Amazon Athena announces single sign-on support for its JDBC and ODBC drivers through AWS IAM Identity Center’s trusted identity propagation. This makes it simpler for organizations to manage end-user’s access to data when using 3rd party tools and implement identity-based data governance policies with a seamless sign-on experience.

With this new capability, data teams can seamlessly access data through their preferred 3rd party tools using their organizational credentials. When analysts run queries using the updated Athena JDBC (3.6.0) and ODBC (2.0.5.0) drivers, their access permissions defined in Lake Formation are applied and their actions logged. This streamlined workflow eliminates credential management overhead while ensuring consistent security policies, allowing data teams to focus on insights rather than access management. For example, data analysts using 3rd party BI tools or SQL clients can now connect to Athena using their corporate credentials, and their access to data will be restricted based on policies defined for their respective user identity or group membership in Lake Formation.

This feature is available in regions where Amazon Athena and AWS Identity Center’s trusted identity propagation are supported. To learn more about configuring identity support when using Athena drivers, see the Amazon Athena driver documentation.

AWS launches LocalStack integration in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), enabling developers to easily test and debug serverless applications in their local IDE. With this new integration, developers can use LocalStack to locally emulate and test their serverless applications using familiar VS Code interface without switching between tools or managing complex setup, thus simplifying their local serverless development process.

LocalStack, an AWS Partner Network (APN) partner, enables developers to emulate AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon SQS, Amazon API Gateway, and DynamoDB for local application development and testing. Previously, to use LocalStack to emulate AWS services in VS Code, developers had to manually configure ports, make code changes, and switch context between the IDE and LocalStack interface. Now, with LocalStack integration in VS Code, developers can connect to LocalStack environment from their IDE without manual configuration or code changes. This gives developers access to emulated AWS resources in the IDE, making it easy to build and test serverless applications locally. For example, they can now easily test and debug Lambda functions and their interactions with AWS services in a LocalStack emulated environment from their IDE.

This integration is now available to developers using the AWS Toolkit for VS Code (v3.74.0 or later). There is no additional cost from AWS for using this integration. To get started, follow the guided AWS Walkthrough in VS Code, which automatically installs the LocalStack CLI, guides through LocalStack account setup, and creates a LocalStack profile. Then, switch to LocalStack profile and deploy applications directly to the LocalStack environment. To learn more, visit the AWS News Blog, AWS Toolkit documentation, and the Lambda Developer Guide.

Convertirse en frontera: cómo los socios impulsan la próxima ola de innovación en IA

Por: Nina Harding.

Ha comenzado a surgir una nueva clase de organización: las Empresas Frontera. Estos líderes de la industria utilizan la IA para enriquecer las experiencias de los empleados, reinventar el compromiso del cliente, remodelar los procesos comerciales e imaginar el próximo gran salto en innovación. Se mueven más rápido, se adaptan más rápido y logran más, todo mientras establecen el estándar de lo que es posible en la era de la IA.

En Microsoft, sabemos que las Empresas Frontera combinan tecnología de clase mundial y ambición humana. Eso significa combinar el poder de las tecnologías de IA de Microsoft como Microsoft Copilot y Azure AI Foundry con la creatividad, la curiosidad y la colaboración de las personas. Es esta combinación la que transforma las ideas en impacto, para impulsar el crecimiento y la escala.

Adoptar una mentalidad de Cliente Cero para predicar con el ejemplo

En Microsoft, creemos en ser los primeros y mejores clientes de productos propios, o «Cliente Cero». Ese principio básico ha guiado nuestro enfoque de Copilot, con resultados profundos. En pocas palabras, una de las mejores maneras de demostrar el poder de la IA es experimentarla.

Mi equipo y yo hemos adoptado a plenitud la mentalidad de Cliente Cero, al utilizar y experimentar con la misma tecnología que recomendamos a nuestros clientes. La IA se ha convertido en una parte diaria de nuestro flujo de trabajo, y los miembros del equipo la utilizan para tareas importantes como crear agentes en Copilot Studio, aprovechar M365 Copilot en nuestros flujos de trabajo y compartir las mejores prácticas de manera abierta.

Ser Cliente Cero ofrece una gran cantidad de beneficios para nuestros clientes, que incluyen:

• ROI comprobado a través de la experiencia vivida: Al utilizar nuestra propia tecnología, podemos realizar un seguimiento de los resultados tangibles, desde el ahorro de costos y el aumento de la productividad hasta un mayor compromiso de los empleados y compartir esos conocimientos directo con los clientes. Nuestros propios datos se convierten en los puntos de prueba, convirtiéndonos en estudios de casos vivos.
• Capacitación y desarrollo de experiencia: Nuestro uso de primera mano de nuestras propias herramientas significa que profundizamos nuestras propias habilidades de IA y podemos guiar a los clientes con un conocimiento amplio y práctico en varios casos de uso.
• Impulsar la innovación: Al experimentar a nivel interno, descubrimos nuevas ideas y sacamos a la luz los posibles desafíos de forma temprana, para ayudar a los clientes a moverse más rápido con confianza.

Socios + Microsoft: Acelerar la frontera

Ahora es el momento del liderazgo de la IA. El Índice de Tendencias Laborales 2025 de Microsoft confirma lo que muchos de nosotros ya sentimos: 2025 es el año en que la IA despierta nuestro potencial.

• El 82% de los líderes dice que ahora es el momento de repensar la estrategia y las operaciones.
• El 81% espera que  los agentes de IA se integren en sus estrategias en los próximos 12 a 18 meses.

Las Empresas Frontera avanzan. Entre sus trabajadores del conocimiento:

• El 71% dice que su empresa prospera.
• El 55% informa que hace un trabajo más significativo.
• El 93% se siente optimista sobre el futuro.

Entonces, ¿cómo alimentamos la chispa?

La capacidad de IA escalable fusionada con el ingenio humano ya no es opcional. Es la nueva línea de base para la ventaja competitiva.

Socios que impulsan resultados de frontera

Una de las mejores ventajas de mi trabajo es ver la increíble innovación que ocurre en las Américas y cómo nuestros socios ayudan a las organizaciones de toda la región y el mundo a convertir el potencial de la IA en resultados medibles con las tecnologías de Microsoft.
