on Amazon EMR Serverless with Spark Connect

Amazon EMR Serverless now supports interactive sessions with Spark Connect, enabling you to develop and run Apache Spark applications from managed notebooks in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, as well as your favorite notebook environments and IDEs such as Jupyter and Visual Studio Code. You can also monitor and debug active and completed sessions in the EMR console, and get granular cost and usage visibility for individual sessions. 
 
An interactive session provides a persistent Spark context that seamlessly spans across cells and scripts, enabling you to blend local Python code execution with remote Spark operations within a unified environment. This is enabled by Spark Connect’s client-server architecture, which decouples your application client from the Spark driver and allows you to maintain your preferred development environment and tooling while Spark infrastructure runs independently on EMR Serverless. This architecture unlocks workflows including ad hoc data exploration, iterative step-by-step debugging, and incremental PySpark job development before deploying to production.  For observability, you get real-time session monitoring via the Spark UI, history tracking through the Spark History Server, and session management from the EMR console or API/CLI/SDK.
 
Spark Connect on Amazon EMR Serverless is available with EMR release 7.13 in all AWS Regions where Amazon EMR Serverless is available. The SageMaker Unified Studio experience is available in supported regions. To get started, visit the EMR Serverless Interactive Sessions User Guide or the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio Getting Started guide.

Amazon DocumentDB now supports engine minor version starting with 5.0.1

Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports engine minor versions, starting with 5.0.1. This release delivers enhanced aggregation capabilities with new operators ($rand, $pow, $dateToParts, $dateFromParts), the active connections metric to monitor instances, and granular command-level performance metrics in CloudWatch (find, insert, findAndModify, update, etc.). For a full list of what’s included, see release notes. Minor versions provide new features and bug fixes within the same major version, giving you more control over when and how you upgrade your clusters. We recommend upgrading to the latest minor version to benefit from these performance enhancements, bug fixes, and new capabilities. You can specify minor version 5.0.1 when creating a new cluster, or manually upgrade an existing 5.0.0 cluster to 5.0.1 using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI (via the modify-db-cluster command with –engine-version 5.0.1). Once you upgrade to a newer minor version, you cannot downgrade back to a previous minor version. Upgrading from 5.0.0 (LTS) to 5.0.1 gives you access to the latest features and fixes, but you will no longer be on the LTS track. If minimizing upgrades is your priority, you should remain on LTS. For more information, see Using a long-term support (LTS) release. Amazon DocumentDB engine minor version 5.0.1 is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 is available. Learn more about minor version upgrades and version support dates in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide. Create or update a fully managed Amazon DocumentDB cluster in the Amazon DocumentDB Management Console.

Amazon MSK Express Brokers now support automatic topic creation with Kafka Streams

Effective today, Amazon MSK Express Brokers support automatic topic creation with Kafka Streams. Customers can now deploy their Kafka Streams applications on Express Brokers without needing to manually pre-create or manage topics for stateful operations. MSK Express Brokers are designed to deliver up to three times more throughput per broker, scale up to 20 times faster, and reduce recovery time by 90 percent. Kafka Streams uses topics to store state and repartition data for stateful operations. Previously, customers running Kafka Streams with Express Brokers had to manually name and pre-create these topics before deploying their application. With this launch, these topics are created automatically when the application starts, simplifying deployment and reducing operational setup for Kafka Streams applications on Express Brokers. This capability is available today in all AWS regions where MSK Express Brokers are available. No additional configuration or setup is required to get started. To learn more, see Amazon MSK Developer Guide.

AWS Compute Optimizer now supports idle recommendations for six additional resource types

AWS Compute Optimizer now identifies idle resources for Amazon DynamoDB provisioned tables, Amazon ElastiCache (Redis and Valkey), Amazon MemoryDB, Amazon DocumentDB (provisioned and serverless), Amazon WorkSpaces, and Amazon SageMaker endpoints. This expansion enables you to detect unused resources across more of your AWS environment and identify potential cost savings.
Compute Optimizer analyzes utilization metrics to determine whether a resource is idle. Customers can set this lookback period based on the nature of their workloads. For each resource type, Compute Optimizer evaluates service-specific signals such as consumed capacity, cache hits, active connections, and CPU utilization. When Compute Optimizer identifies potential idle resources, it surfaces these recommendations, along with detailed utilization metrics and estimated savings in the console, enabling you to evaluate recommendations before acting. You can also view idle resource recommendations across all AWS accounts in your organization through the Cost Optimization Hub, with de-duplicated estimated savings with other recommendations on the same resources.
For more information about the AWS Regions where Compute Optimizer is available, see the AWS Region table. For more information about AWS Compute Optimizer, visit our product page and documentation. You can start using AWS Compute Optimizer through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, and AWS SDK.

Amazon Redshift reduces manual snapshot cost for Serverless and RG instances

Amazon Redshift announces a new billing model for manual snapshots on Amazon Redshift Serverless and Amazon Redshift RG instances. With this enhancement, Amazon Redshift now meters manual snapshot storage based on the unique data blocks stored across your snapshots rather than the total size of each individual snapshot. This results in lower manual snapshot costs for customers who maintain multiple snapshots. Customers who maintain multiple manual snapshots for disaster recovery, testing, or long-term retention will see reduced storage costs. With this new billing model, you can take more frequent manual snapshots to achieve a better recovery point objective (RPO) without proportional cost increases, enabling more robust disaster recovery strategies. The new billing model automatically applies to both existing and new manual snapshots. The new manual snapshot billing model is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon Redshift Serverless and Amazon Redshift RG instances are available. To learn more about Amazon Redshift snapshots, please visit our documentation or the blog.
