Amazon Quick now connects directly to Microsoft Outlook, allowing users to summarize threads, draft contextual replies, manage messages, and schedule meetings without leaving the mailbox. The extension can also trigger broader workflows, but its ability to take actions makes permissions, data handling, and response verification important considerations for IT teams.

AWS has published an enterprise deployment pattern that routes OpenAI ChatGPT Codex through LiteLLM on Amazon ECS and Amazon Bedrock, giving teams centralized model access, budgets, rate limits, and usage visibility. The important detail is that Codex still runs its task loop and approved tools on the developer’s workstation; only model requests pass through the AWS-hosted gateway.

AWS has expanded Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) to 22 regions and doubled the supported environment size to 32 hosts, giving organizations a broader path for moving VMware workloads out of aging data centers. The service now supports VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 and 9.1 on Amazon EC2 bare-metal infrastructure, including a lift-and-shift VCF-to-VCF migration model that preserves existing VMware operations.

Azure Multicloud Interconnect for AWS is now generally available, expanding the service from a four-region preview capped at 1 Gbps to connections up to 100 Gbps. Microsoft and AWS are presenting the release as a production-ready way to connect private workloads across both clouds without manually building and maintaining the underlying network.

Microsoft and AWS have launched matching preview services for private connectivity between Azure and AWS, replacing a traditionally complex collection of circuits, routers, and routing sessions with a managed intercloud link. The service is available now in four regions at up to 1 Gbps per connection, while Microsoft plans to support connections of up to 100 Gbps when it reaches general availability.

AWS has opened AWS Interconnect — multicloud to Microsoft Azure customers in public preview, giving them an on-demand way to connect private workloads across the two clouds without assembling and operating a custom network. The service is initially limited to four regions, but AWS says it will expand availability.

AWS has generally released its Graviton5-powered R9g and R9gd memory-optimized EC2 instances, promising up to 25% more compute performance than the previous R8g generation. The new instances target databases, caches, analytics, web applications, and containerized services, while adding faster memory, expanded bandwidth, and a Nitro Isolation Engine backed by formal verification.

OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna models are now generally available through Amazon Bedrock in both AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West), bringing advanced AI workloads to AWS’s isolated government cloud regions. The release combines a choice between balanced and fast inference with a one-million-token context window, 90% discounted prompt caching, and access through Bedrock’s standard tooling.

Truffle Security has found that 88% of 10,616 publicly exposed AWS access-key pairs still authenticate, including 526 root keys and 242 IAM users with AdministratorAccess. The credentials were found across public code, Docker images, CI logs, package registries, and Hugging Face datasets, turning years-old leaks into a current account-takeover risk.

AWS has patched a flaw in seven AWS SDKs that could turn an unvalidated region value into a credential-theft mechanism. The most serious exposure affected applications and EKS workloads using `AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity`, whose redirected request could carry a Kubernetes service-account token to an attacker-controlled server and lead to live AWS credentials.
