📅 - AWS Acquires DuckLabs Without Buying Open-Source DuckDB - Amazon has agreed to acquire Amsterdam-based DuckLabs, bringing the core engineering team behind DuckDB into AWS while leaving the open-source database outside the transaction. The deal gives Amazon direct access to the developers steering one of analytics' fastest-growing projects, without ownership of the code, license or nonprofit foundation that governs its future technical direction and governance model.
Financial terms were not disclosed. Amazon said the transaction is expected to close shortly, subject to customary conditions, while DuckLabs said it expects to become an AWS subsidiary in early September. Co-founders Hannes Mühleisen and Mark Raasveldt will remain in Amsterdam and [...]
📅 - Iran Claims Missile Strike on AWS Bahrain Data Center Site - Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has struck Amazon Web Services infrastructure in Bahrain with cruise missiles, claiming the attack destroyed a key data center supporting the company's regional cloud operations. The allegation, if independently confirmed, would mark another escalation in the expanding role of commercial digital infrastructure as a target during interstate conflict across the Middle East amid continuing hostilities.
Whether the AWS facility has actually been destroyed remains unclear. The claim originates from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which says the strike was retaliation for recent U.S. military action against the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear [...]
📅 - AI-Native Startups Reach Unicorn Status In Half The Time - Amazon Web Services says AI native startups are reaching billion dollar valuations in 3.5 years, roughly twice as fast as pre generative AI peers, according to a new global study of 3,400 founders and senior leaders. The numbers are striking. They also arrive from a cloud provider with every reason to make AI company formation look cheaper to investors today.
The report, titled Engines of Growth, tries to separate startups that merely use AI from companies built around it from the first line of code. AWS defines the group as companies under five years old with AI at the center of the product, not just in customer support, analytics, or engineering workflows. That is a useful boundary. [...]
📅 - EU Takes Aim At AWS And Azure Cloud Dominance - Brussels has moved to bring Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure under the EU's Digital Markets Act, a step that would drag cloud infrastructure into the bloc's toughest competition regime. The preliminary finding targets the market power behind enterprise compute, AI tooling, and public-sector procurement - and risks another fight with Washington over American technology dominance.
For years, Europe's digital competition machinery has been aimed mostly at the visible consumer internet. Search. App stores. Social platforms. Messaging. Cloud was always there, underneath everything, but harder to treat as a gatekeeping layer because the customers are sophisticated, the contracts are [...]
📅 - AWS Opens Hanoi Local Zone for Low-Latency Cloud Workloads - AWS has launched a Local Zone in Hanoi, giving customers in Vietnam access to selected cloud infrastructure closer to end users while keeping data storage and backups local. The site supports compute, storage, networking, containers and connectivity services, making it one of AWS's early Local Zone deployments in Asia Pacific for latency-sensitive and residency-bound workloads.
The move is small in geographic footprint, but not trivial for enterprise architecture.
AWS Local Zones are not full regions. That matters. They bring a subset of AWS services closer to major cities, using the same APIs, management tools and operating model as AWS Regions. For customers, the appeal is familiarity. [...]
