Hareesh Iyer shared thisEvery year at AWS re:Invent, there’s one session I look forward to more than anything else: Werner Vogels' keynote. And yesterday’s talk reminded me exactly why. It was classic Werner—an hour and sixteen minutes of pure, nerdy, builder-focused insights delivered by one of the best tech storytellers out there. He talked about the human side of the AI revolution and shared his perspective on how builders can adapt, evolve, and lead through this AI wave. Werner also announced that this would be his last re:Invent keynote. I genuinely hope he reconsiders. His perspective has shaped so many of us in the builder community, and it’s hard to imagine re:Invent without him on that stage. https://lnkd.in/gBnPmgB7AWS re:Invent 2025 - Keynote with Dr. Werner VogelsAWS re:Invent 2025 - Keynote with Dr. Werner Vogels

Hareesh Iyer shared thisAs organizations explore generative AI use cases, teams need secure, short-lived environments to experiment safely without impacting production systems. Innovation Sandbox (ISB) is an open-source AWS solution that automates the creation and lifecycle management of temporary sandbox accounts. It enables customers to set limits on budget and duration, and apply security and governance policies consistently. Here are some key resources: - Implementation guide: https://lnkd.in/eQn8jAeK - Workshop: https://lnkd.in/eC8cPgsN - Source code: https://lnkd.in/eC-WUZWJGitHub - aws-solutions/innovation-sandbox-on-aws: Innovation Sandbox on AWS enables cloud administrators to automate the management of temporary sandbox environments by implementing service control policies, spend controls, and account recycling mechanisms.GitHub - aws-solutions/innovation-sandbox-on-aws: Innovation Sandbox on AWS enables cloud administrators to automate the management of temporary sandbox environments by implementing service control policies, spend controls, and account recycling mechanisms.

Hareesh Iyer shared thisI recently worked with a retailer facing a common challenge: they needed accurate forecasts for sales, inventory, staffing, web traffic, and more—but their data science team was just two people, making it impossible to build and maintain custom models for each use case. This is where modern time series forecasting models like Chronos-Bolt, available on Amazon Bedrock Marketplace, can help. Chronos-Bolt is built on language model architectures and pre-trained on a vast mix of real and synthetic time series data from diverse domains. This allows it to generalize across different datasets and deliver zero-shot forecasting—meaning it can provide accurate predictions without extensive retraining or customization. If you’re interested in how foundation models like Chronos-Bolt can streamline time series forecasting, check out my notes here: https://lnkd.in/eDV_9Q_2 #aws #forecasting #bedrockTime Series Forecasting using Chronos-Bolt FoundatiTime Series Forecasting using Chronos-Bolt Foundati

Hareesh Iyer shared this"Amazon Q integration with QuickSight is great, and I love the Q&A experience and dynamic visualizations. However, my datasets include data from multiple customers, and I want to make sure that Amazon Q does not inadvertently share other customers' data" - This was a question raised by one of my customers. I wrote a post based on the guidance I provided to them. If you have multi-tenant datasets and are exploring Amazon Q in QuickSight, you may find this useful. https://lnkd.in/ew5cKxbd #AWS #QuickSight #AmazonQImplementing Secure, Multi-Tenant Q&A Dashboards with Amazon Q in QuickSightImplementing Secure, Multi-Tenant Q&A Dashboards with Amazon Q in QuickSight

Hareesh Iyer liked thisHareesh Iyer liked thisTruly grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community. Yesterday, I had the privilege of volunteering at Atlanta Mission - My Sister’s House alongside a few friends. My Sister’s House does incredible work providing shelter and meals for women and children experiencing homelessness. We spent our time organizing their pantry and serving meals—a small gesture, but a deeply humbling and inspiring experience. It was a powerful reminder of how much of an impact we can make when we come together to support those in need. A huge thank you to Devi Kyanam for initiating this and bringing us all together for such a meaningful cause. Thank you Raju S. for joining us.

