Let me start updating this week with something I am particularly enthusiastic – the upcoming cohort besa (become an architect of a solution). Besa is a free mentoring program that I host with several other AWS employees on a volunteer basis to help people stand out in their cloud career. Last week, the instructors line -up was completed for a 6 -week cohort since September 6th. Kohorta focuses on migration and modernization at AWS. For more information, see BESA.
Another highlight for me last week was the announcement of six new AWS heroes for their technical guidance and exceptional contributions to the AWS community. Read full announcements and learn more about these community leaders.
Start of Last Week
Here are several launches from last week that caught me:
- The Amazon EC2 Single GPU P5 is now generally available-Machine learning (ML) and HPCs (HPC) can be costly effectively with the new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (AMAZON EC2) P5 with the NVIDIA H100 GPU.
- The AWS Advanced Go is generally available-you can use the AWS Advanced Go with the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-compatible and MySQL compatible database database for identity and AWS (EAM). PostgreSQL and MySQL packages can be installed for Windows, Mac or Linux by tracking installation guides in Github.
- Extended support for Cilium with Amazon EKS – Cilium hybrid nodes is a graded Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that provides basic network capabilities for Kubernetes working load. Now you can get support from the AWS for a wider set of Cilium functions when using a Cilium with Amazon EKS hybrid nodes, including the application ingress, the load leveling, the Kubernetes network principles, and the Kube-Proxy replacement mode.
- Amazon Sagemaker AI now supports UltraSERVERS P6E-GB200-you can speed up the training and deployment of basic models (FMS) in a 72 GPU NVIDIA Blackwell GPU in Nvink Domain under the new P6-GB200 UltraSERver Support.
- Amazon Sagemaker Hyperpod now supports fine-grained quota allocation with computational sources, Topology-Considering LLM tasks and your own images Amazon Machine-Assign a fine-grained GPU quota, Accelerator Trainium, VCP and VCPU resources. With topology planning, you can plan the tasks of a large language model (LLM) on optimal network topology to minimize network communication and increase training efficiency. With your own AMIS, you can use clusters with pre -configured, secure environment that meet your specific organizational requirements.
Another update
Here are some other innovations and posts on the blog that seemed interesting to me:
- Celebration of 10 years of Amazon Aurora Innovation – Join Livestream 21. August 2025 to celebrate a decade of aurora innovation.
- The AWS named as a leader in 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strateg Cloud Platform Services-Po, the fifteenth consecutive year, was called AWs leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategy Cloud Platform Services (SCP).
- Introducing the AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI) MCP server – you can now use a natural language to manage cloud infrastructure using CCAPI MCP. You can create, read, update, delete and list with natural language.
- The Amazon Bedrock Agentcore Identity Identity Identity provides a centralized ability to manage agents identity, ensure login data and support smooth integration with AWS and third-party services via SIGV4, standardized flows OAuth 2.0 and API Key.
- Introducing Amazon Bedrock Agentcore Gateway – a fully managed service to connect AI agents with tools and services. It serves as a centralized tool server and provides a uniform interface where agents can discover, access and induce tools.
Upcoming AWS events
Check your calendars and register for the upcoming AWS and AWS Community events:
- AWS Re: Invent 2025 (December 1-5, 2025, Las Vegas)-AWS’s boat offers innovation cooperation through peer-to-peer learning, experts and invaluable opportunities to create networks.
- Aws Summits-Jrime to free online and personal events that connect the Cloud Computing community to combine, cooperate and learn about AWS. Soon, summits in Johannesburg (August 20) and Toronto (September 4) appear.
- Community AWS Community Discussions, Workshops and Practical Laboratories led by AWS professional users and industry leaders from all over the world: Adria (September 5), Baltic (September 10), Aotearoa (September 18) and South Africa.
Join the AWS Builder Center and learn, build and connect with builders in the AWS community. Walk here for the upcoming events focused on personal and virtual developers.
That’s all for this week. See the next Monday for the next week round!
