Wrapping up our quick introduction to the C++ futures library , we come to the last two parts: std:: future and std:: shared_future . The std:: future is the starting point. It is a move-only class that this takes the source and forwards its wait and wait_for methods to the source , and forwards its get method to consume . Forwarding the get to consume means that you can call get only once. The idea is that std:: future is for the case where there is exactly one consumer of the value. Since it is move-only, you can't copy it; you can only give it away and transfer the power to retrieve the value to the recipient. The std:: future has a method called shared() . This transfers the source from the future to a shared_ future object. The shared_ future also forwards its wait and wait_for methods to the source , but instead of forwarding its get to the source:: consume , shared_ future:: get() just calls source:: get to get a reference to the value storage.

Oracle Database@AWS (ODB) now supports advertising aggregate routes and a default route (0.0.0.0/0) when configuring ODB peering between applications in an Amazon VPC and databases in an ODB network. This simplifies network operations as customers extend new VPCs or on-premises networks to reach their databases, without updating the advertised CIDRs for each network that needs connectivity to the ODB network. Previously, customers had to advertise each network reaching the ODB network as a separate CIDR, and could not advertise a broad aggregate range or a default route. With this launch, customers can advertise any CIDR range, so a single aggregate or default route can cover all networks reachable through the peered VPC, such as those connected through an AWS Transit Gateway, without a separate entry for each one. This capability is available on ODB networks that support multiple ODB peering connections, in all AWS Regions where Oracle Database@AWS is available. To learn more, visit...

September's updates help you run agents on a schedule, load tool definitions on demand, and investigate behavior from traces. Routines and Tool Search are now GA; Insights enters public preview, and Model Router gains preview controls. We also expanded the GPT-6 lineup and introduced GPT-6.1 Sol. Jump to Foundry Models , Agents & Foundry Agent Service , Speech & Content Understanding , Foundry Local , developer tools, APIs, SDKs, and CLI , pricing and model retirements , or resources and community . TL;DR GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna are generally available (GA). Compare quality and cost per task using a supported serving option. Routines are GA. Run agents on a timer, schedule, or supported GitHub or Teams event. The agent-scheduled reminder tool remains preview. Tool Search and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) are GA. Hosted-agent Toolboxes remain GA; prompt-agent Toolboxes enter public preview. Voice agents and long-running hosted-agent resilience enter publ...

Web Search on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is now available in four additional AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and AWS GovCloud (US-West). Web Search is a fully managed tool that provides AI agents with current grounding from the web, enabling more accurate and up-to-date responses for tasks such as research, summarization, and question answering. With this expansion, customers can build agents that retrieve web information closer to their applications and end users with lower latency. Customers with government workloads can now use Web Search in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region to meet compliance and data residency requirements.  To learn more about Web Search on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, see the Web Search tool documentation .

The AWS Transfer Family console now supports SVG files for logos and ICO files for favicons in web apps, with upload limits increased to 2 MB. This gives you more flexibility to use existing branding assets when customizing your web app. Previously, the console accepted only JPG and PNG files and limited logo uploads to 50 KB and favicon uploads to 20 KB. The console automatically resizes images and converts them to JPG or PNG before saving them. Existing API upload limits and format requirements remain unchanged. These capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where Transfer Family web apps are offered. To learn more, see the Transfer Family web apps tutorial . Post Updated on October 14, 2026 at 09:00AM

What happens when developers who have spent decades working with Visual Studio start rethinking how they write code, learn new skills, and expand their access to development tools?   At VSLive! San Diego, we had an opportunity to find out as developers gathered for five days of technical sessions, hands-on learning, and conversations about Visual Studio, .NET, AI, cloud, data, and modern application development.    One of the most interesting things we heard in San Diego was how readily experienced developers are adopting new tools and workflows.   GitHub Copilot is part of that story, and developers aren't limiting themselves to a single AI experience. They're building broader, more differentiated tool kits. But they aren't necessarily replacing familiar tools. They're expanding how they work, choosing different experiences depending on the task, and finding new ways to solve problems.    This is why events like VSLive! provide such an amazing opportunity for d...
