Seekable OCI (SOCI) indexing for Amazon SageMaker AI training and processing jobs takes full container image download off the critical path. SageMaker AI lazy-loads your image to start containers in seconds instead of minutes, with no changes to your job definition. See the benchmarks and how to adopt it.
Every minute your deep learning container image spends downloading is a minute you pay for and a minute your team waits. Container image download is pure overhead: billable job time that produces no model progress. For modern deep learning images, that overhead is several minutes on every single job. Today, we’re excited to announce Seekable OCI (SOCI) indexing for Amazon SageMaker AI Training and Amazon SageMaker AI processing jobs , which takes full container image download off the critical…

Building an Agentic AI Platform on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Stand up a governed, multi-account Agentic AI Platform on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. This post walks through the architecture and an open-source reference blueprint: the operating model, control plane, per-Workstream cells, separate inference and tool gateways, and a CI/CD evaluation pipeline that gates each agent before production.
Distributed training with Ray Train DLCs and EFA on EKS
The Ray Train Deep Learning Container ships the full CUDA-through-EFA stack, so you build no image. This post walks through a reproducible sample that fine-tunes Qwen2.5-1.5B with PyTorch FSDP across eight GPUs on two EFA-enabled g6.12xlarge instances on Amazon EKS, using the container exactly as published.
Accelerating software delivery with agentic QA automation using Amazon Nova Act – Part 3
As QA test automation spreads across an organization, organizing tests and controlling who owns them becomes the real work. Part 3 of the QA Studio series on Amazon Nova Act adds applications that organize tests and report health metrics, plus team-based user management that controls who can see and change what.
