Introduction Today, we’re announcing the release of aws-eks-v2 construct, a new alpha version of AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) L2 construct for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This construct represents a significant change in how developers can define and manage their EKS environments using infrastructure as code. While maintaining the powerful capabilities of its predecessor […]

Software runs the world – not just the new software applications built in modern languages and deployed on the most optimized cloud infrastructure, but also legacy software built over years and barely understood by the teams that inherit them. These legacy applications may have snowballed into monolithic blocks or may be fragmented across siloed on-premises […]

Today we’re announcing the general availability (GA) of the Amazon EventBridge Scheduler and Targets Level 2 (L2) constructs in the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) construct library. EventBridge Scheduler is a serverless scheduler that enables users to schedule tasks and events at scale. Prior to the launch of these L2 constructs, developers had to […]

Introduction This post demonstrates how to leverage AWS CloudFormation Lambda Hooks to enforce compliance rules at provisioning time, enabling you to evaluate and validate Lambda function configurations against custom policies before deployment. Often these policies impact the way a software should be built, restricting language versions and runtimes. A great example is applying those policies […]

AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to define, manage, and provision your AWS cloud infrastructure using code. To enhance this process and ensure your infrastructure meets your organization’s standards, AWS offers CloudFormation Hooks. These Hooks are extension points that allow you to invoke custom logic at specific points during CloudFormation stack operations, enabling […]

AWS Lambda recently announced a new code editor based on Code-OSS. Like the previous version, the new editor includes Amazon Q Developer. Amazon Q Developer is a generative AI-powered assistant for software development that can help you build and debug Lambda functions more quickly. In this post, I provide an overview of Amazon Q Developer’s […]

Refactor serverless apps by swapping application code with cloud automation: reduce costs, decouple logic from architecture, and leverage managed services’ native capabilities.

Note: Customers no longer need to manage their own GitHub runners, you can now use AWS CodeBuild for managed GitHub Actions self-hosted runners, which provides ephemeral and scalable runner environment with strong security boundaries and low start up latency. With AWS CodeBuild, you don’t need to maintain your own infrastructure or build scaling logic, as […]

In this blog post, we will explore how to simplify Amazon EKS deployments with GitHub Actions and AWS CodeBuild. In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations are turning to DevOps practices to drive innovation and streamline their software development and infrastructure management processes. One key practice within DevOps is Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), which […]

Introduction Today customers want to reduce manual operations for deploying and maintaining their infrastructure. The recommended method to deploy and manage infrastructure on AWS is to follow Infrastructure-As-Code (IaC) model using tools like AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) or Terraform. One of the critical components in terraform is managing the state file which […]
