Amazon Bedrock baseline architecture in an AWS landing zone
In this post, we explore the Amazon Bedrock baseline architecture and how you can secure and control network access to your various Amazon Bedrock capabilities within AWS network services and tools. We discuss key design considerations, such as using Amazon VPC Lattice auth policies, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) endpoints, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to restrict and monitor access to your Amazon Bedrock capabilities.
Build a multi-Region AWS PrivateLink backed service with seamless failover
This post demonstrates how the Issuer Solutions business of Global Payments, as a service provider, implemented cross-Region failover for an AWS PrivateLink backed service exposed to their customers. Their solution enables failover to a secondary Region without customer coordination, reducing Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
How Stellantis streamlines floating license management with serverless orchestration on AWS
In this post, we explore a unique scenario where an ISV, unable to provide a floating license option for cloud usage, worked with Stellantis to develop an alternative solution. This approach, implemented with the ISV’s permission, treats named user licenses as if they were floating, automatically assigning and removing them based on the state of user workbench instances.
Optimizing fleet operations using Amazon SageMaker AI and Amazon Bedrock
In this post, we’ll explore how to maximize the value of dashcam footage through best practices for implementing and managing Computer Vision systems in commercial fleet operations. We’ll demonstrate how to build and deploy edge-based machine learning models that provide real-time alerts for distracted driving behaviors, while effectively collecting, processing, and analyzing footage to train these AI models.
Transforming Maya’s API management with Amazon API Gateway
In this post, you will learn how Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer, Maya, the Philippines’ leading fintech company and digital bank, built an API management platform to address the growing complexities of managing multiple APIs hosted on Amazon API Gateway.
Revolutionizing agricultural knowledge management using a multi-modal LLM: A reference architecture
In this blog post, we introduce a reference architecture that offers an intelligent document digitization solution that converts handwritten notes, scanned documents, and images into editable, searchable, and accessible formats. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude 3 on Amazon Bedrock, the solution uses the sophisticated vision capabilities of LLMs to process a wide range of visual formats, preserving the original formatting while extracting text, tables, and images.
Empower your teams with modern architecture governance
Modern cloud architectures demand a new governance approach. In this post, we show how collaborative architecture oversight can transform team performance through automation, self-service platforms, and distributed decision-making.
Build and operate an effective architecture review board
In this post, we identify the components of an efficient architecture review process, define what an ARB is, and describe how to build and operate an effective enterprise ARB.
Master architecture decision records (ADRs): Best practices for effective decision-making
In this post, you’ll learn how to implement Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) in your organization, based on best practices developed from experience with over 200 ADRs across multiple projects. You’ll also discover practical tips for streamlining architectural decision-making, see real-world examples from projects with teams ranging from 10 to over 100 members, and understand the common challenges in architecture decision-making and how ADRs can help address them.
Pilot light with reserved capacity: How to optimize DR cost using On-Demand Capacity Reservations
In this post, we explore an intermediate strategy between the pilot light and the warm standby strategies: pilot light with reserved capacity. You can use this strategy to reserve compute capacity in a secondary Region while also limiting cost.
