Last year, we launched the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8i instances, M8i instances, and R8i instances powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors available only on AWS with sustained all-core 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. They deliver the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. Today we’re announcing […]

Educational app development in 2026 typically costs between $40,000 and $180,000 or more. Teams that work with experienced educational app developers often discover that the final cost depends far less on interface design than on learning logic, content workflows, and scalability assumptions. This is the same reason why many educational platforms, from consumer apps like […]
Today, we’re announcing the general availability of AWS IAM Identity Center multi-Region support to enable AWS account access and managed application use in additional AWS Regions. With this feature, you can replicate your workforce identities, permission sets, and other metadata in your organization instance of IAM Identity Center connected to an external identity provider (IdP), […]
Over the past week, we passed Laba festival, a traditional marker in the Chinese calendar that signals the final stretch leading up to the Lunar New Year. For many in China, it’s a moment associated with reflection and preparation, wrapping up what the year has carried, and turning attention toward what lies ahead. Looking forward, […]
Zero-downtime deployment means releasing updates to a WordPress site without interrupting service or affecting users. In production environments, this ensures that visitors continue browsing, transactions complete normally, and no content or data is lost during new code deployment. Traditional FTP-based or in-place updates often cause temporary outages, broken layouts, inconsistent plugin states, or database mismatches […]
As organizations scale their workloads on Google Cloud Platform, cloud bills often grow faster than expected. What begins as a flexible, usage-based model can quickly turn into a cost challenge if visibility is missing. This is where GCP monitoring becomes critical, not only for performance and uptime, but also for understanding how cloud usage translates […]
For many of us, education has been a one-size-fits-all experience. You sit in a classroom (or these days, sometimes, in front of a laptop or tablet), a teacher lectures, you listen and take notes. There are labs where you get your hands dirty, and teachers call on students to answer questions and participate, but for […]
Agentic AI can think, act, and share information independently. That’s enormously beneficial. But it’s also created a hidden exposure layer – one that isn’t obvious in logs or endpoints but can put systems, data, and workflows at risk. Two protocols are behind this behavior: MCP, which expands exposure outwards to tools and systems, and A2A, […]
Hey! It’s my first post for 2026, and I’m writing to you while watching our driveway getting dug out. I hope wherever you are you are safe and warm and your data is still flowing! This week brings exciting news for customers running GPU-intensive workloads, with the launch of our newest graphics and AI inference […]
The year 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for enterprise IT infrastructure budgets. While a year ago tariffs were the primary concern, now exploding demands for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and high-capacity flash storage (NAND/SSDs) needed for AI infrastructure are adding to equipment shortages and price pressures. In particular, DRAM and SSD prices […]
