Amazon Redshift Serverless adds queue-based query resource management

Amazon Redshift Serverless introduces queue-based query resource management. You can create dedicated query queues with customized monitoring rules for different workloads. This feature provides granular control over resource usage. Queues let you set metrics-based predicates and automated responses. For example, you can configure rules to automatically abort queries that exceed time limits or consume too many resources. Previously, Query Monitoring Rules (QMR) were applied only at the Redshift Serverless workgroup level, affecting all queries run in this workgroup uniformly. The new queue-based approach lets you create queues with distinct monitoring rules. You can assign these queues to specific user roles and query groups. Each queue operates independently, with rules affecting only the queries within that queue. The available monitoring metrics can be found in Query monitoring metrics for Amazon Redshift Serverless. This feature is available in all AWS regions that support Amazon Redshift Serverless. You can manage QMR with queues through the AWS Console and Redshift APIs. For implementation details, see the documentation in the Amazon Redshift management guide.

Amazon Connect now provides agent scheduling metrics in data lake

Amazon Connect now provides agent scheduling metrics in data lake, making it easier for you to generate reports and insights from this data. For example, after publishing schedules for next month, you can access interval level (15 minutes or 30 minutes) metrics such as forecasted headcount, scheduled headcount, and projected service level in Connect analytics data lake. You can view aggregated metrics for an entire business unit (forecast group) or broken down by specific demand segments (demand groups). You can then visualize this data in Amazon Quick Sight or another BI tool of your choice for further analysis, such as identifying periods of over or under-staffing. This eliminates the need for manual reviews of agent schedules thus improving productivity for schedulers and supervisors. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available. To learn more about Amazon Connect agent scheduling, click here.
