When we introduced the Strands Agents SDK, our goal was to make agentic development simple and flexible by embracing a model-driven approach. Today, we’re excited to highlight how you can use Claude 4’s interleaved thinking beta feature with Strands to further simplify how you write AI agents to solve complex tasks with tools. With a […]| AWS Open Source Blog
This post was contributed by Andrea Veri from the GNOME Foundation. It has been cross-posted from gnome.org with permission. GNOME has historically hosted its infrastructure on premises. That changed with an AWS Open Source Credits program sponsorship which has allowed our team of two SREs to migrate the majority of the workloads to the cloud […]| Amazon Web Services
Microservices and containers are revolutionizing how modern applications are built, deployed, and managed in the cloud. However, developing and operating microservices can introduce significant complexity, often requiring developers to spend valuable time on cross-cutting concerns like service discovery, state management, and observability. Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) is an open source runtime for building microservices on […]| AWS Open Source Blog
At AWS, open standards run deep in our DNA, driving all that we do. That’s why we decided to build Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) as a protocol-agnostic cloud computing service and Amazon SageMaker as a framework-agnostic deep learning service. Our commitment to openness continues as we enter the agentic AI era, extending to inter-agent […]| Amazon Web Services
Today I am happy to announce we are releasing Strands Agents. Strands Agents is an open source SDK that takes a model-driven approach to building and running AI agents in just a few lines of code.

Snowflake Corporate IT Cloud Operations reached a critical juncture in its cloud infrastructure evolution. Managing large-scale containerized workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) demanded a modern, secure, and efficient operating system. The existing setup, running on Amazon Linux 2 (AL2), was functional but presented several challenges. Security hardening required frequent updates and patching, […]| AWS Open Source Blog
In 2022, we published a post describing the advantages of running video encoding workloads on AWS Graviton processors. Since that time, AWS launched Graviton4 powered C8g instances which offer up to 30% better performance than Graviton3. On video encoding workloads, Graviton4 performs 12-15% better than Graviton3, depending on the encoder, as shown in the following […]| AWS Open Source Blog
Today, Amazon Web Services is proud to reaffirm our commitment to providing vital infrastructure for free and open source software projects.
