  1. FOCUS is a new open-source cloud billing data specification that provides standardization to simplify cloud financial management across multiple sources. Data Exports for FOCUS 1.0 includes several AWS-specific columns, such as usage types and cost categories, and delivers exports on a daily basis to Amazon S3 as Parquet or CSV files.

  2. Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet foundation model is now generally available in Amazon Bedrock. That was fast :-)

  3. Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports JWT tokens.

  4. Developer productivity: Amazon CodeCatalyst now supports the use of source code repositories hosted in GitHub Cloud and Bitbucket Cloud with Amazon Q for feature development. Customers can now assign issues in CodeCatalyst to Amazon Q and direct it to work with source code hosted in GitHub Cloud and Bitbucket Cloud. Using Amazon Q, you can go from an issue all the way to merge-ready code in a pull request. Amazon Q analyzes the issue and existing source code, creates a plan, and then generates source code in a pull request.

  5. More restrict way to control AWS Glue cost: Today, AWS announces general availability of AWS Glue Usage Profiles, a new cost control capability that allows admins to set preventatives controls and limits over resources consumed by their Glue jobs and Notebook sessions.

  6. Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is now available in many AWS GovCloud regions. So all federal, state and local agencies now can load video feeds and analyze it in real time for many different types of use cases.

  7. Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MariaDB now supports MariaDB minor versions 10.11.8, 10.6.18, 10.5.25, and 10.4.34. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of MariaDB, and to benefit from the bug fixes, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the MariaDB community. If you need help, call Datavail.

Amazon location service was launched, and I have a feeling not much adoption will happen. Google Maps is way ahead in terms of features and adoption.
