What's new

The following table lists new features, improvements, and fixes for AWS DevOps Agent. For an index of new pages added to the documentation, see Document history.

Date	Change	Description
July 23, 2026	Set up a Sandbox	You can now let AWS DevOps Agent write and run code in a sandboxed Linux environment. During preview, the agent uses the sandbox only during investigations; support for chat, custom agents, and other DevOps Agent capabilities is coming soon. Opt in per Agent Space, control outbound network access with an explicit allowlist, and pre-install pip and npm packages. With Sandbox enabled, the agent also reads skills from the sandbox filesystem and can run code bundled with a skill. By default, the sandbox restricts outbound access to AWS service endpoints.
July 23, 2026	Deregister capability providers from the Actions menu	The console now groups the Deregister control in an Actions menu that acts on the selected capability provider, instead of a button next to each row. To deregister a provider, select it and then choose Deregister from the Actions menu.
July 21, 2026	Third-party integrations in the Terraform sample	The Terraform sample now supports registering third-party services (Dynatrace, ServiceNow, Splunk, New Relic, GitLab, and PagerDuty) with your Agent Space in the same terraform apply, mirroring the AWS CDK sample's IntegrationsStack. Datadog still requires manual registration through the console.
July 21, 2026	Use existing IAM roles with the Terraform sample	You can now point the Terraform sample at pre-existing IAM roles instead of having it create new ones. Set existing_agentspace_role_arn and existing_operator_role_arn in terraform.tfvars to skip role creation.
July 21, 2026	Datadog webhook payload template and variable mapping	The Datadog connection guide now includes a ready-to-use webhook payload template for monitor-triggered alerts, a table mapping Datadog webhook variables to the DevOps Agent webhook schema, and monitor configuration guidance. You can configure the Datadog webhook without constructing the payload yourself.
July 21, 2026	CloudTrail logging for MCP and A2A access token authentication	AWS DevOps Agent now records an AuthenticateAccessToken event in AWS CloudTrail each time it authenticates an access token for an MCP or A2A remote server invocation. It records both successful and failed authentications. Use these events to audit who connected, from which IP address, and with which token.
July 10, 2026	Automated investigations in AWS Support Assistant chat	When you create an AWS Support case, automated investigation findings stream into the Support Assistant chat. AWS assigns a support engineer after the automated investigation completes.
July 9, 2026	Feature availability by Region	The Supported Regions page now shows feature availability at the top and in a dedicated table. You can quickly see which capabilities are available in each Region, including the release management preview limitation to US East (N. Virginia).
July 9, 2026	Authentication steps visible in the investigation timeline	You can now see each authentication step AWS DevOps Agent takes to a downstream system. Each step shows its success or error status; on failure, you can also see the underlying browser steps.
July 9, 2026	Read and list artifacts in chat	You can now read and list the artifacts that Chat has generated, directly in the conversation and without leaving chat.
July 9, 2026	GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency support	You can connect AWS DevOps Agent to GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency instances hosted on *.ghe.com subdomains.
July 8, 2026	Direct service-principal trust for secondary account roles	Secondary account roles now trust the AWS DevOps Agent service principal (aidevops.amazonaws.com) directly. Previously, they trusted the primary account role. The aws:SourceAccount and aws:SourceArn conditions provide confused deputy prevention scoped to your primary account and Agent Space.
July 7, 2026	DevOps Agent Tools repository moved	The community-contributed DevOps Agent skills sample repository and skills gallery moved to new locations. For the updated repository, see sample-devops-agent-tools on the GitHub website. For the updated gallery, see the community skills gallery on the GitHub website. Update any bookmarks or links to the previous locations.
July 1, 2026	Skills page retirement and Knowledge page	The standalone Skills page no longer exists. You now manage instructions, skills, and memories from the unified Knowledge page. Update any bookmarks that pointed to the previous Skills page.
