- Platform/SRE — Learn: GovCloud parity for ElastiCache Serverless public endpoints means IAM-authenticated Valkey caches can now be reached outside a VPC in GovCloud without a bastion or VPN. Worth noting for any GovCloud workloads that need serverless caching with simplified network topology.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Skip
- Platform/SRE — Plan: A new GA CloudWatch dashboard surfacing OTel metrics (memory, network, latency, keyspace, errors) for Valkey node clusters — worth scheduling adoption to consolidate cache observability; note that detailed 15-second metrics incur standard CloudWatch OTel pricing.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: AWS now bundles a pre-built observability layer for ElastiCache Valkey at no additional platform cost (standard CloudWatch OTel pricing applies for enhanced polling), relevant context if the org is evaluating its caching observability spend.
- Platform/SRE — Plan: New GA capability lets teams query ElastiCache Valkey metrics via PromQL in Grafana and CloudWatch, with optional 15-second granularity for catching short-lived latency spikes; schedule enablement of standard OTel metrics now (free) and evaluate detailed monitoring for critical clusters this quarter.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Skip
- Platform/SRE — Learn: New GA capability for ElastiCache Serverless that enables internet-reachable Valkey caches without VPC config; useful for prototyping or external workloads but likely not a fit for production platform architecture where VPC isolation is the norm.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Skip
- Platform/SRE — Plan: Teams running ElastiCache Global Datastore across regions can now enforce consistent IAM/SCP policies and cost allocation via tags; worth updating your tagging standards and IAM policies this quarter to close the permission-model gap.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: This closes a cost-allocation and access-control gap in multi-region ElastiCache deployments, useful context if the org is standardizing FinOps tagging policies across AWS resources.
