AWS Weekly Roundup: Amazon Q, Amazon QuickSight, AWS CodeArtifact, Amazon Bedrock, and more (May 6, 2024)
April has been packed with new releases! Last week continued that trend with many new releases supporting a variety of domains such as security, analytics, devops, and many more, as well as more exciting new capabilities within generative AI. If you missed the AWS Summit London 2024, you can now watch the sessions on demand, […]
Build RAG applications with MongoDB Atlas, now available in Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock
Foundational models (FMs) are trained on large volumes of data and use billions of parameters. However, in order to answer customers’ questions related to domain-specific private data, they need to reference an authoritative knowledge base outside of the model’s training data sources. This is commonly achieved using a technique known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). […]
Stop the CNAME chain struggle: Simplified management with Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall
Updated 2 May 2024: I removed the reference to Route53 Alias that was incorrectly referred as a chain Starting today, you can configure your DNS Firewall to automatically trust all domains in a resolution chain (such as aCNAMEor DNAMEchain). Let’s walk through this in nontechnical terms for those unfamiliar with DNS. Why use DNS Firewall? […]
Add your Ruby gems to AWS CodeArtifact
Ruby developers can now use AWS CodeArtifact to securely store and retrieve their gems. CodeArtifact integrates with standard developer tools like gem and bundler. Applications often use numerous packages to speed up development by providing reusable code for common tasks like network access, cryptography, or data manipulation. Developers also embed SDKs–such as the AWS SDKs–to […]

Starting today, these new capabilities streamline the creation and management of agents: Quick agent creation – You can now quickly create an agent and optionally add instructions and action groups later, providing flexibility […]
Amazon Bedrock model evaluation is now generally available
This new capability helps you to incorporate generative AI into your application by letting you select the foundation model that gives you the best results for your particular use case.
Import custom models in Amazon Bedrock (preview)
With Amazon Bedrock, you have access to a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies that make it easier to build and scale generative AI applications. Some of these models provide publicly available weights that can be fine-tuned and customized for specific use cases. However, deploying customized FMs in a […]
Amazon Titan Image Generator and watermark detection API are now available in Amazon Bedrock
All images generated by Titan Image Generator contain an invisible watermark to help reduce the spread of misinformation by providing a mechanism to identify AI-generated images.
Unify DNS management using Amazon Route 53 Profiles with multiple VPCs and AWS accounts
If you are managing lots of accounts and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) resources, sharing and then associating many DNS resources to each VPC can present a significant burden. You often hit limits around sharing and association, and you may have gone as far as building your own orchestration layers to propagate DNS configuration […]
