Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now allows you to migrate your data from Elasticsearch version 7.x clusters to the latest versions of Amazon OpenSearch Service managed clusters and both public and VPC serverless collections, eliminating the need for 3rd party tools like Logstash to migrate your data. This launch also enables you to migrate your data from 2.x version Amazon OpenSearch Service managed clusters to serverless collections. Additionally, you can now use Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion to replicate and migrate indexes between Amazon OpenSearch serverless collections.

Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now offers persistent buffering when ingesting streaming data from push-based sources, offering data durability and simplifying data ingestion architecture. Customers can now use persistent buffering to ingest data from http sources like FluentD and FluentBit and OpenTelemetry collectors without the need to set up a standalone buffer. Persistent buffering in Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion is serverless and scales elastically to meet the throughput needs of even the most demanding workloads.

To help you measure and maximize your investments, the AWS Partner Analytics Dashboard now consolidates data insights from AWS Marketplace and APN Customer Engagements (ACE) in AWS Partner Central—providing you a single pane of glass view of your AWS business activities.

Customers can now use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to automate the creation and retention of application-consistent EBS Snapshots for SAP HANA databases. In addition to backing up data using AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA, customers can now back up their SAP HANA databases as storage snapshots that can be easily and quickly copied into different AWS Regions and accounts for Disaster Recovery purposes.

Amazon Connect now provides a pre-built queue performance dashboard that helps contact center managers analyze, track, and improve contact center performance. This dashboard enables managers to view and compare real-time and historical aggregated queue performance using custom-defined time periods (e.g., week over week), a summary chart, and a time series graph. Managers can uncover trends and patterns at a glance across key metrics including service level, contacts handled, and average handle time to track and improve queue performance. For example, you can see when the current week service levels are lower than the prior week and determine if this is correlated with an increase in contacts handled or average handle time to determine and implement corrective actions.

Amazon Redshift now supports Canonical Name (CNAME) or custom domain name, an easy-to-read Domain Name System (DNS) record that routes SQL client connections to either the endpoint of your Amazon Redshift cluster or Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroup. With CNAME, you don’t need to expose your Redshift endpoint in the database connection, which enhances your security and it’s easier to recall and use. 

AWS CloudFormation launches a new parameter for the CreateChangeSet API called ImportExistingResources that streamlines the process of importing resources into stacks. When you deploy ChangeSets with the ImportExistingResources parameter, CloudFormation automatically imports the resources in your template that already exist in your AWS account. CloudFormation uses the custom names of resources in your template to determine their existence. With this launch, you can reduce the manual effort of import operations and avoid deployment failures because of naming conflicts.
