AI agents don't use the cloud like humans do. AWS CEO Matt Garman on rewiring AWS for its newest "users": "Increasingly we're seeing teams that want a cloud that is great to work with agents and not just with people." " We've doubled down on things like starting a database in three seconds and some capabilities that agents are excited about." "Many agents wanna create a database, do a little bit of work, and then have the database go away. You don't really need that database to have five nines of durability." "There are new building blocks that agents are gonna want that we just didn't really need before: compute sandboxes, gateways, agent permissions versus people or service role permissions." " A lot of those are things that we have built and are building and thinking actively about because they are just brand-new building blocks. It's not using the existing building blocks differently." @mattsgarman @RaghuRaghuram
