luokai0 AWS China What's New
Query AWS China Region (Beijing / Ningxia) service launch announcements from 2016 to present.
When to use
Activate this skill when the user asks about:
- What AWS services are available in China regions (cn-north-1 Beijing, cn-northwest-1 Ningxia)
- Recent AWS China service launches or announcements
- Whether a specific service (e.g., Lambda, EKS, Bedrock) is available in AWS China
- Comparing AWS China region availability between Beijing and Ningxia
- Timeline of when a service launched in AWS China
Data management
Update data (fetch latest announcements)
# Incremental update (current year only, fast)

# Full refresh (all years 2016-2026)

How to respond
- Run the query and parse the JSON output
- Summarize the results clearly:
- List matching services with dates and regions
- If no results, say the service may not be available in AWS China yet
- Mention the data source date range (2016-present)
- For availability questions, note that absence from the list does not guarantee unavailability -- it may just mean no announcement was indexed
- Include the announcement link when relevant: prepend
https://www.amazonaws.cnto the relative link path
