The gap between ransomware threats and the defenses meant to stop them is getting worse, not better. Ivanti’s 2026 State of Cybersecurity Report found that the preparedness gap widened by an average of 10 points year over year across every threat category the firm tracks. Ransomware hit the widest spread: 63% of security professionals rate […]

Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Hpc8a instances, a new high performance computing (HPC) optimized instance type powered by latest 5th Generation AMD EPYC processors with a maximum frequency of up to 4.5 GHz. These instances are ideal for compute-intensive tightly coupled HPC workloads, including computational fluid dynamics, […]
Since we launched Amazon Nova customization in Amazon SageMaker AI at AWS NY Summit 2025, customers have been asking for the same capabilities with Amazon Nova as they do when they customize open weights models in Amazon SageMaker Inference. They also wanted have more control and flexibility in custom model inference over instance types, auto-scaling […]
I joined AWS in 2021, and since then I’ve watched the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance family grow at a pace that still surprises me. From AWS Graviton-powered instances to specialized accelerated computing options, it feels like every few months there’s a new instance type landing that pushes performance boundaries further. As of […]
Augmented reality has moved beyond pilot projects and experimental demos in education. In 2026, AR increasingly appears inside real learning environments where institutions expect measurable results, stable performance, and clear learning impact. Schools, universities, and training providers no longer adopt immersive technology for novelty. They use it to solve concrete instructional problems. The challenge today […]
A student was flagged for AI-generated writing. The essay was written by hand, then typed. The detector was wrong. The school didn’t care. AI detection is everywhere now where schools scan student essays, employers analyze communications, platforms flag content. The promise is accountability. The problem is three-fold: consent, transparency, and trust. AI detection technology has […]
Once upon a time, the largest pain point facing most enterprise software developers was writing and testing code. Thanks to the generative and agentic AI capabilities that have become widespread over the past few years, however, the coding part of development work has become substantially easier. But here’s an equally pressing challenge for software developers […]
Here are the notable launches and updates from last week that can help you build, scale, and innovate on AWS. Last week’s launches Here are the launches that got my attention this week. Let’s start with news related to compute and networking infrastructure: Introducing Amazon EC2 C8id, M8id, and R8id instances: These new Amazon EC2 […]
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 […]
