Key trends in AWS

  • AWS has launched six new regions and over 24 availability zones (AZs) globally in the last two years, bringing the number of operational regions to 33 and 105 AZs as of mid-2025. Key expansions include Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand, Spain, Canada (Calgary), and Israel, supporting low-latency delivery, data sovereignty, and compliance requirements in emerging and regulated markets.

  • Released the public preview of Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS). Previously, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) workloads ran on VMware Cloud on AWS, with limited integration and separate tools to manage compute, storage, and networking. Now, Amazon EVS enables users to run VCF natively within Amazon VPCs, improving integration and control.

  • Introduced new Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers for Serverless (Lambda) and Container (ECS/EKS) services. We can now integrate MCP servers into Lambda functions and containerised workloads (ECS/EKS) using native configuration hooks.

  • AWS continues to deliver newer versions of its Graviton chip (AMD-based). Graviton processors, now in their fourth generation (Graviton4), deliver up to 30% better performance and up to 60% lower energy consumption compared to equivalent x86-based instances, helping organisations achieve higher efficiency and sustainability in compute workloads.
  • As of 2025, Amazon Bedrock offers access to 27 foundation models from 9 top AI model providers, including Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama 3, Cohere, and Stability AI.

  • AWS continues its silicon leadership with custom-made chips for AI workloads, including Trainium2 (up to 4x better model training) and Inferentia2 (up to 2x throughput for inference). These chips reduce cost and energy use by up to 50%, accelerating AI workloads while improving sustainability. AWS has also reduced GPU instance pricing by up to 45% with flexible usage options.

  • Strengthens distributed cloud capabilities with Outposts Rack & Servers in countries Clients can run Amazon ECS Anywhere Amazon RDS Systems Manager on Outposts.

  • Unveiled a dedicated Sovereign Cloud for the European Union strengthen data residency regulatory compliance.
