Generally Available

AWS shipped Lambda MicroVMs, Firecracker-based sandboxes that snap back to life in milliseconds, and AJ cannot figure out who they're actually for. The pricing charges you two to three times more than it charges AWS' own services built on top of it, which is a choice. Matthew explained why CloudFormation Express Mode breaks a fundamental contract CFN has held since day one: it reports a stack as done before the resources are actually available, and disables rollback by default. Danielle brought actual good news: Cloudflare's temporary accounts let agents deploy and test without ever touching your credentials. Chris covered AWS WAF's new AI traffic monetization. Publishers can now charge crawlers per request instead of just blocking them. AJ called it too little too late. And Gunnar made the case that Microsoft and AWS launching billion-dollar forward-deployed engineering programs is basically an admission that enterprise AI adoption is stuck and the tools don't work without hand-holding.
