AWS Weekly Roundup: AWS Local Zones in Istanbul, open-source ExtendDB, Kiro Web, and more (May 25, 2026)

There’s something genuinely energizing about working with startups — something I’ve been doing intensely for more than two years now. Startups operate at a different frequency: the urgency is real, the constraints are tight, and the stakes are personal. Helping them navigate the challenge of proving their business model requires not just technical depth but […]

Identity Is the New Foundation for Cloud Migration

At BitTitan, we’ve seen organizations increasingly struggle with identity complexity as hybrid and multi-cloud environments become the norm. Cloud migration used to be relatively straightforward. Teams would move workloads, validate access, and decommission legacy systems. That model worked when environments were more contained and identities were simpler to manage. Today, migration looks very different. Organizations […]

Just a year ago, we launched AWS Transform for .NET, Mainframe and VMware workloads, the first agentic AI service purpose-built for modernizing enterprise applications at scale.

Murat Isik of Noah Labs: Why “Mostly Correct” Is a Catastrophic Failure in AI-Driven Defence

From my perspective, the “sovereignty-first” approach creates a paradox. On one hand, the highly regulated industries that use Ada or COBOL or Rust, such as defense, aerospace, banking, require that air-gapped security for survival. On the other hand, isolation is the natural enemy of discovery. The real risk is that in our rush to be […]

Why Threat Hunting Doesn’t Happen, and What Changes When It Can

Threat hunting is the proactive process of searching for signs of malicious activity that may have bypassed automated security tools and traditional alerting systems. It assumes that attackers may already be operating inside the environment without detection, using legitimate tools and stolen credentials to blend into normal activity. Within security operations, threat hunting strengthens overall […]

The Hidden Crisis of Inventory Drift: Why Your IT Asset Records Are Lying to You

Most IT leaders I talk to are confident their asset records are accurate. The dashboard shows 100% patch deployment. Offboarding is marked complete. Hardware rollouts report full coverage. The numbers look clean. The problem is somewhere between what the records say and what’s actually in the field, a gap opens. It starts small. A device […]

Amazon Redshift introduces AWS Graviton-based RG instances with an integrated data lake query engine

Since 2013, Amazon Redshift has given the full power of a data warehouse in the cloud, at a fraction of the on-premises cost. Every architectural generation—from dense compute to Amazon RA3 instances, from provisioned to Amazon Redshift Serverless—has made each query cheaper, faster, and more efficient than the last. For over a decade, as data […]

The Decision Latency Tax: How Fragmented Data Is Quietly Eroding Enterprise Competitiveness

The Decision Latency Tax Ask your leadership team a simple question. Where, exactly, are you losing the most revenue across the customer lifecycle right now, and why? Most executives believe they should be able to answer in an hour. In practice, almost none of them can. The question travels through three or four systems, lands […]
