AWS HealthOmics Release Notes

AWS HealthOmics now publishes real-time run metrics to Amazon CloudWatch, providing visibility into workflow resource utilization as runs execute. These 14 new run metrics include CPU and GPU usage, memory usage, file system usage and I/O metrics, network throughput, and ephemeral storage usage.

Real-time run metrics can help you identify CPU or GPU bottlenecks, detect memory or storage exhaustion before a task fails, and track file system throughput without opening a support case. By comparing actual usage against allocated resources, you can right-size the compute and storage configurations for your workflows. These metrics are emitted using the Amazon CloudWatch OpenTelemetry standard, allowing integration with third-party observability tools in addition to native CloudWatch dashboards and alarms.

Available Regions

  • US East (N. Virginia, Ohio)
  • US West (Oregon)
  • Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London)
  • Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo)

What to do

  • Monitor run metrics with CloudWatch
  • Review CloudWatch pricing for run metrics
