Amazon CloudWatch agent now allows you to specify how long CloudWatch will retain log events. You can install and configure CloudWatch agent to collect system and application logs from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), on-premises hosts, and containerized applications and send them to CloudWatch. This new configuration option is intended for users who want to apply uniform log group retention periods when deploying the agent.

Amazon CloudWatch agent now supports  the collection of NVIDIA GPU performance metrics from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) accelerated computing instances running Linux. GPU-based instances provide access to NVIDIA GPUs with thousands of compute cores. You can use these instances to accelerate scientific, engineering, and rendering applications. Customers can install and configure CloudWatch agent to collect system and application metrics from Amazon EC2, on-premises hosts, and containerized applications and send them to CloudWatch. CloudWatch provides you with data and actionable insights to monitor your applications and optimize resource utilization. GPU metrics are intended for users who want to monitor the utilization of GPU co-processors in their EC2 accelerated instances.

Payment Profiles is a new payments feature that allows you to customize your payment preferences by AWS service provider (also known as “seller of record”). Using Payment Profiles, you can automatically pay your AWS bills from different service providers using payment methods you choose.

Amazon CloudWatch agent has added support for configurable log filter expressions. Customers can install and configure the CloudWatch agent to collect system and application logs from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), on-premises hosts, and containerized applications and send them to CloudWatch. This new configuration option is intended for users who want to collect only log events that meet specified criteria.