June 30, 2026	Connect the same GitHub organization across multiple AWS accounts and Regions	You can now connect AWS DevOps Agent in multiple AWS accounts and Regions to the same GitHub organization or account. If the AWS DevOps Agent GitHub App is already installed, additional accounts and Regions reuse the existing installation, so you don't need to reinstall it.
June 30, 2026	Register multiple PagerDuty and Azure DevOps instances per Agent Space	You can now register more than one PagerDuty account or Azure DevOps organization to a single Agent Space. If you manage multiple PagerDuty accounts or Azure DevOps organizations, you no longer need a separate Agent Space for each integration.
June 30, 2026	Share a Slack workspace across accounts	You can share a single Slack workspace across multiple AWS accounts, even when your Agent Space uses a customer managed key (CMK) for encryption.
June 30, 2026	Overlapping workspace support	You can register the same Slack workspace with more than one Agent Space. Overlapping or duplicate Slack workspace installations across Agent Spaces or AWS accounts no longer collide.
June 30, 2026	Open a new chat with the ?newChat query parameter	Add ?newChat to any DevOps Agent web app URL to open a fresh chat session. Use this parameter to link to a new conversation from external tools, runbooks, and bookmarks.
June 24, 2026	Choose HMAC or API key authentication for Agent Space webhooks	When you create an Agent Space webhook, you can now choose between HMAC signature authentication and API key (bearer token) authentication.
June 23, 2026	Multi-channel and multi-workspace Slack support	You can now connect multiple Slack workspaces to AWS DevOps Agent and associate more than one channel with an Agent Space.
June 23, 2026	Configuring firewall rules for private connections	New guidance explains how to configure security group and firewall rules for privately-hosted tools. Traffic from AWS DevOps Agent arrives from Resource Gateway ENIs in your subnets — not from the static IP addresses used for publicly-hosted tools.
June 22, 2026	Import skills from a repository using the SDK	You can now import skills from GitHub repositories programmatically using the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs. Pass a sourceUrl in the content field to import a skill directory or a single SKILL.md file, and sync it on demand to pull the latest changes.
June 19, 2026	Monitor memories enabled by default	AWS DevOps Agent now enables the per-monitor memory store by default for all Agent Spaces. This store recalls recurring root causes for a specific alarm or metric.
June 17, 2026	Improved remote server connection guidance	Updated client setup instructions with correct plugin names, links to Kiro power and Claude Code plugin, client type guidance, and an MCP configuration example for generic clients.
June 17, 2026	Create custom agents, test profiles, and feedback with the Asset API	The Asset API now supports three additional asset types: custom agents, test profiles, and feedback. You can create and manage them programmatically alongside skills, AGENTS.md files, and attachments.
June 16, 2026	Browse sample skills in the community skills gallery	A new community skills gallery lets you browse community-contributed AWS DevOps Agent sample skills before importing them into your Agent Space.
June 15, 2026	Provide feedback on investigations	Provide structured accuracy feedback on completed investigations through the web app modal or conversational chat. The agent uses your feedback to track accuracy metrics over time.
June 14, 2026	Integrate AWS Transform with release readiness code reviews	Configure release readiness code reviews to integrate with AWS Transform, so the agent can analyze code changes alongside automated transformation recommendations.
June 13, 2026	Register multiple Datadog and ServiceNow instances per Agent Space	You can now register more than one Datadog environment or ServiceNow instance to a single Agent Space. If you manage multiple Datadog environments or ServiceNow instances, you no longer need separate Agent Spaces per integration.
June 13, 2026	Scoped access tokens for MCP and A2A remote server authentication	Issue least-privilege access tokens scoped to specific permissions for external tools connecting to your Agent Space over MCP or A2A, instead of sharing broader credentials.
June 12, 2026	DevOps Agent Memories	The agent now learns and recalls patterns from past investigations. Memories let the agent remember recurring root causes for monitors, environment-specific quirks, and your standing directives so it can investigate faster and more accurately.
