--- title: "This Month in Datadog - December 2025" description: "In December’s This Month in Datadog, get up to speed on our announcements from AWS re:Invent, like CloudPrem, Storage Management, and more." author: "Datadog" date: 2025-12-11 tags: ["bits ai", "cloudprem", "log management", "workflow automation", "aws", "amazon s3", "software delivery", "storage", "reinvent"] blog_type_id: the-monitor locale: en --- For our last episode of 2025, we’re focusing on Datadog releases announced at AWS re:Invent. Join [Jeremy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremylq/) to see how you can manage logs at petabyte scale in your infrastructure, eliminate unneeded costs in Amazon S3 buckets, build agentic workflows, and detect credential leaks. Later in the episode, [Scott](https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottyak/) spotlights how you can connect your AI agents to Datadog tools and context with our MCP Server. After that, [Kai](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaixintai/) shows how Bits AI SRE can help you investigate alerts, coordinate incidents, and more. We also take a look at how parts of the cloud landscape are changing with Datadog’s [2025 State of Cloud Security report](https://www.datadoghq.com/state-of-cloud-security/) and [State of Containers and Serverless report](https://www.datadoghq.com/state-of-containers-and-serverless/). When you’re done watching the episode, visit our [re:Invent microsite](https://www.datadoghq.com/aws-reinvent/products/) for a full list of our announcements.

[Datadog MCP Server](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-remote-mcp-server.md) enables you to connect AI agents, such as Amazon Kiro, to Datadog tools and context. Once connected, you can ask questions about your production systems and get insights backed by Datadog data. ### Let Bits AI SRE investigate alerts and coordinate incidents for you Identify root causes and remediate issues faster with [Bits AI SRE](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/bits-ai-sre.md). Our new product helps you spend less time investigating alerts and coordinating incidents, so you can stay focused on building and shipping great software. Bits AI SRE is now generally available. ### Manage logs at scale in your own environment with CloudPrem Teams need a way to balance complete visibility against retention needs and residency requirements. [Datadog CloudPrem](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/introducing-datadog-cloudprem.md) is a hybrid log management solution that runs in your infrastructure and stays fully integrated with our platform. Filter your CloudPrem logs with Log Explorer, preprocess data before indexing with Observability Pipelines, and more with our new product, which is now available in Preview. ### See what’s driving costs in your Amazon S3 buckets with Storage Management Bucket-level metrics can show how much you spend on storage but not what drives those costs. [Datadog Storage Management](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/storage-management-amazon-s3.md) breaks down cost drivers to the prefix level so you can attribute spend to specific sources, such as teams, services, and workloads. Combined with object count and age metrics, this visibility also helps you spot opportunities to move cold data to lower-cost tiers. ### Create AI agents that reason through complex decisions with Agent Builder To help workflows adapt to real-world complexity, teams often try to hardcode logic branches for every possible outcome. [Datadog Agent Builder](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-agent-builder.md) lets you create AI agents that analyze data, reason through complex decisions, and adapt to changing inputs. With this new feature, you can define an agent’s goals using natural language, add prompts, and control which data sources and tools it can access. ### Detect credential leaks before they compromise your environment with Secret Scanning Continuously monitor your source code, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines for credential leaks with [Datadog Secret Scanning](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/code-security-secret-scanning.md). When a potential leak is found, Datadog automatically verifies it with the corresponding third-party provider, such as AWS, to determine if the credential is active. This new feature also integrates with CI/CD workflows and enforces pre-commit and pre-merge checks that stop keys from entering repositories. ### Additional updates More new features and updates released this month: - Build, run, and trace LLM experiments with our [Experiments feature](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/llm-experiments.md) - Gain visibility into AI agent behavior with [AI Agents Console](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/claude-code-monitoring.md) - View Datadog activity across teams with [Governance Console](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-governance.md) - Remediate workload issues with [Bits AI Kubernetes Remediation](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-kubernetes-active-remediation.md) - [Scan pull requests](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/engineering/malicious-pull-requests.md) for malicious activity - [Filter out false positives](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/using-llms-to-filter-out-false-positives.md) from static code analysis - [Monitor agents built on Amazon Bedrock](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon-bedrock.md) with our integration - [Track and improve AWS Strands-based agents](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/llm-aws-strands.md) with Datadog - [Optimize your LLM prompts](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/llm-prompt-tracking.md) with Datadog LLM Observability - Easily reduce noise with [Observability Pipelines Packs](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/manage-high-volume-logs-with-observability-pipeline-packs.md) - Spot when issues stem from code or the network with [Network Path](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/network-path.md) ## See you next month This Month in Datadog is a monthly roundup of our latest features, product announcements, and more.
