Amazon Connect now provides configurable thresholds for schedule adherence, giving you more flexibility in how you track agent performance. You can define thresholds for how early or late agents start or end their shifts, as well as for individual activities. For example, agents can start their shift 5 minutes early and end 10 minutes late, or end their breaks 3 minutes late, without negatively impacting their adherence scores. You can further customize these thresholds for individual teams. For example, teams that handle contacts with long handle times can be given more flexibility in when they start their breaks. This launch enables managers to focus on true adherence violations and eliminates the impact of minor schedule deviations on agent performance, thus improving manager productivity and agent satisfaction.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available. To learn more about Amazon Connect agent scheduling, click here .

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M8g instances are available in AWS Europe (Paris), Asia Pacific (Osaka), AWS Canada (Central), and AWS Middle East (Bahrain) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances. Amazon EC2 M8g instances are built for general-purpose workloads, such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, midsize data stores, and caching fleets. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System , which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads.

AWS Graviton4-based Amazon EC2 instances deliver the best performance and energy efficiency for a broad range of workloads running on Amazon EC2. These instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPUs and memory compared to Graviton3-based Amazon M7g instances. AWS Graviton4 processors are up to 40% faster for databases, 30% faster for web applications, and 45% faster for large Java applications than AWS Graviton3 processors. M8g instances are available in 12 different instance sizes, including two bare metal sizes. They offer up to 50 Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).

To learn more, see Amazon EC2 M8g Instances . To explore how to migrate your workloads to Graviton-based instances, see AWS Graviton Fast Start program and Porting Advisor for Graviton . To get started, see the AWS Management Console . 

Amazon Route 53 Profiles now supports AWS PrivateLink . Customers can now access and manage their Profiles privately, without going through the public internet. AWS PrivateLink provides private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and on-premises applications, securely over the Amazon network. When Route 53 Profiles is accessed via AWS PrivateLink, all operations, such as creating, deleting, editing, and listing of Profiles, can be handled via the Amazon private network. 

Route 53 Profiles allows you to define a standard DNS configuration, in the form of a Profile, that may include Route 53 private hosted zone (PHZ) associations, Route 53 Resolver rules, and Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall rule groups, and apply this configuration to multiple VPCs in your account. Profiles can also be used to enforce DNS settings for your VPCs, with configurations for DNSSEC validations, Resolver reverse DNS lookups, and the DNS Firewall failure mode. You can share Profiles with AWS accounts in your organization using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM). Customers can use Profiles with AWS PrivateLink in regions where Route 53 Profiles is available today, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For more information about the AWS Regions where Profiles is available, see here .

To learn more about configuring Route 53 Profiles, please refer to the service documentation .
