EC2 Capacity Manager now includes Spot interruption metrics

Today, AWS announces new Spot interruption metrics for Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager that allow you to better understand Spot capacity across your organization. EC2 Capacity Manager helps you monitor, analyze, and manage your EC2 capacity across On-Demand, Spot, and Capacity Reservations from a single location. With this new capability, you can now track how many Spot instances are running, monitor interruption counts, and calculate interruption rates across regions, availability zones, and accounts. This enables you to make data-driven decisions about your Spot instance strategy. EC2 Capacity Manager now includes three new metrics: ‘Spot Usage Total Count’, ‘Spot Total Interruptions’, and ‘Spot Interruption Rate. ‘Spot Usage Total Count’ shows the total number of distinct Spot instances or vCPUs that ran during a selected period, ‘Spot Total Interruptions’ tracks how many were interrupted, and ‘Spot Interruption Rate’ calculates the percentage of running instances that experienced interruptions. This data helps you identify patterns, compare across different regions and availability zones, and optimize your Spot instance strategy by diversifying instance types, expanding across availability zones, or using Spot placement score to identify optimal capacity pools with higher availability. EC2 Capacity Manager with Spot interruption metrics is available in all commercial AWS Regions enabled by default at no additional cost. To get started, visit EC2 Capacity Manager in the AWS console.

Amazon Connect now provides the capability to store nested JSON object and looping arrays

Amazon Connect now enables you to store and work with complex data structures in your flows, making it easy to build dynamic automated experiences that use rich information returned from your internal business systems. You can save complete data records, including nested JSON objects and lists, and reference specific elements within them, such as a particular order from a list of orders returned in JSON format. Additionally, you can automatically loop through lists of items in your customer service flows, moving through each entry in sequence while tracking the current position in the loop. This allows you to easily access item-level details and present relevant information to end-customers. For example, a travel agency can retrieve all of a customer’s itineraries in a single request and guide the caller through each booking to review or update their reservations. A bank can similarly walk customers through recent transactions one by one using data retrieved securely from its systems. These capabilities reduce the need for repeated calls to your business systems, simplify workflow design, and make it easier to deliver advanced automated experiences that adapt as your business requirements evolve. To learn more about these features, see the Amazon Connect Administrator Guide. These features are available in all AWS regions where Amazon Connect is available.
