News For Dev-ops

Developed jointly by AWS and OpenAI, Bedrock Managed Agents (BMA) is built on a customized version of OpenAI's Agents API engineered to be AWS-native and integrated with AWS resources. You can now build agents optimized for OpenAI models that run entirely inside AWS with the identities, permissions, and governance controls you already use.  BMA manages how the model preserves state, selects and uses tools, executes code, and coordinates work across multiple steps and decisions. Durable sessions retain messages, tool calls, and intermediate results so you can return later, provide new information, and continue from the progress already made. You can add reusable skills for specialized procedures and connect agents to tools, including via Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Each agent operates with its own IAM role, supports human approval before consequential actions, and records supported API activity with AWS CloudTrail. During preview, there is no additional charge ...

You can now use AWS Transform agentic migration assessments to evaluate the migration of on-premises Apache Kafka clusters to Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) . AWS Transform migration assessments use agentic AI to analyze your workloads, recommend the best-fit AWS services, and generate a total cost of ownership (TCO) business case with pricing options and actionable next steps - all in minutes, through natural-language chat or with AWS Transform MCP server . For Apache Kafka workloads, the assessment agent delivers compatibility checks, right-sized Amazon MSK Express broker recommendations, and projected costs - helping you quickly build a migration business case and accelerate your migration decisions. Evaluating a Kafka-to-MSK migration often involves multiple steps - mapping topologies, validating compatibility, right-sizing brokers, and projecting costs - that can take weeks when done manually. With this launch, you can start your migration assessment by...

Amazon ElastiCache Serverless for Valkey now supports public endpoints, letting you connect to your cache directly from a laptop, a serverless function, or any application running outside AWS, without setting up a VPN, a bastion host, or an SSH tunnel. With a public endpoint, ElastiCache Serverless gives you a fully managed cache reachable over the internet, with no VPC to configure and no infrastructure to provision, and you can create one in under a minute. Use it to rapidly prototype, connect AI coding tools and agents straight to your cache, or add caching to workloads that can't reach a VPC. Every connection uses IAM authentication over TLS 1.3, so there's no password to store or rotate. Connect using Valkey GLIDE 2.2 or later, which has built-in IAM support, or another Valkey client paired with the Developer Toolkit for ElastiCache, an open-source library that generates and refreshes IAM authentication tokens for you. Public endpoints for ElastiCache Serverless are avai...

For developers building MongoDB-compatible applications, retryable writes improve application resilience during transient errors such as network interruptions or primary failovers. Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports retryable writes starting with engine version 8.0.2, eliminating the need for additional code changes when enabling this capability. With retryable writes, the MongoDB driver automatically retries certain write operations one time if a transient error occurs. Most current MongoDB-compatible drivers enable retryable writes by default. With this release, applications connecting to Amazon DocumentDB 8.0.2 no longer need to set retryWrites=false in the connection string to avoid errors. Retryable writes are supported for all write commands except updateMany and deleteMany, as well as transaction commit and abort commands. On engine versions earlier than 8.0.2, retryable writes remain unsupported and must be disabled. Retryable writes are available on ...

AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault now supports Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. Logically air-gapped vaults are a type of AWS Backup vault that allows secure sharing of backups across accounts and AWS Organizations, supporting direct restore to reduce recovery time from a data loss event. You can now protect your Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP volumes in logically air-gapped vaults. A logically air-gapped vault stores immutable backups that are locked by default, and isolated with encryption using AWS owned keys or customer-managed keys. You can store your FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups in a logically air-gapped vault in the same account or across other accounts and Regions. This helps reduce the risk of downtime, ensure business continuity, and meet compliance and disaster recovery requirements. You can get started using the AWS Backup console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs. Target FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups to a logically air-gapped vault by specifying it as the primar...

AI enables natural and powerful ways for people to interact with software through language, voice, and vision. Applications with agents go further by helping users accomplish work. Agents can gather context, use tools, propose plans, update shared artifacts, and carry multi-step tasks forward in collaboration with the user. These capabilities create new possibilities for application design and new challenges. Agent output may arrive incrementally. Users need visibility into what an agent is doing and control over consequential actions. The user, agent, and application may all contribute to shared state. The resulting experience needs to remain understandable and responsive as the work evolves. The new experimental Blazor AI components provide building blocks for these experiences, which we call Agentic UI . They turn agent interactions into content blocks and observable state that Blazor components can render and control. Developers can combine natural interaction with the visual str...
