Debugging Apache Airflow DAG failures across services like AWS Glue, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Athena is slow and manual. In this post, we show you how to build a custom Airflow plugin that integrates with Amazon Bedrock to automatically analyze DAG task failures and deliver on-demand root cause analysis on Amazon MWAA.

Announcing Spark Connect on Amazon EMR on EKS: build, test, and debug Spark applications from VS Code, PyCharm, Jupyter notebooks, Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, or dbt, while running full-scale Spark operations on your existing Amazon EKS clusters.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL zero-ETL integration with Amazon SageMaker replicates your operational data to a lakehouse in near real time, without building custom ETL pipelines. Learn the architecture and change data capture mechanics, then set up the integration and query your data in Amazon SageMaker.

Amazon Redshift now supports evolving Apache Iceberg table schemas and partition layouts through ALTER statements, with no data rewrites or pipeline rebuilds. In this final post of the series, you rename, add, drop, and widen columns, evolve partitions, and create AWS Lake Formation resource links for governed cross-engine access to Amazon S3 Tables.

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports custom permissions boundaries for the IAM roles its Tooling blueprint creates. Learn how to create a permissions boundary that restricts AI agent capabilities, configure it on the Tooling blueprint with the AWS CLI, and validate that every provisioned role carries the boundary.

Configuring VPC networking per project across a SageMaker Unified Studio domain creates inconsistent, hard-to-audit networks. This post shows administrators how to configure domain-level VPC networking once, so every new project automatically inherits consistent, private network isolation, then update existing projects and validate connectivity.

Amazon EMR on EC2 now supports Spark Connect, so you can develop and debug PySpark interactively from Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio Data Notebooks or your own IDE while Spark runs on your cluster. This post shows you how to get started from both a Data Notebook and a local IDE.

In Part 2 of this series, sign in as a data consumer, subscribe to enriched unstructured data assets in Amazon SageMaker Catalog, and query them using natural language through a no-code Amazon Bedrock chat agent and Amazon Bedrock model inference.

Learn how United Airlines uses AWS Glue Data Catalog federation to query Databricks Unity Catalog data directly from Amazon Redshift Serverless without duplicating data, using resource links and AWS Lake Formation for governance.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now supports scaling down ingest capacity for on-demand Advantage streams with warm throughput. Learn how the scale-down works, how to monitor stream behavior with Amazon CloudWatch, and best practices for releasing excess capacity after transient traffic bursts.
