Amazon Bedrock now supports observability of First Token Latency and Quota Consumption

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service for building generative AI applications using high-performing foundation models from leading AI providers. It now supports two new CloudWatch metrics, TimeToFirstToken and EstimatedTPMQuotaUsage, giving you deeper visibility into inference performance and quota consumption.
TimeToFirstToken measures the latency from when a request is sent to when the first token is received, for streaming APIs (ConverseStream and InvokeModelWithResponseStream). You can use this metric to set CloudWatch alarms which monitor latency degradation and establish SLA baselines, without any client-side instrumentation. EstimatedTPMQuotaUsage tracks your estimated Tokens Per Minute (TPM) quota consumption, including cache write tokens and output burndown multipliers, across all inference APIs (Converse, InvokeModel, ConverseStream, and InvokeModelWithResponseStream). You can use this metric to set proactive alarms before reaching your quota limit, track your quota consumption across your models, and request further quota increases before usage is rate limited.
Both metrics are supported in all commercial Bedrock regions for models available via cross-region inference profiles and in-region inference, updated every minute for successfully completed requests. These are available in your CloudWatch out of the box; you pay only for the underlying model inference you consume, with no API changes or opt-in required.
To learn more about TimeToFirstToken and EstimatedTPMQuotaUsage, see our documentation page on Monitoring Amazon Bedrock.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports stateful MCP server features

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports stateful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server features, enabling developers to build MCP servers that leverage elicitation, sampling, and progress notifications alongside existing support for resources, prompts, and tools. These capabilities allow MCP servers deployed to AgentCore Runtime to collect user input interactively during tool execution, request LLM-generated content from clients, and provide real-time progress updates for long-running operations. With stateful MCP sessions, each user session runs in a dedicated microVM with isolated resources, and the server maintains session context across multiple interactions using an Mcp-Session-Id header. Elicitation enables server-initiated, multi-turn conversations to gather information such as user preferences. Sampling allows servers to request AI-powered text generation from the client for tasks like personalized recommendations. Progress notifications keep clients informed during operations such as searching for flights or processing bookings. These features work together to support complex, interactive agent workflows that go beyond simple request-response patterns.
Stateful MCP server features are supported in AgentCore Runtime across fourteen AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), and Europe (Stockholm).
To learn more, see Stateful MCP server features in the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore documentation.

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports in-place volume increases for all volume sizes

Amazon OpenSearch Service now extends in-place cluster volume size increases to volumes exceeding 3 TiB. With this enhancement, you can scale storage capacity across all volume sizes without requiring a blue/green deployment. Previously, you could perform volume increases up to 3 TiB on your clusters without a blue/green deployment. This release removes that limitation, making it easier for you to scale up quickly even beyond 3 TiB when required. Domains that already have a volume size above 3 TiB will require a blue/green deployment the first time a volume increase is made; subsequent volume increases will not require a blue/green deployment. Decreasing storage volume size, or making volume increases within short intervals, will still require a blue/green deployment. You can use the dry-run option to check whether your change requires a blue/green deployment. This feature is available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon OpenSearch Service is available. See here for a full list of our Regions. To learn more about Amazon OpenSearch Service configurations, visit the documentation page.

Amazon Connect now supports conversational analytics for email

Amazon Connect now supports conversational analytics for email contacts, enabling contact center managers to automatically categorize emails, redact personally identifiable information (PII), and generate contact summaries. This allows you to quickly identify emerging trends, better maintain compliance by protecting sensitive information, and reduce the time spent reviewing agent performance. For example, when customers email about account issues, Amazon Connect automatically categorizes the email, redacts sensitive information, and generates a summary for supervisor review. To enable this feature, add the Set recording, analytics and processing behavior block to your flows before an email contact is assigned to your agent or sent to your end customer. You can customize which PII types to redact, choose whether redacted content shows specific PII type indicators e.g., [SSN] or generic markings ([PII]), opt to store both original and redacted versions in separate storage, as well as enable contact summaries. Using these analytics, you can quickly create rules to automatically trigger actions such as assigning categories, creating tasks, or updating cases. Amazon Connect conversational analytics is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London) regions. To learn more and get started, please refer to the help documentation or visit the Amazon Connect website.
