  Episode 53: AWS re:Think - AWS Summits Recap Part 2

  Jul 23, 202625 min

  In Part 2 of our AWS Summits recap, Geries AbouAyash, AWS Managing Director, North America Solutions Architecture joins Malini and Amit to unpack what the shift to agentic AI really means for how we work. From Amazon Quick 's autonomous agents ("Quick Just Does It") to Kiro on iOS, DevOps Agent, and Transform — and the infrastructure changes powering the emerging agent economy, like S3 Annotations and AWS WAF AI Traffic Monetization — the conversation goes beyond announcements to the bigger question: does AI just help us do more , or help us do more meaningful work? The throughline: AI isn't about replacing people — it's about removing undifferentiated work so builders, engineers, and leaders can spend more time where they create the greatest value. https://kiro.dev/blog/introducing-kiro-for-ios/ https://aws.amazon.com/devops-agent/features/?trk=bdad73ef-9780-48b0-b82e-6d92ad86fcf6&sc_channel=ps https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/04/aws-transform-kiro-vscode/ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/annotations-overview.html https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/06/aws-waf-ai-traffic-monetization/ AWS Hosts: Amit Narayanan & Malini Chatterjee Email Your Feedback: rethinkpodcast@amazon.com

  Episode 52: AWS re:Think - AWS Summits Recap Part 1

  Jul 16, 202625 min

  Three AWS Summits across the US — LA on June 10, NYC on June 17, and Washington DC on June 30–July 1 — brought a wave of announcements that all orbited a single thesis: the age of agentic AI is here, and the winners will be organizations whose agents get smarter with every decision they make. In this episode, AWS Managing Director, North America Solutions Architecture, Geries AbouAyash joins hosts Malini and Amit to break down four major Summit announcements — Graviton5 , AWS Context , AgentCore Harness , and AWS Continuum — spanning next-gen CPUs for agentic workloads, a governed knowledge graph that gives agents organizational memory, production-grade agent deployment, and security at machine speed. The throughline: in the age of Agentic AI, the challenge is no longer building intelligence but operationalizing it — and as foundation models become universally accessible, competitive advantage shifts from who has the model to who can run AI securely, efficiently, and at enterprise scale. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/top-announcements-of-the-aws-summit-in-new-york-2026/ https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/aws-graviton-5-cpu-amazon-ec2 https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/context-intelligence-for-your-data-and-ai-agents-at-scale/ AWS Hosts: Amit Narayanan & Malini Chatterjee Email Your Feedback: rethinkpodcast@amazon.com

  Episode 51: Rethinking Cloud Security in the Age of Zero-Days and AI

  Jun 10, 202642 min

  Modern cloud environments are evolving faster than traditional security models can keep up. In this episode, we sit down with Yarin Pinyan, VP Products at Upwind, to explore how real-time runtime visibility and behavioral baselining are reshaping how organizations detect and respond to threats, especially zero-day and supply chain attacks that emerge before signatures or CVEs exist. We’ll also discuss how AI is enabling a new generation of cloud security, where detection, investigation, and response happen continuously and automatically. The conversation highlights how organizations can reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and protect critical workloads in dynamic, cloud-native environments.

  Episode 50: Rethink Agentic AI: From Shadow Risk to Strategic Value

  Apr 29, 202651 minS0

  <p>AI agents move at machine speed. Your security doesn't. Discover how enterprises are finding shadow agents, measuring agent ROI, and transforming agentic AI from risk to strategic value. Learn from Arti Arora Raman, CEO Founder of Portal 26 and Neil Cohen, VP of Marketing in Portal 26 how Portal26's platform capabilities mitigate enterprise challenges around AI adoption, security, ROI, and governance. </p><p>AI agents operate autonomously at machine speed, making decisions and tool calls without human approval. But most enterprises don't know which agents are running, what they're accessing, or whether they're creating value or risk.</p><p>In...
