AWS's Kiro IDE shipped a cluster of September 1 updates: Kiro Web reached GA so teams can run Kiro sessions from a browser, cloud configuration now syncs into local IDE and CLI sessions, and administrators can export usage metrics to Datadog, Dynatrace, and other OpenTelemetry-compatible platforms.
AWS’s Kiro shipped a cluster of updates on September 1, 2026, across the web platform, IDE, CLI, and enterprise tooling. The biggest piece is Kiro Web reaching general availability.
Kiro Web is now GA
Kiro Web lets you run Kiro sessions from a browser without installing the desktop IDE. You can connect GitHub or GitLab repositories, select a branch, and delegate tasks to the agent from a web interface. Sessions auto-generate descriptive titles and can be organized into groups.
This matters for a few workflows: reviewing agent work from a device where you don’t have Kiro installed, sharing session access with non-engineering stakeholders, or running lightweight tasks outside of a full IDE context. The feature also supports cloud configuration sync, so your local .kiro setup — custom agents, skills, steering files — can follow you into web sessions.
Cloud configuration now syncs into local sessions
The inverse direction also works now. If you’ve set up configuration in the cloud, you can pull that into local IDE or CLI sessions with a new “Apply your cloud configuration to local sessions” toggle in the Configuration Sync page.
The sync is additive, not destructive — it won’t replace your local configuration files. It loads your cloud-side Steering files, custom agents, Skills, Powers, and Hooks into the session on startup. For teams that maintain shared configurations (a shared set of steering rules, company-approved agents), this makes distributing those configurations to individual developer machines straightforward.
OpenTelemetry metrics export for admins
Administrators can now send per-user Kiro usage metrics to OpenTelemetry-compatible observability platforms, including Datadog and Dynatrace. The export covers adoption tracking data, giving platform and developer experience teams visibility into how Kiro is being used across the organization without building custom instrumentation.
This is the kind of feature that matters for enterprise procurement: when a company is evaluating AI coding tool adoption, having usage data flow into existing observability infrastructure is often a prerequisite.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification
Kiro is now included in the defined scope of AWS’s ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. For enterprise security teams running vendor evaluations, this removes one common blocker.
CLI v2.21.0: session dashboard and configuration panel
The CLI also updated to v2.21.0. The main additions are a V3 session dashboard for browsing, searching, resuming, and cleaning up local and cloud sessions, and a configuration panel that brings all configured resources into a single terminal view rather than scattering them across different config files and commands.
