Learn how to apply the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) security perspective to VMware Cloud on AWS. This post covers the shared responsibility model between VMware, AWS, and the customer across areas like security governance, access management, threat detection, vulnerability management, and incident response. Understanding these distinct scopes is critical for maintaining a strong security and compliance posture when using VMware Cloud on AWS.

In the dynamic digital landscape, enterprises are embracing cloud computing for its scalability and high availability. As cloud migration becomes a strategic priority, efficient cloud management is crucial. Tech Mahindra’s iCOPS (Intelligent Cloud Operations and Subscription Management Services) is a comprehensive platform designed to streamline cloud operations, enhance security, and optimize costs on AWS. iCOPS automates tasks like provisioning and deployment to help maximize their AWS investments.

Amazon Security Lake centralizes security data from multiple AWS sources into a customer-owned data lake. A New Relic integration provides a single pane for performance and security telemetry, ingests Amazon Security Lake data, and allows threat detection via curated dashboards and anomaly alerts. This solution improves cloud security posture by consolidating data, providing insights, and enabling automated response to potential threats.

Women’s sports have lacked access to data analytics geared towards enhancing their performance. AWS and KINEXON collaborated to develop player tracking technology tailored for women, with key innovations including personalized load management plans based on an athlete’s cycle. This helps establish meaningful performance thresholds derived from data, and build a supportive community to advance equality through sports technology specifically designed for women.

Amagi provides cloud broadcast solutions with tiered redundancy offerings to mitigate risks for broadcasters during disruptive events. Its CLOUDPORT platform supports hot, warm, and cold disaster recovery configurations spanning single/multi AWS Availability Zones and regions for varying recovery times. Exhaustive tuning, testing, and regular DR drills validate the failover capabilities aligned with broadcaster requirements for cost-effective business continuity.

Managing cloud costs is complex without enterprise-wide visibility, and FinOps provides financial accountability to maximize investments. Kyndryl’s approach to FinOps on AWS emphasizes transparent visibility for cultural transformation through continuous optimization, cost attribution, savings recommendations, anomaly detection, and role-based access across hybrid clouds. Customers can expect up to 30% savings through Kyndryl’s cost optimization expertise.

KewSustain is an AI platform by KewMann built on AWS that addresses gaps in sustainability compliance. It efficiently gathers ESG data from multiple sources, analyzes it, and generates sustainability reports adhering to major frameworks. Key features include automated data collection, collaboration tools, recommendations based on various risk factors, real-time insights via dashboards, and a virtual assistant providing guidance on reporting requirements.

Data observability enables monitoring, understanding, and troubleshooting data pipelines to ensure smooth and efficient workflows. By tracking metrics like lineage, volume, and schema, data engineers can quickly identify issues, optimize performance, and make informed decisions. TCS outlines an approach using AWS services for event ingestion, aggregation, and visualization to address observability challenges.

Spatial data creates data management challenges. Ellipsis Drive on Amazon S3 solves pain points: no scalable ingestion into a data lake, no interoperable searchability for analytics, no on-demand rendering. Benefits include scalability and time savings on management and transformation by automating ingestion and structuring; faster querying using patent-pending archives; and instant access to data to feed models and apps.

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.
