📚 AWS

Why it matters: AWS continues to enhance Bedrock with top-tier models like Claude 4, making it a powerful choice for AI developers. Certification in machine learning or data engineering on AWS just became more valuable.

Why it matters: This long-awaited feature streamlines app rollbacks — a massive benefit for DevOps pros using ECS. If you’re studying for an AWS DevOps or Solutions Architect cert, expect questions about this enhancement soon.

Why it matters: As countries demand greater data sovereignty, AWS is enabling regional compliance at scale. Professionals who understand these architectures will have an edge with global enterprises navigating GDPR and other frameworks.

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.

Google Cloud

Why it matters: Google Cloud is quickly becoming a leader in creative AI. These upgrades to video, image, and music generation models make Vertex AI a platform to watch — especially if you’re exploring GCP certifications or want to get into GenAI product development.

Why it matters: Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro has unveiled an experimental feature called “Deep Think,” enhancing the model’s reasoning capabilities by allowing it to consider multiple hypotheses before responding. This advancement is particularly beneficial for complex tasks such as advanced mathematics and coding. Currently, “Deep Think” is available to trusted testers via the Gemini API, with plans for broader availability in the near future.

Why it matters: Data residency and compliance are now key differentiators. Google Cloud’s new offerings reflect a broader push to align cloud operations with local laws — a growing area of opportunity for cloud governance experts.
