Amazon CloudWatch RUM now available in AWS European Sovereign Cloud

Amazon CloudWatch RUM (Real User Monitoring) is a feature of Amazon CloudWatch that enables developers and operations teams to collect, view, and analyze client-side performance data from real end-user sessions in web and mobile applications. With its expansion to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, customers operating under strict European data residency and sovereignty requirements can now monitor their web application performance without data leaving the sovereign boundary. This capability is designed for enterprises, public sector organizations, and regulated industries in Europe that require full control over where their data is stored and processed. CloudWatch RUM helps teams proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across both web and mobile applications by surfacing real-time metrics such as page load times, JavaScript errors, HTTP failures, and mobile-specific signals like crash rates and network latency — enabling faster root cause analysis and improved end-user experience. For example, a European public sector organization can use CloudWatch RUM within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud to monitor citizen-facing web portals and mobile apps while maintaining full data sovereignty compliance. CloudWatch RUM in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is available today in the EU Sovereign (eusc-de-east-1) region — to get started, visit the Amazon CloudWatch RUM documentation .

Amazon Quick Introduces Sheet Tooltips for Rich, Contextual Data Exploration

Quick Sight in Amazon Quick now supports sheet tooltips, enabling authors to surface rich, contextual detail when viewers hover over data points — without disrupting their analysis flow. Sheet tooltips allow authors to create dedicated tooltip sheets containing visuals, text boxes, and images arranged in a free-form layout. When a viewer hovers over a data point, the tooltip sheet automatically inherits all filters from the source visual and applies an additional filter for the specific data point, delivering an instant, focused breakdown. This enhancement helps organizations build more intuitive dashboards that reduce the need for multiple sheets or manual navigation. For example, a bar chart showing sales by product category can surface a trend line of monthly sales, a year-over-year growth KPI, and a text box with the category name — all filtered to whichever category the viewer hovers over. Authors can assign one tooltip sheet to multiple visuals, switch between basic, detailed, and sheet tooltip types at any time, and tables and pivot tables are also supported. Sheet tooltips are available on interactive sheets only. This feature is now available in all Amazon Quick regions where Quick Sight is supported. Learn more about how to use sheet tooltips in Amazon Quick and read more about this new feature in our blog post .

AWS launches Interconnect - multicloud for simplified multicloud connectivity

AWS announces general availability (GA) of AWS Interconnect - multicloud, providing simple, resilient, high-speed private connections to other cloud service providers (CSPs). With GA comes Google Cloud as the first launch partner, with Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) coming later in 2026. Customers have been adopting multicloud strategies while migrating more applications to the cloud. They do so for many reasons including interoperability requirements, the freedom to choose technology that best suits their needs, and the ability to build and deploy applications on any environment with greater ease and speed. Previously, when interconnecting workloads across multiple cloud providers, customers had to go the route of a ‘do-it-yourself’ multicloud approach, leading to complexities of managing global multi-layered networks at scale. AWS Interconnect - multicloud is the first purpose-built product of its kind and a new way of how clouds connect and talk to each other. Simplifying connectivity into AWS, Interconnect - multicloud enables customers to quickly establish private, secure, high-speed network connections with dedicated bandwidth and built-in resiliency between their Amazon VPCs and other cloud environments. Interconnect - multicloud makes it easy to connect AWS resources or VPCs to other CSPs. Customers can also quickly scale connectivity to multiple VPCs or Regions via associating Interconnect with other networking services such as AWS Transit Gateway and AWS Cloud WAN, instead of taking weeks or months. Interconnect - multicloud introduces a new, single-fee pricing structure based on the customer’s selected bandwidth and the geographical scope of the connectivity to other CSPs. Customers can also use one free, local 500Mbps interconnect per Region starting in May. To learn more please see the Interconnect - multicloud Pricing documentation page. Interconnect - multicloud is available in five AWS Regions. You can enable this capability us
