Amazon CloudWatch logs centralization rules now support customizable destination log group structure

Amazon CloudWatch now supports customizing destination log group names when creating CloudWatch log centralization rules. Organizations managing logs across multiple accounts can now use attributes to organize centralized logs into meaningful hierarchies — by account ID, region, organizational unit, or other AWS Organizations metadata — that match how their organization operates and what their compliance requirements demand.

You can define a destination log group name structure using attributes that CloudWatch Logs automatically replaces with actual values when logs are copied. For example, using the pattern ${source.accountId}/${source.region}/${source.logGroup} creates destination log groups like 123456789012/us-east-1/cloudtrail/managementevent, making it easy to identify which account and region logs originated from. You can use attributes, including source account ID, region, log group name, organization ID, organizational unit ID, root ID, and the full organizational path.

Customizable destination log group names are available in all centralization rules supported regions.

Customers can use centralization rules to centralize one copy of logs for free (ingestion). Additional copies are charged at $0.05/GB of logs centralized (the backup region feature is considered an additional copy). Storage charges apply. To learn more, visit the CloudWatch Logs Centralization documentation.

Celebramos 250 millones: Empoderar a las comunidades para que habiliten la economía global de la IA

Celebramos 250 millones: Empoderar a las comunidades para que habiliten la economía global de la IA

Ilustración de la Tierra con un fondo abstracto

Por: Melanie Nakagawa, directora de sostenibilidad, Microsoft.

Antes del Mobile World Congress, donde líderes mundiales, gobiernos e industria se reúnen en el mayor evento de conectividad del mundo, Microsoft ha marcado un hito importante en nuestros esfuerzos por expandir el acceso digital a nivel mundial. En 2022, asumimos un compromiso valiente para ampliar el acceso a internet a 250 millones de personas antes de finales de 2025. Hoy, nos enorgullece compartir que hemos alcanzado y superado ese objetivo, para extender la cobertura de conectividad a más de 299 millones de personas en todo el mundo, incluidas más de 124 millones en África.

Este hito representa más que un número. Refleja más de una década de colaboración sostenida con gobiernos, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro, proveedores de conectividad local y socios de desarrollo en todo el mundo. Juntos, hemos trabajado para llegar a comunidades donde el acceso ha sido limitado a nivel histórico, lo que ha permitido abrir caminos hacia la educación, la sanidad, la oportunidad económica y la participación digital.

Mapa mundial en tonos azules

Alcanzar este hito es también un momento de reflexión y renovación. A partir de años de progreso, Microsoft evoluciona su enfoque hacia el acceso digital para centrarse no solo en la cobertura, sino también en la adopción, la habilitación y la participación a largo plazo en la economía de la IA.

Como parte de este nuevo capítulo, anunciamos una nueva colaboración con Starlink. Esta colaboración amplía el conjunto de herramientas disponibles para ayudar a ofrecer acceso digital en comunidades rurales, agrícolas y de difícil acceso. Combinado con socios locales de entrega e instituciones comunitarias, fortalece las bases para comunidades preparadas para la IA en todo el mundo.

Por qué importa el acceso digital en la era de la IA

A pesar del progreso continuo, 2.200 millones de personas en todo el mundo siguen desconectadas, y muchas más se enfrentan a barreras relacionadas con la asequibilidad, la fiabilidad o el acceso a servicios digitales relevantes. Estas brechas ya limitan las oportunidades y se amplían el riesgo a medida que la IA se vuelve más central en el crecimiento de las economías y el funcionamiento de las sociedades.

Pirámide de colores con datos

En el Mobile World Congress 2024, Brad Smith, vicepresidente y presidente de Microsoft, compartió nuestros Principios de Acceso a la IA, donde subraya que la electricidad y la conectividad son bases esenciales para una economía inclusiva de la IA. Desde entonces, el ritmo del cambio solo se ha acelerado. De hecho, el Informe de Difusión de la IA de Microsoft 2025 muestra que la IA se adopta más rápido que cualquier tecnología de propósito general en la historia, pero la adopción sigue desigual. Como ilustran los datos, la adopción en el Norte Global se acelera más rápido que en el Sur Global. Las diferencias en infraestructuras, acceso a herramientas y preparación digital contribuyen a una creciente brecha entre economías de ingresos altos y de ingresos bajos.

Gráfico de barras

Este gráfico del Informe de Difusión de la IA 2025 refuerza una idea clara: el acceso a la IA por sí solo no es suficiente. Para que las comunidades participen de manera significativa en la era digital y de la IA, la conectividad debe combinarse con energía fiable, dispositivos asequibles, habilidades digitales y tecnologías diseñadas para uso real. Donde existen estas condiciones, se produce la adopción. En Zambia, por ejemplo, la adopción de IA generativa a nivel nacional es del 12 por ciento, pero entre quienes tienen acceso a internet sube al 34 por ciento.

