Today, AWS announces that Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition now supports integration with Kiro Powers , enabling developers to build Aurora MySQL-backed applications faster with AI agent assistance. Kiro Powers is a repository of curated and pre-packaged Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, steering files, and hooks that have been validated by Kiro partners to accelerate specialized software development and deployment. This integration bundles direct database connectivity with Aurora MySQL best practices, providing developers with instant expertise in Aurora MySQL operations and schema design through natural language interactions. With this integration, developers can perform both data plane operations (database queries, table creation, schema management) and control plane operations (cluster creation and management) through conversational commands instead of complex syntax. The Kiro agent dynamically loads task-specific guidance for Aurora MySQL Serverless scaling, migration f...

AWS Glue now offers large and memory-optimized workers in the AWS Europe (Spain) Region, giving customers in this region more power to handle complex data processing workloads. The new additions include two general compute workers (G.12X and G.16X) as well as four memory-optimized workers (R.1X, R.2X, R.4X, and R.8X). With these options, you can now tackle more complex transforms, aggregations, joins, and queries while processing higher volumes of data quickly using AWS Glue. The G.12X and G.16X workers extend the existing G worker lineup with additional compute, memory, and storage which makes them ideal for large, resource-intensive workloads. The R-series workers (R.1X, R.2X, R.4X, and R.8X) offer double the memory of their G counterparts, making them well-suited for memory-intensive Spark operations such as caching, shuffling, and aggregating. You can select any of these worker types through AWS Glue Studio, using notebooks or Visual ETL , or programmatically via the Glue Job AP...

AWS Deadline Cloud now supports browsing job attachment files directly within the Deadline Cloud monitor. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that simplifies render management for teams creating computer-generated graphics and visual effects, for films, television, broadcasting, web content, and design. The Deadline Cloud job attachments feature simplifies managing input and output files for render jobs by handling uploads and downloads through Amazon S3. Previously, you could download all outputs for a job but couldn't easily see which specific files were attached as inputs or generated as outputs. With this new browsing capability, you can now view all attached files for a given job directly from the monitor in the browser or desktop application, clearly organized by inputs and outputs. You can also download individual files as needed, making it easy to retrieve specific assets without downloading everything. For more information, please visit the Deadline Cloud pro...

For most .NET developers, the best way to get started with GitHub Copilot is not by learning every feature first. It is by using the right Copilot experience for the work already in front of you. Inline completions are part of that story, of course. They help with the everyday C# work that is repetitive but still necessary: filling in tests, building out LINQ expressions, wiring up DTOs, or scaffolding a Minimal API endpoint. But the bigger gains usually show up when you start using chat for reasoning and agentic workflows for scoped execution. That is where the different surfaces matter. Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, the Copilot CLI, and the cloud coding agent each shine on different kinds of .NET tasks. The question is not which one is "most advanced." The better question is: which one fits the job I am doing right now? Start with the task, not the mode The fastest way to get value is to stop asking, "Which Copilot feature should I try?" and start askin...

Starting with .NET MAUI 10, you can opt your Android app into Material 3 (a.k.a. Material You) styling with a single MSBuild property. Material 3 is already live in a large set of controls today, more are on the way in upcoming service releases, and the plan is for it to become the default for Android in a future version. In this post I'll walk you through how to enable it, what controls are covered today, and what's coming next. If you prefer watching over reading, I've got a video walkthrough as well: [iframe width="800" height="450" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eUYEdYK4bNA" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen] What is Material 3 again?
