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 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 […]

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 […]

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.