Profundizar el enfoque de Microsoft hacia el acceso digital

Basándonos en lo que hemos aprendido, Microsoft impulsa un modelo de acceso digital más holístico que reconoce la conectividad como solo una parte de un sistema más amplio. En la práctica, esto significa colaboración para ofrecer no solo acceso a internet, sino también infraestructuras energéticas más fiables, acceso al agua cuando sea relevante, dispositivos, habilidades digitales y herramientas en la nube e IA, todo diseñado y desplegado para las comunidades a las que sirve. Al trabajar entre organizaciones y gobiernos para abordar estas necesidades fundamentales en paralelo, este enfoque ayuda a garantizar que el acceso digital sea utilizable, duradero y capaz de respaldar resultados reales.

Un foco central de este trabajo son los modelos de acceso comunitarios que sean sostenibles a nivel financiero, escalables y alineados con las prioridades nacionales de desarrollo. Estos modelos reúnen instituciones locales como escuelas, centros de salud, cooperativas y centros comunitarios, y se implementan en colaboración con gobiernos, empresas, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro y organizaciones financieras para el desarrollo. Al integrar infraestructuras, habilitación y financiación desde el principio, estos programas holísticos pueden ayudar a desbloquear inversiones a largo plazo, apoyar el crecimiento responsable y permitir que las comunidades participen a plenitud en la economía digital y de la IA.

El acceso digital complementa de manera directa el enfoque Community First AI Infrastructure de Microsoft, que proporciona la base que permite que la IA sea adoptada, utilizada y confiable por comunidades de todo el mundo.

Colaborar para generar impacto a gran escala

El progreso a esta escala solo es posible gracias a alianzas sólidas basadas en la entrega local, la confianza comunitaria y la sostenibilidad a largo plazo. El trabajo de Microsoft para extender la conectividad a más de 299 millones de personas se ha construido junto a socios que comprenden las realidades del despliegue en la última milla y la adopción digital.

En África, Microsoft colabora con socios como Cassava Technologies para ampliar la infraestructura digital regional y fomentar un acceso a internet de alta calidad en Sudáfrica, Malawi, Kenia y Zambia. Las colaboraciones con proveedores locales como Tizeti ofrecen conectividad asequible y fiable a través de redes Wi-Fi alimentadas por energía solar en Nigeria y Ghana.

En América Latina, la colaboración de Microsoft con Anditel se centra en ampliar el acceso a internet y energía para comunidades rurales y agrarias en Colombia mediante modelos liderados a nivel local, alineados con las prioridades nacionales. En India, Microsoft trabaja con AirJaldi para combinar la conectividad asequible con formación en habilidades digitales y vías prácticas de uso, lo que permite ayudar a las comunidades a ir más allá del acceso básico hacia una adopción significativa.

Estas colaboraciones hicieron posible alcanzar el hito de los 250 millones. También reflejan un principio que guía nuestro trabajo. El acceso digital duradero se construye con comunidades, no para ellas.

Ampliación del portafolio: colaboración con Starlink

Sobre esta base, Microsoft continúa con la expansión y diversificación de su cartera para llegar a comunidades donde la infraestructura tradicional por sí sola no puede satisfacer la demanda.

A través de nuestra colaboración con Starlink, Microsoft combina conectividad satelital en órbita terrestre baja con modelos de despliegue comunitarios y alianzas con ecosistemas locales. Esto pretende ampliar el conjunto de herramientas disponibles para ofrecer acceso digital, manteniéndose integrado con firmeza en un enfoque holístico y basado en asociaciones.

Kenia ofrece un ejemplo temprano de este modelo en la práctica. En su colaboración con Starlink y el proveedor local de servicios de internet Mawingu Networks, Microsoft apoya la conectividad de 450 centros comunitarios en regiones rurales y desatendidas, incluidas cooperativas de agricultores, centros de agregación y centros digitales. Estos despliegues combinan conectividad satelital con habilidades digitales, herramientas y coordinación de ecosistemas para apoyar la productividad agrícola, el acceso a mercados y la adopción de servicios digitales y habilitados por IA.

Más allá de los 250 millones: Construir comunidades preparadas para la IA

Superar la marca de los 250 millones de conectividad es un momento para celebrar. También es un punto de partida para lo que viene después.

