Amazon Bedrock now supports 1-hour duration for prompt caching

Amazon Bedrock now supports a 1-hour time-to-live (TTL) option for prompt caching for select Anthropic Claude models. With this update, you can extend the persistence of cached prompt prefixes from the default 5 minutes to 1 hour, improving cost efficiency and performance for long-running agentic workflows and multi-turn conversations.

Previously, cached content remained active for a fixed 5-minute window and refreshed when reused. With the new 1-hour TTL option, you can maintain context for users who interact less frequently, or for complex agents that require more time between steps—such as tool use, retrieval, and orchestration. The 1-hour TTL is also useful for longer sessions and batch processing where you want cached content to persist across extended periods.

1-hour TTL prompt caching is generally available for Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Haiku 4.5, and Claude Opus 4.5 in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where these models are available. The 1-hour cache is billed at a different rate than the standard 5-minute cache. To learn more, refer to the Amazon Bedrock documentation and Amazon Bedrock Pricing page.

Maia 200: El acelerador de IA diseñado para la inferencia

El acelerador de IA de próxima generación de Microsoft da a Azure una ventaja para ejecutar modelos de IA de forma más rápida y rentable.

El chip acelerador de IA Maia 200 con cables y equipo al fondo.

Por: Scott Guthrie, vicepresidente ejecutivo, Cloud + IA.

El acelerador de IA de próxima generación de Microsoft da a Azure una ventaja para ejecutar modelos de IA de forma más rápida y rentable.

Hoy, nos enorgullece presentar Maia 200, un acelerador de inferencia revolucionario diseñado para mejorar de manera importante la economía de la generación de tokens con IA. Maia 200 es una potencia en inferencia de IA: un acelerador construido sobre el proceso de 3nm de TSMC con núcleos tensoriales nativos FP8/FP4, un sistema de memoria rediseñado con 216GB HBM3e a 7 TB/s y 272MB de SRAM integrada, además de motores de movimiento de datos que mantienen los modelos masivos alimentados, rápidos y con una alta utilización. Esto convierte a Maia 200 en el silicio de primera mano más eficiente de cualquier hiperescalador, con tres veces el rendimiento FP4 del Amazon Train de tercera generación y un rendimiento FP8 superior al TPU de séptima generación de Google. Maia 200 es también el sistema de inferencia más eficiente que Microsoft ha desplegado jamás, con un 30% de rendimiento por dólar superior al hardware de última generación de nuestra flota actual.

Maia 200 forma parte de nuestra heterogénea infraestructura de IA y servirá para múltiples modelos, incluidos los últimos modelos GPT-5.2 de OpenAI, para aportar una ventaja de rendimiento por dólar a Microsoft Foundry y Microsoft 365 Copilot. El equipo de Microsoft Superintelligence utilizará Maia 200 para la generación de datos sintéticos y el aprendizaje por refuerzo para mejorar los modelos internos de próxima generación. Para casos de uso de pipelines de datos sintéticos, el diseño único de Maia 200 ayuda a acelerar la velocidad a la que se pueden generar y filtrar datos de alta calidad y específicos de dominio, para alimentar la formación posterior con señales más frescas y específicas.

Maia 200 está desplegado en nuestra región de centros de datos US Central, cerca de Des Moines, Iowa, con la región de centros de datos US West 3 cerca de Phoenix, Arizona, a continuación y futuras regiones que vendrán después. Maia 200 se integra a la perfección con Azure, y presentamos el SDK de Maia con un conjunto completo de herramientas para construir y optimizar modelos para Maia 200. Incluye un conjunto completo de capacidades, incluida la integración con PyTorch, un compilador Triton y una biblioteca optimizada del kernel, así como acceso al lenguaje de programación de bajo nivel de Maia. Esto ofrece a los desarrolladores un control detallado cuando es necesario, al tiempo que facilita el portabilidad de modelos a través de aceleradores de hardware heterogéneos.

