Open Governance for MySQL: A Step Forward for the Community

MySQL — the open source database behind millions of applications worldwide — is opening a new chapter. Today, Oracle announced a community governance model for MySQL that creates pathways for the broader community to participate in the project’s development and direction. This post explains why AWS supports this move and what it means for the […]

AWS and Others Invest $12.5M to Defend the Open Source Ecosystem from AI Threats

AWS, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI today announced a joint $12.5 million investment with the Linux Foundation to help open source projects address a surge in AI-enhanced and AI-generated security vulnerability reports. Both the Alpha Omega initiative and the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) will receive funding through the Linux Foundation grants. Software security is at […]

Building intelligent physical AI: From edge to cloud with Strands Agents, Bedrock AgentCore, Claude 4.5, NVIDIA GR00T, and Hugging Face LeRobot

Agentic AI systems are rapidly expanding beyond the digital world and into the physical, where AI agents perceive, reason, and act in real environments. As AI systems increasingly interact with the physical world through robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure, a fundamental question emerges: how do we build agents that leverage massive cloud compute for […]

Jupyter Deploy: Create a JupyterLab application with real-time collaboration in the cloud in minutes

Jupyter notebooks have become a popular tool for data scientists, researchers, educators and analysts who need to experiment with code, visualize data, and document their findings. Many users run Jupyter on their laptops. This creates limitations to collaborate with a distributed team because users cannot securely provide direct access to their local JupyterLab application over […]

Introducing CLI Agent Orchestrator: Transforming Developer CLI Tools into a Multi-Agent Powerhouse

Today we are introducing CLI Agent Orchestrator (CAO, pronounced “kay-oh”), an open source, multi-agent orchestration framework that transforms how developers work with AI-powered CLI tools such as Amazon Q CLI and Claude Code. While individual developer CLI tools excel at focused tasks with sophisticated reasoning and autonomous execution, complex enterprise development projects often require coordination […]

Strands Agents and the Model-Driven Approach

Until recently, building AI agents meant wrestling with complex orchestration frameworks. Developers wrote elaborate state machines, predefined workflows, and extensive error-handling code to guide language models through multi-step tasks. We needed to build elaborate decision trees to handle “what if the API call fails?” or “what if the user asks something unexpected?” Despite this effort, […]

AWS joins the DocumentDB project to build interoperable, open source document database technology

AWS joins the DocumentDB project to build interoperable, open source document database technology

At AWS, we design cloud services that give customers the freedom to choose technology that best suits their needs. Our commitment to interoperability with open standards and open source technologies is a key reason customers choose AWS. This is one of the reasons why we launched Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) in 2019. Amazon DocumentDB […]
