Amazon ECS Express Mode adds a simpler deployment path for containerized services on AWS, aiming to reduce the setup work around load balancing, networking, IAM, and scaling. It provisions an HTTPS service on Fargate with built-in autoscaling, canary deployments, and shared infrastructure managed in the customer’s AWS account.
- 7InfoQ·6/30/2026product_launchAWS launches Lambda MicroVMs for isolated execution
AWS introduced Lambda MicroVMs, a serverless compute primitive that runs each user session or AI agent in its own Firecracker virtual machine with hardware-level isolation. The service uses snapshots for fast startup and can preserve state for up to eight hours, though early analysis suggests its minimum cost is significantly higher than Fargate spot pricing.