El próximo capítulo del trabajo de acceso digital de Microsoft está previsto centrarse en garantizar que el acceso se traduzca en adopción, uso y oportunidades a largo plazo. Al continuar la colaboración con gobiernos, instituciones financieras para el desarrollo, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro y socios del sector privado, y la ampliación del acceso a la energía, mecanismos de financiación y soluciones de IA centradas en la comunidad, Microsoft trabaja para garantizar que todos, en cualquier lugar, puedan participar en la economía digital y de la IA.

Amazon OpenSearch Service adds new insights for improved cluster stability

Amazon OpenSearch Service has enhanced Cluster Insights with two new insights — Cluster Overload and Suboptimal Sharding Strategy. Suboptimal Sharding Strategy provides instant visibility into shard imbalances that cause uneven workload distribution, while Cluster Overload surfaces elevated cluster resource utilization that can lead to request throttling or rejections. Both insights come with details of affected resources along with actionable mitigation recommendations.

Previously, identifying resource constraints and shard imbalances required manually correlating multiple metrics and logs, making it difficult to detect issues early. With these new insights, you can proactively monitor cluster health and take timely action.

Suboptimal Sharding Strategy detects shard imbalances caused by indices with too few shards relative to the number of data nodes, or by shards carrying disproportionately large amounts of data compared to others. It identifies the root cause of uneven workload distribution and provides recommendations to help you achieve optimal shard distribution for improved query performance and resource utilization. Similarly, Cluster Overload helps you identify elevated resource utilization, including CPU, memory, disk I/O, disk throughput, and disk utilization that can potentially lead to request throttling or rejections. It also provides scale-up recommendations so you can take timely action to protect your critical workloads.

These new insights are available at no additional cost for OpenSearch version 2.17 or later in all Regions where the OpenSearch UI is available. See the complete list of supported Regions here. To learn more, visit the Cluster Insights documentation or view the complete catalog of available insights.

Amazon ECS Managed Instances now integrates with Amazon EC2 Capacity Reservations

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances now integrates with Amazon EC2 Capacity Reservations, enabling you to leverage your reserved capacity for predictable workload availability, while ECS handles all infrastructure management. This integration helps you balance reliable capacity scaling with cost efficiency, helping achieve high availability for mission‑critical workloads.

Amazon ECS Managed Instances is a fully managed compute option designed to eliminate infrastructure management overhead, dynamically scale EC2 instances to match your workload requirements, and continuously optimize task placement to reduce infrastructure costs. With today’s launch, you can configure your ECS Managed Instances capacity providers to use capacity reservations by setting the capacityOptionType parameter to reserved, in addition to the existing spot and on-demand options. You can also specify reservation preferences to optimize cost and availability: use reservations-only to launch EC2 instances exclusively in reserved capacity for maximum predictability, reservations-first to prefer reservations while maintaining flexibility to fall back to on-demand capacity when needed, or reservations-excluded to prevent your capacity provider from using reservations altogether.

To get started, you can use the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS CloudFormation, or AWS SDKs to configure your ECS Managed Instances capacity provider by choosing capacityOptionType=reserved and providing a capacity reservation group and reservation strategy. This feature is now available in all AWS Regions. For more details, refer to the documentation.

AWS Marketplace now supports multiple purchases of SaaS and Professional Services products

AWS Marketplace now supports Concurrent Agreements for SaaS and Professional Services products, enabling buyers to make multiple purchases for the same product within a single AWS account. Previously, buyers could only maintain one active agreement per product per AWS account, requiring sellers to use workarounds to support expansion deals. Concurrent Agreements removes this constraint, allowing different business units to procure independently with their own negotiated terms and pricing.

Both buyers and sellers benefit from the flexibility Concurrent Agreements provides. Buyers can accept multiple offers for the same product without disrupting existing agreements, supporting multi-team procurement within centralized AWS accounts, mid-term expansions, and repeat purchases. Sellers can close multi-business unit deals that couldn’t happen before, transact expansions immediately instead of waiting for renewal cycles, and eliminate the operational overhead of managing workarounds. 

Concurrent Agreements is enabled by default for all Professional Services listings starting today, with no seller action required. For SaaS listings, sellers must update their AWS Marketplace integration to handle multiple active subscriptions, including updating subscription notifications to use EventBridge and updating entitlement and metering APIs. Starting June 1, 2026, support for Concurrent Agreements will be required for new SaaS products. Sellers who have completed the integration work can opt in to enable Concurrent Agreements for their SaaS products now. 

This capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Marketplace is supported. Concurrent Agreements purchasing is available on SaaS products where sellers have completed the integration, and is enabled by default for all Professional Services listings. To learn more about enabling Concurrent Agreements as a seller of SaaS products, review the Concurrent Agreements integration lab.
