Chi controlla i server su cui viaggiano i dati di ospedali, pubbliche amministrazioni e imprese? E cosa accadrebbe se un fornitore estero interrompesse uno di questi servizi essenziali?

Sovranità digitale significa avere la libertà di scegliere, innovare e costruire il nostro futuro senza dipendere dalle decisioni di altri.

Ed è proprio su questa sfida che Volt sta facendo la differenza!

Reinier van Lanschot, eurodeputato di Volt, è uno dei due relatori del Parlamento europeo sul Cloud and AI Development Act, il regolamento che punta a rafforzare l'autonomia europea nei servizi cloud e nell'intelligenza artificiale.

L'11 novembre ha presentato, insieme a Diego Solier, proposte concrete per proteggere le infrastrutture essenziali, sostenere le imprese tecnologiche europee e stabilire regole comuni sulla sovranità digitale.

Volt non si limita a chiedere un'Europa più forte e indipendente: contribuisce a scrivere le regole per realizzarla.

È per questo che facciamo politica: per trasformare la nostra visione paneuropea in risultati concreti.

Aiutaci a farlo! 💜🇪🇺

Khronos has launched the Remote Offloading APIs Exploratory Forum.

The question: does the industry need open, high-level APIs that let smart glasses, VR headsets, drones, and other constrained devices offload work to the cloud and edge without locking apps to a proprietary streaming stack?

Co-chaired by Ericsson and Collabora. Free and open to all, no Khronos membership needed.

Introducing AWS Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls

Amazon Web Services today announced the general availability of AWS Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls, a fully managed, serverless, hyper-durable object persistence layer designed specifically for the unique storage needs of people who could have just sent an email.

AWS Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls integrates seamlessly with 47... we mean, a large number of other AWS services, including Amazon Chime, which Amazon would also like to remind you exists.

When asked why the service requires Zoom to be mentioned directly in the product name, an AWS spokesperson explained that the team went through 34 other names, including AWS Persistent Meeting Artifact Lifecycle Manager and Amazon Collaborative Synchronous Video Session Object Durability Hub, before someone suggested they just say what it does.

Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls is available in 19 regions and is priced at a rate that will require you to contact your AWS account representative, who will also try to sell you on Storage Sunbeam for Zoom Calls Enterprise, which is the same thing but the button is slightly larger.

A free tier is available for users who agree to name their firstborn child something that can be reasonably abbreviated as an AWS CLI flag.

Santosh Janardhan is stepping down as Meta's longtime head of infrastructure and co-head of engineering.

Dave Brown, who previously spent 19 years at Amazon focusing on compute, cloud, and AI, is stepping in to lead Meta's infrastructure.

Janardhan will remain through a transition period and move into an advisory role before departing next year.

The leadership change comes as Meta heavily scales up its in…

Introducing AWS Predictive Federation Crayon

Amazon Web Services today announced the general availability of AWS Predictive Federation Crayon, a fully managed, serverless, multi-tenant, hyper-distributed crayon prediction service that uses machine learning to determine which color crayon your enterprise will need before you know you need it.

"We kept hearing from customers that they were spending too much time deciding between Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber," said a Senior Principal Distinguished Engineer at Amazon, who has the word "Crayon" in his actual job title now. "Predictive Federation Crayon solves that, and also integrates with S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, SES, SWF, and seventeen other services you are already paying for but not using."

Predictive Federation Crayon is priced per crayon prediction, per federation event, per region, and also by the gram in certain edge cases that Amazon cannot currently explain but assures customers are "extremely rare unless they are not."

The service is available today in us-east-1, with support for additional regions coming "soon," which at AWS means sometime before 2031.

AWS Predictive Federation Crayon is not related to AWS Crayon, AWS Managed Crayon, Amazon Crayon Hub, or the four internal tools also named Crayon that different teams built independently over the last decade and refuse to consolidate.

Introducing AWS Edge Blueflame, the cloud service that nobody asked for but Amazon built anyway because they needed to use the word "Edge" one more time before the end of the fiscal year.

Edge Blueflame lets you run compute workloads so close to the end user that AWS engineers describe its latency as "technically still physics." The service pairs seamlessly with AWS Wavelength, AWS Outposts, AWS Local Zones, and seventeen other "edge" products that Amazon assures you are all completely different things.

When asked what "Blueflame" refers to, an Amazon spokesperson said it was "a metaphor for speed and intensity at the periphery of the network," and then looked at the floor for a long time.

Edge Blueflame is generally available today in us-east-1 and will reach all other regions sometime before the heat death of the universe, which AWS is also reportedly working on a managed service for.

