Amazon S3 adds AWS CloudTrail events for table maintenance activities in Amazon S3 Tables. You can now use AWS CloudTrail to track compaction and snapshot expiration operations performed by S3 Tables on your tables. S3 Tables automatically performs maintenance to optimize query performance and lower costs of your tables stored in S3 table buckets. You can monitor and audit S3 Tables maintenance activities such as compaction and snapshot expiration as management events in AWS CloudTrail. To get started with monitoring, create a trail in the AWS CloudTrail console and filter for 'AwsServiceEvents' as the eventType and 'TablesMaintenanceEvent' as the eventName. AWS CloudTrail events for S3 Tables maintenance are now available in all AWS Regions where S3 Tables are available. To learn more, visit Amazon S3 Tables

AWS Nitro Enclaves is an Amazon EC2 capability that enables customers to create isolated compute environments (enclaves) to further protect and securely process highly sensitive data within their EC2 instances. Nitro Enclaves helps customers reduce the attack surface area for their most sensitive data processing applications. There is no additional cost other than the cost for the using Amazon EC2 instances and any other AWS services that are used with Nitro Enclaves. Nitro Enclaves is now available across all AWS Regions, expanding to include new regions in Asia Pacific (New Zealand, Thailand, Jakarta, Hyderabad, Malaysia, Melbourne, and Taipei), Europe (Spain and Zurich), Middle East (UAE and Tel Aviv), and North America (Central Mexico and Calgary).

Today, Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) added visibility into the IP addresses used by Dedicated IP Addresses - Managed (DIP-M) pools. Customers can now find out the exact addresses in use when sending emails through DIP-M pools to mailbox providers. Customers can also see Microsoft Smart Network Data Services (SNDS) metrics for these IP addresses, giving them more insight into their sending reputation with Microsoft mailbox providers. This gives customers more transparency into the IP activities in DIP-M pools. Previously, customers could configure DIP-M pools to perform automatic IP allocation and warm-up in response to changes in email sending volumes. This reduced the operational overhead of managing dedicated sending channels, but customers could not easily see which IP addresses were in use by DIP-M pools. This also made it difficult to find SNDS feedback, which customers use to improve their reputation. Now,

Amazon Nova models now support the customization of content moderation settings for approved business use cases that require processing or generating sensitive content. Organizations with approved business use cases can adjust content moderation settings across four domains: safety, sensitive content, fairness, and security. These settings allow customers to adjust specific settings relevant to their business requirements. Amazon Nova enforces essential, non-configurable controls to ensure responsible use of AI, such as controls to prevent harm to children and preserve privacy. Customization of content moderation settings is available for Amazon Nova Lite and Amazon Nova Pro in the US East (N. Virginia) region.

Amazon Connect can now automatically initiate follow-up evaluations to analyze specific situations identified during initial evaluations. For example, when an initial customer service evaluation detects customer interest in a product, Amazon Connect can automatically trigger a follow-up evaluation focused on the agent's sales performance. This enables managers to maintain consistent evaluation standards across agent cohorts and over time, while capturing deeper insights on specific scenarios such as sales opportunities, escalations, and other critical interaction moments. This feature is available in all regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more, please visit our documentation

Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights expands the availability of its on-demand analysis experience to the RDS for SQL Server database engine. CloudWatch Database Insights is a monitoring and diagnostics solution that helps database administrators and developers optimize database performance by providing comprehensive visibility into database metrics, query analysis, and resource utilization patterns. This feature leverages machine learning models to help identify performance bottlenecks during the selected time period, and gives advice on what to do next. Previously, database administrators had to manually analyze performance data, correlate metrics, and investigate root cause. This process is time-consuming and requires deep database expertise. With this launch, you can now analyze database performance monitoring data for any time period with automated intelligence. The feature automatically compares your selected time period against normal baseline performance, identifies

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports AWS CloudTrail data events, providing detailed visibility into Amazon ECS Agent API activities. This new capability enables customers to monitor, audit, and troubleshoot container instance operations. With CloudTrail data event support, security and operations teams can now maintain comprehensive audit trails of ECS Agent API activities, detect unusual access patterns, and troubleshoot agent communication issues more effectively. Customers can opt in to receive detailed logging through the new data event resource type AWS::ECS::ContainerInstance for ECS agent activities, including when the ECS agent polls for work (ecs:Poll), starts telemetry sessions (ecs:StartTelemetrySession), and submits ECS Managed Instances logs (ecs:PutSystemLogEvents). This enhanced visibility enables teams to
