Modern distributed systems must be resilient to unexpected disruptions to maintain availability, performance, and stability. Chaos engineering helps teams uncover hidden weaknesses by deliberately injecting faults into a system and observing how it recovers. While traditional testing validates expected behavior, chaos engineering tests system resilience during failures. AWS Fault Injection Service (AWS FIS) is a […]

Introduction As the adoption of agentic AI applications continues to grow, ensuring the reliability, performance, and overall observability of these systems becomes increasingly critical. Agentic AI applications, powered by large language models (LLM) and integrated with various data sources and APIs, can quickly become complex, making it challenging to gain visibility into their inner workings […]

Introduction In today’s cloud-centric world, ensuring the resilience of mission-critical applications is paramount. The ability to withstand and recover from unexpected failures, including degradation of cloud provider services, can mean the difference between seamless operation and costly downtime. This is where the powerful combination of AWS Systems Manager (SSM) and AWS Fault Injection Service (AWS […]

AWS customers use AWS CloudTrail Lake to aggregate and analyze their AWS activity for security, operational troubleshooting, and compliance purposes. However, when investigating security incidents or conducting compliance audits, customers often need additional business context beyond the basic event details – like which team or project owns the affected resources, or what where the properties […]

High-performance applications with unlimited throughput capabilities pose significant monitoring challenges, especially when tracking real-time metrics, utilization, and throttling events across distributed database workloads. Near real-time visibility into metrics is crucial for application performance and cost optimization. AWS allows you to seamlessly integrate multiple services to tackle these operational complexities. With Amazon DynamoDB, you can build […]

Enterprise organizations managing multiple AWS accounts face complexity as their cloud infrastructure scales.

Managing hybrid infrastructure across AWS and on-premises environments presents a layer of operational complexity for managing nodes. Some teams use different tools to manage these systems based on the platform they are running on, while others use licensed Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software. Teams can use AWS Systems Manager hybrid activations to manage on-premise […]

The build and rollout of hardened and certified operating systems (OS) is an imperative of any Cloud Operations (CloudOps) or Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) team within an organization. The guideline and security controls to certify the images come from the respective teams within your organization who, in turn, refer to the popular industry wide […]