June 12, 2026	Connect to DevOps Agent remote servers	Connect IDEs, CLIs, and agent integrations to AWS DevOps Agent through dedicated MCP and A2A remote server endpoints. Supports access token and SigV4 authentication.
June 12, 2026	Connect remote A2A agents	Add remote Agent-to-Agent (A2A) agents to your Agent Space so the DevOps Agent can call them as tools during investigations and chat.
June 12, 2026	Custom agents	Create user-defined AI agents that automate operational tasks. Configure a system prompt, assign skills, manage executions, and configure outputs such as artifacts and recommendations.
June 12, 2026	Five new AWS Regions	AWS DevOps Agent is now available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Canada (Central), Europe (London), and South America (São Paulo). Agent Spaces in Mumbai, Singapore, and São Paulo route inference globally rather than within a single geography.
June 12, 2026	Pipeline topology view	The Topology page now offers a Pipeline view that shows your CI/CD deployment stages, actions, and their relationships to infrastructure resources. This view appears once the agent learns your pipeline structure.
June 12, 2026	Summary report	View a versioned, read-only summary of what AWS DevOps Agent knows about your environment, so you can verify the agent has accurate context and share that context with your team. Available on the Summary report tab on the Agent Space details page in the admin console, and in the Artifacts section of the DevOps Agent web app.
June 12, 2026	Import skills from a repository	Import a skill into your Agent Space directly from a GitHub repository, so you can reuse and share skills across teams without manual file copying. Provide a URL to a directory or to a SKILL.md file, and the agent imports the skill files for you.
June 11, 2026	Release management	Release readiness code reviews and release testing capabilities. Includes runtime role configuration, simulated verification, private VPC access, credential configuration, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
June 11, 2026	Automated release readiness reviews on GitHub pull requests	Enable automated release readiness reviews on GitHub pull requests. Configure change review toggles and runtime roles for your connected GitHub repositories.
June 11, 2026	Automated release readiness reviews on GitLab merge requests	Enable automated release readiness reviews on GitLab merge requests. Configure change review toggles and runtime roles for your connected GitLab projects.
June 11, 2026	Two new learned skills: Code Dependencies and Pipeline Topology	AWS DevOps Agent now generates two additional learned skills: Understanding Code Dependencies (service-to-service and package dependency mapping) and Understanding Pipeline Topology (pipeline stage and environment promotion mapping). These skills help the agent trace impact across service boundaries and understand your deployment flow.
June 11, 2026	Skills, instructions, and memories unified on the Knowledge page	Agent instructions (AGENTS.md), skills, and memories are now accessible from a single Knowledge page with three tabs. The sidebar nav label changed from "Skills" to "Knowledge."
June 8, 2026	Manage agent assets with public APIs	Manage agent assets such as skills and knowledge programmatically through public, documented APIs, so you can automate agent configuration and integrate with CI/CD workflows.
June 8, 2026	Activate AWS DevOps Agent from the AWS Support Plans console	AWS Business Support and higher customers can activate AWS DevOps Agent directly from the AWS Support Plans console while managing their subscription and take advantage of a monthly allotment of AWS DevOps Agent usage credits. New activations include a 2-month free credit period.

June 3, 2026	Voice input in chat	Talk to the agent in chat using your microphone. Your speech is transcribed in real time.
June 3, 2026	Export investigations and chat content as Markdown	Copy or download investigations, root causes, recommendations, and artifacts as Markdown, with incident links preserved, to paste into tickets and documents.
June 3, 2026	Private DNS resolution and per-endpoint private connections	Choose how a private connection's host address is resolved when you create it: use public DNS, or in-VPC resolution for hostnames that exist only in a private hosted zone. For OAuth-based MCP servers, you can now route the endpoint (target URL) and the OAuth token exchange endpoint through separate private connections using targetUrlPrivateConnectionName and exchangeUrlPrivateConnectionName.
June 3, 2026	Tools added during a chat are available without restarting	The agent now detects new tool connections during an active conversation and makes them available within about 30 seconds. You no longer need to start a new chat after connecting a tool or integration.
