Building on our previous announcement, AWS Outposts third-party storage integration for data volumes, AWS is expanding its collaboration with third-party storage solutions by introducing support for boot volumes backed by external storage arrays. In this post we show you how to boot Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances on Outposts directly from NetApp on-premise […]

Serverless applications commonly use infrastructure as code (IaC) frameworks to define and manage their cloud resources. Teams choose different IaC tools based on their skills, existing tooling, or compliance needs. As applications grow, the need to shift between IaC formats may arise to adopt new features or align with evolving standards. Developers are rapidly adopting AI-powered […]

This post demonstrates how you can modernize legacy SOAP applications using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda to create bidirectional proxy architectures that enable integration between SOAP and REST systems without disrupting existing business operations. Many organizations today face the challenge of maintaining critical business systems that were built decades ago. These legacy applications power […]

Many organizations implement intelligent document processing pipelines in order to extract meaningful insights from an increasing volume of unstructured content (such as insurance claims, loan applications and more). Traditionally, these pipelines require significant engineering efforts, as the implementation often involves using several machine learning (ML) models and orchestrating complex workflows. As organizations integrate these pipelines […]

Welcome to the 29th edition of the AWS Serverless ICYMI (in case you missed it) quarterly recap. At the end of a quarter, we share the most recent product launches, feature enhancements, blog posts, videos, live streams, and other interesting things that you might have missed! In case you missed our last ICYMI, check out […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Serverless Development Platforms, Q2 2025, achieving the highest ranking in both the Current Offering and Strategy categories.

AWS Lambda now provides native support for Apache Avro and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) formatted events with Apache Kafka event source mapping (ESM) when using Provisioned Mode. The support allows you to validate your schema with popular schema registries. This allows you to use and filter the more efficient binary event formats and share data using […]

As you move your generative AI implementations from prototype to production, you may discover the need to run foundation models (FMs) on-premises or at the edge to address data residency, information security (InfoSec) policy, or low latency requirements. To address users’ data residency, latency, and InfoSec needs, this post provides guidance on deploying generative AI FMs into AWS Local Zones and AWS Outposts.

Event-driven architectures with message brokers need careful attention to security best practices. Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ combined with AWS Lambda enables serverless event processing. However, implementing defense in depth and least privilege principles necessitates a clear understanding of networking requirements. This is particularly important when working with different subnet types and their impact on service […]

AWS announced that Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) has achieved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-3 Level 1 validation of our cryptographic modules, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to providing secure, compliant operating system options for regulated workloads. FIPS certified modules are particularly important for US and Canadian government workloads, healthcare applications requiring HIPAA […]
