Starting with Amazon Neptune version 1.2.0.2, customers can now use real-time inductive inference with Amazon Neptune ML to enable machine learning (ML) predictions on nodes, edges and properties (entities) that were added to the graph after the ML model training process. With this launch, customers can make predictions on new data without requiring an update to their ML models. Amazon Neptune ML is powered by Amazon SageMaker, and uses Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), a machine learning technique purpose-built for graph that can improve the accuracy of most predictions for graphs by over 50% when compared to making predictions using non-graph methods based on published research from Stanford University.

Amazon DevOps Guru for RDS now detects if your Amazon Aurora database is receiving a significantly larger number of SQL queries and if those queries are reading more data than usual. This new functionality will help you to discover, in the event of degraded database performance, if an application traffic change is the likely cause of the performance degradation. If you use DevOps Guru for RDS, you don’t have to take any specific step in order to use this functionality. As long as you have DevOps Guru for RDS monitoring turned on for your Amazon Aurora databases, this new feature will be available wherever applicable.

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports copying option groups during in-region cross-account snapshot copy requests using the API, CLI, or AWS Backup. Amazon RDS uses option groups to enable and configure features that make it simple to manage your databases. Copying the option groups with the snapshot on cross account copy allows you to restore that snapshot in the target account with the same options as the source snapshot without needing to reconfigure the option groups. 

You can now enable granular access controls for users by configuring resource tags within the Amazon Connect admin website. Tagging a user allows you to configure granular permissions and define who is able to access a specific user record. For example, you can now tag users with Team:Innovators and then only let the Innovators team manager see or edit these users. To learn more about tagging users and tag-based access controls, see the Connect Administrator Guide .
