Vercel Sandbox now supports Secure Compute (opens on the source site)
Vercel ·
Vercel Sandbox now supports Secure Compute, connecting sandboxes to a team's dedicated network. Public-internet traffic exits through the network's static IPs, and sandboxes can reach private resources in an AWS VPC through VPC peering. You can attach a sandbox to your network in your code or via the CLI. In your code, pass an existing Secure Compute network ID when creating a sandbox: In the CLI, append --network-id and your network id value when you run the sandbox create command: Existing sandboxes can attach to or change networks with sandbox.update(). The change takes effect on the next…
Trading off compute for memory with activation checkpointing (opens on the source site)
The following is part of a series of posts about 2026 summer intern projects—for more, see “What the interns have wrought, special jumbo 2026 edition”
Trading a Cloud Identity for Your Own: Workload Attestation on Managed Compute (opens on the source site)
Netflix ·
By Dhruv PratapIntroductionOrganizations that have been around for a while usually run two identity systems side by side. One belongs to the cloud provider: IAM roles, instance profiles, execution roles. The other is your own, and it is the one your internal services actually check when they decide whether to answer a request.On infrastructure you build yourself, you can bootstrap your own identity however you like. On managed compute you cannot. The provider hands your process a cloud identity and nothing else.This post describes how we close that gap for Apache Spark workloads running on…
Elastic Cloud on Azure gets a speed boost: Compute-optimized instances on Azure Cobalt ARM (opens on the source site)
Elastic ·
Starting September 24, 2026, Elastic Cloud on Azure adds compute-optimized (ARM) hardware profiles backed by Microsoft's Cobalt ARM processors, delivering up to 37% better throughput than the previous generation Ampere Altra VMs at lower cost.
New low-cost burstable Amazon EC2 T8i instances are generally available (opens on the source site)
AWS ·
AWS introduces new low-cost burstable Amazon EC2 T8i instances powered by custom sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Granite Rapids), available only on AWS. T8i instances are among the lowest-cost EC2 instances and deliver up to 30% better price performance over previous generation T3 instances.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk introduces Cluster Mode (opens on the source site)
AWS ·
Run an application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk Cluster Mode without provisioning or operating the compute underneath it. You provide a container image or source code; Elastic Beanstalk with service-operated compute creates and operates the environment that runs it.
Secure Compute and Static IP builds start 64% faster (opens on the source site)
Vercel ·
Builds using Secure Compute or Static IPs now start 64% faster, with the average time from deployment creation to build start dropping from 6.7 seconds to 2.4 seconds. Previously, each build waited for a new build container to boot with its network configuration. These builds now use prewarmed build containers, with your network configuration attached when the build starts. The improvement is applied automatically to builds using Secure Compute or Static IPs, with no configuration changes required. Learn more about Secure Compute and Static IPs.
Announcing ClickHouse On-Demand Compute: Instant compute for your most intensive workloads (opens on the source site)
ClickHouse On-Demand Compute lets you scale individual queries with additional workers, run intensive workloads without disrupting production, and use compute when you need it.
WebGPU Compute Shaders for High-Throughput Syntax Highlighting (opens on the source site)
Master moving high-throughput code tokenization and syntax classification from CPU regex loops on the main UI thread to parallel WGSL compute shaders in WebGPU for lag-free in-browser code editing. Continue reading WebGPU Compute Shaders for High-Throughput Syntax Highlighting on SitePoint.
Compute that takes any shape (opens on the source site)
Vercel ·
Iteration velocity is now set by how quickly you can provision the computer your app or agent needs. Workloads differ in how long they run, how much memory they take, and how much of the environment they control. That previously meant a different compute primitive for each job, so product iterations required provisioning infrastructure, not just working on a feature. We built Vercel so that none of this has to be your problem. The compute layer is a single system with a simple job. Take any workload, assemble the machine it needs, swap configuration on the fly, and absorb burst capacity in…
NVIDIA AI Factory Compute Is Becoming an Investable Asset Class (opens on the source site)
Nvidia ·
We announced partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to establish independent financing platforms designed to mobilize over $500 billion of third-party capital to support the buildout of AI infrastructure over time. This is a major milestone for NVIDIA and the AI industry. We have moved from an era in which companies […]
Why Scaling AI Compute Performance Requires a New Power Architecture (opens on the source site)
Nvidia ·
Every new generation of accelerated computing demands more from the infrastructure underneath it — more compute performance, higher rack density and more efficient, scalable power distribution. The bottleneck isn’t just wattage. It’s how power gets from the grid to the GPU. In traditional power delivery, electricity travels from the grid as an alternating current (AC) […]
Runtime instances: persistent compute for production AI agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (opens on the source site)
AWS ·
Announcing runtime instances in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore—persistent, managed EC2 infrastructure for production AI agents with multi-agent collaboration, GPU support, and sessions lasting up to 14 days.
How Lawmatics Cut CI Compute Cost by 39.3% and Shortened Pipeline Time by 15.8% (opens on the source site)
CI optimization is easiest to reason about when the problem is concrete: one pipeline, one critical path, and one cost model. Lawmatics reached out to us with that kind of problem. Their application pipeline was already parallelized and already using a sensible CI structure. The remaining question was whether the most expensive part of the […] The post How Lawmatics Cut CI Compute Cost by 39.3% and Shortened Pipeline Time by 15.8% appeared first on Semaphore.
Upgrade Amazon EKS clusters with confidence using Kubernetes version rollbacks (opens on the source site)
AWS ·
Learn how Kubernetes version rollbacks for Amazon EKS let you reverse cluster upgrades within seven days. This new feature provides a safety net for upgrade failures—no cluster rebuilds required—turning Kubernetes version upgrades into a reversible, low-risk operation.
Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control: AWS Lambda introduces MicroVMs (opens on the source site)
AWS ·
AWS launches a new serverless compute primitive, AWS Lambda MicroVMs. VM-level, isolated sandboxes with no shared kernel or resources between sessions. Rapid launch and resume, full lifecycle control, state preservation up to 8 hours, no infrastructure to manage.
How Netflix Simplified Batch Compute with Kueue (opens on the source site)
Netflix ·
By Alvin Bao, Alex Petrov, Jennifer Lai, Aidan Sherr, and Samartha ChandrashekarAs a part of the journey to transition Netflix’s compute infrastructure to be more Kubernetes-native, we have leaned into incorporating components from the Kubernetes ecosystem into our container platform Titus. One example of this is our use of Kueue, a cloud-native job queueing system for batch workloads, which has largely replaced the custom queuing and scheduling logic in our homegrown managed batch solution Compute Managed Batch (CMB). In this post, we’ll give an overview of what motivated the migration, how…