June 1, 2026	Safety-check results in the investigation timeline	Tool-call cards now show safety-check results inline, so you can see exactly what the agent verified before it acted.
June 1, 2026	Athena fallback for very large log files	When an Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights query times out, the agent now queries Amazon S3 logs larger than 1 GB through Amazon Athena, so investigations on very large logs no longer fail silently.
May 28, 2026	Chat sessions recover after a guardrail false positive	The agent now evaluates each message independently. One flagged message no longer blocks the rest of the conversation.
May 28, 2026	CloudWatch Logs queries use the correct dates	The agent now uses a dedicated tool to calculate timestamps for Amazon CloudWatch Logs queries. Queries return results for the time range you request in both chat and investigations.
May 28, 2026	Correct local times in chat conversations	Time zone conversions now handle UTC offsets and day boundaries correctly.
May 28, 2026	Topology understanding refreshes on a schedule	For active agent spaces, topology understanding now refreshes automatically. The agent works with current infrastructure context without manual updates. For more information, see Managing learned skills.
May 27, 2026	ClickHouse queries through the Grafana integration	If you use Grafana with ClickHouse data sources, the agent can query your ClickHouse-backed dashboards directly during investigations, so you can troubleshoot issues using ClickHouse observability data.

May 27, 2026	Agent stops repeating the same failing action	The agent now detects repeated identical tool calls and breaks the loop to try a different approach.
May 23, 2026	CloudTrail events for Asset API operations	Asset API operations now emit AWS CloudTrail events, so you can audit who changed skills, instructions, and memories in your agent space.
May 22, 2026	Investigation deep links land directly on the investigation	Notification links from your chat and ticketing integrations take you straight to the investigation, with the destination preserved through AWS Console sign-in. Links are included as soon as an investigation enters progress, so you can follow along in real time.
May 22, 2026	Steer agent behavior with AGENTS.md instructions	Write scoped instructions, per agent or shared, that shape agent behavior. Instructions are injected into the agent system prompt.
May 21, 2026	Skip investigations with skip skills	Create skip skills so the agent ignores certain investigations. Skipped incidents remain visible, can be unskipped with feedback, and emit Amazon EventBridge notifications.
May 21, 2026	Faster, more accurate topology generation for large agent spaces	Agent space understanding now generates faster and with greater accuracy for very large topologies.
May 20, 2026	Context usage indicator in chat	Chat now shows how much of the context budget you have consumed in a conversation.
May 20, 2026	Lower chat latency with parallel tool delegation	The chat agent can delegate to multiple specialist tools in parallel, reducing response latency.
May 20, 2026	SigV4 authentication with service roles for MCP and read-write GitHub	Use AWS Signature Version 4 authentication with a service role for MCP servers and connect read-write GitHub integrations, so you can delegate access without managing long-lived credentials.
May 19, 2026	Connect up to 500 MCP tools per agent space	The external MCP tool limit increased from 40 to 500 tools per agent space, so you can integrate more databases, APIs, and custom tools without hitting service limits.
May 19, 2026	Recommendations ranked by priority and downloadable as reports	The agent ranks improvement recommendations by severity, exposure, compliance, and urgency, so you see a prioritized backlog instead of creation order. You can download recommendations as reports.
May 15, 2026	Upload files and images in chat	Attach files and images in chat, and the agent reasons over the uploaded content.
May 13, 2026	Disambiguation cards in chat	When the agent needs clarification, it now presents clickable options instead of asking open-ended questions, reducing back-and-forth.
May 13, 2026	Chat conversations retain full context	The agent proactively summarizes long conversations to stay within context limits, so chats no longer lose earlier context as they grow.
May 11, 2026	Auto-growing chat input	The chat input area now grows automatically as you type longer messages.
May 11, 2026	Trigger investigations through a webhook with HMAC authentication	Trigger agent investigations programmatically from external systems such as PagerDuty or custom alerting with HMAC signature verification, so you can initiate investigations from any monitoring tool.
