Trending Topics 1 month ago 36

Vanguard Group agreed to acquire Altruist in a deal that would make Altruist a standalone business while expanding Vanguard’s reach into the independent RIA custody market. The acquisition is worth approximately $4 billion. The week’s other large M&A announcements also reshuffle dealmaking across defense, cloud data tooling, SAP consulting, and multiple AI-focused companies (including one tied to Nvidia’s open-weight AI push).

Spreading the load: How Salesforce met Multi-AZ HA with SageMaker Inference Components

Amazon Web Services 1 month ago 51

Salesforce used SageMaker Inference Components’ IC Placement controls to deploy Agentforce models with multi-AZ high availability instead of relying on default placement that could create single-AZ or single-instance failures. The approach uses SchedulingConfig with CopyCount=2 for strict 2-AZ support, enforced via MaxImbalance=0 and PlacementStrategy=SPREAD. As a result, model deployments and subsequent scale/update operations preserve balanced copies across Availability Zones, meet a 2-AZ compliance bar, and keep multi-model co-hosting cost efficiency while improving fault isolation.
