April and May have been a true expression of our AWS "Partners Everywhere" strategy-we've had Partner Summits in Singapore, Sydney, Seoul, and Tokyo, with Mumbai just around the corner.   Our AWS partner community is a critical enabler for driving customer innovation and plays a key role in bridging the gap between AI potential and practical implementation, true transformation.   Recently, I had the privilege of spending time with some of our partners in Seoul and Tokyo to talk about real-life, measurable results being delivered for customers today when deep partner expertise, Amazon builders' culture and AI are combined. In Korea, POSCO DX has built an agentic AI development environment on AWS that has slashed engineering drawing creation from a week to half a day and accelerated data analysis by 82x. In Japan, Sony Bank has collaborated with Fujitsu to develop and implement a next-generation core banking system on AWS. By applying generative AI to the development of all functions within the core banking system, Sony Bank aims to revolutionize digital banking and speed up development.    These are just two of many examples of how our partner community is not waiting for permission-they are building, transforming, and showing up for customers in ways that show what is possible when you Think Big and execute with purpose.    Thank you to our teams and AWS Partners across APJ for making our AWS Partner Summits hubs for inspiration. The innovation and ambition evident at all our Partner Summits reminds me once again that the best is yet to come!
