Today, we’re announcing AWS CloudFormation Express mode, a new deployment mode that accelerates deployments for developers and AI tools iterating on infrastructure. Express mode accelerates deployments by completing when CloudFormation confirms resource configuration is applied, rather than waiting for extended stabilization checks. This reduces deployment time by up to 4 times for iterative development workflows and […]

When you run compute-intensive workloads like real-time analytics, batch processing, video encoding, scientific modeling, or CPU-based machine learning inference, every percentage point of performance matters. You need instances that deliver higher throughput per vCPU, faster memory access, and more network bandwidth, all while keeping your costs in check. Today I am happy to announce the […]

If you manage TLS certificates for your applications, you know the challenge: certificates expire, and when they do, your customers see errors or your service goes down. As certificate validity periods get shorter (the Certification Authority (CA)/Browser Forum mandates reduced maximum validity to 100 days starting March 2027, and to 47 days by 2029), manual […]

When I joined Amazon, Jeff had an idea: no team should be so large that it couldn’t be fed by two pizzas. In those early days, some teams were so small that one pizza would’ve been enough to get the job done. But it was never really about feeding hungry engineers. We could’ve just as […]

The managed services industry keeps shifting. Cybersecurity threats are growing more targeted, cloud adoption continues to accelerate, and regulatory demands are expanding across nearly every sector — and in 2026, managed service providers are expected to do far more than simply maintain IT infrastructure, because clients want strategic partners who can strengthen security, support compliance […]

It has been a busy stretch on the AWS Summit circuit. At the New York City Summit, I delivered a workshop called Building AI architectures with AWS Serverless, and it was a lot of fun watching builders wire up agents and serverless services to solve real problems in a single afternoon. This week I am […]

Banking is double digits ahead of even its most highly regulated peers (government and healthcare) in winning consumer trust. The Thales Digital Trust Index 2026 reports 57% of customers trust the banking sector, compared to 44% and below for every other industry. Banks are doing something different and being rewarded for it. CIAM industry professional […]

Most factories have sensors on everything. Boilers, turbines, pumps, fans, conveyor belts. Hundreds of them, sometimes thousands. And almost nobody can see what those sensors are saying. The data sits on a SCADA screen in one room, watched by one or two operators per shift. Everyone else – the plant head sitting in another city, […]

The reskilling almost never happened in the right sequence. That is the honest part, and it is exactly why I write about it. I write about reskilling because I know what goes wrong when it comes last instead of first. The technology lands, the work changes that same week, and the training, if it comes […]
