In May 2026, we announced an opt-in for updated retry behavior for the AWS SDKs, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), and AWS Tools for PowerShell. Starting November 10, 2026, the updated behavior is the default, and we have removed the opt-in. Availability varies by SDK and tool. See the SDK availability and GitHub issues […]

As many developers use agentic tools to create more code faster than ever before, the code has gotten more complex and they’re taking longer to find and fix software flaws. Helping to address that pressure is a key concern at Google. We know that software development velocity is increasing, as much as 2x for some

With the new unified Gemini experience, enterprises can bring third-party partner capabilities directly in Gemini through standardized connectors (spanning Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent-to-Agent (A2A) runtimes, and REST APIs), alongside emerging declarative skills and plugins. For independent software vendors (ISVs), this unified architecture unlocks a powerful opportunity to embed domain-specialized intelligence, regulated workflows, and live

In highly regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government, security isn’t negotiable. Compliance frameworks require defense in depth strategies where incoming requests are inspected against security policy to confirm they are safe before reaching applications. Organizations typically solve this challenge by implementing centralized ingress proxy fleets: hardened entry points that enforce consistent authentication,
Standard Network Policies limit you to applying policies at the namespace level, but ClusterNetworkPolicy (CNP) lets you apply granular networking policies across an entire cluster. When you use CNP, you can easily scale security and governance policies. Recently, I experimented with this functionality in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and saw the benefits for myself. In

Every healthcare organization is working to deliver great care to more people at a lower cost. However, a general AI model is not enough to solve this challenge. Today, healthcare runs on fragmented data. Patient records, coverage policies, and clinical evidence remain trapped across disconnected EHRs, claims systems, and administrative tools that don’t work together.

Over the past decade, Kubernetes established itself as the standard for orchestrating microservices and containerized applications. Today, we’re witnessing the next major architectural shift in distributed computing: AI workloads moving from isolated research prototypes into large-scale, multi-tenant production fleets. In this post, we’ll walk through the open-source stack that powers this shift and show you