Hareesh Iyer liked thisHareesh Iyer liked this😅 The millennial immigrant life in Silicon Valley can be brutal... And it’s not for the reasons you think. I’m not going anywhere near the sad geopolitical situation. That’s for another day. But... You wake up in the morning and see news about 19 year old founders on the street next to you building billion dollar companies. Who knows how true any of it is, but it still hurts. Meanwhile, you’re sitting there slogging at your job, your manager is acting unhinged, and your entire company is discussing how to automate itself. So you decide to get coffee to escape the nonsense for a bit. At the coffee shop, you overhear a VC saying, “This is the greatest time in history to build. This is the company of a lifetime moment.” Then come the usual words. Claude Code. OpenClaw. Agents. Context Graphs. Data. AI native. Automation. Distribution. Moat... words that give you an anxiety attack these days. Anyway, now you’re slightly pumped. You hate your job anyway, so you start thinking, maybe this is it. Maybe I should leave and go all in. What happens, happens. Then your parents call from back home. They say everyone there thinks the US is collapsing and ask if everything is okay. Suddenly, you’re not thinking about your startup idea anymore. You’re thinking, why am I even here while my parents are getting older and I barely get to spend time with them? Maybe I should just go back. Maybe I should leave this anxious place. Maybe one life shouldn’t be measured in quarterly goals and headlines, while the things that actually matter quietly slip further away. Then you get back to work. It’s evening. You’ve parent duties. You take your kids to class and realize, hmm, they probably won’t want to move back because they’re used to life here. So going back may not be that simple either. Later, you go to an AI meetup. Everyone there seems to be building in AI, casually dropping fancy terms, and somehow already figuring it out while you've barely scratched the surface. Meanwhile, you still need to prepare for your manager 1:1 tomorrow and finish some late night work. So you get dinner. Stop thinking. Go back to the grind. And repeat. 😆

Autonomous software is moving from experiment to production — and faster than many teams expected. Coding LLMs, orchestration platforms, and event-driven architectures are changing how work gets done. Over 60% of companies are adopting autonomous software to boost efficiency, and that shift forces a rethink of architecture, ops and risk management. Gartner and McKinsey have flagged this as a structural change, not just a tooling upgrade. - Architecture: Treat autonomy as a platform service, not a point tool. Design for observable control loops, clear APIs, and pluggable decision models so you can swap or tune components without a forklift upgrade. - Scale and cost: Autonomous agents amplify small inefficiencies quickly. Plan for dynamic resource consumption and chargeback models that make behavior visible — otherwise your cloud bill becomes the loudest signal in the room. - Security and compliance: Decisions automated at scale require policy-as-code and runtime guardrails. Combine static policy checks with continuous monitoring; one without the other creates blind spots. - Governance and accountability: Who owns a machine-made decision? Define ownership boundaries early — product, platform, or legal — and instrument audit trails that are human-readable. - Operations and resilience: Expect more novel failure modes. Build recovery patterns and chaos tests for autonomous behaviours the same way you test for hardware faults. Most teams focus on accuracy metrics and forget that autonomy trades predictability for speed. The paradox: faster decision loops improve throughput but raise coupling, making rollout strategy a core architectural concern. How are you balancing control, speed, and cost in your autonomous stacks? Share a constraint you're wrestling with or a pattern that worked. Follow for more such content.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) hiking prices on EC2 Capacity Blocks is less about GPUs and more about certainty. A sharp and telling story by Nidhi Singal Jain in Network World. Thanks for the opportunity to contribute insights. The link to the story is attached, and for deeper analysis, you can head over to greyhoundresearch.com. Here’s how we at Greyhound Research see it. What used to be a niche option has quietly become essential. EC2 Capacity Blocks are not where enterprises spend most of their GPU budget, but they are where they go when failure is not an option. Most training still runs on long-term commitments or on-demand capacity. But when a model retrain is tied to a product launch, a regulatory cycle, or a revenue forecast, certainty matters more than saving a few percentage points. That is why these blocks are increasingly treated like insurance. You may not need them every day, but when everything has to run in a specific window, you need to know the GPUs will actually be there. AI work is no longer experimental. It is tied to business calendars. Miss the window, and you miss the outcome. The price hike itself is logical. AWS is not charging for raw compute. It is charging for predictability. Capacity Blocks sit inside tightly engineered UltraClusters, and holding that space open has real opportunity cost in a constrained market. Guaranteed access is now a premium feature. Other clouds are doing the same thing in different ways. Google uses scheduled reservations. Azure relies on regional capacity holds and long-term commitments. Pricing pressure does not always show up as a visible hike. Sometimes it shows up as quotas, approvals, or long waits. The common shift is this: availability is no longer assumed. For enterprises, this changes behaviour. CIOs are becoming far more deliberate about which workloads deserve guaranteed capacity and which can wait. Critical retraining gets booked. Experiments get pushed elsewhere. Idle time suddenly hurts when capacity is reserved and expensive. No one is abandoning AWS over this. But many are hedging. Core workloads stay put, while smaller jobs get tested across clouds. Not an exodus. A pressure release valve. The bigger change is mental. CIOs are no longer starting with “what does a GPU cost per hour”. They are starting with “Can I get it when I need it?” For 2026 and beyond, certainty has become the real currency of AI infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gCxZDZbr #GreyhoundStandpoint #AWS #AIInfrastructure #GPUs #EnterpriseAI #CloudStrategy #CIO
