Once again we expand our open standard multicloud interconnection solution by adding Azure! Been great working with them to get this ready for customers! If you have multicloud workloads give it a try as it’s as simple as a few clicks to spin up capacity with 4 regions to start with and many more coming! https://lnkd.in/gEXUxfUv
AWS just announced at LEAP in Riyadh: its first cloud infrastructure Region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will launch by December 2026. AWS and HUMAIN are also deepening their partnership to deliver up to 50 MW of capacity in Saudi Arabia's first AI Zone by 2028, including AWS Trainium chips and the latest NVIDIA AI infrastructure. With the new Region, developers, startups, and enterprises across Saudi Arabia can build and scale with cloud and AI tools while serving end users from data centers in the Kingdom. AWS is also investing in people. The Amazon Academy aims to train more than 100,000 Saudi citizens for digital careers, and the AWS Saudi Arabia Women's Skills Initiative will train up to 10,000 women at no charge.

"Eat your security vegetables." 🥕🌽🍅 Dr. Gee Rittenhouse, AWS's VP of Agentic Security, uses that analogy in talking about why the fundamentals matter more than ever as enterprise scale AI agent adoption. Agents are breaking out of sandboxes, fighting turf wars, and taking actions that create unintended consequences. So what do you do about it? Swipe through for your recipe to secure AI agents👇 Hear Gee’s take on bringing security guardrails to agentic AI with Alan Shimel: https://go.aws/4hViP68
AWS CEO Matt Garman has been named to the TIME100 AI list for 2026. 🎊 Matt joined as an MBA intern in 2005, before AWS even had a name, and twenty years later he leads the world's largest cloud provider, now on a $169 billion annualized revenue run rate. Congratulations, Matt. Read the full TIME100 AI profile: https://lnkd.in/eSA6V-rw
AWS and NVIDIA are expanding our long-standing collaboration to help customers scale AI workloads faster and more reliably than ever. We're planning to deploy 2 million additional NVIDIA GPUs across AWS global infrastructure and build AI factories for the U.S. Government with 100,000 GPUs on secure AWS infrastructure, a significant investment driven by customers choosing to run their production AI workloads on AWS. The partnership extends well beyond compute, spanning networking, open models, data processing, and robotics. AWS offers the widest range of NVIDIA GPU solutions of any cloud provider—backed by the security, reliability, and network performance customers depend on for production AI at scale.

AWS VP and Distinguished Engineer Eric Brandwine sat down with Eric Avidon from TechTarget to discuss how AWS is approaching database security in the age of agentic AI. Eric explains that while agents don't create fundamentally new security problems, they are the best information retrieval technology humanity has ever had, which means organizations need to be more rigorous about access controls and credential scoping. "No agent should ever get a credential that wasn't explicitly issued to it. Making sure that the credentials issued to the agent are scoped to the activity that you've asked the agent to perform, and that the agent cannot get access to credentials, is incredibly important."

DuckLabs brings world-class analytics engineering and a track record of building software developers love. I couldn't be happier to welcome Hannes, Mark, and the DuckDB Labs team to AWS and our team, and I'm excited for what we'll deliver for customers together. https://lnkd.in/eie7YUDa
"This is fine. All fine." This is the network after one router fails. In a traditional data center network, it's like an airport where every plane taxis through the same corridor. The more traffic, the more congestion builds up in one place. AWS built something different. It's called Resilient Network Graphs (RNG). A flat network where traffic spreads across hundreds of paths instead of funneling through a few. No single router carries a disproportionate load, so congestion doesn't pile up. And somehow it uses 69% less hardware, runs 33% faster, and draws 40% less power. Take a look inside the radical new data center network in this story from HackerNoon: https://go.aws/4qxBIOK
AWS is transforming its go-to-market engine with agentic AI — and McKinsey & Company documented the journey. A new independent case study and podcast from McKinsey detail how AWS moved from more than 200 disconnected tools and 40+ systems to a unified, agent-enabled operating model — redesigning how work flows so teams can focus more on customers. Greg Pearson and Liz Hilton Segel discuss the five lessons every CEO should take from this transformation — including why fixing data before scaling AI is non-negotiable. https://go.aws/4xXVSE0
AI is changing cybersecurity on both sides of the battlefield. In this episode of the Dow Jones Risk Journal, Amazon Chief Security Officer Stephen Schmidt shares what Amazon has learned from deploying AI at scale, why the most powerful model isn't always the right one, and what happens when exploitation timelines shrink from weeks to minutes. But even as AI accelerates many areas, Schmidt says the human element isn't going anywhere: "To get the best results, you need to have the adept human asking the right questions with the right context in the right way to the correct model, where not all models are the same, and not all models are correct for individual tasks."
