Today, we’re announcing the general availability of new low-cost burstable Amazon EC2 T8i instances powered by custom sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Granite Rapids), available only on AWS. T8i instances are among the lowest-cost EC2 instances and deliver up to 30% better price performance over previous generation T3 instances. These instances are designed to […]

Since the first launch of AWS Elastic Beanstalk in 2011, customers have deployed full-stack applications in Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and Go, trusting Elastic Beanstalk to manage deployment and infrastructure operations so they could focus on business logic. Fifteen years later, that trust has only deepened, and the service has been rebuilt to […]

Most data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) teams spent 2025 trying to feed larger models without copying production records into yet another sandbox. Privacy programs blocked the old workaround of cloning a warehouse and hashing a few columns, while product teams still needed volume, rare events, and shareable sets for vendors. Capital followed that bind: synthetic data […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) started with a handful of foundational infrastructure services such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), so that anyone with an idea could start building. As the world’s largest companies and governments adopted AWS, they asked for features […]

Security operations center (SOC) teams are being asked to reconstruct incidents across cloud accounts, identity systems, and leftover on-premises gear, often inside the same audit window. The raw material for that work is scattered. A firewall, an identity provider, and an endpoint agent each fire in their own console, and the people who have to […]

As software development becomes more automated, organizations are generating more testing data than ever. For security, governance, and compliance teams, that volume is not the real problem. The problem is proving what the tests actually mean. An automated test can show that a control worked under a specific set of conditions. On its own, it […]

There’s a particular energy to mid-September in New York. Pumpkin spice lattes are flowing, temperatures are dropping, and it’s nearly sweater weather. The city is back at full speed, and so is the AWS launch calendar. This week that energy showed up in a new frontier model on Amazon Bedrock, a desktop app for Amazon […]

The Model Context Protocol is the common wire between an AI agent and the tools it is allowed to use. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud all ship MCP servers now, and they are not the same product with different logos. One side of the market is a cloud control plane for agents. The other is […]

AI agent security has a boundary problem. A sandbox can constrain where code executes. It can limit filesystem access, network access, processes, and resource consumption. Those controls matter, especially when an agent is compiling unknown code or running an untrusted workload. But the moment an agent is useful enough to act on real systems, the […]

Last year, we introduced Volume Clones of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), a new capability that lets you create instant point-in-time copies of your EBS volumes within the same Availability Zone. Today, we are extending Volume Clones with cross-account copy, so you can create copies of your EBS volumes into other AWS accounts and […]
