Implement monitoring for Amazon EKS with managed services
In this post, we show you how to implement comprehensive monitoring for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) workloads using AWS managed services. This solution demonstrates building an EKS platform that combines flexible compute options with enterprise-grade observability using AWS native services and OpenTelemetry.
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.
Analyze media content using AWS AI services
Organizations managing large audio and video archives face significant challenges in extracting value from their media content. Consider a radio network with thousands of broadcast hours across multiple stations and the challenges they face to efficiently verify ad placements, identify interview segments, and analyze programming patterns. In this post, we demonstrate how you can automatically transform unstructured media files into searchable, analyzable content.
How Launchpad from Pega enables secure SaaS extensibility with AWS Lambda
In this post, we share how Pegasystems (Pega) built Launchpad, its new SaaS development platform, to solve a core challenge in multi-tenant environments: enabling secure customer customization. By running tenant code in isolated environments with AWS Lambda, Launchpad offers its customers a secure, scalable foundation, eliminating the need for bespoke code customizations.
Transforming Maya’s API management with Amazon API Gateway
