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 […]

AWS introduces Amazon EC2 G7e instances accelerated by the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs with up to 2.3 times inference performance. G7e instances deliver cost-effective performance for generative AI inference workloads and the highest performance for graphics workloads.

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 […]

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 X8i instances, next-generation memory optimized instances powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors available only on AWS. X8i instances are SAP-certified and deliver the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud.

Happy New Year! I hope the holidays gave you time to recharge and spend time with your loved ones. Like every year, I took a few weeks off after AWS re:Invent to rest and plan ahead. I used some of that downtime to plan the next cohort for Become a Solutions Architect (BeSA). BeSA is […]

New Lambda capability lets you build applications that coordinate multiple steps reliably over extended periods—from seconds to up to one year—without paying for idle compute time when waiting for external events or human decisions.

New memory-optimized instances deliver up to 5 GHz processor speeds and 3 TiB of memory—ideal for electronic design automation workloads and memory-intensive databases requiring high single-threaded performance.

Access FSx for NetApp ONTAP file data through S3 to enable AI/ML workloads and analytics—letting you use enterprise file data with Bedrock, SageMaker, and analytics services while it remains in your file system.
