We are announcing memory for chat agents in Amazon Quick Suite – a feature that allows users to get personalized responses based on their previous conversations. With this feature, Quick Suite remembers the preferences users specify in chat and generate responses that are tailored to them. Users can also view their inferred preferences and remove any memory they don’t want Quick chat agents to use.

Previously, chat users needed to repeat their preferences around response format, acronyms, dashboards, and integrations in every conversation. They also had to clarify ambiguous topics and entities in chat, increasing the tedious back and forth needed to get accurate and insightful responses. Memory addresses this pain point by remembering facts and details about users in a way that ensures responses provided to users continuously learn and improve. Users also control what Quick Suite remembers about them – all the memories are viewable and removable by users, and users have the choice to start chat in Private Mode in which conversations are not used to infer memories.

Memory in Quick Suite chat agents is available in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon). To learn more, visit the Amazon Quick Suite User Guide .

AWS Clean Rooms now publishes events to Amazon EventBridge for new member invitations and table readiness, delivering real-time insights and increasing transparency to collaboration members. Invited members to a collaboration now receive an EventBridge notification when invited to a Clean Rooms collaboration, making it easier for members to review new invitations and join collaborations. Collaboration members are also notified when AWS Entity Resolution resources are associated to a collaboration, such as ID mapping tables and ID namespaces, enabling you to automatically start analysis that uses related records across collaborators’ datasets. For example, when a publisher invites an advertiser to a collaboration, the publisher can automatically run their media planning analyses as soon as the advertiser has created their ID mapping table in the collaboration, reducing time-to-action from hours to minutes and increasing transparency between collaboration members.

With AWS Clean Rooms, customers can create a secure data clean room in minutes and collaborate with any company on AWS or Snowflake to generate unique insights about advertising campaigns, investment decisions, and research and development. For more information about the AWS Regions where AWS Clean Rooms is available, see the AWS Regions table.

Starting today, you can enable Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Route 53 to monitor the performance and health of Route 53 Resolver endpoints and any target name servers associated with your outbound Resolver endpoints.

Amazon Route 53 Resolver endpoints make hybrid cloud configurations easier to manage by enabling seamless DNS query resolution between your on-premises data center and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). The new metrics can be enabled on CloudWatch for each of your Resolver endpoints allowing you to assess the response latency of DNS queries received by the Resolver endpoints, the number of query responses that resulted in SERVFAIL, NXDOMAIN, REFUSED, or FORMERR statuses. You can also view the availability of target name servers associated with outbound Resolver endpoints, by viewing the response latency of the target server, and the number of queries that resulted in a timeout. The new metrics make it easy for you to quickly evaluate the health of your Route 53 Resolver endpoints and the associated target name servers.

To learn more about the metrics, read the documentation or visit the Route 53 VPC Resolver page . Standard CloudWatch and Resolver endpoint charges are applied for using the Route 53 Resolver endpoint detailed metrics.

AWS Artifact now enables direct access to previous versions of AWS compliance reports, eliminating the need to contact AWS Support or account representatives. This self-service capability helps customers efficiently manage their compliance documentation requirements, particularly during audits and vendor assessments that require historical compliance evidence.

To access previous report versions, you need the “artifact:ListReportVersions” IAM permission, which is included in the AWS managed policy “AWSArtifactReportsReadOnlyAccess”. If you’re unable to view previous versions of reports in the AWS Artifact console, please contact your AWS account administrator to request this permission.

Once authorized, you can access previous versions of compliance reports (such as SOC, ISO, and C5) directly through the AWS Artifact console. Simply navigate to the reports page and select any report to view its available versions. The availability of previous report versions varies by compliance program, with some reports offering versions from multiple prior years while others may have more limited historical coverage.

This feature is now generally available in US East (N. Virginia) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions.

To learn more about accessing previous versions of compliance reports, visit the AWS Artifact documentation . For general information about AWS Artifact, see the AWS Artifact product page .

AWS Security Incident Response now offers integration with the cloud-based team collaboration platform Slack, enabling you to prepare for, respond to, and recover from security events faster and more effectively while maintaining your existing notification and communication workflows. With the bidirectional integration, you can create and update cases in both the Security Incident Response console and Slack with automatic data replication. Each Security Incident Response case is represented as a dedicated Slack channel, while comments and attachments sync instantly. This gives responders immediate access to critical case information and enables more efficient collaboration regardless of tool preference.

The integration helps security teams engage faster and accelerate response times by automatically adding Security Incident Response watchers to the corresponding Slack channel. This integration is available as an open-source solution on GitHub, providing customers and partners the opportunity to customize and extend the functionality. The integration leverages EventBridge which allows customers to continue using their existing security incident management and notification tooling, while leveraging AWS Security Incident Response capabilities. The solution features a modular architecture, and includes guidance on how to use Amazon Q Developer , Kiro, or similar AI assistants that help make it easy to add new integration targets beyond Slack.
