AWS unveiled new AI agent capabilities, security tools, hardware upgrades, and mobile apps at the 2026 New York Summit.
AWS Security Agent now adds STRIDE-based threat modeling, full repo and PR code scanning with remediation across major Git platforms, and IDE integrations via Kiro power, Claude Code plugin, and MCP — letting developers run security reviews and fix issues without context switching.
AWS Certificate Manager now supports the ACME protocol for public TLS certificates, enabling automated issuance and renewal through any ACMEv2-compatible client on any workload. Administrators get centralized governance, IAM-based access controls, and domain scoping, reducing operational risk as certificate lifetimes shorten.
AWS Summit NYC showcased new AI agent launches including Amazon Quick, AWS Continuum security, DevOps tools, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore updates. AWS launched a Local Zone in Hanoi, Grok 4.3 model on Bedrock, Amazon S3 annotations, faster ECS scaling, and EC2 G7 instances with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 GPUs. Price reductions include Amazon S3 Vectors and AWS Marketplace fees.
Amazon announces general availability of EC2 G7 instances featuring NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and custom Intel Xeon Scalable processors, delivering enhanced AI inference, graphics, and data analytics performance.
NVIDIA introduces DGX Spark to meet enterprise demands for scalable, secure, and manageable AI infrastructure with operational maturity.
Amazon ECS service auto scaling now supports high-resolution (20-second) metrics, enabling faster scaling response times and improved application performance with simpler configuration.
NVIDIA introduces the AI-Q Blueprint, an open source framework for deploying advanced AI agents on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, supporting long-horizon tasks and multi-agent coordination.
AWS announced the preview of the Agentic CX designer for Amazon Connect Customer, enabling no-code AI-powered customer experience design. Other launches include AWS Lambda MicroVMs, EC2 AMI Watermarks, AI-assisted migrations for OpenSearch, and Amazon GuardDuty AI-powered investigations. Additionally, Oracle introduced open governance for MySQL with AWS participation.
AWS CloudFormation introduces Express mode, a new deployment option that speeds up infrastructure deployments by up to four times by completing when resource configuration is applied, without waiting for full stabilization. This benefits iterative development and AI-assisted workflows and is available in all AWS commercial Regions at no extra cost.
Amazon EKS introduces Kubernetes version rollbacks, allowing cluster administrators to reverse upgrades within seven days, reducing risk and downtime during cluster updates.
Amazon EC2 C9g and C9gd instances, powered by AWS Graviton5, are now generally available. They deliver up to 25% better compute performance than previous generation, feature fastest memory in the cloud, and offer local NVMe storage options for demanding workloads.
