AWS Weekly Roundup: Strads Agents, Aws Transform, Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, AWS Codebuild and others (May 19, 2025) | Amazon Web Services

Polly expressed

Many events have been interested in this period! Last week I was in Ai Week in Italy. This week I will be in Zurich for the AWS Community Day – Switzerland. May 22, you can join us for the AWS Cloud Infrastructure Day and learn about top progress across Compute, AI/Ml, Storage, Networking, Technologies without servers and global infrastructure. Check out the events in your area, where you will find the opportunity to share your knowledge and learn from others.

What was particularly impressed last Friday was the introduction of Strads Agans, an open source code that you can use to build and operate AI agents in several lines of code. It can scalance from simple to comprehensive cases of use, included local development and production. By default, Amazon Bedrock used as a model provider, but many others are supported, included Ollama (to operate locally models), anthropic, Lama API and LEPLITM (to provide a uniform interface for other providers). With the strands you can use any Python function as a tool for your agent with @tool Decorate. Strads provides many examples of file manipulation tools, API requirements, and APS API interaction. You can also choose from thousands of published model contextual protocol servers, including this set of specialized MCP servers to help you make the most of AWS. Several teams in AWS are already using Strads for its AI agents in production, including Amazon Q Developer, AWS Glue and VPC Analyzer. Read it all in Clare’s post.

Start of Last Week
Here are the next starts that captivated me:

  • AWS Transform for .NET, the first AI agency to modernize .NET applications compared to the preview, we have added new skills to support private Nuget packages, transfer model-view-controller (MVC) to ASP .NET Core display Razor Award.
  • Accelerate the modernization of Mainframe and VMware with AWS Transform-to Automation, Planning and Transformation both Mainframe and VMware Workload to cloud architectures, which makes the process more efficient.
  • Amazon Bedrock Guardrails now supports the inference railing between the region-Amazon Configurails Configurable guarantees in invoking any model includes those hosted in the Amazon bedrock, hosted and third party models outside the subsoil using the APPEGUARDRAIL APIs to standardize privacy. With this new ability you consist of throughput and increased resistance during the period of top demand.
  • Amazon VPC adds CloudTrail logging for VPC resources created by default – now at the time of creating or eraseing VPC you can display events that start creating or deleting starting resources, such as a network access control group (ACL) and a road table. This provides an improved visibility of VPC resources and can help you in audit and management.
  • The AWS EC2 now supports ENA Tay for your network interface – Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) are key components of elastic network interfaces (ENIS) that help to efficiently control network traffic by leveling and recipe data across available available. This flexible assignment of the tail ENA maximum use of PCPu through optimized resource distribution. Multiple -intensive applications can be assigned more tail and CPU -intensive applications can work with a smaller number of tail.
  • New instances AMAZON EC2 P6-B200 driven GPU NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to speed up innovation AI-these are particularly suitable for extensive distributed AI training and inspiration for endowment models (FMS) such as reinforcement, mortgage, mortgage, mortgage and mortgage and mortgage and mortgage and mortgage, And the principle, it is such as learning, and treatment, and nursing, and the principle, and is that learning about learning, and resistance, and is that learning about learning, and needs to be learned about learning, and inflection and inference and intensive computational and inclusion such as learning such as learning such as learning such as learning. is learning. Modeling.
  • The AWS control tower is an account level for the basic Apis-nine, you can use the basic status to display registration for your accounts and use the drift status to identify, where the basic account configurations and organizational units are (or) out of synchronization.
  • Simplify the integration of the events APSYNC with Powertools Pro AWS Lambda – Powertools Pro AWS is a developer tool set that included observability, dose processing, integration of Systems Manager AWS Systems Manager, Idempotence, Amazon Cloudch metrics. Powertools for AWS now appsync events through a new resolver support, available in Python, typescript and .NET.
  • Accelerate CI/CD pipes using the new AWS Codebuild Docker Server – you can now provide a fully managed Docker server that reduces waiting times, increases overall efficiency and can hang the persistent cache across reports.
  • AWS CodePipeline now supports AWS Lambda deployment with operations – to publish Lambda functions updates users of linear or canary deployment formulas.
  • Amazon Cognito now supports the OIDC prompt parameter – to choose whether users should reappear (maintain their existing verified sessions) or have a quiet check in the verification state.

Another update
Here are several other projects, blog posts and news that you could consider interesting:

  • Ensuring the Amazon S3 URL for applications without servers without servers – focusing on the security impact on the use of URLs with Amazon S3, explanation of the mitigation steps that developers can do to improving their S3 systems, and AWS Lambda, which provided recommendations.

  • Starting Genai Inference with AWS Graviton and Arcee AI models – while large language models (LLM) are capable of a wide range of tasks, they require computing resources to support hundreds of billions and sometimes trillion parameters. On the other hand, small language models (SLM) usually have a range of 3 to 15 billion parameters and can provide centers more efficiently. In this post we share how to optimize the workload of SLM using instances based on AWS Graviton.
