OpenClaw agents can use Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments on AWS to answer HTTP 402 challenges and access paywalled APIs without waiting for a human at every transaction.

Oracle and AWS have made Oracle Exadata Database Service on Exascale Infrastructure generally available through Oracle AI Database@AWS, adding pay-per-use Exadata performance and an expanded long-term migration agreement. The service scales compute and storage independently, starts at 8 ECPUs and 300 GB, and is now offered in 22 AWS Regions.
