This post offers insights and guidance from Rackspace for those looking to embark on this intricate migration journey.

There is no easier way to run HTTPS-enabled static websites on AWS than by using Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3. In this post, we’ll look at automating website deployment on AWS using AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) and TypeScript. We’ll use the architecture that combines CloudFront as the content delivery network, AWS Certificate Manager for secure certificate provisioning, Amazon S3 for reliable website hosting, and Amazon Route 53 as the domain name system.

It can be challenging for companies to consolidate data from multiple sources into one system, which is why many use AWS Glue to build ETL workflows to load their data into data lakes. Learn how AWS has collaborated with Protegrity to enable organizations with strict security requirements to protect their data while being able to obtain the powerful insights. We’ll demonstrate how data tokenization for data in transit is performed using Protegrity’s Cloud API and AWS Glue.

SaaS is about achieving innovation and growth through efficient operations. SaaS application should be managed, operated, and scaled through a single management experience that increase this operational efficiency. In this post, we explore three distinct SaaS Anywhere patterns that we’ve identified and delve into the essential business drivers and associated considerations for each pattern. We’ll examine the challenges one should keep in mind when handling and overseeing a solution using the SaaS Anywhere deployment model.

Leveraging the AWs serverless quick start solution which details core integration requirements of AWS Marketplace, this post builds on that foundation and offers techniques for providing end-to-end AWS Marketplace-to-SaaS application integration, using the quick start as a starting point. Specifically, we’ll look at ways you can use AWS Marketplace to onboard new tenants into your SaaS application. We’ll also cover a few of strategies for leveraging the billing capabilities of AWS Marketplace to charge for usage.

Traditional cloud monitoring, observability, and security approaches often require manual processes for data analytics.
