AWS announces Nitro Enclaves are now available in all AWS Regions

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.\n 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). To learn more about AWS Nitro Enclaves and how to get started, visit the AWS Nitro Enclaves page.

Amazon SES adds IP observability for Dedicated IP addresses (managed)

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.\n 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, customers can see the IPs in DIP-M pools through the console, CLI, or SES API. SES also automatically creates CloudWatch Metrics for SNDS information on each IP address, which customers can access through the CloudWatch console or APIs. This gives customers more tools to monitor their sending reputation. SES supports DIP-M IP observability in all AWS Regions where SES is available. For more information, see the documentation for information about DIP-M pools.

Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights now provides on-demand analysis for RDS for SQL Server

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.\n 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 anomalies, and provides specific remediation advice. Through intuitive visualizations and clear explanations, you can quickly identify performance issues and receive step-by-step guidance for resolution. This automated analysis and recommendation system reduces mean-time-to-diagnosis from hours to minutes. You can get started with this feature by enabling the Advanced mode of CloudWatch Database Insights on your RDS for SQL Server databases using the RDS service console, AWS APIs, the AWS SDK, or AWS CloudFormation. Please refer to RDS documentation and Aurora documentation for information regarding the availability of Database Insights across different regions, engines and instance classes.

Amazon Connect now supports automated follow-up evaluations triggered by initial evaluation results

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.\n This feature is available in all regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more, please visit our documentation and our webpage.
