Introducing Amazon EC2 C8in and C8ib instances - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 C8in and C8ib instances powered by custom, sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, available only on AWS. These instances feature the latest sixth generation AWS Nitro cards. C8in and C8ib instances deliver up to 43% higher performance compared to previous generation C6in instances. C8in and C8ib instances deliver larger sizes and scale up to 384 vCPUs. C8in instances deliver 600 Gbps network bandwidth—the highest among enhanced networking EC2 instances—making them ideal for network-intensive workloads like distributed compute and large-scale data analytics. C8ib instances deliver up to 300 Gbps EBS bandwidth, the highest among non-accelerated compute instances, making them ideal for high-performance commercial databases and file systems. C8in instances are available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Europe (Spain) regions. C8ib instances are available in US East (N. Virginia) and U...

[MS] Free Your Terminal with Detached Mode in Aspire 13.2 - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Image
Running Aspire apps from the CLI has a friction point: your terminal is locked to the AppHost process. While the app is running, you can't use the terminal to check logs or telemetry. You must open a new terminal window. Worse, if an agent has started your Aspire app to test a feature, the agent may decide to kill the app to free the terminal for a new command. Oops! Aspire 13.2 fixes these problems with detached mode , a way to run an Aspire app in the background. Aspire 13.2 also introduces a new suite of process management commands that give you real CLI control over your application lifecycle. Running in the Background The simplest feature is often the most useful. With detached mode, you start your AppHost and immediately get your terminal back: aspire start That's it. Your AppHost spins up in the background, and you're ready to run other commands in the same terminal. No more hunting for another shell window or tmux session. This is especially valuable during l...

[MS] What's up with window message 0x0091? We're getting it with unexpected parameters - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

A customer, via their customer liaison, reported quite some time ago that their program stopped working on Windows XP. (I told you it was quite some time ago.) The customer's investigations revealed that the problem occurred because their window was receiving message 0x0091 , and the parameters are wrong. Who is sending this message with the wrong parameters? Okay, first of all, how do you even know that the parameters are wrong? The message is not listed in winuser.h or in MSDN (as it was then called). We explained that message 0x0091 is an internal message that they should just pass to Def­Window­Proc unchanged. What makes the customer think that the message is being received with the wrong parameters? The customer said that their program was using that message as a custom message, and now, in addition to getting it when their program sends the message, they are also getting spurious copies of the message with WPARAM and LPARAM values that don't correspond to any val...

AWS announces general availability of AWS Interconnect - multicloud - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS announces general availability (GA) of AWS Interconnect - multicloud, providing simple, resilient, high-speed private connections to other cloud service providers (CSPs). With GA comes Google Cloud as the first launch partner, with Microsoft Azure coming later in 2026. Customers have been adopting multicloud strategies while migrating more applications to the cloud. They do so for many reasons including interoperability requirements, the freedom to choose technology that best suits their needs, and the ability to build and deploy applications on any environment with greater ease and speed. Previously, when interconnecting workloads across multiple cloud providers, customers had to go the route of a ‘do-it-yourself’ multicloud approach, leading to complexities of managing global multi-layered networks at scale. AWS Interconnect - multicloud is the first purpose-built product of its kind and a new way of how clouds connect and talk to each other. Simplifying connectivity into AWS, I...

[MS] DevOps Playbook for the Agentic Era - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Image
Practices, Principles, and Strategic Direction Software delivery has entered a new phase. AI agents are no longer confined to autocomplete suggestions in the editor. They are opening pull requests, generating code across multiple files, proposing infrastructure changes, responding to issues with working implementations, and executing multi-step engineering tasks with minimal human intervention. Tools like GitHub Copilot Cloud Agent (coding agent) represent the leading edge of a shift that is transforming how teams design, build, test, and ship software. This is not a future scenario. It is happening now, across organizations of every size and maturity level. And it is exposing a fundamental truth: the DevOps practices, pipeline architectures, collaboration patterns, and productivity frameworks that worked in a human-only world are not sufficient for a world where a growing percentage of commits, pull requests, and code reviews involve non-human contributors. This post is a strategic ...

Amazon EC2 P6-B300 instances are now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) P6-B300 instances are available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. P6-B300 instances provide 8x NVIDIA 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) and 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) and AWS GovCloud (US-East). To learn more about P6-B300 instances, visit Amazon EC2 P6 instances . Post Updated on April 14, 2026 at 10:00PM
