Kubernetes v1.36: Advancing Workload-Aware Scheduling

AI/ML and batch workloads introduce unique scheduling challenges that go beyond simple Pod-by-Pod scheduling. In Kubernetes v1.35, we introduced the first tranche of workload-aware scheduling improvements, featuring the foundational Workload API alongside basic gang scheduling support built on a Pod-based framework, and an opportunistic batching feature to efficiently process identical Pods. Kubernetes v1.36 introduces a significant architectural evolution by cleanly separating API concerns: the

Build financial document processing with Pulse AI and Amazon Bedrock

This post demonstrates how to build a documentation extraction and model fine-tuning pipeline that addresses challenges when processing the complex financial documents. By combining Pulse AI's advanced document understanding capabilities with the powerful AI services of Amazon Bedrock, organizations can achieve enterprise-grade accuracy and extract contextually relevant financial insights at scale.

Transform Video Into Instantly Searchable, Actionable Intelligence with AI Agents and Skills

In today’s data-driven world, organizations increasingly rely on video to capture critical information, yet extracting meaningful, real-time insights from... In today’s data-driven world, organizations increasingly rely on video to capture critical information, yet extracting meaningful, real-time insights from massive amounts of footage remains a challenge. NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS) overcomes this hurdle by transforming millions of live video streams o

Build real-time voice streaming applications with Amazon Nova Sonic and WebRTC

Building end-to-end live streaming applications with real-time voice interaction presents several challenges. This post introduces a solution based on Amazon Nova 2 Sonic (Nova Sonic) and Amazon Kinesis Video Streams WebRTC (WebRTC) that addresses these challenges. In this post, we’ll walk through the solution architecture, implementation patterns, and two real-world scenario examples.

Zero-downtime DynamoDB construct migration: from Table to TableV2 with cdk orphan

In this post, we show you how to use the new cdk orphan command to safely migrate a DynamoDB table from the Table construct to TableV2 with zero downtime. Your data stays intact, streams keep flowing, and your application remains available throughout the process.

Securing AI agents: How AWS and Cisco AI Defense scale MCP and A2A deployments

The Cisco and AWS partnership addresses three challenges enterprises face when scaling AI agents: visibility gaps, security bottlenecks, and compliance risks. In this post, we explore how you can overcome AI security challenges through automated scanning and unified governance.

Fine-tune LLM with Databricks Unity Catalog and Amazon SageMaker AI

In this post, we demonstrate how to build a secure, complete LLM fine-tuning workflow that integrates Unity Catalog with Amazon SageMaker AI using Amazon EMR Serverless for preprocessing. The solution shows how to securely access governed data, maintain lineage across services, fine-tune the Ministral-3-3B-Instruct model, and register trained artifacts back into Unity Catalog. With this approach, you can continue using your existing services while preserving central governance, tracking data lin
