For applications running outside AWS, developers often create IAM users with long-lived credentials which can increase security risks. Instead, learn how to integrate AWS IAM Web Identity Roles with Microsoft Entra ID for centralized user management. This post walks through manual setup steps to register an app in Entra ID and create a role in AWS, and describes an automated architecture to synchronize Entra ID service principals and AWS roles.

Amazon API Gateway is a solution for orchestrating the resources for creating, deploying, and managing APIs at scale. Learn how SmartBear’s SwaggerHub provides a single source of truth for API documentation, and helps teams achieve consistency in their documentation and implementation patterns across a portfolio of APIs. In this post, we show how SwaggerHub pairs with Amazon API Gateway to provide customers with a holistic API solution.

Managing an Apache Kafka deployment can be complex and resource intensive, often requiring additional support. Integrating Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) and CockroachDB in your Kafka deployment enables a plethora of use cases, including real-time analytics, event-driven microservices such as inventory management, and the ability to archive data for audit logging. This post offers a step-by-step guide to integrate Amazon MSK within the CockroachDB platform.

Infor OS provides deep integration capabilities and includes Intelligent Open Network (ION), which is an interoperability and business process management platform designed to integrate applications, processes, people, and data to run your business. Infor ION enables you to easily integrate your Infor and non-Infor enterprise systems, whether they’re on-premises, in the cloud, or both. In this post, we discuss general scenarios and integration patterns while using ION.

The security pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework describes how to take advantage of cloud technologies to protect data, systems, and assets in a way that improves security posture. The security pillar doesn’t just apply to AWS regions and Availability Zones but also to hybrid cloud solutions on premises. In this post, we’ll focus on security using AWS Snowball Edge and how Palo Alto Network’s VM-Series firewall is deployed and configured to secure access to a 5G core application providing cellular 5G connectivity.

Location data is a powerful tool that provides real-time information and predictive analytics. By leveraging location intelligence, companies can make better decisions related to store design, staffing, capital investments, new product development, site selection, and more. Learn how AWS and Foursquare are helping businesses usher in a new era of location intelligence, supplying companies with easy-to-work-with, high quality data through the AWS Data Exchange.

Optimizing environments for cost, however, is often an activity that happens only in response to unexpected growth of charges in the bill. nOps nSwitch makes this process easy, allowing both engineering and finance teams to explore, identify, and automate optimization opportunities. Learn how nOps’ integration with Amazon EventBridge helps customers to pause, reconfigure, and right-size a broad variety of popular AWS services so they can tune for the most optimal cost while maintaining reliability and security.

Event-driven architecture makes building cloud applications easier, especially applications required to create, detect, consume, and react to multiple events in real time. Learn how DXC Technology helped a customer in the energy industry collect and push events from electricity meters using event-driven architecture. When application complexity increases, this event-driven approach provides better scalability, fault tolerance, and faster development.

Salesforce Event Relays enable bidirectional event flows between Salesforce and AWS through Amazon EventBridge. This opens up opportunities to build event-driven, near real-time applications, responding to feedback and outside triggers as they happen. In this post, we use the bidirectional integration to pass events from Salesforce to AWS to send SMS messages, and notify you when a user responds to your message. This is an event-driven architecture, leveraging Custom Platform Events in Salesforce.

In today’s highly complex and dynamic application ecosystem, in addition to a growing virtual workforce, it’s imperative for organizations to have an automated system in place to handle security and compliance. Learn how AWS Security Competency Partner SailPoint has integrated with Amazon EventBridge to solve various use cases for their customers. This platform, SailPoint IdentityNow, provides the benefits of combining SailPoint identity security with Amazon EventBridge to automate security and compliance.
