By automating performance testing and including chaos testing, organizations can identify failure scenarios in systems before they develop and cause downtime. Learn how Distributed Load Testing on AWS (DLT) automates performance testing at scale, and how AWS Fault Injection Simulator (AWS FIS) performs controlled chaos engineering experiments on AWS resources. By combining the power of AWS FIS and DLT, organizations can perform comprehensive resilience testing and continuously validate their systems.

When building out a CI/CD pipeline, there are ways to proactively harden your pipelines when they need to access environments in AWS accounts. Given that your pipeline will have create and destroy access to critical components of your AWS-based environments, it’s important to evaluate how GitLab Runner authenticates and authorizes for access to your AWS accounts. Learn how the new OpenID Connect (OIDC) for GitLab CI/CD jobs can help you access AWS services using GitLab.

The power and flexibility of Adobe Photoshop (and Lightroom) has moved to the cloud via a new set of developer APIs. These APIs allow for powerful integrations including ecommerce generators and other content automation streams. Organizations can now get Photoshop technology in the cloud, giving you the ability to scale content workflows and save time and money in the process. Learn what developers can add to their toolbox and how they can use different AWS services to build scalable image manipulation workflow.

A low-code software development platform with a robust ecosystem has proven invaluable for public sector agencies tasked with reinventing digital government for a new era. Learn how Mendix has enabled public sector customers to meet the rapid pace of innovation, and removed the barriers that come with traditional deployment models by using their low-code application development platform. Mendix is a Siemens business and a global leader in enterprise low-code.

Amazon QuickSight is an easy-to-use, cloud-powered analytics business intelligence tool that provides insights and analytics capabilities. Experts from AWS and Quantiphi, an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, discuss an approach to assist users in leveraging Amazon QuickSight as an enterprise-wide BI tool. The entire process, creation of data sources, datasets, analysis, and eventually dashboards, can be automated using AWS CodePipeline.

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) allows developers to define their infrastructure as code using familiar programming languages. It simplifies the process of building, deploying, and managing infrastructure in AWS, making it a popular choice for organizations that want to improve their agility, reliability, and scalability. Learn how Attini helps you package your code, configuration, and deployment instructions into immutable artifacts. The Attini Framework will then automatically run your deployments for you.

The platform engineering function also helps improve the developer experience by providing the right set of tools, technologies, and templates in a self-service portal. Redapt helps customers create their internal development platforms, which empower application developers while providing well-defined, consistent, and secure environments that are cost effective, shared, and monitored. Learn how Redapt works on IDPs using AWS Proton, an AWS managed service that helps implement IDP features for ongoing Day 2 operations.

To ensure cloud infrastructure is compliant with organizational policies and regulatory requirements, many platform engineering teams are embedding the policy-as-code practice into their DevSecOps toolchain. Learn how to use Pulumi and its CrossGuard policy-as-code feature to ensure your infrastructure is compliant before it’s ever provisioned in AWS. We’ll also demonstrate how to define custom policies in Python, and how to create a reusable package of policies by storing them in AWS CodeArtifact.

When a DXC Technology customer wanted a complete view of requests traveling through an application so they could compare trace sets with different conditions, DXC deployed distributed tracing using AWS X-Ray. This helped monitor and debug distributed applications within the workflow to aid in swift identification of performance issues or errors. Explore the solution’s reference architecture and follow a step-by-step how to enable AWS X-Ray for different AWS products.

When you combine AWS CodeBuild with Snyk to deploy your infrastructure as code project, you gain a repeatable process that’s easy to track and manage that happens to include security results. AWS provides the automation while Snyk provides enhanced security. Learn how to manage an IaC project written with Terraform by HashiCorp and deployed with AWS CodeBuild, and review results before a scan and after when hidden issues are often revealed.
