Unified observability in Amazon OpenSearch Service: metrics, traces, and AI agent debugging in a single interface

Amazon OpenSearch Service now brings application monitoring, native Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus integration, and AI agent tracing together in OpenSearch UI’s observability workspace. In this post, we walk through two real-world scenarios using the OpenTelemetry sample app: a multi-agent travel planner facing slow processing, and a checkout flow quietly failing on one microservice.

Configure a custom domain name for your Amazon MSK cluster enabled with IAM authentication

In the first part of Configure a custom domain name for your Amazon MSK cluster, we discussed about why custom domain names are important and provided details on how to configure a custom domain name in Amazon MSK when using SASL_SCRAM authentication. In this post, we discuss how to configure a custom domain name in Amazon MSK when using IAM authentication.

Migrate third-party and self-managed Apache Kafka clusters to Amazon MSK Express brokers with Amazon MSK Replicator

In this post, we walk you through how to replicate Apache Kafka data from your external Apache Kafka deployments to Amazon MSK Express brokers using MSK Replicator. You will learn how to configure authentication on your external cluster, establish network connectivity, set up bidirectional replication, and monitor replication health to achieve a low-downtime migration.

Building unified data pipelines with Apache Iceberg and Apache Flink

In this post, you build a unified pipeline using Apache Iceberg and Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink that replaces the dual-pipeline approach. This walkthrough is for intermediate AWS users who are comfortable with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and AWS Glue Data Catalog but new to streaming from Apache Iceberg tables.

Getting started with Apache Iceberg write support in Amazon Redshift – Part 2

Amazon Redshift now supports DELETE, UPDATE, and MERGE operations for Apache Iceberg tables stored in Amazon S3 and Amazon S3 table buckets. With these operations, you can modify data at the row level, implement upsert patterns, and manage the data lifecycle while maintaining transactional consistency using familiar SQL syntax. You can run complex transformations in Amazon Redshift and write results to Apache Iceberg tables that other analytics engines like Amazon EMR or Amazon Athena can immediately query. In this post, you work with datasets to demonstrate these capabilities in a data synchronization scenario.
