Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports alerting and anomalies on dashboards
OpenSearch Service 2.9 now supports the ability for customers to manage and overlay alerts and anomalies onto dashboard visualization line charts. Customers can create new, or associate existing, alerting monitors and anomaly detectors from dashboard line charts. For example, if a customer opts to create a new monitor or detector, the new monitor will inherit the setting of the line chart and prepopulate the creation form. If customers have existing monitors or detectors present that they want to use, they can associate them with the line chart visualization on the dashboard.
AWS CodePipeline can use external source providers in Europe (Milan) and AWS GovCloud (US-East)
You can now use source repositories from GitHub.com, GitHub Enterprise Server, Bitbucket Cloud, and GitLab.com with AWS CodePipeline in Europe (Milan) and the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions, to build, test, and deploy code changes. Connect your source provider account using AWS CodeStar Connections, and use the connection in your pipeline to automatically start a pipeline execution on changes in your repository.
AWS Amplify’s GraphQL API capabilities now available as AWS CDK construct
AWS Amplify announces an AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) construct for building GraphQL APIs backed by data sources such as Amazon DynamoDB tables or AWS Lambda functions using a single GraphQL schema definition. Launching an API for application frontends requires developers to author thousands of lines of repetitive, undifferentiated code to build and wire together API endpoints, custom business logic, and data sources. AWS Amplify removes this heavy-lifting by allowing developers to define their application data model in a single definition file and automatically generate the required AWS cloud resources to support common API operations like create, update, list, read, subscribe, and delete for their data sources. Today, we’re extending this capability, previously only available using the Amplify CLI to AWS CDK.
Announcing Amazon SQS binding extension support in CoreWCF
Today, we are announcing the general availability of Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) binding extension support in the CoreWCF open source project. As you modernize your Windows Communications Foundation (WCF) based service-oriented applications using MSMQ bindings to cross-platform CoreWCF, you can now use Amazon SQS as one of the bindings.
Amazon SageMaker Feature Store in-memory online store for low latency feature retrieval
Amazon SageMaker Feature Store now supports a fully managed, in-memory online store, which enables you to retrieve features for model serving in real time for high throughput ML applications. The new online store is powered by ElastiCache for Redis, which is a blazing fast in-memory data store built on open-source Redis.
