AWS Lambda now supports Amazon MSK, self-manged Apache Kafka and Amazon MQ for Apache ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ as event sources in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. This gives customers more choices for how they want to send messages to Lambda. Customers can build applications quickly and easily with Lambda functions that are invoked based on messages from these event sources connected to an event source mapping.

Starting today, you can use Amazon SageMaker Studio in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions to perform all ML development steps in one place, from preparing raw data to building, training, and deploying ML models.

AWS Glue Crawler now supports the ability for customers to bring their own custom JDBC drivers to extract data schemas from data sources and populate the AWS Glue Data Catalog. Glue Crawlers already support JDBC Glue connections to supported data sources on AWS. Now, you can bring your own JDBC driver versions to connect to data sources in Glue Crawlers. These data sources include Postgres, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and Amazon Redshift.

Amazon Connect Contact Lens now provides supervisor alerts on agent performance, enabling businesses to identify contacts (e.g., evaluation score < 50%) that require supervisors follow-up with agents on their team. Supervisors can now do proactive follow-ups with specific agents on their team that require more immediate support instead of waiting for periodic follow-ups with every agent on their team.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) now supports AWS Graviton2-based M6g and R6g database instances in Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Jakarta), Europe (Spain), and the Middle East (UAE). Depending on the database engine, version, and workload, Graviton2-based instances provide up to 19% better price/performance than comparable M4 and R4 instances.

AWS Marketplace now features a new self-service listing experience in the AWS Marketplace Management Portal for single AMI products. The new feature enables AWS Marketplace sellers to publish and update AMI listings more quickly and easily.
