Amazon EC2 G7e instances now available in additional regions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G7e instances accelerated by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs are now available in the AWS Europe (Frankfurt, Stockholm) and Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Regions. G7e instances offer up to 2.3x inference performance compared to G6e. Customers can use G7e instances to deploy large language models (LLMs), agentic AI models, multimodal generative AI models, and physical AI models. G7e instances offer the highest performance for spatial computing workloads as well as workloads that require both graphics and AI processing capabilities. G7e instances feature up to 8 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, with 96 GB of memory per GPU, and 5th Generation Intel Xeon processors. They support up to 192 virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and up to 1600 Gbps of networking bandwidth. G7e instances support NVIDIA GPUDirect Peer to Peer (P2P) that boosts performance for multi-GPU workloads. Multi-GPU G7e instances also support NVI...

AWS Glue SAP OData connector and zero-ETL integrations are now available in AWS GovCloud (US) regions - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Glue SAP OData connector and zero-ETL integrations are now available in AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions, with support for Amazon DynamoDB, Salesforce, and SAP OData as sources. Customers operating in regulated environments can now replicate data from these sources into Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, or other supported destinations without building or maintaining custom data pipelines. The SAP OData connector allows you to extract data from SAP systems exposing OData services, eliminating the need for custom extraction logic or third-party middleware. The zero-ETL integrations are fully managed by AWS and minimize the need to build ETL data pipelines. With this new zero-ETL integration, you can efficiently extract and load valuable data from your Amazon DynamoDB databases or Salesforce and SAP applications into your data lake and data warehouse for analysis. Zero-ETL integration reduces your operational burden and saves the weeks of engineering effort needed...

[MS] The case of the invalid function pointer when shutting down the display control panel - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

[MS] Building AX evals that actually work - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

This is the eighth and final article in a series about Agent Experience (AX): the practice of making AI coding agents work correctly with your technology. The series covers what you can and can't control in the agent stack, how to measure whether your extensions are helping or hurting, and how to iterate toward better outcomes. You've read seven articles about what to measure, why benchmarks don't transfer, and what hidden variables can do to your results. Now you actually have to build the thing. Most teams build an eval, run it, get scores, and feel good about the numbers. The trouble is that these evals produce confident, consistent, and unfortunately meaningless results. Contaminated data, scenarios that don't represent real usage, criteria that check the wrong thing, and scores that go up while developer experience stays flat. Why does this matter? Because evals are means to an end. You evaluate to find where models have gaps in using your technology, so you ca...

AWS Lambda announces self-managed code storage - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Lambda now supports self-managed Amazon S3 buckets for code storage, enabling you to reference source code directly from your own S3 buckets without Lambda creating intermediate copies. This eliminates code storage limits and reduces function activation time after function creates and updates by removing the copy step. AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs your code without requiring you to manage servers. Customers who deploy many functions and additional code as Lambda layers often need more than 75GB of code storage per Region, requiring support tickets to increase this quota. Previously, Lambda always copied your deployment package to Lambda-managed storage during function and layer creation, counting against this limit. Now, with self-managed code storage, Lambda references your code directly in your Amazon S3 bucket without creating a copy, so you can store as much function and layer code as your bucket allows. You maintain a single source of truth for y...

AWS Lambda console provides a one-click setup prompt for coding agents - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Lambda console now provides a one-click setup prompt for coding agents that configures your agent with AWS Serverless skills and the Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, embedding serverless best practices from the start. This setup is available on the Lambda console wherever the developers start their Lambda journey: whether they are getting started with Lambda, exploring its capabilities, or have created their first function. Developers use coding agents to build, test, and deploy Lambda functions, but setting up an agent for serverless development previously required navigating across multiple documentation pages to find the right configuration. The one-click setup prompt eliminates this friction as it provides a prompt that instructs the agent to install AWS Serverless skills (hosted in Agent Toolkit for AWS ) and the Serverless MCP server directly in the developer's preferred coding agent. The prompt references the Lambda agent setup guide , which includes ins...

AWS Partner Central subsidiary connections now support qualification sharing - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

AWS Partner Central subsidiary connections now enable partners to share qualifications across their connected partner and seller accounts. Partners connecting newly acquired partner's accounts or regional subsidiary accounts they own can now consolidate their AWS partnership standing across those accounts beyond revenue attribution. Partners with active subsidiary connections can now select Associate qualifications to share specializations, certifications, and select program enrollments across all connected accounts. The subsidiary's display name is automatically updated to reflect its affiliation with the primary account, and tier is recalculated based on combined scorecard metrics. Upon connection, Partner Revenue Measurement (PRM) continues to attribute combined revenue across all connected accounts. With qualification sharing, partners now also benefit from a unified public profile and consolidated scorecard. Subsidiary account connections and qualification sharing are ...
