Maximizing performance is a key area of focus for all architects. Achieving optimal performance, however, can be challenging in SaaS environments where multi-tenant workloads can make it difficult to efficiently profile and scale your environment. This post dives deep into the challenges, opportunities, and best practices of efficiently managing performance in multi-tenant SaaS environments on AWS. We’ll review these topics through the lens of an example multi-tenant search application.

As customers continually move towards hybrid cloud architectures, it has become increasingly important to address network security requirements for having a centralized security inspection solution between VMware Cloud on AWS and the native AWS environment, on-premises data centers, and the internet. Through this post, learn how to integrate preferred third-party firewall solutions with VMware Cloud on AWS, by leveraging the VMware Transit Connect feature.

Cloud security is the highest priority at AWS, and we work closely with industry-leading partners such as Trend Micro to build security solutions for customers. In this post, we share a malware scanning solution jointly built by Trend Micro and AWS that detects and automates response to malware payload uploaded to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). The solution uses Trend Micro threat intelligence capabilities and AWS Security Hub.

Bitbucket Pipelines, an integrated CI/CD tool within Bitbucket Cloud that enables developers to execute builds right from within Bitbucket, recently introduced an integration with OpenID Connect and AWS. OpenID Connect is an identity layer above the Oauth 2.0 protocol. With this integration, Bitbucket Pipelines users can authenticate with Amazon S3, Amazon CloudFront, and other AWS resources without having to store secret tokens in Bitbucket.

The move to a SaaS delivery model is accompanied by a desire to maximize cost and operational efficiency. This can be especially challenging in a multi-tenant environment where the activity of tenants can be difficult to predict. In this post, AWS experts look into a reference solution that provides an end-to-end view of a functional multi-tenant serverless SaaS environment. The goal is to explore the architecture and design considerations that went into creating this reference solution.

Oracle Database is at the heart of many mission-critical enterprise applications. Moving such applications to AWS offers multiple benefits, including agility, elasticity, and reliability. AWS ISV Partner FlashGrid, when helping Oracle Database customers move to AWS, sees the most success come from simple and inexpensive solutions. Learn how the new Amazon EBS gp3 general purpose volumes and Amazon EC2 R5b instances enable high-performance Oracle Databases.

An important design consideration for cloud-based client VPN service architectures is the choice of authentication mechanism to use for connecting remote users to VPN services.
