AWS Compute

Organizations using AWS Outposts racks commonly manage capacity from a single AWS account and share resources through AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) with other AWS accounts (consumer accounts) within AWS Organizations. In this post, we demonstrate one approach to create a multi-account serverless solution to surface costs in shared AWS Outposts environments using Amazon

Building memory-intensive applications with AWS Lambda just got easier. AWS Lambda Managed Instances gives you up to 32 GB of memory—3x more than standard AWS Lambda—while maintaining the serverless experience you know. Modern applications increasingly require substantial memory resources to process large datasets, perform complex analytics, and deliver real-time insights for use cases such as

This post shows you how to accelerate your AI inference workloads by up to 76% using Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) – an accelerator that uses specialized hardware and instructions to perform matrix operations directly on processor cores – on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) 8th generation instances. You’ll learn when CPU-based inference is cost-effective, how to enable AMX with minimal code changes, and which configurations deliver optimal performance for your models.

In this post, you will learn how to configure AWS Lambda Managed Instances by creating a Capacity Provider that defines your compute infrastructure, associating your Lambda function with that provider, and publishing a function version to provision the execution environments. We will conclude with production best practices including scaling strategies, thread safety, and observability for reliable performance.

A resilient auto scaling policy requires metrics that correlate with application utilization, which may not be tied to system resources. Traditionally, auto scaling policies track system resource such as CPU utilization. These metrics are easily available, but they only work when resource consumption correlates with worker capacity. Factors such as high variance in request processing time, mixed instance types, or natural changes in application behavior over time can break this assumption.

This post walks through a fraud detection system built with durable functions. It also highlights the best practices that you can apply to your own production workflows, from approval processes to data pipelines to AI agent orchestration.

AWS Step Functions recently announced new enhancements to local testing capabilities for Step Functions, introducing API-based testing that developers can use to validate workflows before deploying to AWS. As detailed in our Announcement blog post, the TestState API transforms Step Functions development by enabling individual state testing in isolation or as complete workflows. This supports

This post is part 3 of the three-part series ‘Enabling high availability of Amazon EC2 instances on AWS Outposts servers’. We provide you with code samples and considerations for implementing custom logic to automate Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) relaunch on Outposts servers. This post focuses on guidance for using Outposts servers with third party storage for boot

Customers use AWS Lambda to build Serverless applications for a wide variety of use cases, from simple API backends to complex data processing pipelines. Lambda’s flexibility makes it an excellent choice for many workloads, and with support for up to 10,240 MB of memory, you can now tackle compute-intensive tasks that were previously challenging in a Serverless environment. When you configure a Lambda function’s memory size, you allocate RAM and Lambda automatically provides proportional CPU power. When you configure 10,240 MB, your Lambda function has access to up to 6 vCPUs.

This post is co-written with Neel Patel, Abdullahi Olaoye, Kristopher Kersten, Aniket Deshpande from NVIDIA. Today, we’re excited to announce that the NVIDIA Evo-2 NVIDIA NIM microservice are now listed in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. You can use this launch to deploy accelerated and specialized NIM microservices to build, experiment, and responsibly scale your drug discovery

Business applications often coordinate multiple steps that need to run reliably or wait for extended periods, such as customer onboarding, payment processing, or orchestrating large language model inference. These critical processes require completion despite temporary disruptions or system failures. Developers currently spend significant time implementing mechanisms to track progress, handle failures, and manage resources when

Stay current with the latest serverless innovations that can transform your applications. In this 31st quarterly recap, discover the most impactful AWS serverless launches, features, and resources from Q4 2025 that you might have missed.

To support cloud applications that increasingly depend on rich contextual data, AWS is raising the maximum payload size from 256 KB to 1 MB for asynchronous AWS Lambda function invocations, Amazon Amazon SQS, and Amazon EventBridge. Developers can use this enhancement to build and maintain context-rich event-driven systems and reduce the need for complex workarounds such as data chunking or external large object storage.

AWS now supports multiple local gateway (LGW) routing domains on AWS Outposts racks to simplify network segmentation. Network segmentation is the practice of splitting a computer network into isolated subnetworks, or network segments. This reduces the attack surface so that if a host on one network segment is compromised, the hosts on the other network segments are not affected. Many customers in regulated industries such as manufacturing, health care and life sciences, banking, and others implement network segmentation as part of their on-premises network security standards to reduce the impact of a breach and help address compliance requirements.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) on AWS Outposts brings the power of managed Kubernetes to your on-premises infrastructure. Use Amazon EKS on Outposts rack to create hybrid cloud deployments that maintain consistent AWS experiences across environments. As organizations increasingly adopt edge computing and hybrid architectures, storage optimization and performance tuning become critical for successful workload deployment.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda now supports .NET 10 as both a managed runtime and base container image. .NET is a popular language for building serverless applications. Developers can now use the new features and enhancements in .NET when creating serverless applications on Lambda. This includes support for file-based apps to streamline your projects by implementing functions using just a single file.

In healthcare, generative AI is transforming how medical professionals analyze data, summarize clinical notes, and generate insights to improve patient outcomes. From automating medical documentation to assisting in diagnostic reasoning, large language models (LLMs) have the potential to augment clinical workflows and accelerate research. However, these innovations also introduce significant privacy, security, and intellectual property challenges.

Organizations often have large volumes of documents containing valuable information that remains locked away and unsearchable. This solution addresses the need for a scalable, automated text extraction and knowledge base pipeline that transforms static document collections into intelligent, searchable repositories for generative AI applications.

You can now develop AWS Lambda functions using Node.js 24, either as a managed runtime or using the container base image. Node.js 24 is in active LTS status and ready for production use. It is expected to be supported with security patches and bugfixes until April 2028. The Lambda runtime for Node.js 24 includes a new implementation of the

Recently we announced the availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8a instances, the latest addition to the AMD memory-optimized instance family. These instances are powered by the 5th Generation AMD EPYC (codename Turin) processors with a maximum frequency of 4.5 GHz. In this post I take these instances for a spin and benchmark MySQL later on, but first I discuss the top things you should know about these instances.
