7/9/2026, 12:00:00 AM ~ 7/10/2026, 12:00:00 AM (UTC) Recent Announcements Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now publishes database state change events to Amazon EventBridge Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now publishes events to Amazon EventBridge when your database instances or clusters undergo state changes. Events are emitted for lifecycle operations including creation, deletion, compute and storage scaling, parameter group updates, maintenance windows, and reboot — covering both successful completions and failures.\n With this capability, customers can use Amazon EventBridge rules to programmatically react to database operations without polling the API for status....

7/8/2026, 12:00:00 AM ~ 7/9/2026, 12:00:00 AM (UTC) Recent Announcements AWS Builder Center Now Offers Free Sandbox Environments AWS Builder Center now lets builders request free, time-limited sandbox environments directly from eligible workshops, eliminating the need for a personal AWS account, credit card, or concerns about unexpected charges. Previously, workshops could only be completed using a builder’s own AWS account. With sandbox environments, builders of all skill levels can safely deploy resources, write code, and experiment in a pre-provisioned AWS account....

You can inspect logs, query running processes, check GPU utilization, and examine application state — all without managing SSH keys, open ports, or infrastructure credentials.\n Stream Session Admin Shell provides a terminal connection with the same level of access as your Amazon GameLift Streams applications....

7/6/2026, 12:00:00 AM ~ 7/7/2026, 12:00:00 AM (UTC) Recent Announcements Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports disaggregated prefill and decode Amazon SageMaker HyperPod now supports Disaggregated Prefill and Decode (DPD), an inference optimization that separates the two phases of large language model (LLM) inference — prefill and decode — onto dedicated GPU pools and transfers the key-value (KV) cache between them over Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) using GPU-Direct RDMA. Customers running LLMs in production for chat assistants, agentic pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation, and long-document analysis need consistent per-token latency and predictable throughput under mixed traffic, but when prefill and decode share the same GPU, a single long-context request can stall token generation for every concurrent request and force customers to over-provision one phase to protect the other....
