Skuid by Nintex is a low-code platform for rapidly building enterprise web apps. This post demonstrates using Skuid to connect to Amazon S3, listing bucket contents in a table, and enabling upload, download, and delete actions. With just a few configuration steps and zero coding, Skuid integrates data from services like S3 into polished, branded experiences, and streamlines building cloud-native apps without compromising power or flexibility.

Large language models like Amazon Bedrock can generate MongoDB queries from natural language questions, transforming how users access NoSQL databases. By leveraging AI and language models, this solution allows business users to query MongoDB data through conversational English instead of code. It connects to MongoDB with PyMongo, generates queries with LangChain and Bedrock, retrieves and formats results into natural language answers.

Vcinity’s data movement and remote data access solutions enable enterprises to build continuous data pipelines that provide secure, performant access to distributed data.

TensorIoT leverages AWS services and the Guidance for Carbon Accounting framework to build carbon accounting solutions. It provides a technical walkthrough for calculating a facility’s Scope 2 emissions using EPA data on building energy use and electricity emissions factors. The solution allows input of building details like type, area, and zip code to estimate or calculate emissions, and AWS services provide adaptability, transparency, efficiency, and security.

AWS IAM Roles Anywhere allow you to use identity and access management roles to obtain temporary credentials for workloads outside AWS. This minimizes exposed credentials, enables centralized access controls with AWS IAM, and provides granular permissions to virtual machines. Explore common use cases for using IAM Roles Anywhere for your workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS and the relevant setup process on a virtual machine in VMware Cloud on AWS.

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.

AWS customers can run Kubernetes on managed services like Amazon EKS or self-managed options. To secure these environments, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) detects vulnerabilities and policy violations. Its findings can be sent to AWS Security Hub which aggregates security issues across AWS services. This post walks through installing RHACS on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, creating policies in RHACS, and integrating with Security Hub to view findings.
