The AWS CLI 2.36.30 reference lists four container-instance health check types. The ECS API Reference lists three. The drain threshold that triggers instance replacement is published in neither.
AWS announced 10 external OIDC identity providers per EKS cluster on 24 August 2026 at no extra charge. The user guide adds a Kubernetes 1.32 floor and a 12 KB ceiling the announcement never mentions.
NVIDIA announced Groq 3 LPX in full production on 24 August 2026 and named Nebius the first cloud to adopt it. Groq's post the same day claims it is among the first. Neither published a date or a price.
Instinct's Terms of Service, revised 20 August 2026, take a perpetual, irrevocable licence over screen captures and keystrokes. Workspace data is carved out, so the same email can fall on both sides.
Lambda full IAM resource-based policies shipped on 25 August 2026 at no extra charge. The launch adds three APIs on a new 2026-07-09 path, keeps the old 20 KB ceiling, and leaves two AWS pages in conflict.
Amazon's 24 August 2026 post credits MySQL 8.4.11 with post-quantum TLS key exchange. The 8.4.11 release notes list no such feature, and RDS MySQL 8.4 is built on AWS-LC rather than OpenSSL 3.5.
The 24 August 2026 launch says Ray on SageMaker HyperPod needs a cluster and the KubeRay operator. The dashboards, IDE attach, Grafana panels and KV cache each need a separate add-on.
Customer managed keys for SageMaker MLflow arrived on 24 August 2026. They cover MLflow Apps in 16 AWS Regions and no MLflow Tracking Server, which is where most teams still are.
Sentence Transformers 6.0 published 18 August 2026 adds ColBERT-style late interaction. The gain is about one NDCG point on NanoBEIR. The cost is 311.5 MB where a dense index used 7.5 MB.
TrendForce forecasts server DRAM contract prices up 13-18% QoQ in 3Q26 and SLC NAND up 120-170% across 2H26. Amazon raised device prices by as much as 60%. The published averages hide who actually pays.
TrendForce published two NAND numbers 18 days apart in 2026: 10-15% QoQ for 3Q26, and 70-75% for SLC NAND across 2H26. Budget an industrial BOM off the first and you are wrong by five times.
Google's 24 August 2026 AAOS SDV post says adding a security-sensitive service means updating every VM in the mesh. The AOSP deployment page describes a default policy built to avoid that.
Microsoft's 24 August 2026 GA note says the eBPF host routing rollout respects existing connections. The enable page it links says the opposite and pins a Kubernetes version that died in July 2026.
Azure App Service published its Node 22 LTS retirement on 24 August 2026 and named Node 24 LTS as the target. The Node.js schedule put Node 24 into maintenance 57 days later and ends it in April 2028.
Azure Application Gateway WAF can now return a custom status code and body instead of a bare 403. The announcement claims parity with Front Door, but only Front Door publishes the five permitted codes.
AWS ParallelCluster 3.16.0 shipped on 20 August 2026 and was announced on 24 August as an on-node diagnostics tool. Two deprecations and an NFS port change in the same release will stop clusters.
One Cerebras model page carries two different prices and two speeds for Gemma 4 31B. The GPT-OSS-120B page forks its free-tier limit 6x. Here is what each source says and which to plan against.
Anthropic's 19 August 2026 note retired the ce-user-management beta header, yet the Admin API reference still labels all 8 member and invite endpoints beta. Two header rules, two pagination styles, one API.
The skills-2025-10-02 header is gone, but a Claude Skill written for Claude Code will not run on the API: no network, no package installs, 5 GiB RAM, and no sync between the three surfaces.
Cloudflare says post-quantum key exchange for Email Security is enabled automatically for all customers, but only pre-delivery MX/Inline deployment puts Cloudflare in the SMTP chain at all.
Cloudflare's dashboard now stores your email, login method and last-used profile in the browser, up to 5 per device. The login, SSO and account-security docs it links to never mention the feature.
Cloudflare announced dashboard editing for Cloudflare Tunnel origin parameters on 18 August 2026. Its reference doc is dated 7 May, omits a fourth category, and locks two proxy parameters to config files.
Cloudflare published @cloudflare/vitest-plugin 1.0.0 to npm on 20 August 2026 and called the API unchanged. Outbound request mocking now needs msw 2.14 and a 0.0.1 package with no licence file.
Cloudflare announced five WAF managed rules on 17 August 2026 for release on 24 August in Log mode. Its own override documentation contradicts that: ruleset and tag overrides apply to future rules.
