An agent-driven synthetic-monitoring solution based on Amazon Nova Act and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore replaces Selenium and Playwright DOM-selector scripts with natural-language actions, reducing each workflow from more than 10 lines of selector code to three lines.
An AWS tutorial shows how to deploy two endpoints using the same vLLM-Omni DLC image on SageMaker AI: a real-time endpoint using FLUX.2-klein-4B for image generation and an asynchronous endpoint using Wan2.1-VACE-1.3B for image-conditioned video generation. A text prompt first produces a PNG, then the image and motion prompt are sent through Amazon S3 to the video endpoint. The generated MP4 is retrieved from S3. The example includes a command-line workflow and an optional Streamlit interface.
An AWS tutorial shows how to deploy Qwen3-TTS on Amazon SageMaker AI using the vLLM-Omni DLC. A bidirectional SageMaker streaming connection sends text in and streams 24 kHz PCM audio chunks out, with a Gradio app for testing.
