Transform AI from a security blind spot into a roadmap
AI adoption is already outpacing governance. Blocking it won’t help; CISOs need a sanctioned path that’s easier and more useful than the workaround.
Building ambient agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: From event-driven signals to human-in-the-loop workflows
Ambient agents respond to events such as an Amazon S3 upload, a schedule, or an alert instead of waiting for a chat prompt. This post walks through building framework-agnostic ambient agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore using Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda, and Amazon DynamoDB, with a single ask_human tool and a Jobs page for human-in-the-loop review.
Implementing Multi-Environment Access for Claude Platform on AWS
Learn how to configure secure, multi-environment access to Claude Platform on AWS from a single subscription: cross-account SigV4 for AWS workloads, workspace-scoped API keys for developers, and OIDC federation for external environments, with workspace-level isolation in a dedicated AI Services account.
Simplify dashboard drill-down with the Amazon Quick Sight hierarchy filter
Amazon Quick Sight is a fully managed, cloud-native business intelligence (BI) capability for building and publishing interactive dashboards. The new hierarchy filter gives dashboard authors rich, multi-level filtering in a single compact control, reducing clutter and guiding readers to the data they need in fewer steps.
AWS launches a local answer to TypeSafe’s Jev decision model
AWS’s new Strands Decider 2B is a small decision model that runs locally and gives AI agents a fast check before they act, with no invalid outputs.
Introducing Clef: our open-source decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
We are introducing Clef and Clef-flash, open-source decision models hosted on Workers AI for high-speed classification and agentic workflows. Also launching: a new reinforcement learning platform that allows developers to fine-tune decision models using their own data.
How uniopen customized Amazon Nova to their retail moderation policies for production deployment
See how uniopen, a retail platform from Taiwan's Uni-President Enterprises Group, adapted Amazon Nova 2 Lite to its content-moderation policies using supervised fine-tuning in Amazon SageMaker AI and prompt optimization. Business-relevant evaluation and release gates kept quality in check.
A live Kubernetes cluster can still have an ownership gap
After a Kubernetes cluster goes live, platform and application teams need clear responsibilities for upgrades, access, recovery, and shared workloads.
Use Graph RAG when relationships are part of the evidence
Discover how Graph RAG combines vector search with explicit relationship mapping to provide reliable evidence for complex AI questions.
One year later: Sovereign AI and the fight for choice
AI sovereignty is not a zero-sum game, but many governments now believe it is. Cloudflare's answer: more local open-source models, model-agnostic security tools, and a commitment to giving nations genuine choice.
Introducing Workers KV Instant — powered by Quicksilver
Workers KV Instant delivers sub-2ms p99 read latencies and 250ms global replication across Cloudflare’s 300+ edge locations. KV Instant eliminates cold-read penalties and uses the familiar Workers KV API.
Introducing Cloudflare Basin: an open, serverless data platform, now generally available
Cloudflare Basin is built on Apache Iceberg and R2 Object Storage. With general availability, developers can ingest, manage, and query large datasets at scale without paying data egress fees.
In AI security, there’s no room for a defender’s mindset
AI threats require an offensive security mindset. Learn how engineering-led teams use proactive automation to stop cyber adversaries.
AI coding agents leaked 13,000 screenshots, and nobody hacked them
AI coding agents leaked 13,000 internal screenshots from 300+ organizations by creating public GitHub repos. Here’s how it happened and how to stop it.
AI agents speed up development — data access slows them down
AI agents made building internal apps fast. Getting them safe access to live production data is still slow, manual, and scattered across every system.
Amazon S3 Tables now support all Apache Iceberg V3 data types
Amazon S3 Tables now support all data types in the Apache Iceberg V3 spec, along with column default values, deletion vectors, and row lineage. Upgrade existing V2 tables or create new V3 tables with built-in compaction, maintenance, and engine compatibility.
Amazon S3 Vectors now supports metadata pre-filtering for higher recall on filtered searches
Amazon S3 Vectors now supports metadata pre filtering, delivering up to 5x higher recall on filtered searches. Filters evaluate before similarity search so scoped queries return more relevant results. Ideal for RAG, agentic apps, and document search.
Gemini 4 Argon is here: It’s great, and you can’t have it yet
Google’s Gemini 4 Argon tops OpenAI and Anthropic on most benchmarks, especially knowledge work, but its coding scores are mixed and access is limited.
Cohere’s faster query model barely dents retrieval quality in its tests
Cohere’s Embed 5 lets developers index with the Pro model and query those vectors with the cheaper Fast model, so RAG and agent teams skip a second index.
CloudBees just committed to an AI-first pivot. Here’s why it matters for enterprise DevOps teams
When new CloudBees CEO Mo Plassnig took the job earlier this year, his board of directors handed him a mandate that left little room for interpretation: Do not stay the course. In an era when generative AI is radically reshaping how software is written, deployed, and managed, keeping things business-as-usual for an enterprise continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD) stalwart like CloudBees would be a ticket to irrelevance. Last week at the WeAreDevelopers Conference in San Jose, California,
