Amazon Quick Sight, a capability of Amazon Quick Suite, now offers a visual data preparation experience that helps business users perform advanced data transformations without writing complex code. Users can now clean, transform, and combine data in multi-step workflows—appending tables, aggregating data, executing flexible joins, and other advanced operations that previously required custom programming or SQL commands. Users can easily track data transformations step-by-step, enhancing traceability and shareability. With the ability to utilize datasets as a source expanded from 3 to 10 levels, teams can build reusable transformation logic that cascades across departments. For instance, centralized data analysts can now prepare foundational data sets that can then be further customized by regional business users, applying territory-specific calculations and business logic with simple clicks. The enhanced experience now also supports 20X larger cross-source joins, moving from a previous capacity of 1GB to 20GB today. This feature is available to Quick Sight Author and Author Pro customers in the following regions: US East (N.Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), South America (Sao Paulo), Europe (Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm, Ireland, London, Zurich), Africa (Cape Town), Middle East (UAE), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney), AWS GovCloud (US-West, US- East) and to Quick Suite Enterprise subscribers in US East (N.

Amazon Connect outbound campaigns now offers a preview dialing mode that gives agents more context about a customer before placing a call. Agents can see key customer information—such as name, account balance, and prior interactions—and choose the right moment to call. Campaign managers can tailor preview settings and monitor performance through new dashboards that bring visibility to agent behavior, campaign outcomes, and customer engagement trends. Without proper context, agents struggle to personalize interactions, leading to low customer engagement and poor experiences. Additionally, businesses can face steep regulatory penalties under laws such as the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or the UK Office of Communications (OFCOM) for delays in customer-agent connection. With preview dialing, campaign managers can define review time limits and optionally enable contact removal from campaigns. During preview, agents see a countdown timer alongside customer data and can initiate calls at any moment. Analytics reveal performance patterns—such as average preview time or discard volume—giving managers data to optimize strategy and coach teams effectively. By reserving an agent prior to placing the call, companies can support compliance with regulations while bringing precision to outbound calling, improving both customer connection and operational control. With Amazon Connect outbound campaigns, companies pay-as-they-go for campaign processing and channel usage. Preview dialing is available in AWS regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London). To learn more about configuring preview dialing, visit our https://aws.amazon.com/connect/outbound/.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch_Synthetics_Canaries.html introduces multi-check blueprints, enabling customers to create comprehensive synthetic tests using simple JSON configuration files. This new feature addresses the challenge many customers face when developing custom scripts for basic endpoint monitoring, which often lack the depth needed for thorough synthetic testing across various check types like HTTP endpoints with different authentication methods, DNS record validation, SSL certificate monitoring, and TCP port checks. With multi-check blueprints, customers can now bundle up to 10 different monitoring steps, one step per endpoint, in a single canary, making API monitoring more cost-effective and easier to implement. The solution provides built-in support for complex assertions on response codes, latency, headers, and body content, along with seamless integration with AWS Secrets Manager for secure credential handling. Customers benefit from detailed step-by-step results and debugging capabilities through the existing CloudWatch Synthetics console, significantly simplifying the process of implementing comprehensive API monitoring compared to writing individual custom canaries for each check. This feature streamlines monitoring workflows, reduces costs, and enhances the overall efficiency of synthetic monitoring setups. Multi-check blueprints are available in all commercial AWS regions where Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics is offered. For pricing details, see https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/. To learn more about multi-check blueprints and how to get started, see the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch_Synthetics_Canaries_Blueprints.html.

https://aws.amazon.com/rds/sqlserver/ now allows maintaining Change Data Capture (CDC) settings and metadata when restoring native database backups. CDC is a Microsoft SQL Server feature that customers can use to record insert, update, and delete operations occurring in a database table, and make these changes accessible to applications. When a database is restored from a backup, CDC configurations and data are not preserved by default, which can result in gaps in data capture. With this new feature, customers can preserve their database CDC settings when restoring a database backup to a new instance, or a different database name. To retain CDC configurations, customers can specify the KEEP_CDC option when restoring a database backup. This option ensures that the CDC metadata and any captured change data are kept intact. Refer to the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.SQLServer.Options.BackupRestore.html to learn more about KEEP_CDC. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon RDS for SQL Server is available.

https://aws.amazon.com/rds/sqlserver/ now supports encrypting native backups in Amazon S3 using server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS). When customers create database backup files (.bak files) in their Amazon S3 buckets, the backup files are automatically encrypted using server-side encryption with Amazon S3-managed keys (SSE-S3). Now, customers have the option to additionally encrypt their native backup files in Amazon S3 using their own AWS KMS key for additional protection. To use SSE-KMS encryption for native backups, customers must update their KMS key policies to provide access to the RDS backup service, and specify the parameter @enable_bucket_default_encryption in their native backup stored procedure. For detailed instructions on how to use SSE-KMS with native backups, please refer to the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/SQLServer.Procedural.Importing.html. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon RDS for SQL Server is available.
