Sep, 2026 : Qualcomm Lands $60B Amazon AI Chip and Networking Deal
📅 - Qualcomm said Amazon Web Services could buy as much as $60 billion of its AI compute silicon and optical networking products under a long-term collaboration, giving the chipmaker a potentially significant route into data-center infrastructure. The agreement spans customized silicon for AI inference and high-bandwidth connectivity, while warrants tie AWS's purchasing activity directly to potential equity ownership in Qualcomm.
The size of the arrangement immediately attracts attention, but the more interesting part is its breadth. Qualcomm is not entering Amazon's infrastructure stack solely as another supplier of compute silicon. The collaboration reaches into the connectivity layer as [...][...

📅 - AWS Targets VMware Storage Migration With NetApp Automation - Amazon Web Services is bringing NetApp storage into AWS Transform, giving enterprises a more automated route for moving VMware workloads and attached block storage into Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. The change folds storage into coordinated migration waves with compute and networking, reducing separate tooling while steering more infrastructure directly toward managed Amazon Web Services storage services.
The change matters because storage has remained one of the more awkward parts of large VMware migrations. Compute can be rehosted relatively quickly. Networking can be mapped and rebuilt. Storage often drags a separate toolchain, replication process, testing cycle, and cutover plan behind [...]
📅 - Amazon Web Services Launches Graviton5 Memory-Optimized EC2s - AWS (Amazon Web Services) has made its memory-optimized Amazon EC2 R9g and R9gd instances generally available, introducing AWS Graviton5 processors to database, cache, analytics, and container workloads. The new instances promise up to 25 percent higher compute performance per vCPU, faster memory, larger caches, and substantially more network and storage bandwidth than their AWS Graviton4-based predecessors for customers.
For infrastructure buyers, the launch is another reminder that Amazon Web Services is steadily turning processor design into a cloud economics weapon. The R9g family is aimed at memory-heavy applications such as databases, in-memory caching, real-time analytics, Linux [...]
📅 - Azure Joins AWS Multicloud Network Model First Built With Google - AWS and Microsoft have opened managed private networking between their clouds, extending a multicloud framework AWS first unveiled with Google Cloud in 2025. The public preview lets enterprises provision AWS – Azure connectivity through cloud tooling for customers, reducing carrier coordination while giving hyperscalers more control over interconnection, resilience, encryption, monitoring, and the economics surrounding cross-cloud traffic.
For enterprises already operating across both platforms, this removes some familiar plumbing. Private AWS – Azure connectivity has typically meant coordinating cloud ports, physical circuits, routing, third-party connectivity providers, monitoring, [...]
📅 - AWS Adds 2M NVIDIA GPUs as AI Data Center Demand Accelerates - NVIDIA's latest earnings and AWS's plan to deploy two million additional GPUs sharpen the infrastructure story for hosting providers, data center operators and cloud buyers. Demand is still surging, but the next bottlenecks are less about chips alone and more about power, cooling, networking, land, capital intensity and whether hyperscalers can keep expensive AI capacity economically utilized.
NVIDIA reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year, with Data Center revenue reaching $89 billion. That was 117% higher than a year earlier. The company expects third-quarter revenue of roughly $108 billion, excluding Data Center compute revenue from [...]
📅 - 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 [...]
