- Platform/SRE — Plan: GA capability that can cut cold-start latency up to 70% for large Lambda container workloads; evaluate adding SOCI index creation to ECR push workflows for any function images over a few hundred MB this quarter.
- CI/CD — Learn: Adopting SOCI requires a new pipeline step (generate SOCI index, push a second tagged manifest to ECR), but it is fully opt-in with no deadline — worth noting as a future build-pipeline enhancement if cold starts are a pain point.

- Platform/SRE — Learn: Lambda MicroVMs (GA, VM-level isolation with state preservation) is now available in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and Spain — relevant if you’re architecting isolated code-execution environments for users in those regions, but no action required unless you have a workload targeting those geos.

- Platform/SRE — Plan: This GA capability changes how serverless web apps can be architected on AWS — Lambda Web Functions can now sit behind CloudFront for edge TLS, caching, DDoS protection, and WAF, with OAC locking down direct access. Worth evaluating for teams running Lambda-based web workloads this quarter.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: New AWS capability that shifts the serverless-plus-CDN architecture picture — Lambda Web Functions are now a first-class CloudFront origin — but no pricing change, licensing impact, or forced migration means no decision is pending.
- Platform/SRE — Learn: Newly GA OAuth support for Lambda Kafka ESM unblocks regulated-industry workloads that couldn’t use SASL/PLAIN or mTLS; worth noting if the team runs Kafka clusters consumed by Lambda, but no existing configuration needs to change.

- Platform/SRE — Plan: This GA capability removes a key architectural constraint that pushed long-running workloads off Lambda toward ECS/Batch/Step Functions; evaluate whether existing workarounds in the platform’s serverless stack can be simplified this quarter.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: The 6x timeout increase changes the serverless vs. dedicated-compute trade-off for batch and AI inference workloads, worth factoring into the next platform strategy review, but no urgent decision is required.
- Platform/SRE — Learn: AWS’s new preview model lets platform teams validate Lambda workloads against upcoming runtimes before GA; pre-GA and explicitly unsupported for production, so evaluate only in non-critical environments.
- CI/CD — Learn: Notable design detail: preview runtimes use the same identifier as the eventual GA release, so Lambda functions automatically graduate with no pipeline or IaC changes required — worth factoring into future Lambda deployment workflows once GA.

- Platform/SRE — Plan: If you run Lambda durable functions in regulated industries, schedule adoption of CMK encryption to meet data governance requirements — no deadline, but this is a concrete security posture change worth queuing this quarter.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: Lambda durable functions now offers CMK support, closing a compliance gap for financial services and healthcare workloads; relevant context if evaluating serverless for regulated data.
