Effective August 1, 2025, AWS will standardize billing for the initialization (INIT) phase across all AWS Lambda function configurations. This change specifically affects on-demand invocations of Lambda functions packaged as ZIP files that use managed runtimes, for which the INIT phase duration was previously unbilled. This update standardizes billing of the INIT phase across all runtime types, deployment packages, and invocation modes. In this post, we discuss the Lambda Function Lifecycle a...| Amazon Web Services

This blog post was authored by Robert Northard, Principal Container Specialist SA, Eric Chapman, Senior Product Manager EKS, and Elamaran Shanmugam, Senior Specialist Partner SA. Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Hybrid Nodes transform how you run generative AI inference workloads across cloud and on-premises environments. Extending your EKS cluster to on-premises infrastructure allows you […]| Amazon Web Services
In this post, we dive deep into cluster networking configurations for Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes, exploring different Container Network Interface (CNI) options and load balancing solutions to meet various networking requirements. The post demonstrates how to implement BGP routing with Cilium CNI, static routing with Calico CNI, and set up both on-premises load balancing using MetalLB and external load balancing using AWS Load Balancer Controller.| Amazon Web Services
This powerful and cost-effective model outperforms on intelligence benchmarks, with remarkable capabilities in vision, writing, customer support, analytics, and coding to revolutionize your workflows.| Amazon Web Services
In this post, we demonstrate how to implement Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) fine-tuning of the dolly-v2-7b model using Amazon ECS. The solution uses a Ray cluster running on ECS with two services (head and worker) connected to Amazon S3, enabling efficient distributed training across multiple GPUs while abstracting away container orchestration complexities.| Amazon Web Services
Today, AWS announces the open-source AWS Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a tool that combines the power of AI assistance with serverless expertise to enhance how developers build modern applications. The Serverless MCP Server provides contextual guidance specific to serverless development, helping developers make informed decisions about architecture, implementation, and deployment. This post describes how the Serverless MCP Server works with AI coding assistants to streamline...| Amazon Web Services
