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 […]

Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G7e instances that deliver cost-effective performance for generative AI inference workloads and the highest performance for graphics workloads. G7e instances are accelerated by the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and are well suited for a broad range of GPU-enabled […]

Editor’s Note (January 2026): This piece has been updated to reflect the latest technological trends, including 2026 global spending forecasts and the critical “AI skills gap” currently impacting the global economy. For the past several years, most organizations have made it their priority to shift much of their applications and data from on-premises to the […]

At the end of 2025 I was happy to take a long break to enjoy the incredible summers that the southern hemisphere provides. I’m back and writing my first post in 2026 which also happens to be my last post for the AWS News Blog (more on this later). The AWS community is starting the […]

Since a preview launch at AWS re:Invent 2025, we’re announcing the general availability of new memory-optimized Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X8i instances. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors with a sustained all-core turbo frequency of 3.9 GHz, available only on AWS. These SAP certified instances deliver the highest performance […]

Deutsch | English | Español | Français | Italiano As a European citizen, I understand first-hand the importance of digital sovereignty, especially for our public sector organisations and highly regulated industries. Today, I’m delighted to share that the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is now generally available to all customers. We first announced our plans to […]

As enterprises scale artificial intelligence initiatives in 2026, reliance on centralized cloud infrastructure is being tested by latency, bandwidth, and operational constraints. Leaders across industries are realizing that traditional cloud-first strategies are not sufficient for time-sensitive, AI-driven operations. Instead, edge computing is emerging as a strategic enabler, allowing AI systems to process data locally, respond […]

At the beginning of January, I tend to set my top resolutions for the year, a way to focus on what I want to achieve. If AI and cloud computing are on your resolution list, consider creating an AWS Free Tier account to receive up to $200 in credits and have 6 months of risk-free […]
