AWS RTB Fabric now supports configurable Availability Zone affinity - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS RTB Fabric now supports configurable Availability Zone (AZ) affinity for responder gateways. With this capability, you can configure how your partners connect to your responder gateway: either in their own Availability Zone or to any Availability Zone that the gateway spans. This launch helps advertising technology (AdTech) companies use their infrastructure more efficiently—with no extra charges on RTB Fabric. Demand-side platforms (DSPs) and supply-side platforms (SSPs) run their bidding systems across multiple Availability Zones. Previously, AWS RTB Fabric sent each request to available gateway capacity in the requester's own Availability Zone (AZ), so capacity in other AZs could go unused. Now you can set a client routing policy to control this: prefer the requester's own AZ to avoid added latency of crossing a boundary, or use every AZ that the responder gateway spans to give each requester access to more gateway capacity. Configurable Availability Zone affinity is ...

Amazon SES now supports tenant-level deliverability insights - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) now supports tenant-level deliverability insights in Virtual Deliverability Manager (VDM). Tenant management allows email senders to isolate email sending across customers, business units, or applications. Previously, VDM provided deliverability metrics at the account, ISP, sending identity, and configuration set levels. Now, customers who use tenants and have enabled VDM can also monitor the deliverability of each tenant. The VDM dashboard adds a Tenants view with per-tenant metrics (send volume, deliveries, bounces, complaints, opens, and clicks) and a detail page that breaks those metrics down by mailbox provider and by associated identities and configuration sets. Customers can also search and export a tenant's sent messages, or query tenant metrics programmatically using the BatchGetMetricData API operation's new TENANT_NAME dimension. This helps senders identify the tenant causing a deliverability issue and correct it without impact t...

[MS] Magic statics vs. std::call_once - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Suppose you have some function like bool should_use_widgets() { bool supported = ⟦ complex code to check OS features ⟧; return supported && is_configuration_enabled("widgets"); } Since OS Widget support is not something that changes during the lifetime of the program, you want to calculate it once and cache the result. One way is to use a so-called "magic static": bool should_use_widgets() { static const bool supported = [] { return ⟦ complex code to check OS features ⟧; }(); return supported && is_configuration_enabled("widgets"); } Function-local statics are initialized the first time execution reaches the variable. On subsequent executions, nothing happens. Another way is to use std::call_once . bool is_supported_cached; std::once_flag is_supported_once; bool are_widgets_supported() { std::call_once(is_supported_once, [] { is_supported_cached = ⟦ complex code to check OS features ⟧; });...

Amazon SageMaker AI now supports serverless model customization for NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon SageMaker AI now supports serverless model customization for the NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning model using supervised fine-tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT). This is one of the latest open-weight models from NVIDIA and employs a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 3B active parameters and 30B parameters in total. In addition to deploying this model on SageMaker AI, you can now adapt it to your specific domains and workflows. Model customization enables you to tailor foundation models with your proprietary data so a smaller, right-sized model can match frontier-model quality on your tasks, reducing cost and latency. You can use labeled data with SFT to improve accuracy on domain-specific tasks, preference data with DPO to align outputs with your organization's tone, or reward signals with RFT to enhance performance on new tasks. With serverless customization, SageMaker AI handles all infrastructure provisioning a...