Introducing AWS Learning Furnace, the only cloud service named specifically to make your IT manager uncomfortable when explaining the quarterly budget to the CFO.

AWS Learning Furnace (ALF) allows developers to feed their poorly documented legacy code directly into a managed incineration pipeline, where machine learning models study it briefly, feel a deep existential sadness, and then politely suggest you start over.

Like most AWS services, the free tier covers approximately four minutes of usage before transitioning to a pricing model that requires a separate certification to understand. A companion service, AWS Learning Furnace Insights, is available to help you comprehend your AWS Learning Furnace bill, and is itself billed separately.

The service is now generally available in us-east-1, with all other regions coming "soon," which is an official AWS unit of time that has no known conversion to the Gregorian calendar.

Introducing Amazon Resilience Snowman, AWS's newest managed service that automatically detects when your infrastructure is melting and does absolutely nothing to stop it, but does send you a very detailed CloudWatch alert about it.

Like all AWS services, Resilience Snowman started as an internal tool that Jeff Bezos's team used exactly once in 2014, and has since expanded to 47... sorry, a large number of features that engineers describe as "mostly orthogonal to your actual problem."

Resilience Snowman integrates natively with Amazon Glacier, which engineers noted was "thematically appropriate," and sits comfortably alongside other AWS services whose names also make complete sense, such as Fargate, Lightsail, and the legendary AWS Snowmobile, which is a truck.

Pricing is calculated per snowflake, billed in six-second increments, with a free tier that covers exactly the amount of usage that is not useful to you.

Resilience Snowman is now generally available in us-east-1, with other regions coming "later this year," a phrase AWS has been using since 2019 regarding several other things.

Introducing Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula

AWS today announced the general availability of Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula, a fully managed, serverless kitchen intelligence layer that allows developers to flip workloads they did not realize were workloads.

"We kept noticing that customers had data sitting on the bottom of their pipelines that was getting stuck," said a Vice President of Something at AWS. "With Illuminated Deep Spatula, we can get underneath that and turn it over, at scale."

The service integrates natively with Amazon Rekognition, AWS Glue, and a product called Amazon Tong, which was announced in 2019 and which nobody has used.

Pricing is based on the number of flips per second, the depth of the spatula insertion, and whether the workload was previously frozen. Customers in the AWS GovCloud region will have access to a version called Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula Secure Compliant Handled Edition, which is the same thing but costs more.

Amazon Illuminated Deep Spatula is available today in all regions except ap-southeast-3, where something is still happening that AWS has not explained.

Introducing Amazon Aqua Tornado

AWS today announced the general availability of Amazon Aqua Tornado, a fully managed, serverless, multi-tenant, cross-regional precipitation orchestration service that spins up water in the cloud.

Amazon Aqua Tornado builds on the foundational work of Amazon Macie, Amazon Glacier, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon Nimbus (discontinued 2019, never explained), continuing AWS's proud tradition of naming enterprise software after weather phenomena and bodies of water until they run out of both.

With Amazon Aqua Tornado, customers can finally achieve what AWS describes as "fluid compute convergence," which the documentation defines across 847 pages without once clarifying what that means. Engineers familiar with AWS Step Functions will feel right at home.

The service is available in us-east-1 and will reach other regions "in the coming months," which AWS defines as anywhere between six weeks and the heat death of the universe.

Pricing is calculated per vortex-hour, with an additional charge for data transferred out of the funnel. A free tier is available, offering enough Aqua Tornado to run a proof of concept that your manager will immediately ask you to scale to production.

Amazon Aqua Tornado is SOC 2 compliant, HIPAA eligible, and, per the press release, "deeply integrated with Amazon S3."

Introducing Amazon Machine Cyclone, or AMC, which AWS leadership assures us is a completely different product from the seventeen other AWS services that do roughly the same thing but were named during different re:Invent conferences by different VPs who did not speak to each other.

Amazon Machine Cyclone joins the proud family of AWS compute services including EC2, ECS, EKS, ECR, EMR, EKS Anywhere, ECS Anywhere, EC2 Anywhere, and whatever they announced last Thursday that everyone has already forgotten about.

Machine Cyclone, according to the press release, "enables customers to orchestrate cyclical machine workloads in a fully managed, serverless, containerized, edge-native, AI-augmented environment," which our team read four times and remains cautiously optimistic about.

The service is available now in us-east-1, with other regions coming "soon," a word that AWS defines internally as anywhere between two weeks and the second term of a future presidential administration.

Pricing is calculated per Cyclone Rotation Unit, or CRU, billed in increments of 100 milliseconds, and your bill will be completely predictable once you complete the associated AWS Certification, which is a separate charge.
