Today, we are announcing two new AWS Clean Rooms capabilities to help business and technical users collaborate more easily and at scale. Analysis Builder is a guided UI that helps business users to generate insights without writing any code. Business users can use analysis builder to create and edit queries in their AWS Clean Rooms collaboration, and specify their desired metrics, segments, and filters to get insights in a few steps. AWS Clean Rooms customers can also now use AWS CloudFormation templates to create, update, and delete their collaborations, as well as manage resources such as Configured Tables and Table associations. With support for CloudFormation templates, customers can more easily scale their collaborations for additional partners and use cases.

AWS Partners now have deeper insights into their Amazon Web Services (AWS) business through AWS Partner Analytics Dashboard , accessible from AWS Partner Central. The dashboard provides Alliance Leads for partners at the Validated or Differentiated with a 360-degree view of their AWS business, including opportunity pipeline, funding benefits, and pipeline revenue.

Amazon Connect Contact Lens now provides screen recording capabilities, making it easy for you to help agents improve their performance. With screen recording, you can identify areas for agent coaching (e.g., long contact handle duration or non-compliance with business processes) by not only listening to customer calls or reviewing chat transcripts, but also watching agents’ actions while handling a contact (i.e., a voice call, chat, or task). Screen recording is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) compliant and in scope for System Organization Controls (SOC 1 and SOC 2).

AWS Step Functions expands its AWS SDK integrations with support for 7 additional AWS services including Amazon VPC Lattice, Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor, AWS IoT TwinMaker, and Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MySQL now supports MySQL minor versions 5.7.42 and 8.0.33. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of MySQL, and to benefit from the bug fixes, performance improvements, and new functionality added by the MySQL community.
