Amazon Redshift Serverless now allows the creation of multiple query queues, each with distinct monitoring rules and automated responses, enabling tailored resource control per workload. Users can define predicates to abort long-running or resource-intensive queries within specific queues.
Previously, monitoring rules applied uniformly at the workgroup level affecting all queries equally. The new queue-oriented model supports assigning different user roles and query groups to these queues for improved workload governance. The feature is operational in all regions supporting Redshift Serverless with management via AWS Console and APIs.
