The decision now
AWS Weekly Roundup: Welcome DuckLabs to the team, Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD), and more (August 31, 2026): The news that interested me the most last week was the DuckLabs acquisition.
Happy 20th Birthday, Amazon EC2: On the 20th Anniversary, we recognize how AWS has continued to push the boundaries of what cloud computing can deliver, building custom silicon for general-purpose and AI workloads and expanding EC2 into new form factors and deployment models that our customers in 2006 could not have imagined.

In the works: AWS Builder Lofts in Berlin, Hyderabad, and São Paulo: Each location will be a permanent community space to offer free workshops, networking events, pitch nights, content creation spaces, collaboration/co-working areas, and event hosting for developers, students, or tech professionals who want to walk through the doors.
