Dear ARC Community,

Greetings! Hope you're doing well. Our team has been working on some significant updates for ARC, and this month's newsletter covers key developments across ARC IaC and ARC API. Take a look to explore the latest improvements and features we've implemented.

🌐 ARC IaC

1. ECS Module Upgrade: The ECS module has been upgraded to support EC2-backed ECS clusters alongside AWS Fargate. This enhancement gives you the flexibility to choose between Fargate for a fully managed, serverless experience or EC2 for greater control, customization, and potential cost savings. We sincerely appreciate your contributions, Arun Sai.

⏳ Coming Soon

1. Distributed tracing: The Terraform based observability Module will introduce support for Jaeger and OpenTelemetry, enhancing distributed tracing and observability. This will provide deeper insights into application performance, streamline troubleshooting, and improve monitoring capabilities.

2. Simplified Bedrock Deployment: The upcoming AWS Bedrock Terraform module will simplify the deployment of Amazon Bedrock resources by providing native support for Bedrock Agents, Knowledge Bases, and Action Groups. This enhancement will enable seamless infrastructure automation, making it easier to build and manage AI-powered applications at scale.
