The console now provides a live deployment timeline narrating each phase of Linear, Canary, and Blue/Green service deployments, including task launch/termination progress, service events, and traffic shifting. Health signals such as circuit breaker status, deployment alarms, and container health checks are displayed inline.

When failures occur, tasks with diagnostic details surface within the timeline, with direct links to tools like AWS CloudTrail for root cause analysis. These capabilities unify deployment visibility in one place without additional cost, enhancing operational efficiency across all supported AWS Regions.
