AWS AppConfig integrates with New Relic for automated rollbacks

AWS AppConfig today launched a new integration that enables automated, intelligent rollbacks during feature flag and dynamic configuration deployments using New Relic Workflow Automation. Building on AWS AppConfig’s third-party alert capability, this integration provides teams using New Relic with a solution to automatically detect degraded application health and trigger rollbacks in seconds, eliminating manual intervention. When you deploy feature flags using AWS AppConfig’s gradual deployment strategy, the AWS AppConfig New Relic Extension continuously monitors your application health against configured alert conditions. If issues are detected during a feature flag update and deployment, such as increased error rates or elevated latency, the New Relic Workflow automatically sends a notification to trigger an immediate rollback, reverting the feature flag to its previous state. This closed-loop automation reduces the time between detection and remediation from minutes to seconds, minimizing customer impact during failed deployments.

Announcing AWS Elemental Inference

AWS Elemental Inference, a fully managed Artificial Intelligence (AI) service that enables broadcasters and streamers to automatically generate vertical content and highlight clips for mobile and social platforms in real time, is now generally available. The service applies AI capabilities to live and on-demand video in parallel with encoding and helps companies and creators to reach audiences in any format without requiring AI expertise or dedicated production teams.
With Elemental Inference you can process video once and optimize it everywhere—creating main broadcasts while simultaneously generating vertical versions for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, and other mobile platforms in parallel with live video. For example, sports broadcasters can automatically generate vertical highlight clips during live games and distribute them to social platforms in real-time, capturing viral moments as they happen rather than hours later. 
The service launches with two AI features: vertical video cropping that transforms live and on-demand landscape broadcasts into mobile-optimized formats, and advanced metadata analysis that identifies key moments to generate highlight clips from live content. Using an agentic AI application that requires no prompts or human-in-the-loop intervention, broadcasters can scale content production without adding manual workflows or production staff—the system automatically adapts content for each platform. In beta testing, large media companies achieved 34% or more savings on AI-powered live video workflows compared to using multiple point solutions.
AWS Elemental Inference is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and Europe (Ireland).
For more information, visit the AWS News Blog or explore the AWS Elemental Inference documentation.

AWS IAM Policy Autopilot is now available as a Kiro Power

AWS IAM Policy Autopilot, the open source static code analysis tool launched at re:Invent 2025, is now available as a Kiro power to bring policy expertise to agentic AI development. This tool helps developers quickly create baseline AWS IAM policies that can be refined as applications evolve, eliminating the need for manual IAM policy creation.
The Kiro power delivers significant benefits through one-click installation directly from the Kiro IDE and web interface, removing the need for manual MCP server configuration. This streamlined workflow enables faster policy creation and integrates seamlessly into AI-assisted development environments. Key use cases include rapid prototyping of AWS applications requiring IAM policies, baseline policy creation for new AWS projects, and enhanced productivity within IDE environments where developers can generate policies without leaving their coding workflow.
To learn more about AWS IAM Policy Autopilot and access the integration, visit the AWS IAM Policy Autopilot GitHub repository. To learn more about Kiro powers, visit the Kiro powers page.

Amazon announces generative AI-based artifacts in Amazon Q Developer for visualizing resource and cost data

Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Q Developer artifacts in the AWS Management Console. Amazon Q artifacts is a generative AI-based user experience that enables customers to visualize resource data in tables and cost data in charts. The launch also moves the Q icon to the navigation bar and the chat panel to the left, making Amazon Q easier to access from anywhere in the AWS Management Console.
Customers can access Amazon Q artifacts by selecting the Amazon Q icon and asking questions about their AWS resources to understand the state of their resources and costs using Amazon Q artifacts. For example, on asking “List S3 buckets with tag value production”, Amazon Q displays the S3 buckets that has a tag value of production in a tabular format. Customers can then select the hyperlinks on the bucket name to view the bucket details in the S3 console. Customers can also visualize cost and billing information with charts. For example, on entering “Show me RDS costs by instance type over the last 6 months”, Q will render the response in a Q artifacts using a chart (e.g., bar graph, line chart, pie chart, or area chart). Customers can also use sample prompts in the Prompt Library in the Amazon Q chat panel to get started quickly. The artifacts are displayed in an artifact panel to the right of the Amazon Q chat panel. Users can expand Amazon Q to full-screen for a dedicated focus mode experience.
The Amazon Q Developer artifacts are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Q Developer is available. To get started visit Amazon Q Developer documentation.

AWS Trusted Advisor now delivers more accurate unused NAT Gateway checks powered by AWS Compute Optimizer

AWS Trusted Advisor has enhanced its detection of unused NAT Gateway checks powered by AWS Compute Optimizer detection capabilities. The enhanced detection analyzes additional CloudWatch metrics over a 32-day lookback period and verifies whether NAT Gateways are associated with route tables, reducing false positives by avoiding flagging critical backup resources. This helps cost optimization teams and DevOps engineers confidently identify and remove unused NAT Gateways that incur unnecessary charges. Each recommendation includes estimated monthly cost savings, enabling you to prioritize cleanup based on monetary impact. With these recommendations, you can run regular cost audits to catch idle NAT Gateways before charges accumulate. This simplifies cleaning up resources left behind after workload migrations or decommissions. You can view and act on these recommendations in the Trusted Advisor console alongside your other cost optimization checks, or through Trusted Advisor APIs. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Trusted Advisor is supported. Organizations must be opted-in to Cost Optimization Hub and Compute Optimizer to access these enhanced recommendations. To learn more, visit the AWS Trusted Advisor documentation.
