Users can choose between automated and manual modes for greater control over video composition.
The AWS Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region has officially launched, featuring three Availability Zones and enabling local data residency to improve service delivery for New Zealand customers. With a NZD $7.5 billion investment, this development is expected to boost the local economy significantly and enhance cloud capabilities, including support for generative AI and sustainability initiatives. Organizations like MATTR and Sharesies are already leveraging the new infrastructure for innovation and operational efficiency.
AWS has introduced Kiro, an "agentic IDE" designed to improve code quality by generating specifications in the form of user stories rather than directly producing code. Built on the open-source Code OSS editor, Kiro leverages generative AI to assist developers by creating production-ready specs and automating code reviews, while also addressing the issues associated with vibe coding. The tool is currently in preview and will be offered at a subscription price of $19.99 per month.
