AWS Compute BlogAmazon EC2’s DescribeImages API now returns the associated AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store path for an AMI. The enhancement helps teams use AMI references across the AWS CLI, CloudFormation, Terraform, and Auto Scaling launch templates.
AWS Compute BlogAWS describes a serverless, two-account pattern for managing air-gapped RHEL-family fleets, separating connected package ingestion from isolated workloads and requiring human approval for package changes. EC2 Image Builder AMIs and Patch Manager use the same frozen Amazon S3 repository snapshot.
AWS Compute BlogAWS outlines an architecture for keeping regulated workloads within geographic boundaries using AWS Local Zones and AWS Outposts. The framework combines the AWS Nitro System, AWS Organizations service control policies with AWS Control Tower, and Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring to support auditable data-residency designs.
AWS Compute Blog AWS Lambda SnapStart now supports container image functions, reducing startup times from several seconds to as low as sub-second. Learn how SnapStart for container images works, how to enable it on new or existing functions, and best practices for latency-sensitive workloads.
AWS Compute Blog EC2 Tag Sharing lets AMI owners share tags with any account that has access to the image, using the ec2:SharedTag/ prefix. Updates propagate automatically with no custom replication workflows. This post walks through how it works, a golden AMI use case, and considerations for…
AWS Compute Blog Lambda durable functions checkpoint execution state to durable storage, and for regulated payment workloads that data is sensitive. This post shows how to configure a customer managed key in AWS KMS to encrypt durable execution data, define a least-privilege key policy, and…
AWS Compute Blog Amazon EventBridge relaunched the Custom event bus so a platform team can share one governed bus across the organization while application teams publish and subscribe from their own accounts. See how retention, ordering, open formats, transformation, and direct target delivery…
AWS Compute Blog AWS Lambda now supports scalable network bandwidth for functions with 2,048 MB of memory or more running outside a VPC. Sustained throughput scales from 625 Mbps up to 3,000 Mbps at 10,240 MB, reducing execution times and per-invocation costs for latency-sensitive data processing…
AWS Compute Blog Many teams want to expose their AWS Lambda MicroVMs under a custom domain they own, and satisfy CORS for browser clients, without changing the application. This post shows how, using an Application Load Balancer that rewrites the Host header and forwards over AWS PrivateLink…
AWS Compute Blog Learn how to run AI agent tool calls in secure, isolated sandboxes using AWS Lambda MicroVMs. This post shows how to architect a self-hosted control plane that launches a fresh, VM-isolated MicroVM for each agent session, keeping credentials, networking, and governance entirely…
AWS Compute Blog Multi-modal autoscaling with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling combines infrastructure metrics like CPU with application-level signals, so a group scales on the demand its users create. In this post, we show you how to implement it, with code samples and results from a controlled test.
AWS Compute Blog Build highly available architectures that span two AWS Outposts racks, or an Outpost rack and an AWS Local Zone, without single points of failure. This post covers three disaster recovery approaches: DNS-based failover, active/active load balancing, and hybrid database…
AWS Compute Blog Orchestrating specialized Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agents with AWS Step Functions gives you the reasoning power of generative AI with the guardrails of deterministic validation. Agents propose options, and deterministic code validates them before any action is taken, demonstrated…
AWS Compute Blog Amazon API Gateway execution logs help you trace request processing step by step through your REST API stages. They capture authorization results, integration latency, mapping template output, and error details that are otherwise invisible at the API surface. When a production…
AWS Compute Blog Organizations with geographically distributed workforces face a trade-off between security and low-latency access. This post explores how to use AWS Local Zones and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions to deploy virtual security appliances closer to end users, covering key…
AWS Compute Blog AWS Lambda now supports a 90-minute function timeout for asynchronous and event source mapping (ESM) invocations on Lambda Managed Instances, a 6x increase from the previous 15-minute limit. Data processing, media transcoding, AI inference, and batch workloads can now run on…
AWS Compute Blog Enterprises that use Amazon API Gateway often want to bring their own client certificate for backend mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication. With API Gateway, you can now use a third-party or AWS Private CA-issued client certificate for the outbound mTLS handshake. In this post, you…
AWS Compute Blog Learn how to use Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to deliver email campaigns at per-recipient optimal send times. This post shows how to create one schedule per recipient with zero idle compute cost, scale schedule creation with AWS Step Functions Distributed Map, and deliver through…
AWS Compute Blog The Amazon Linux kernel-default SSM parameter now updates to point to the latest kernel version as new releases become available. This post explains what this means for your workloads and how to manage the transition.
AWS Compute Blog AWS Step Functions has added a Copy agent prompt button to the console that configures your AI coding agent with Step Functions skills and an MCP server in one step. Paste the prompt into Claude Code, Kiro CLI, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent and start building workflows with…
