Amazon CloudWatch agent adds Shared Memory Metrics

Amazon CloudWatch agent now supports collection of shared memory utilization metrics from Linux hosts running on Amazon EC2 or on-premises environments. This new capability enables you to monitor total shared memory usage in CloudWatch, alongside existing memory metrics like free memory, used memory, and cached memory. Enterprise applications such as SAP HANA and Oracle RDBMS make extensive use of shared memory segments that were previously not captured in standard memory metrics. By enabling shared memory metric collection in your CloudWatch agent configuration file, you can now accurately assess total memory utilization across your hosts, helping you optimize host and application configurations and make informed decisions about instance sizing. Amazon CloudWatch agent is supported in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For Amazon CloudWatch custom metrics pricing, see the CloudWatch Pricing page. To get started, see Configuring the CloudWatch agent in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio adds support for catalog notifications

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now provides real-time notifications for data catalog activities, enabling data teams to stay informed of subscription requests, dataset updates, and access approvals. With this launch, customers receive real-time notifications for catalog events including new dataset publications, metadata changes, and access approvals directly within the SageMaker Unified Studio notification center. This launch streamlines collaboration by keeping teams updated as datasets are published or modified. The new notification experience in SageMaker Unified Studio is accessible from a “bell” icon in the top right corner of the project home page. From here, you can access a short list of recent notifications including subscription requests, updates, comments, and system events. To see the full list of all notifications, you can click on “notification center” to see all notifications in a tabular view that can be filtered based on your preferences for data catalogs, projects and event types. Notifications within SageMaker Unified Studio is available in all regions where SageMaker Unified Studio is supported. To learn more, refer to the SageMaker Unified Studio guide.

Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 is now in Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US)

Customers can now use Claude Sonnet 4.5 in Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) via US-GOV Cross-Region Inference. Claude Sonnet 4.5 is Anthropic’s most intelligent model, excelling at building complex agents, coding, and long-horizon tasks while maintaining optimal speed and cost-efficiency for high-volume use-cases. Claude Sonnet 4.5 currently leads the SWE-bench Verified benchmarks with enhanced instruction following, better code improvement identification, stronger refactoring judgment, and more effective production-ready code generation. This model excels at powering long-running agents that tackle complex, multi-step tasks requiring peak accuracy—like autonomously managing multi-channel marketing campaigns or orchestrating cross-functional enterprise workflows. In cybersecurity, it can help teams shift from reactive detection to proactive defense by autonomously patching vulnerabilities. For financial services, it can handle everything from analysis to advanced predictive modeling. Through the Amazon Bedrock API, Claude can now automatically edit context to clear stale information from past tool calls, allowing you to maximize the model’s context. A new memory tool lets Claude store and consult information outside the context window to boost accuracy and performance. To get started with Claude Sonnet 4.5 in Amazon Bedrock, read the News Blog, visit the AWS GovCloud (US) console console, Anthropic’s Claude in Amazon Bedrock product page, and the Amazon Bedrock pricing page.

AWS Control Tower supports automatic enrollment of accounts

AWS Control Tower customers can now simply move their accounts to an Organizational Unit (OU) to enroll them under AWS Control Tower governance. This feature helps customers maintain consistency across their AWS environment and simplifies the account creation and enrollment processes. When enrolled, member accounts receive best practice configurations, controls, and baseline resources required for AWS Control Tower governance. Customers are no longer required to manually update accounts or re-register OUs when migrating accounts or making changes to their OU structure. When an account is moved to a new OU, AWS Control Tower automatically enrolls the account, applying the baseline configurations and controls from the new OU and removing those from the original OU. With this feature, customers can further simplify their new account provisioning workflows by creating an account and then moving it into the right OU using the AWS Organizations console or the CreateAccount and MoveAccount APIs. Customers on landing zone version 3.1 and higher can opt in to this feature by toggling the automatically enroll accounts flag in their Landing Zone settings or using the Create or UpdateLandingZone APIs by setting the value of the RemediationTypes parameter to Inheritance_Drift. To learn more about this functionality, review Move and enroll accounts with auto-enrollment. For a list of AWS Regions where AWS Control Tower is available, see the AWS Region Table.
