AWS Single Sign-On (AWS SSO) is where you create or connect your workforce identities in AWS once and manage access centrally across your AWS Organization. Learn about the new integration with CyberArk Workforce Identity to provide simplified access management and provisioning to AWS. With this integration, you can have a single point of truth for all enterprise identities and enforce consistent management of users, groups, permissions, and access policies while reducing redundancies and errors.

There are multiple use cases where applications running on AWS may require a Lambda function to process the file stored in Box storage before it’s sent to the next stage for further processing. This post explains how a Lambda function can be invoked on the upload of a file in a Box folder using a webhook. With the help of a Box webhook and Amazon API Gateway, users can invoke a Lambda function on file upload operation and download the file to Amazon S3.

A serverless architecture strategy reduces complexity and provides more flexibility in adopting the features and non-functional requirements needed to support market agility. In this post, walk through an example of an IoT use case and build a serverless scalable platform using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, and MongoDB Realm. You’ll learn how easy it is to develop mobile and desktop applications on top of the data platform for different personas.

Databricks SQL is a dedicated workspace for data analysts that comprises a native SQL editor, drag-and-drop dashboards, and built-in connectors for all major business intelligence tools as well as Photon. In this post, Volker Tjaden, an APN Ambassador from Databricks, shares the technical capabilities of Databricks SQL and walks through two examples: ingesting, querying, and visualizing AWS CloudTrail log data, and building near real-time dashboards on data coming from Amazon Kinesis.

This post will show you how to send Amazon Inspector‘s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) findings to the ServiceNow Security Operations (SecOps) module. At the time of this write-up, there is no native adaptor from AWS to the ServiceNow SecOps module and, as such, requires a custom integration. Learn how to use ServiceNow’s native RESTful API to create a custom interface that an AWS Lambda function will leverage to send the CVE findings as they reach AWS Security Hub.

Some contact center platforms don’t offer native integrations with AWS AI/ML services. Consequently, customers must learn to live with a “just enough” contact center until their license agreements expire, look for other options beyond AWS, or wait for the platform provider to build the integrations in future releases. Learn how Universal Speech Solutions (also known as Unispeech) created AWS AI/ML plugins that enable the non-native integrations.

One of the offerings to help joint AWS and Red Hat customers build for an open hybrid cloud future is Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), a fully managed OpenShift service, jointly supported by both Red Hat and AWS. In this post, we focus on a single but common use case often observed in the field where a joint enterprise customer has made investments in the AWS Cloud and is now considering expanding and adopting ROSA service as part of the AWS portfolio.

Privacera is an AWS Partner that provides security and privacy tools for enterprises to secure and govern user access to databases and datastores in the cloud. PrivaceraCloud reduces the burden of self-managing Apache Ranger by providing Ranger as a hosted service. It provides centralized management of data access, authorization policies, and auditing. Learn how Amazon EMR can integrate with PrivaceraCloud to provide a fully-managed data governance solution.

Organizations turn to Arm-based servers when looking for a cost-effective way to improve performance for their common workloads like microservices, application servers, and databases. To give developers the option to run code on Arm-based instances in their CI/CD pipelines without maintaining infrastructure on their own, CircleCI added new Arm-based resource classes based on Graviton2 as an option for all users.

There has been a lot of buzz about a new data architecture design pattern called a Lake House. A Lake House approach integrates a data lake with the data warehouse and all of the purpose-built stores so customers no longer have to take a one-size-fits-all approach and are able to select the storage that best suits their needs. Learn how to couple Amazon Redshift with a semantic layer from AtScale to deliver fast, agile, and analysis-ready data to business analysts and data scientists.
