Introduction Modernizing applications by upgrading language runtimes, migrating SDKs, and refactoring frameworks is important for cloud adoption but can be labor-intensive at scale. Each repository requires analysis of dependencies and transformation needs; custom transformation logic must be built and validated, and changes are often executed sequentially across codebases. If you have hundreds of applications, this […]

Introduction As modern applications evolve into complex ecosystems of serverless functions, microservices, and event-driven architectures, incident response becomes increasingly challenging. DevOps and SRE teams spend hours manually correlating data across observability tools and troubleshooting issues, racing against SLA deadlines. This reactive firefighting drains productivity, degrades reliability, and delays innovation. AWS DevOps Agent provides an opportunity […]

When we launched Amazon Q Developer, our goal was to bring AI assistance directly into the developer workflow. Customers adopted Q Developer across VS Code, JetBrains, Eclipse, and Visual Studio, using it for code generation, debugging, and chat-based guidance. Q Developer proved that AI belongs in the inner loop of software development. Over the past […]

Enterprise modernization has reached an inflection point. You can transform one repository easily. Existing tools, including AWS Transform custom, work well for individual repositories, and the process is understood. But what about 50 repositories? 100? 200? When you need to modernize at enterprise scale, transforming code is only part of the challenge. Coordinating people, capturing […]

This post was co-written with Ross Belmont, Senior Director, Rodrigo Duran, Strategist Director at Salesforce Every minute counts when managing a critical infrastructure incident. Organizations need to quickly identify issues, diagnose root causes, and implement solutions—all while keeping customers informed. AWS DevOps Agent changes this by automating investigation and response, reducing mean time to resolution […]

Introduction AWS Elastic Beanstalk simplifies the process of deploying and scaling web applications. You upload your code, and Elastic Beanstalk handles capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto scaling, and application health monitoring. Elastic Beanstalk now offers AI Analysis to help troubleshoot environment health issues. When you request an analysis, Elastic Beanstalk triggers a script on the […]

This is a guest post written by Jasdeep Singh Bhalla from GoDaddy. AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) Aspects are a powerful mechanism that allows you to apply organization-wide policies, like security rules, tagging standards, and compliance requirements across your entire infrastructure as code. By implementing the Visitor pattern, Aspects can inspect and modify every construct […]

AWS DevOps Agent is your always-available operations teammate that resolves and proactively prevents incidents, optimizes application reliability and performance, and handles on-demand SRE tasks across AWS, multicloud, and on-premises environments. It integrates with your existing observability tools to correlate telemetry, code, and deployment data to reduce Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) and drive operational excellence. […]

Introduction Teams running distributed workloads face a persistent operational challenge: when something breaks, the information needed to resolve it is scattered across logs, deployment pipelines, configuration histories, and third-party monitoring tools. A Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) responding to a 2 AM page must manually correlate telemetry from multiple sources, trace dependencies across services, and form […]

Standardizing CDK construct properties across a large organization requires repetitive manual effort that scales poorly as teams and repositories grow. Development teams working with AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) must apply the same configuration properties across similar resources to meet security, compliance, and operational standards but manual configuration leads to drift, maintenance burden, and […]
