At re:Invent 2024, HashiCorp announces the public beta of pre-written Sentinel policies for AWS. With this new release, AWS customers can gain the immediate benefit of Sentinel policy as code, without having to invest in the heavy lifting of writing their own Sentinel policies from scratch.

When you combine AWS CodeBuild with Snyk to deploy your infrastructure as code project, you gain a repeatable process that’s easy to track and manage that happens to include security results. AWS provides the automation while Snyk provides enhanced security. Learn how to manage an IaC project written with Terraform by HashiCorp and deployed with AWS CodeBuild, and review results before a scan and after when hidden issues are often revealed.

It has become increasingly important for companies to meet security and compliance standards set forth across industries today, but this is particularly a hurdle for smaller ISVs and startups that do not have the resources and budget to navigate the ever-growing list. Learn about an approach and best practices for SOC 2 compliance, and how DuploCloud accelerates time to compliance by natively integrating security controls into mainstream DevOps workflows.

For a recent project, NTT DATA Services was asked to architect and design the migration of a customer’s backend search tool used by two of its applications. Both applications were leveraging Elasticsearch for data storage. Learn how NTT DATA used some of the DevOps pillars to implement migrations using an active migration strategy. The goal was to move from individual Elasticsearch instances on Amazon EC2 to a single multi-tenant hosted Elasticsearch solution per region—in this case, Amazon OpenSearch Service.

Servian Cloud Foundation helps organizations build an automated, secure, compliant, and fully customizable account and infrastructure foundation on AWS. It’s a well-architected and opinionated blueprint built from Servian’s expertise and experience helping customers address security, compliance, DevOps, and IaC adoption challenges. Servian Cloud Foundation significantly reduces time to adoption for building solutions at speed and scale, while decreasing risk and putting in place consistent best-practice processes.

Learn about a multi-regional first-line of support solution Chaos Gears put together using a serverless application running AWS Lambda under the baton of AWS Step Functions to relieve a customer’s engineers from some of their operational burdens. The approach described in this post can be adapted to serve other needs or cover different cases, as AWS Step Functions’ visual workflows allow for a quick translation of business requirements to technical ones.

This post describes a solution created by IBM during the migration of a big data and analytics platform for one of the top 10 banks worldwide. The primary drivers were cost efficiency, business agility, and performance. The “pet to cattle” concept was applied to this solution to transform the legacy high availability disaster recovery solution to a more robust and cost-effective cattle-based solution through the use of AWS-native services.

The foundational approach for most companies adopting DevOps is to embrace an automation-first approach using a range of tools. Learn why implementing DevOps at scale can be a challenge, however, and why an environment-as-a-service (EaaS) approach using Quali Torque can overcome these challenges. Torque enables developers to access their application environments on demand while ensuring governance for the ITOps team.

Despite the investments and commitment from leadership, many organizations are yet to realize the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). How can data science and analytics teams tame complexity and live up to the expectations placed on them? MLOps provides some answers. Hear from AWS Premier Consulting Partner Reply how you can “glue” the various components of MLOps together to build an MLOps solution using AWS managed services.

An often-overlooked aspect of migration is the configuration checks on the underlying cloud infrastructure. In order to make sure the foundational infrastructure is safe, secure and compliant, there’s a need to validate the cloud configuration early in the migration cycle. Infosys has developed an innovative automation solution that addresses the need for secure configuration reviews, while ensuring agility and reliability through the migration journey.
