infoq.com by Steef-Jan Wiggers 5 min read Editor score 7/10

TornadoVM 7.3 works alongside mainstream JDKs to offload Java code, manage memory between the Java heap and accelerators, and run compute kernels. It offers Java teams another route to GPU-backed workloads without replacing their JVM.

What
AWS plans to disconnect its European Sovereign Cloud from the Global Network backbone for several hours while the region continues running.
How
With the backbone and a dedicated transfer channel switched off, traffic falls back to the public internet over the region’s own links; brief disruptions may occur as routes converge.
Why it matters
For infrastructure engineers, the test demonstrates a resilience boundary, but the excerpt says it does not establish full sovereignty or remove legal dependencies.