Diseñado para la inferencia de IA

Fabricado con el avanzado proceso de 3 nanómetros de TSMC, cada chip Maia 200 contiene más de 140 mil millones de transistores y está adaptado para cargas de trabajo de IA a gran escala, además de ofrecer un rendimiento eficiente por dólar. En ambos aspectos, Maia 200 está diseñado para destacar. Está diseñado para los modelos más recientes que utilizan computación de baja precisión, con cada chip Maia 200 que entrega más de 10 petaFLOPS en precisión de 4 bits (FP4) y más de 5 petaFLOPS de rendimiento de 8 bits (FP8), todo dentro de un envolvente TDP SoC de 750W. En términos prácticos, Maia 200 puede correr sin esfuerzo los modelos más grandes de hoy, con mucho margen para modelos aún más grandes en el futuro.

Primer plano del chip acelerador de IA Maia 200.

Lo crucial es que los FLOPS no son el único ingrediente para una IA más rápida. La alimentación de datos es por igual importante. Maia 200 ataca este cuello de botella con un subsistema de memoria rediseñado. El subsistema de memoria Maia 200 está centrado en tipos de datos de precisión estrecha, un motor DMA especializado, SRAM integrada en el chip y una estructura NoC especializada para el movimiento de datos de alto ancho de banda, aumentando el rendimiento de los tokens.

Una tabla titulada “Capacidad líder en la industria” muestra las especificaciones máximas de Azure Maia 200, AWS Trainium 3 y Google TPU v7.

Sistemas de IA optimizados

A nivel de sistemas, Maia 200 introduce un diseño novedoso de red de dos niveles de escalado construido sobre Ethernet estándar. Una capa de transporte personalizada y una tarjeta de red integrada de manera estrecha desbloquean rendimiento, gran fiabilidad y ventajas de coste significativas sin depender de tejidos propietarios.

Cada acelerador expone:

  • 2,8 TB/s de ancho de banda bidireccional dedicado a escalar
  • Operaciones colectivas predecibles y de alto rendimiento en clústeres de hasta 6.144 aceleradores

Esta arquitectura ofrece un rendimiento escalable para clústeres de inferencia densos mientras reduce el consumo de energía y el costo total de atención al consumo total de energía en toda la flota global de Azure.

Dentro de cada bandeja, cuatro aceleradores Maia están conectados por completo con enlaces directos y no conmutados, para mantener la comunicación de alto ancho de banda local, lo que permite una eficiencia óptima de inferencia. Los mismos protocolos de comunicación se utilizan para redes intra-rack e inter-rack por medio del protocolo de transporte AI-AI, lo que permite una escalabilidad fluida entre nodos, racks y clústeres de aceleradores con saltos mínimos en red. Este tejido unificado simplifica la programación, mejora la flexibilidad de la carga de trabajo y reduce la capacidad bloqueada, lo que mantiene al mismo tiempo un rendimiento y eficiencia de costes consistentes a escala en la nube.

Un enfoque de desarrollo nativo en la nube

Un principio fundamental de los programas de desarrollo de silicio de Microsoft es validar la mayor parte posible del sistema de extremo a extremo antes de la disponibilidad final del silicio.

Un sofisticado entorno pre-silicio guio la arquitectura Maia 200 desde sus primeras etapas, para modelar los patrones de cálculo y comunicación de los LLMs con alta fidelidad. Este entorno temprano de co-desarrollo nos permitió optimizar el silicio, las redes y el software de sistema como un todo unificado, mucho antes del primer silicio.

También diseñamos Maia 200 para una disponibilidad rápida y fluida en el centro de datos desde el principio, para construir la validación temprana de algunos de los elementos más complejos del sistema, incluida la red backend y nuestra Unidad de Intercambiador de Calor de Refrigeración líquida de segunda generación, en circuito cerrado. La integración nativa con el plano de control de Azure ofrece seguridad, telemetría, diagnóstico y capacidades de gestión tanto a nivel de chip como de rack, lo que maximiza la fiabilidad y el tiempo de actividad para cargas de trabajo críticas en producción de IA.

