Datadog and AWS Shipped Ops Agents on the Same Day. What Are They Fighting Over?

On June 9, 2026 (US time), two big announcements landed on the same day.

At the keynote of Datadog's annual event DASH 2026 in New York, the Bits AI family expanded significantly: Detection, Investigation, Remediation, Infrastructure, Code, Release, Testing, Data Analysis, Chat, Memories, and Evals. Counting by agent, that is more than ten, with over 100 new features announced together. The full picture is laid out in the keynote roundup.

The same day, AWS announced FinOps Agent as a public preview. It bundles four data sources, Cost Explorer, Cost Anomaly Detection, Cost Optimization Hub, and Compute Optimizer, and delivers automated cost-anomaly investigation, natural-language cost questions, periodic cost reports, and aggregated optimization opportunities straight into Slack and Jira. The details are in the AWS blog.
