📊 Amazon GameLift Servers now includes built-in telemetry metrics across all server SDKs and game engine plugins, powered by OpenTelemetry, to generate, collect, and export client-side metrics for game-specific insights. The feature can be configured to collect and publish telemetry from game servers running on managed Amazon EC2 and container fleets, supporting both pre-defined and custom metrics and exporting to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus or Amazon CloudWatch. Visualizations are available via Amazon Managed Grafana and Amazon CloudWatch dashboards to help optimize resources, improve player experience, and surface operational issues. Telemetry is available in all supported regions except AWS China; see the GameLift Servers documentation for details.

🔎 Amazon CloudWatch Agent now supports configurable Windows Event Log filters for Windows hosts running on Amazon EC2 or on‑premises. You can define per-stream filter criteria in the agent configuration file — including event levels, specific event IDs, and regular expressions set to include or exclude — and the agent evaluates each event to determine whether it should be sent to CloudWatch. This reduces noisy ingestion and helps focus monitoring, troubleshooting, and cost control; the feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US).

🚀 AWS for Fluent Bit 3.0.0, based on Fluent Bit 4.1.1 and built on Amazon Linux 2023, is now available for Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS customers. The release introduces native OpenTelemetry (OTel) support to ingest and forward OTLP logs, metrics, and traces with AWS SigV4 authentication, removing the need for additional sidecars. It delivers faster JSON parsing and higher log throughput per vCPU with lower latency, plus configurable TLS minimum versions and cipher controls to strengthen output security. Upgrade by pulling the 3.0.0 image from the Amazon ECR Public Gallery, updating your ECS FireLens task definition, or updating the DaemonSet/Helm release on EKS.

🚀 AWS for Fluent Bit 3.0.0, based on Fluent Bit 4.1.0 and Amazon Linux 2023, delivers faster, more secure container logging for Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. It adds native OpenTelemetry (OTel) support for OTLP logs, metrics, and traces with SigV4 authentication and faster JSON parsing for higher throughput and lower latency. TLS minimum version and cipher controls enforce stronger output security. The image is available in the Amazon ECR Public Gallery and Amazon ECR, and source code and guidance are provided on GitHub.

📈 Amazon has expanded the CloudWatch and OpenSearch Service integrated analytics experience to five additional commercial regions: Asia Pacific (Osaka and Seoul), Europe (Milan and Spain), and US West (N. California). CloudWatch Logs customers can now query logs with SQL or OpenSearch PPL in addition to CloudWatch Logs Insights QL, including JOINs, subqueries, and rich JSON, mathematical, datetime and string functions. With a few clicks, users can create OpenSearch dashboards for VPC, WAF, and CloudTrail logs and analyze data in-place without copying logs or building ETL pipelines.

🔍 AWS X-Ray now supports adaptive sampling to automatically adjust trace sampling within user-defined limits. This feature offers two modes—Sampling Boost to temporarily raise sampling when anomalies are detected and Anomaly Span Capture to retain spans tied to anomalies even if the full trace isn't sampled. Adaptive sampling aims to reduce MTTR by capturing critical traces during incidents while keeping observability costs low. It is available in all commercial regions where X‑Ray is offered.

🛰️ Amazon Route 53 Resolver Query Logging is now available in Asia Pacific (New Zealand). You can log DNS queries originating in VPCs to capture queried domain names, the AWS resources that issued the queries (including source IP and instance ID), and the responses received. Logs can be delivered to Amazon S3, CloudWatch Logs, or Amazon Data Firehose, and query logging configurations may be shared across accounts via AWS RAM. There is no additional Route 53 charge for enabling query logging, though storage and ingestion on the chosen destination may incur costs.

🔁 Amazon CloudWatch now supports cross-account, cross-region log centralization, allowing customers to copy log data from multiple AWS accounts and regions into a single destination account and integrate with AWS Organizations. Copied log events are enriched with new system fields (@aws.account and @aws.region) to preserve source context, and administrators can scope rules to the entire organization, selected OUs, or specific accounts. The feature supports selective log-group copying, automatic merging of same-named groups, optional backup-region copies, and includes one free centralized copy with additional copies billed at $0.05/GB.
