AWS announced a slew of new features and services last week, including hands-on courses on Agentic workflows, expanded language support in Amazon Transcribe, enhanced insights for AWS Lambda functions, and more. Here are some of the notable announcements:

* **Hands-on courses on Agentic workflows:** A new short course titled "Serverless Agentic Workflows with Amazon Bedrock" was launched in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Ng and DeepLearning.AI. This course focuses on teaching how to build serverless agents that can handle complex tasks without the hassle of managing infrastructure.

* **Expanded language support in Amazon Transcribe:** Amazon Transcribe added support for 30 additional languages, bringing the total number of supported languages to 54. This will improve accessibility across various industries, including contact centers, broadcasting, and e-learning.

* **Enhanced insights for AWS Lambda functions:** The AWS Lambda console now features a built-in Amazon CloudWatch Metrics Insights dashboard and supports CloudWatch Logs Live Tail, providing instant visibility into critical function metrics and real-time log streaming.

In addition, AWS announced support for evaluating custom model import models in Amazon Bedrock Model Evaluation, the launch of a new YouTube channel for Amazon OpenSearch Service, and more.

With these new releases, AWS continues to empower developers and businesses of all sizes by providing innovative tools and solutions. The focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence is evident, as these releases aim to simplify the development and deployment of AI applications.
