If you ask an AI engineer what the biggest barrier to continued AI technology advancement is, you’ll likely hear about computing power. Practices like enhancing model design and improving the quality of data ingested by AI tools might be factors too. But at the end of the day, compute resources remain the greatest constraint on […]

How do you secure AI agents and non-human identities? The short answer: treat their identities the same way you’d treat any other non-human identity – scoped, credentialed, monitored, and revocable – then layer on the extra controls that agents specifically need because they call tools and chain actions in ways ordinary service accounts do not. […]

Last week, we brought together AWS Heroes from around the world to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the builders who go above and beyond for the AWS community. The AWS Heroes Summit, an invite-only annual gathering, brings global experts specializing in fields like AI, serverless, and containers together for direct collaboration, technical deep-dives, and feedback sessions […]

Healthcare organizations and financial firms don’t pick their infrastructure the way a startup picks a cloud tier. The regulatory pressure is different. The audit exposure is different. And when a breach happens, the consequences don’t stay inside the IT department, they reach into legal, into executive accountability, into public trust that took years to build, […]

When you move AI agents from prototype to production, the infrastructure challenges multiply. Your agents need to persist state across multi-step workflows that run for hours or days. They need to coordinate with other agents, share context, and sometimes access GPUs for specialized tasks. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime microVMs provide a fully managed environment for […]

For years, the deepfake video problem was easier to warn about than to demonstrate. Journalists wrote the warnings. Legislators drafted policy frameworks. Security researchers ran the simulations. And yet, despite the genuine technical threat, the forgeries themselves often remained unconvincing enough that public alarm failed to catch hold. The faces were wrong, the lip movements […]

Today, we’re announcing the general availability of vector search in Amazon DynamoDB. You can now store vector embeddings alongside your operational data in DynamoDB and run similarity searches directly against that data, without replicating it to a separate vector store. DynamoDB supports native vector search with single-digit millisecond latency at 99%+ recall, and is designed […]

Zak van der Merwe has spent his entire career at AWS building control planes. First for EC2 and now for DSQL. On the surface, the control plane looks quite boring: it records what should exist and reconciles that with what actually does. Nobody leaves school dreaming of building one, but Zak will be the first […]

The question sounds tactical. It is not. Choosing between managed and self-managed Kubernetes shapes your team’s operational burden for years, determines which compliance paths are even available to you, and ultimately decides whether your platform engineers spend their time on product-adjacent work or on etcd certificate rotation. The answer depends less on technical preference than […]

Last week I had the joy of participating in Amazon’s “Bring Your Kids to Work Day” with my 7 year old son. We commuted together into the New York City office, his first real rush hour train ride, and spent the day exploring how Amazon uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to deliver packages to […]
