AWS has launched AWS DevOps Agent in preview — an autonomous, frontier-class agent that proactively prevents and resolves incidents across AWS, multicloud, and hybrid environments.
AWS DevOps Agent learns your infrastructure, resources, and relationships, working seamlessly with observability tools, runbooks, code repositories, and CI/CD pipelines.
The agent continuously analyzes historical incidents to recommend improvements in observability, infrastructure, and deployment pipelines.
It unlocks deep operational insights without requiring any changes to your existing workflows.

Introducing AWS AI Factories 🛠🏗🚀

AWS AI Factories are fully managed, high-performance AI infrastructure deployments that AWS installs directly inside your own data center. They provide Trainium, NVIDIA GPUs, storage, networking, and integrated AWS AI services like Bedrock and SageMaker, giving you a private, sovereign, cloud-like environment for building and training AI without negotiating separate model contracts. This allows governments and enterprises to run advanced AI workloads securely on-premises while AWS handles all setup, management, and optimization.

AWS launches simplified enablement of AWS CloudTrail events in Amazon CloudWatch 🚀

AWS has launched simplified enablement of AWS CloudTrail events directly into Amazon CloudWatch, allowing you to centrally configure CloudTrail event collection alongside other logs like VPC Flow Logs and EKS Control Plane Logs. This creates a unified ingestion experience that simplifies telemetry collection across all accounts in your AWS Organization. The integration uses service-linked channels (SLCs), eliminating the need for CloudTrail trails and adding safety checks and termination protection. You will incur normal CloudTrail event delivery charges plus CloudWatch Logs ingestion fees.

Great start of the week to everyone! ❤️

Amazon S3 increases the maximum object size to 50 TB 😎

Amazon S3 has increased the maximum object size from 5 TB to 50 TB, making it easier to store massive files like high-resolution video, seismic data files, and AI training datasets. The new limit applies to all S3 storage classes and works with all existing S3 features. You can improve upload and download performance using the AWS Common Runtime (CRT) and S3 Transfer Manager. Large objects can still use S3 Lifecycle policies, Glacier archival, and S3 Replication. The 50 TB object size is supported in all AWS Regions. 💪

🆕 Автоматическое создание ECR репозиториев

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/12/amazon-ecr-creating-repositories-on-push/

Теперь для тех, кто не пользовался IaC праздник — сделав docker push, не получите ошибку, а запушите образ в новый репозиторий, который создастся на лету (если такого не было).

ECR репозиторий может быть автоматически создан на:

PULL_THROUGH_CACHE
CREATE_ON_PUSH
REPLICATION

Фича сделана для тех, кому "сделай кнопку, чтобы работало", что понимаю, но не одобряю.

Для минимизации ущерба девопсам крайне рекомендую сделать repository creation template, который позволит добавить свой ключ шифрования (без шаблона AES-256), включить политики (Repository policies & Lifecycle policies) и добавить тэги.
