AWS has introduced Generative AI Inference Recommendations directly in Amazon SageMaker AI Studio, expanding a capability first released through APIs in April 2026. The visual workflow helps teams select suitable inference configurations by benchmarking combinations of instances, serving containers, and optimization techniques on real GPU infrastructure.

Users choose their workload profile, model, and optimization goal, such as reducing latency, increasing throughput, or lowering cost. SageMaker then returns ranked recommendations based on measured performance metrics, including time to first token, inter-token latency, throughput, and cost.

AWS says teams can reach validated production configurations in hours instead of weeks.

AWS has detailed a multi-agent framework built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to accelerate large-scale enterprise cloud migrations. Developed by AWS Professional Services, the architecture uses four specialized agents for application discovery, infrastructure-as-code generation, migration governance, and post-migration operations.

In an implementation covering more than 300 applications, the framework reduced IaC development from three to four weeks per application to minutes. It uses Strands Agents SDK, AgentCore Gateway, Memory, Identity, Policy, and Observability, with human approval required for production actions.

The framework also integrates AWS DMS and AWS Transform to support database migration and application modernization across the migration lifecycle.
