The Amazon FSx for OpenZFS Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver is now available as an open-source project. The CSI driver makes it easy for developers to use Amazon FSx for OpenZFS with their Kubernetes containers running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or on self-managed Kubernetes clusters running on Amazon EC2. 

Amazon Translate is a neural machine translation service that delivers fast, high-quality, affordable, and customizable language translation. Today we are announcing enhancements to the custom terminology feature that will improve translation fluency and accuracy. The enhancement creates contextually appropriate versions of matching terms to generate translations of higher quality. For example, if the matching term is singular, but the sentence requires a plural, the new version automatically performs this conversion. This enhancement also allows customers to expand the application of their term bases to wider set of translations, as illustrated in the example below.

Starting today, AWS Elemental MediaConnect now publishes flow metrics to Amazon CloudWatch in 1-second intervals, instead of the previous 1-minute interval rate. These metrics can be retrieved using the console or the CloudWatch API at 1-second periods for up to 3 hours after the datapoints are created.

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) has expanded the functionality of premigration assessments. A premigration assessment evaluates the source and target databases of a database migration task to help identify any problems that might prevent a migration from running as expected. By identifying and fixing issues before a migration starts, you can avoid delays in completing the database migration.

AWS CloudFormation announces the general availability (GA) of AWS CloudFormation Guard 3.0 (cfn-guard). cfn-guard is an open-source domain-specific language (DSL) and command line interface (CLI) that helps enterprises validate that their cloud infrastructure complies with company policy guidelines. Developers use cfn-guard to write rules and validate JSON- and YAML-formatted data such as CloudFormation Templates, K8s configurations, and Terraform JSON plans/configurations against those rules. Guard 3.0 allows customers to define complex rules and accelerates development velocity with a new deployment method for cfn-guard-lambda.

Amazon Connect Chat now supports new interactive message types, including quick replies and carousels, enabling you to create richer customer experiences and resolve issues faster. Quick replies allow you to present a list of options that customers can click to respond (e.g., “Yes,” “No”), and carousels enable customers to browse through options (e.g., list of products) and make a selection. These interactive message types enable you to send customers pre-configured response options, eliminating the need for a customer to type their response.
