Automating IT support with AI: How Nexthink uses OpenSearch Service to power self-service issue resolution
In this post, we explore how Nexthink combined Amazon OpenSearch Service vector search, Amazon Bedrock, and infrastructure as code to power the Spark agent’s retrieval layer.
AI-assisted data development with Kiro and SageMaker Unified Studio
With the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code, you can connect Kiro, VS Code, or Cursor directly to Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio. This post demonstrates the integration using Kiro. The same Remote Access connection works with VS Code and Cursor. The post starts by showing what you can do with this integration: using natural language to explore and analyze data in a governed environment. We then walk through the setup so you can try it yourself.
Building AI shopping agent using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime and Amazon OpenSearch Service
In this post, we explore how to build an online shopping AI agent. We focus on its architecture and implementation with Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Strands Agents. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is an agentic platform for deploying and operating those agents and tools securely at scale without managing infrastructure.
Query Amazon Redshift using natural language with Kiro
In this post, you learn how to set up Kiro with the Amazon Redshift MCP server to query your data warehouse using natural language. You explore cluster discovery, schema browsing, analytical queries, cross-cluster comparisons, and data quality checks, all without writing SQL from scratch or switching between tools.
Build governance dashboards for Amazon SageMaker Catalog with AWS Quick
In a previous post, we showed you how to query Amazon SageMaker Catalog metadata using SQL by using the metadata export feature. This post builds on that foundation by demonstrating how to create governance dashboards with Amazon Quick.
Automate deployment of data and AI applications with Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio CI/CD CLI
The CI/CD CLI for Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (aws-smus-cicd-cli) is an open source command line tool that automates deployment of multi-service data and AI applications across pipeline stages. Data teams define their application once in a YAML manifest, DevOps teams deploy with a single command, and the CLI handles configuration substitution, dependency ordering, and resource provisioning automatically. In this post, we walk through how the CI/CD CLI works, show you how to deploy a real application across environments, and demonstrate how it fits into your existing CI/CD workflows.
Securing client confidentiality at scale: Automated data discovery and governed analytics for legal workloads
In this post, we show you a reference architecture that automates sensitive data discovery across legal document repositories on Amazon Web Services (AWS), demonstrate how to capture structured findings as a compliance dataset, and guide you through building a governed analytics workspace that maintains your security boundaries. You walk away with a practical model for building security and analytics into the same lifecycle, without moving documents outside their system of record.
Detect and resolve HBase inconsistencies faster with AI on Amazon EMR
In this post, we show you how to build an AI-powered troubleshooting solution using Amazon OpenSearch Service vector search and intelligent analysis. This solution reduces HBase inconsistency resolution from hours to minutes and root cause identification from days to hours through natural language queries over operational data. This democratizes HBase troubleshooting capabilities across teams and reducing dependency on specialized expertise.
Introducing Amazon MSK Express Broker power for Kiro
In this post, we’ll show you how to use Kiro powers, a new capability that equips Kiro with contextual knowledge and tooling. You can simplify your MSK cluster management, from initial setup to diagnosing common issues, all through natural language conversations.
Modernize business intelligence workloads using AWS Quick
In this post, we provide implementation guidance for building integrated analytics solutions that combine the generative BI features of Amazon Quick with Amazon Redshift and Amazon Athena SQL analytics capabilities.
