Amazon SageMaker AI now offers instance preference lists for training and processing jobs. Specify an ordered list of up to five instance types, and SageMaker AI automatically launches on the first type with available capacity, eliminating manual retry loops and capacity-watching scripts.
Getting access to the right GPUs when you need them is one of the biggest challenges in training or customizing AI models at scale. During peak demand periods, your preferred GPU may not be immediately available – and when your job is tied to one specific GPU configuration, the only option is to wait or manually try alternatives. This slows down experimentation and pulls engineering focus away from model development. What if you could submit a single job with a list of suitable GPU options and…

ICYMI: What landed for AI builders in September 2026
A monthly recap of the latest Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Strands updates from September 2026: broader model choice, faster serverless agents with built-in evaluation, and automated knowledge base syncing with native enterprise connectors.
How Postman runs Agent Mode for 40 million developers on Amazon Bedrock
Building an AI agent that works in a demo is a different problem from running one for 40 million developers. Postman and AWS share the architectural patterns behind Agent Mode: controlling tool sprawl, exposing schema-based reads, and treating context as the real bottleneck, plus how it runs on Amazon Bedrock at scale.
Pay-per-inference for AI agents: How BlockRun and Incarna use Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments gives AI agents a managed way to pay for services on demand, with spending limits enforced by the infrastructure. See how Incarna's agents pay BlockRun for model inference one request at a time over x402, cutting the work of adding x402 payment support from months to days.
Share GPU clusters across teams with isolation and fairness using Amazon SageMaker HyperPod
A reference architecture for securely sharing one Amazon SageMaker HyperPod EKS cluster across multiple teams, using AWS IAM Identity Center for authentication, per-team SageMaker Domains and Kubernetes namespaces for isolation, HyperPod Task Governance for fairness, and namespace-level cost allocation for chargeback.
