AWS announces the Confluence Data Center data source connector for Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base, a fully managed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) service. Customers running self-hosted Confluence Data Center instances can now crawl blogs and pages from their Confluence spaces directly into their managed knowledge base. Previously, bringing Confluence Data Center content into Bedrock Knowledge Bases required building custom ingestion pipelines—now, you provide your instance credentials, and the connector handles data crawling, metadata extraction, and incremental sync automatically. The Confluence Data Center connector gives your…

AWS Entity Resolution now provides record-level confidence scores for Machine Learning (ML) based matching workflows, giving you a per-record signal of how confident the model is in each individual identity match. Previously, all records within a match group carried the same group-level confidence score regardless of actual match quality — making it impossible to distinguish a near-certain match from a borderline one. This forced customers to apply a single confidence threshold across all records, limiting the number of resolved identities that could be activated downstream. With record-level confidence scores, each resolved record now carri…

Amazon Connect Customer Profiles now sends segment membership events, providing the ability to receive real-time and scheduled notifications when customer profiles enter or exit a segment, such as high-value customers or low-satisfaction customers. Previously, detecting when customer profiles joined or left a segment required exporting entire segments at regular intervals and running custom scripts to identify differences. This manual process consumed resources, introduced errors, and created multi-hour delays between a customer qualifying for a segment and downstream systems acting on it. With segment membership events, Customer Profiles au…

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now lets you run your own custom Python plugins on the managed versions of InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise editions. You host your plugin code in public or private repositories you control and the engine fetches and runs it in response to triggers, letting you implement logic specific to your workload without standing up separate external infrastructure. Plugins run on the trigger types the processing engine already supports and with them, you can build custom data transformations, alerting, aggregation, and integrations with your own services, all running close to your data. Plugins execute in a managed Python …

Amazon SageMaker Feature Store is a fully managed capability that makes it easy to compute, store, and retrieve features for training and deploying AI models. SageMaker Feature Store now supports feature-level writes, a new capability for updating individual features in a record. Data scientists can now update one or more feature values in a single request, without rewriting the entire record. Data scientists can use a single update call to replace the read-modify-write pattern their pipelines run today. Each write updates only the features in the request and leaves every other feature in the record unchanged, which lowers write latency and …

You can now configure Amazon API Gateway REST APIs to present an AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate to your backend during the TLS handshake, enabling mutual TLS (mTLS). Previously, API Gateway could present only a self-signed certificate that it generated; now you can use a certificate signed by a certificate authority you trust. Your integration endpoint validates this certificate during the handshake to confirm the connection comes from your API. You can import a certificate into ACM from your existing public key infrastructure (PKI), or have ACM issue and manage one for you through AWS Private Certificate Authority. When a certifi…

Today, AWS HealthOmics introduces the resource fallback directive, enabling you to define an ordered list of preferred accelerator types, including an option to fallback to CPU instances, for tasks in your Workflow Description Language (WDL) workflows. Researchers and bioinformaticians can use this directive to reduce time spent diagnosing and resubmitting runs due to accelerator constraints and keep production workflows running. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows. With resource fallback, you can…

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory now lets developers submit content directly for long-term memory extraction without persisting it as a short-term memory event. The new IngestData API accepts content, fans it out to the memory's configured long-term memory strategies, and makes the resulting memory records available through the same retrieval operations used for any other long-term memory records, all without creating a short-term event. Until now, all content had to be stored as a short-term memory event before extraction strategies could process it into long-term memory records. IngestData removes this requirement, enabling developers to ad…
