Amazon EC2 P6-B300 instances are now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) P6-B300 instances are available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region. P6-B300 instances provide 8xNVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs with 2.1 TB high bandwidth GPU memory, 6.4 Tbps EFA networking, 300 Gbps dedicated ENA throughput, and 4 TB of system memory. P6-B300 instances deliver 2x networking bandwidth, 1.5x GPU memory size, and 1.5x GPU TFLOPS (at FP4, without sparsity) compared to P6-B200 instances, making them well suited to train and deploy large trillion-parameter foundation models (FMs) including large language models (LLMs) with sophisticated techniques. The higher networking and larger memory deliver faster training times and more token throughput for AI workloads. P6-B300 instances are now available in p6-b300.48xlarge size in the following AWS Regions: US West (Oregon), AWS GovCloud (US-East), US East (N. Virginia), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Jakarta, Seoul), and South America (Sao Paulo) Regions. To learn more abo...

Amazon MemoryDB now supports AWS PrivateLink in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

You can now use AWS PrivateLink to privately access Amazon MemoryDB from your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions. AWS PrivateLink provides private connectivity between VPCs, AWS services, and on-premises networks, without exposing traffic to the public internet and securing your network traffic. To use AWS PrivateLink with Amazon MemoryDB, you create an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon MemoryDB in your VPC using the Amazon VPC console, AWS SDK, or AWS CLI. With an interface VPC endpoint, you can privately access the Amazon MemoryDB APIs from applications inside your Amazon VPC. You can also access the VPC endpoint from other VPCs using VPC Peering or your on-premises environments using AWS VPN or AWS Direct Connect. To learn more, read the documentation , or get started in the Amazon VPC Console . Post Updated on September 2, 2026 at 03:06PM

Amazon Linux 2027 is now available in public preview - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Today, AWS announces the public preview of Amazon Linux 2027 (AL2027), the next version of the Amazon Linux operating system, purpose-built for cloud-native workloads on AWS with performance, scale, and security in mind. Built on AL2023's baseline, AL2027 is designed for customers running web applications, databases, containerized microservices, AI/ML workloads, and large-scale infrastructure who need a secure, stable, and AWS-native operating system. AL2027 runs on kernel 7.1+, enables SELinux in enforcing mode as default, accelerates cryptographic performance with AWS-LC, and keeps builders current with the latest toolchains and language runtimes. For AI and machine learning workloads, it delivers access to accelerator drivers, including AWS Neuron driver support. The public preview gives customers hands-on access before general availability (GA) to experiment with new features, validate their applications, and provide direct feedback to the Amazon Linux team. AL2027 Preview ...

AWS Transform announces general availability of Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP support - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Transform for migrations adds Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as a generally available storage target for block storage workloads, alongside Amazon EBS. With AWS Transform, you can now migrate block storage directly to FSx for ONTAP as part of the same migration wave that handles compute and networks, eliminating the need for intermediate storage platforms and separate migration tools. Whether migrating from NetApp ONTAP, other block storage platforms, or VMware environments, your data access patterns and operational processes remain unchanged with FSx for ONTAP. Now your workloads run on a fully managed, production-ready shared storage service that combines ONTAP's enterprise capabilities with the scalability and resiliency of AWS. What previously required stitching together multiple tools is now a single migration workflow. This capability is available in all AWS Transform supported target Regions and where Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is supported . To get started, visit AWS...

[MS] The perils of binding to value types in XAML - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

A colleague ran into trouble with their XAML program. They were using a FlipView control to bind to a collection, but when the user tried to navigate the FlipView using an assistive technology tool, there were cases where the navigation failed. Some time later, they came back with the solution to the mystery. The team noticed that their data model consisted only of strings and other value types, so they decided to declare their data model as a struct rather than a full runtimeclass , thereby avoiding a lot of boilerplate typing. If defined as a runtimeclass : // MyComponent.idl runtimeclass MyPageContent { String Title { get; }; String Description { get; }; String LinkUri { get; }; Boolean IsNew{ get; }; } // MyPageContent.h namespace winrt::MyComponent { struct MyPageContent : implements<MyPageContent> { MyPageContent(hstring const& title, hstring const& description, hstring const& link,...

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio CI/CD adds notebook promotion and AI-assisted manifest generation - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio CI/CD expands its open-source deployment toolkit with two new capabilities: (1) an AI agent skill that automates manifest authoring, and (2) native notebook promotion across environments. Together, they help data teams go from project to production faster while maintaining best-practice defaults across stages. AI-assisted manifest generation. The new generate-bundle-manifest agent skill inspects a project's connections, storage, and workflows and produces a ready-to-use deployment manifest. It applies least-privilege IAM guidance, substitutes environment variables in place of hardcoded resource identifiers, and sets safe defaults such as opt-in catalog handling. Teams can import the skill into their own agents to standardize how they package and promote SageMaker Unified Studio projects across development, test, and production accounts. Native notebook promotion. The CI/CD toolkit now supports promoting native SMUS Notebooks alongside code, workf...

[MS] Behind SPFx Dev Skills: testing what agents know and fixing what they miss - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AI coding agents can build SharePoint Framework solutions. But should you trust them to choose the right toolchain and package versions by themselves, then apply every upgrade step correctly? We wanted evidence. Before publishing SPFx Dev Skills , the SharePoint Framework team and Developer Relations worked together to understand what agents already know and where they struggle. We then measured which guidance improves the outcome. It’s easy to package our expertise in a skill and tell developers to trust it. Proving where the skill adds value takes more work, but produces a far more useful result. We started without the skill The collaboration brought together Vesa Juvonen and Bert Jansen from the OneDrive and SharePoint SPFx team, and Garry Trinder and Waldek Mastykarz from Developer Relations. Collectively, we defined what a correct upgrade should look like and designed the evaluations, then traced failures through the agents’ complete sequence of actions. Together, we turned tho...
