AWS just unlocked a neat trick: you can now serve Lambda Web Functions through CloudFront's worldwide edge locations, getting TLS termination, caching, and DDoS protection straight out of the box—no code changes needed. Origin Access Control locks things down so only CloudFront can reach your Lambda function, and you can layer AWS WAF on top for extra security.

AWS just dropped Lambda Web Functions, a serverless compute primitive that runs your HTTP framework natively with multi-concurrent execution and automatic global distribution. If you're tired of managing infrastructure for web apps, this delivers fast, consistent responses without the ops headache.

AWS breaks down Prime Day 2026's jaw-dropping infrastructure metrics, including ElastiCache hitting 2.3 quadrillion daily requests, while introducing Claude Haiku 5.5 and Amazon Nova 2.5 Sonic for developers looking to scale AI workloads. Get the numbers that prove why cloud infrastructure matters when billions of shoppers hit at once.

Amazon GuardDuty now tags attack sequences with five new indicator types—MALICIOUS_PACKAGE, MISCONFIGURATION, REACHABILITY, SENSITIVE_DATA, and VULNERABILITY—making it easier to spot the full picture of threats in your cloud environment. As a cloud engineer, you should review your GuardDuty findings to leverage these richer signals and catch attack chains earlier before they escalate.

Learn how to enforce ML-DSA algorithm policies across your AWS environment using SCPs and IAM to prevent non-compliant cryptographic choices. This practical guide helps you balance post-quantum security requirements with signature size constraints while keeping your infrastructure locked down.

AWS just dropped Lambda Web Functions, letting your code handle HTTP requests directly using familiar frameworks like Express or Hono—no adapters needed. You're getting Node.js support across five regions (US East/West, Tokyo, Ireland) with pay-per-active-CPU pricing, multi-region routing, and native HTTP streaming that'll make your AI endpoints and SSR apps way snappier.

AWS now lets US customers sign up and pay invoices directly from their bank accounts using ACH direct debit—no credit card needed. Both new and existing customers can link their USD bank accounts through secure authentication, making payment management smoother and more flexible.
