Upgrading a Kubernetes control plane has long been a one way door. Open source Kubernetes doesn’t support control plane rollback, so once you upgrade, there’s no going back. The community is making real progress here, and KEP-4330 introduces emulated versions to ease rollback. But in practice this constraint has pushed organizations to build elaborate compensating…
Claude in Microsoft Foundry is the production path enterprises have been asking for: true frontier model choice, Azure-native controls, simplified procurement, and faster time to value. Most enterprise AI projects do not stall because of model quality. They stall because of everything around the model: procurement, governance, networking, and data. Claude in Microsoft Foundry is…
A couple of months ago, I sat across from my nine-year-old daughter’s teachers at a parent-teacher conference. They were kind but concerned. She takes her time on assignments, they said—often deep in thought. How would she do on timed tests next year? I told them I wasn’t worried. What they described as a problem is, to me,…

Today, we’re announcing AWS CloudFormation Express mode, a new deployment mode that accelerates deployments for developers and AI tools iterating on infrastructure. Express mode accelerates deployments by completing when CloudFormation confirms resource configuration is applied, rather than waiting for extended stabilization checks. This reduces deployment time by up to 4 times for iterative development workflows and…
When you run compute-intensive workloads like real-time analytics, batch processing, video encoding, scientific modeling, or CPU-based machine learning inference, every percentage point of performance matters. You need instances that deliver higher throughput per vCPU, faster memory access, and more network bandwidth, all while keeping your costs in check. Today I am happy to announce the…
