## Source excerpt

Happy Monday, and hopefully a good 4 weeks before NixCon week to everyone! Some very good news for us today. AWS has committed the next chapter of its support for the NixOS Foundation & Community: $20,000 per month in AWS credits for the 2026-27 period, nearly a quarter of a million dollars, to help keep cache.nixos.org and releases.nixos.org running. A few years ago, this partnership started as an urgent effort to close an immediate infrastructure funding gap. Today, it has grown into a durable multi-year partnership, with AWS making its largest financial commitment to date. Huge thank you to the AWS Open Source and Open Data teams, the Nix Infra team, and everyone who shared their Nix + AWS stories with us over the last few months (y'all know who you are!). Your experiences genuinely helped us make the case. Some of your stories appeared in the initial thread and a lot more came in via DMs! Looking for Nix + AWS usage stories We still have important work ahead on cost efficiency, resilience, and the long-term sustainability of this infrastructure. Lots of progress has been made by the infra team over the last 12 months! More to come here as well! Steve (Staff Writer @ Flox) has been volunteering with the Infra & AWS teams and will publish a much deeper blog very soon covering the scale, technical work, and what comes next. I don't want to steal his thunder, so more on that shortly. For now: big heart to everyone who helped get this over the line. Lots of Nixy Love, Ron & The Foundation Our incredible Infrastructure Team - @hexa @vcunat @jfly @arianvp @Mic92 @ra33it0 @Infinisil @ryantrinkle @lassulus @ethancedwards @bme 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
