Amazon Bedrock batch inference now supports the Converse API format - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Bedrock batch inference now supports the Converse API as a model invocation type, enabling you to use a consistent, model-agnostic input format for your batch workloads. Previously, batch inference required model-specific request formats using the InvokeModel API. Now, when creating a batch inference job, you can select Converse as the model invocation type and structure your input data using the standard Converse API request format. Output for Converse batch jobs follows the Converse API response format. With this feature, you can use the same unified request format for both real-time and batch inference, simplifying prompt management and reducing the effort needed to switch between models. You can configure the Converse model invocation type through both the Amazon Bedrock console and the API. This capability is available in all AWS Regions that support Amazon Bedrock batch inference. To get started, see Create a batch inference job and Format and upload your batch infere...

Amazon OpenSearch Service adds new insights for improved cluster stability - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon OpenSearch Service has enhanced Cluster Insights with two new insights — Cluster Overload and Suboptimal Sharding Strategy. Suboptimal Sharding Strategy provides instant visibility into shard imbalances that cause uneven workload distribution, while Cluster Overload surfaces elevated cluster resource utilization that can lead to request throttling or rejections. Both insights come with details of affected resources along with actionable mitigation recommendations. Previously, identifying resource constraints and shard imbalances required manually correlating multiple metrics and logs, making it difficult to detect issues early. With these new insights, you can proactively monitor cluster health and take timely action. Suboptimal Sharding Strategy detects shard imbalances caused by indices with too few shards relative to the number of data nodes, or by shards carrying disproportionately large amounts of data compared to others. It identifies the root cause of uneven workload...

[MS] JCON Europe 2026: Java Modernization, Performance, and AI - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

[MS] Azure DocumentDB: A Fully Managed MongoDB-Compatible Database - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Image
Running MongoDB at scale eventually forces a trade-off: invest heavily in managing your own infrastructure or move to a managed service and risk losing the compatibility and portability your team depends on.   Azure DocumentDB is a fully managed, MongoDB-compatible database on Azure, built on an MIT-licensed open-source engine that runs consistently across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. Developers keep the skills and tooling they already have. Infrastructure teams get a pricing model built on compute and storage, with no licensing fees and no throughput unit calculations.   Key Capabilities   MongoDB Compatibility   Azure DocumentDB is fully MongoDB-compatible database, so existing drivers, tools, and frameworks connect without modification. MongoDB Shell, LangChain, pymongo, and all major MongoDB drivers are supported out of the box, along with your existing indexes, query patterns, and aggregation pipelines. ...

[MS] Measuring actual AI Impact for Engineering with Apache DevLake - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Image
If you want to skip the explain and get started super quick with adoption + impact insights, use gh-devlake to deploy a GitHub Copilot impact dashboard in a few CLI commands. So! You've rolled out GitHub Copilot to your engineering teams. You've got the built-in dashboards. You know how many seats are assigned, what the acceptance rates look like, which editors your teams prefer. Maybe you've even pulled the Copilot Metrics API and built some charts. But here's the question your VP of Engineering or CTO is actually asking: "Is GitHub Copilot making us ship faster? Are we more reliable? Is code review getting better?" And the honest answer, if you're only looking at data from our Copilot Metrics API, is: you don't know . You know adoption. You don't know impact. I've been working with engineering teams evaluating Copilot for a while now, and this gap — between usage data and delivery outcomes — keeps coming up. The usage metrics live in one ...
