Amazon EC2 introduces AMI Usage, providing new capabilities that allow you to track AMI consumption across AWS accounts and identify resources in your account that are dependent on particular AMIs. This enhanced visibility helps you monitor AMI utilization patterns across your AWS infrastructure and safely manage AMI deregistrations.

Up until today, you had to write custom scripts to track the use of AMIs across accounts and resources, leading to operational overhead. Now, with AMI Usage, you can generate a report that lists the accounts that are using your AMIs in EC2 instances and launch templates. You can also check utilization of any AMI within your account across multiple resources, including instances, launch templates, Image Builder recipes, and SSM parameters. These new capabilities empower you to maintain clear oversight of AMI usage across your AWS ecosystem, better manage the lifecycle of your AMIs, and optimize costs.

AMI Usage is available to all customers at no additional cost in all AWS regions including AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and AWS GovCloud (US). To learn more, please visit our documentation.

AWS CloudFormation Hooks now supports managed proactive controls, enabling customers to validate resource configurations against AWS best practices without writing custom Hooks logic. Customers can select controls from the AWS Control Tower Controls Catalog and apply them during CloudFormation operations. When using CloudFormation, customers can configure these controls to run in warn mode, allowing teams to test controls without blocking deployments and giving them the flexibility to evaluate control behavior before enforcing policies in production. This significantly reduces setup time, eliminates manual errors, and ensures comprehensive governance coverage across your infrastructure.

AWS also introduced a new Hooks Invocation Summary page in the CloudFormation console. This centralized view provides a complete historical record of Hooks activity, showing which controls were invoked, their execution details, and outcomes such as pass, warn, or fail. This simplifies compliance reporting issues faster.

With this launch, customers can now leverage AWS-managed controls as part of their provisioning workflows, eliminating the overhead of writing and maintaining custom logic. These controls are curated by AWS and aligned with industry best practices, helping teams enforce consistent policies across all environments. The new summary page delivers essential visibility into Hook invocation history, enabling faster issue resolution and streamlined compliance reporting.

The Hook invocation summary page is available in all commercial and GovCloud (US) regions, and control selection is available in all in all commercials regions. To learn more, visit the AWS CloudFormation Proactive Control Hooks and AWS CloudFormation Hooks View Invocations documentations.

Una forma más inteligente de hablar con su televisor: Microsoft Copilot se lanza en televisores y monitores Samsung

Por: Equipo de Copilot.

La IA impulsada por voz se encuentra con un compañero visual para el entretenimiento, la ayuda diaria y todo lo demás.

Anunciamos el lanzamiento de Copilot en televisores y monitores Samsung seleccionados, para transformar la pantalla más grande de su hogar en su compañero más personal y útil, y es de uso gratuito.  

Copilot hace que su televisor sea más fácil y divertido de usar con su interfaz impulsada por voz, su personaje amigable en pantalla y sus sencillas tarjetas visuales. Ahora pueden encontrar con rapidez lo que buscan y descubrir nuevos favoritos directo desde su sala de estar.   

Debido a que vive en la pantalla más grande del hogar, Copilot es una experiencia social, algo que pueden usar junto con familiares y amigos para iniciar conversaciones, ayudar a los grupos a decidir qué ver y convertir el televisor en un espacio compartido para la curiosidad y la conexión.

«Copilot en televisores y monitores Samsung saca la IA de su bolsillo y la lleva al corazón de su hogar», dijo David Washington, gerente general de socios de Microsoft AI. «Está ahí cuando ustedes y su familia quieren descubrir algo para ver juntos, obtener respuestas a sus preguntas, planificar su fin de semana o tan solo pasar el rato».

Basado en la asociación

Microsoft y Samsung tienen una larga historia de reunir lo mejor de la tecnología, desde Windows y Office en dispositivos Galaxy hasta Xbox Cloud Gaming en televisores Samsung. Esta colaboración aporta ese mismo espíritu de innovación a Copilot, para hacer que su televisor sea más inteligente, más personal y más divertido.

Para resúmenes, madrigueras de conejo y todo lo demás

Copilot brilla cuando se trata de encontrar su próxima cosa favorita para ver, pero también está ahí para las pequeñas preguntas, los grandes planes y los momentos cotidianos intermedios.

• Resúmenes personalizados y sin spoilers: «Quiero volver a The Crown, lo dejé en la temporada 3, episodio 4. ¿Qué pasó hasta entonces?»
• Recomendaciones ultraespecíficas: «Como The Queen’s Gambit, pero sobre cocinar en lugar de ajedrez, y menos de dos horas».  
• Selecciones para grupos: «A Hannah le gustan las comedias románticas, a David le gusta la ciencia ficción, a Mark le gustan los thrillers. ¿Qué es algo que nos gustará a todos?» Perfecto para cuando todos están reunidos en la sala de estar y quieren decidir juntos.  
• Inmersiones profundas posteriores a la visualización: «¿Quién fue el actor de voz de ese personaje?» o «¿Qué más ha hecho el director?»
• Ayuda diaria: «¿Habrá el sábado en Seattle buenas condiciones para hacer senderismo?» o «Anímame después de una ruptura».  

Una experiencia más visual, más personal

La apariencia de Copilot  es una presencia amigable y animada en su televisor que reacciona y sincroniza los labios mientras hablan, con expresiones que coinciden con el tono de la conversación. Es un recordatorio visible de que su compañero los escucha, piensa y responde solo para ustedes. 

Y cuando Copilot responde, no solo se los dice, sino que se los muestra. Los resultados de películas, clima e imágenes aparecen como tarjetas ricas y visibles diseñadas para la pantalla grande, con calificaciones, fotos y detalles clave. 

Cómo funciona

1. Activar Copilot: Copilot se implementará en automático en televisores Samsung seleccionados. Los usuarios pueden ver Copilot (en la pestaña Aplicaciones) en el Samsung Tizen OS home Samsung Daily+. Presionen el botón del micrófono en su control remoto Samsung y hablen con naturalidad. 
2. (Opcional) Inicien sesión para un toque personal: usen un código QR rápido para conectar su cuenta de Microsoft y desbloquear la personalización, la memoria y las preferencias de Copilot por ustedes.  
3. Pidan lo que quieren: Ya sea un título, una pregunta o un consejo, Copilot los entiende.
4. Vean y escuchen su respuesta: vean cómo Copilot responde con una combinación de imágenes y voz.

Disponibilidad
Copilot se lanza en la línea 2025 de televisores y monitores Samsung ^[1] y ya está disponible, con más años de modelo y características a seguir. La experiencia está disponible sin costo alguno. 

^[1] Copilot está disponible en los modelos de TV 2025, incluidos Micro RGB, Neo QLED, OLED, The Frame Pro, The Frame, así como en los monitores inteligentes M7, M8 y M9.