Como resultado de estas inversiones, los modelos de IA funcionaban con silicio Maia 200 a los pocos días de la llegada de la primera pieza empaquetada. El tiempo desde el primer silicio hasta el primer despliegue en racks de centros de datos se redujo a menos de la mitad que el de programas de infraestructura de IA comparables. Y este enfoque de extremo a extremo, desde el chip hasta el software y el centro de datos, se traduce de manera directa en una mayor utilización, tiempos de producción más rápidos y mejoras sostenidas en el rendimiento por dólar y por vatio a escala de nube.

Vista del rack Maia 200 y la unidad de enfriamiento HXU.

Regístrense para la vista previa del SDK de Maia

La era de la IA a gran escala apenas comienza, y la infraestructura definirá lo que es posible. Nuestro programa acelerador de IA Maia está diseñado para ser multigeneracional. A medida que desplegamos Maia 200 en toda nuestra infraestructura global, ya hemos comenzado a diseñar para las futuras generaciones y esperamos que cada generación establezca de manera continua nuevos estándares para lo que es posible y ofrezca un rendimiento y eficiencia cada vez mejores para las cargas de trabajo de IA más importantes.

Hoy invitamos a desarrolladores, startups de IA y académicos a comenzar a explorar la optimización temprana de modelos y cargas de trabajo con el nuevo kit de desarrollo de software (SDK, por sus siglas en inglés) Maia 200. El SDK incluye un compilador Triton, soporte para PyTorch, programación de bajo nivel en NPL y un simulador Maia y calculadora de costes para optimizar eficiencias más temprano en el ciclo de vida del código.

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports replicas in Oracle multi-tenant configuration

Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports database replicas for instances set up in Oracle multi-tenant configuration. Oracle multi-tenant configuration allows customers to host multiple, isolated pluggable databases in a single container database, which allows for cost reduction through consolidation and easier management. With support for replicas in Oracle multi-tenant configuration, customers can now distribute read workloads to a replica to scale workloads, or setup cross-Region replicas. In disaster recovery situations, customers can promote replicas to serve as a new standalone database, or execute a switchover to reverse roles between the primary database and the replica for a quick recovery.

To set up replicas in Oracle multi-tenant configuration, customers can create a replica in either mounted or read-only mode using the AWS management console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK. Once a replica is set up, Amazon RDS for Oracle manages asynchronous physical replication between primary and replica database instances using Oracle Data Guard.

Amazon RDS for Oracle read replicas use Oracle Data Guard. Using mounted mode replicas require an Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE) license, and using read-only mode replicas require additional Oracle Active Data Guard licenses. We recommend customers to consult their Oracle licensing expert to determine Oracle licensing requirements. Refer to RDS for Oracle User Guide for more information, and Amazon RDS for Oracle pricing for available instance configurations, pricing, and region availability.

EC2 Auto Scaling Introduces New Mechanisms for Group Deletion Protection

EC2 Auto Scaling is introducing a new policy condition key autoscaling:ForceDelete. This condition key is used with the DeleteAutoScalingGroup action to control whether the ForceDelete parameter can be used during deletion, which determines if an Auto Scaling group (ASG) can be deleted while it still contains running instances. You can use this condition key in IAM policies to restrict deletion permissions. This provides a safety measure to prevent accidental deletion of ASGs that still have running instances.

Furthermore, EC2 Auto Scaling now offers deletion protection at the group level. The new deletion-protection configuration can be set either when you create your ASGs or update them. This new feature lets you set enhanced controls based on your workload’s criticality, with multiple protection levels available to safeguard against accidental deletions and help maintain application availability.

Combining the autoscaling:ForceDelete condition key with deletion protection at the group level provides a layered defense against unwanted ASG termination by allowing you to both restrict IAM permissions for force-delete operations and set enhanced protection controls directly on critical ASGs.

The features now available in all AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To get started, visit the EC2 Auto Scaling console or refer to our technical documentation for deletion protection and policy condition keys for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.
