Amazon Braket, the quantum computing service from AWS, makes it easy for customers to conduct scientific research and software development with quantum computers. Today, we are excited to announce that Amazon Braket has added support for the new 80-qubit superconducting gate-based quantum processor from Rigetti named Aspen-M-1. With this launch, customers will be able to utilize a multi-chip quantum processor architecture for the first time on Braket. With the new 80-qubit processor, customers can run quantum circuits up to twice the qubit count supported by the previous generation Rigetti device, enabling them to tackle larger problems.

AWS OpsWorks for Configuration Management now supports the new version of Chef Automate for its managed service. Customers benefit from receiving the update automatically during the weekly system maintenance window scheduled individually by each customer.
