AWS CloudTrail Lake Announces AI-Driven Natural Language Query Generation (Preview)

AWS announces AI-driven generative natural language query generation in AWS CloudTrail Lake (preview), allowing you to simply analyze your AWS activity events without having to write complex SQL queries. You can now ask plain English questions about your AWS API and user activity, such as “How many errors were logged in the last week for each service and what was the cause of each error?” or “Show me all the users who logged in using the console yesterday” and AWS CloudTrail will generate an SQL query, which you can run as is or refine to fit your use case.

This new feature enables users who are not experts in writing SQL queries or do not have a deep understanding of CloudTrail events. As a result, mining and analyzing AWS activity in event data stores on CloudTrail Lake becomes simpler and faster, accelerating compliance, security, and operational investigations.

This feature is now available in preview in AWS US East (N. Virginia) at no additional cost. Please note that running queries generated using this feature will incur CloudTrail Lake query charges. Refer to CloudTrail pricing for details. To learn more about this feature and get started, please refer to the documentation.
