Optimizing ODCR usage through AI-powered capacity insights

Efficient resource management is crucial for organizations seeking to optimize cloud costs while making sure of seamless access to compute capacity. Amazon EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations (ODCRs) provide the flexibility to reserve compute capacity within a specific Availability Zone (AZ) for any duration. In this post, we demonstrate how Amazon Bedrock Agents can help organizations gain actionable insights into ODCR usage across their AWS environment.

Dynamically routing requests with Amazon API Gateway routing rules

Today, Amazon API Gateway announces support for dynamic routing rules for custom domain names in all supported AWS Regions. This new capability enables you to route API requests based on HTTP header values, either independently or in combination with URL paths. In this post, you will learn how to use this new capability to implement routing strategies such as API versioning and gradual rollouts without modifying your API endpoints.

Introducing AWS Serverless MCP Server: AI-powered development for modern applications

Today, AWS announces the open-source AWS Serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a tool that combines the power of AI assistance with serverless expertise to enhance how developers build modern applications. The Serverless MCP Server provides contextual guidance specific to serverless development, helping developers make informed decisions about architecture, implementation, and deployment. This post describes how the Serverless MCP Server works with AI coding assistants to streamline serverless development.

Enhancing multi-account activity monitoring with event-driven architectures

Enterprise cloud environments are growing increasingly complex as they scale, with organizations managing hundreds to thousands of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts across multiple business units and AWS Regions. Organizations need efficient ways to collect, transport, and analyze activity data for threat detection and compliance monitoring. In this post, you will learn to use AWS CloudTrail and Amazon EventBridge for real-time cloud activity monitoring and automated response.

Control instance placement using Asset Level Capacity Management for AWS Outposts

AWS Outposts supports self-service capacity management at the entire Outpost level, or at the individual asset level, making it easy for you to view and manage compute capacity on your Outposts. The release of Asset Level Capacity Management allows you to control the configuration of specific assets within your Outpost, which can be useful when planning strategies for EC2 Auto Scaling groups and host-level high availability. This post focuses on how to use Asset Level Capacity Management to perform single-host reconfigurations, and how this can be used with Amazon EC2 placement groups to control instance placement on your Outpost.

Implementing Federation on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ Private Brokers

Currently, the federation plugin on Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ connects to publicly available upstream brokers only. This post explains how to implement federation for Amazon MQ RabbitMQ Private Brokers using Network Load Balancers (NLB). The steps allow private brokers to communicate with each other to create a distributed system.

Powering hybrid workloads with Amazon API Gateway

Amazon API Gateway can provide a single-entry point for all incoming API requests for Hybrid Workloads. It provides a layer of abstraction between the API consumers and the backend services, allowing for centralized control. Routing all traffic through the API Gateway lets builders centrally enforce authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and other security features. This blog post describes how to configure API Gateway as an entry point to your on-premises resources.

Securing Amazon S3 presigned URLs for serverless applications

This blog demonstrates how to leverage Amazon S3 presigned URLs to allow your users to securely upload files to S3 without requiring explicit permissions in the AWS Account. This blog post specifically focuses on the security ramifications of using S3 presigned URLs, and explains mitigation steps that serverless developers can take to improve the security of their systems using S3 presigned URLs.
