The AWS Well-Architected Framework provides best practices for cloud architectures across six pillars. Comprinno’s Tevico enhances the Well-Architected review experience through collaboration tools, automatic risk identification, integrated remediation planning, and a knowledge base. Key features include visual diagramming, multi-user collaboration, auto-discovery of risks, and more. With AWS integration, Tevico helps customers comprehensively evaluate their workloads and swiftly remediate high-risk issues.

Traditional mainframe applications create data integration challenges when modernizing on the cloud. VirtualZ’s Lozen allows secure, real-time access to mainframe data from AWS without replication. This simplifies application migration while retaining the mainframe system of record. Lozen utilizes efficient data transformation and optimized protocols to improve performance, and is zIIP-eligible for additional cost savings.

Customer data is critical for modern digital organizations, but is often scattered across tools which can render it useless. Historically, customer data platforms (CDPs) aimed to consolidate data for insights and activation, but organizations now prefer a composable CDP architecture on AWS to sync data from Amazon Redshift and Amazon S3 into downstream tools. Hightouch facilitates this composable CDP approach, making it easy to activate AWS data across channels without engineering work.

As data becomes increasingly valuable, robust security measures are critical. This post reviews how Protegrity’s tokenization integration with Amazon Redshift Dynamic Data Masking enables organizations to effectively protect sensitive data. It provides an overview of key concepts like Protegrity Vaultless Tokenization and Redshift Dynamic Data Masking, including code examples to better safeguard sensitive information within their Redshift data warehouse both at rest and in use.

Amazon EC2 Mac instances provide Apple hardware to develop for iOS and macOS at scale. Dependencies for building apps require privileged access, normally needing manual user approval. By enrolling EC2 Macs into Mobile Device Management (MDM) with Jamf Pro, administrators can automate remote configuration and software deployment without per-instance interaction. After launching an instance and installing required profiles with Jamf, users should create an AMI to retain the instance state.

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) allow quick deployment of EC2 instances, but managing multiple customized AMIs is complex. Stratus10’s Image Management Solution automates and streamlines AMI building, testing, and deployment using EC2 Image Builder. It provides consistency, integrates with current processes, reduces costs, and improves security. By eliminating manual processes, engineering teams can focus on innovation while hardened images ensure best practices.

Enterprise cloud adoption enables scalability but can introduce security and compliance challenges from decentralized builders and disparate growth. Accenture’s Secure Cloud Foundation on AWS provides a well-defined, automated account provisioning process with guardrails to enable secure and streamlined self-service innovation across teams. It establishes robust cloud foundations to automate security and break organizational barriers for accountability and outcomes.

Salesforce and AWS provide integrations that extend platform capabilities to help organizations solve unique business problems. Customers leverage Salesforce for modern user workflows and AWS for backend services, system integration, and data analytics. Integrations link the platforms through automation and tightly coupled services to meet security and performance needs, often using asynchronous event flows.

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.

ServiceNow and AWS have collaborated to bridge language barriers in global workforces. Using AWS services like Amazon Translate and Amazon Comprehend, the AWS Translate Spoke for ServiceNow Flow Designer enables automatic translation of text into employees’ native languages. By demonstrating how the AWS Translate Spoke can translate knowledge articles, this post explains how ServiceNow customers can easily build multi-language workflows to serve global users.
