Retrospective edition: 2026-06-17. Source published: 2026-06-17. Added to this archive: 2026-11-03. This briefing was prepared later from the linked announcement; it was not published on this website on the historical edition date.

The preview release management feature in AWS DevOps Agent assesses the readiness of code changes before deployment by checking for drift from internal standards, dependency impacts, and security controls. It analyzes cross-repository dependencies to identify potential breaking changes and verifies infrastructure alignment with Well-Architected practices.

It autonomously generates and executes test plans on web and API applications in customer-owned environments, helping detect regressions and integration failures beyond human review capabilities. This feature is available in the US East (N. Virginia) region with no extra cost during preview.
