Amazon RDS for MySQL announces Innovation Release 9.6 in Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment

Amazon RDS for MySQL now supports community MySQL Innovation Release 9.6 in the Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment, allowing you to evaluate the latest Innovation Release on Amazon RDS for MySQL. You can deploy MySQL 9.6 in the Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment which provides the benefits of a fully managed database, making it simpler to set up, operate, and monitor databases. MySQL 9.6 is the latest Innovation Release from the MySQL community. MySQL Innovation releases include bug fixes, security patches, as well as new features. MySQL Innovation releases are supported by the community until the next innovation minor, whereas MySQL Long Term Support (LTS) Releases, such as MySQL 8.0 and MySQL 8.4, are supported by the community for up to eight years. Please refer to the MySQL 9.6 release notes and Amazon RDS MySQL release notes for more details. Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment supports both Single-AZ and Multi-AZ deployments on the latest generation of instance classes. Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment database instances are retained for a maximum of 60 days and are automatically deleted after the retention period. Amazon RDS database snapshots created in the Preview Environment can only be used to create or restore database instances within the Preview Environment. Amazon RDS Database Preview Environment database instances are priced the same as production RDS instances created in the US East (Ohio) Region. For further information, see Working with the Database Preview Environment. To get started with the Preview Environment from the RDS console, navigate here.

Amazon CloudWatch adds visual agent configuration to the EC2 console

Amazon CloudWatch now provides a visual configuration editor for the CloudWatch agent directly in the Amazon EC2 console, enabling you to set up and manage observability for your EC2 instances without hand-editing JSON. The CloudWatch agent collects infrastructure and application metrics, logs, and traces from EC2 instances and sends them to CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray. With the new visual editor, you can build agent configurations graphically, selecting metrics, log sources, and deployment targets, and deploy with a single click.
From the EC2 console, you can select one or more instances, install the CloudWatch agent, or create tag-based policies for automated fleet-wide management. From the instance detail page, you can view agent status, update configurations, and troubleshoot agent health. Automated policies automatically apply the correct monitoring settings to every new instance, including those launched by auto-scaling.
To get started, navigate to the Amazon EC2 console, select an instance, and choose the EC2 monitoring tab to access the CloudWatch agent management experience. CloudWatch in-console agent management is available in all AWS Commercial Regions at no additional cost. Standard CloudWatch pricing applies for metrics, logs, and other telemetry collected by the agent.

Paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2, Table Transformer Detection, and Bielik-11B-v3.0-Instruct are now available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart

Today, AWS announced the availability of paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2, Microsoft Table Transformer Detection, and Bielik-11B-v3.0-Instruct in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart.
Paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 from Sentence Transformers is a lightweight semantic similarity model that maps sentences and paragraphs to a 384-dimensional dense vector space across 50+ languages. It is well suited for finding semantically similar content within and across languages, making it ideal for cross-lingual semantic search, multilingual document clustering, and sentence similarity scoring without requiring language-specific configuration.
Microsoft Table Transformer Detection is a DETR-based object detection model trained on the PubTables-1M dataset, purpose-built for detecting tables in unstructured documents such as PDFs and scanned images. It is well suited for document digitization pipelines and automated data extraction workflows that require reliably locating tabular content at scale across research papers, financial reports, and other document types.
Bielik-11B-v3.0-Instruct is an 11-billion-parameter generative language model developed by SpeakLeash and ACK Cyfronet AGH, trained on multilingual corpora spanning 32 European languages with a strong emphasis on Polish. It excels at Polish and European language dialogue, STEM and mathematical reasoning, logic and tool-use tasks, and enterprise applications requiring deep linguistic understanding across European languages.
With SageMaker JumpStart, customers can deploy any of these models with just a few clicks to address their specific AI use cases. To get started with these models, navigate to the Models section of SageMaker Studio or use the SageMaker Python SDK to deploy the models to your AWS account. For more information about deploying and using foundation models in SageMaker JumpStart, see the Amazon SageMaker JumpStart documentation.
