Introduction When CI/CD deployment failures occur for GitHub hosted applications,  AWS DevOps Agent reduces the hours that Development and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams typically spend manually investigating across multiple AWS services, logs, and pipeline stages. This process delays critical deployments and impacts software delivery velocity. This is especially true when teams need to correlate data between GitHub commit histories, AWS CodePipeline execution logs, and Amazon

Your most sensitive data—patient records, financial data, classified documents—lives in a private Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) with no internet access, and for good reason. That network isolation is a deliberate security posture, not an oversight. The problem is that your AI agents need to reason over that data, and traditional networking approaches force

Aurora serverless now automatically adds 12 Aurora Capacity Units to its current capacity within a second, and continues scaling to 256 ACUs as your workload grows. In this post, we show how an Aurora serverless cluster responds to a sudden workload spike, and compare its throughput against a provisioned db.r8g.xlarge instance using benchmark data.

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 reaches its end of extended support on July 14, 2026. If you run it on Amazon RDS for SQL Server with user-defined CLR assemblies, you must replace them before you upgrade, because CLR is not supported on SQL Server 2017 and later. This post shows you how to find your CLR dependencies and compares four replacement strategies.

​​​​Organizations are moving beyond single-model AI toward multi-agent architectures. In these systems, agents offload intermediate results to files rather than carrying everything in the prompt, because a large prompt inflates cost and degrades quality. A model’s context window is finite, so files become working memory that persists after a session ends. In multi-agent systems, a

Today, we’re announcing that AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) will discontinue support for email-validated public certificates by September 30, 2027. If you use email validation for your ACM public certificates, you need to migrate to DNS validation before that date. This change aligns with the Certification Authority/Browser (CA/B) Forum’s industry-wide deprecation of email-based domain validation and

Enterprises face an evolving spectrum of threats to their backup data. From ransomware attacks that encrypt production systems and target recovery points, to accidental deletions by well-meaning administrators, to full account compromises that put every resource at risk, organizations can no longer assume that traditional backup approaches will keep their data recoverable. When backup infrastructure

When you build a new application or capability on Amazon Web Services (AWS), you want to focus on what you’re building. Getting a service running almost always begins with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Many AWS services that act on your behalf need an IAM role, an identity the service assumes to access your

Machine learning (ML) models used for inference on Kubernetes are often several gigabytes in size. When these models are embedded in container images, images become oversized and pod scheduling slows. More critically, inference pods are inherently stateful. Model weights, tokenizer files, compiled GPU kernels, and runtime caches must persist across pod restarts, node failures, and

Amazon EKS 1.34 makes the Kubelet Checkpoint API functional, so you can capture a running container’s full state (memory, processes, and network connections) without stopping the workload. This post shows how to deploy an unprivileged checkpoint agent that stores forensic checkpoints in Amazon ECR as OCI images for later analysis.
