Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has a very specific vibe: it’s the retail equivalent of spring cleaning, except instead of tossing old cables you buy new ones at 30 percent off because your old ones are “probably fine” but also “definitely a fire hazard.” The Verge just published a timely roundup titled “The best deals to…
AWS Sustainability Console Launch: Programmatic Scope 1–3 Emissions Reporting Comes of Age
AWS just did something that makes sustainability teams, FinOps folks, and cloud platform engineers all nod at the same dashboard—possibly for the first time since someone tried to label an EC2 rightsizing project as “a climate initiative.” On March 31, 2026, Amazon Web Services introduced the AWS Sustainability console, a standalone place to view and…

OPENFOAM on AWS Without the Usual Pain: Inside Yobitel’s HPC Enterprise Solution (GPU/CPU, MPI, DCV, and PETSc)
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has a reputation: it’s the place where engineering ambition goes to fight with reality, physics, and sometimes a licensing server that only works on alternate Tuesdays.

OPENFOAM on AWS Without the Usual Pain: Inside Yobitel’s HPC Enterprise Solution (GPU + CPU Editions, DCV Remote Desktop, MPI, and PETSc)
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has a reputation: powerful, indispensable, and occasionally inclined to ruin your weekend with a missing library, a cryptic MPI error, or a mesh that looked fine until it met a turbulence model.

AWS Weekly Roundup (Jan 26, 2026): EC2 G7e with NVIDIA Blackwell, Corretto security updates, and the quiet platform tweaks that matter
AWS has a particular talent for launching something that sounds like a minor alphabet soup update (“G7e is now generally available”) and then watching half the internet quietly reorder its infrastructure roadmap. In the AWS Weekly Roundup: Amazon EC2 G7e instances with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs (January 26, 2026), AWS recaps a cluster of changes that—taken…
