This post provides step-by-step procedures to deploy Oracle Database on Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as NFS datastore storage. You provision storage volumes, mount NFS datastores, install Oracle, and configure SnapMirror replication for cross-region disaster recovery.

Deploy AWS Regional availability data as infrastructure you own. Capability Insights for AWS runs a self-hosted dashboard in your VPC that auto-refreshes daily, and Workload Analysis narrows the catalog to the services your account actually runs, so your Regional expansion gap analysis focuses only on what you deploy.

Prove your multi-AZ architecture can sustain a real impairment. This post shows how to run a multi-day (48-72 hour) Availability Zone evacuation drill with ARC Zonal Shift across Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, with step-by-step CLI commands, prerequisites, observability metrics, and restore procedures.

Learn how to build AI interfaces that automatically adapt to your agents’ variable outputs, using the AG-UI protocol for dynamic UI generation, the Strands Agents SDK swarm pattern for explainable multi-agent collaboration, and Amazon Nova Act to integrate legacy systems that lack APIs.

Real-time streaming workers that hold hundreds of persistent WebSocket connections lose data when a worker fails. Learn how to build a WebSocket fleet management system on Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate that uses Amazon DynamoDB conditional writes as a distributed lease to track ownership, fail over automatically, and deploy with low downtime.

Learn how to use AWS Fault Injection Service and AWS Systems Manager Automation to run progressive chaos experiments against Amazon SQS queues. Validate that your retry logic, circuit breakers, and dead-letter queues actually work under failure before a real outage hits production.

Learn how AWS, HashiCorp, and Athenahealth designed and chaos-tested a multi-Region disaster recovery strategy for Terraform Enterprise on AWS. This post walks through three-phase AWS Fault Injection Service experiments across Amazon EC2, Aurora, and Amazon S3, the 12-14 minute recovery times achieved, and the state file dependency pitfall to avoid.

Learn how to track generative AI costs by department using Amazon Bedrock application inference profiles and AWS cost allocation tags. Create tagged profiles for each team and view per-department cost breakdowns in AWS Cost Explorer.

Learn how parameterized query templates reduced Text2SQL latency by 80% and cut token consumption by over 50%. This post covers the architecture behind an intelligent caching layer that uses semantic similarity to match user questions to SQL templates, bypassing expensive LLM calls.

Learn how to coordinate AI agents through shared state in Amazon S3 instead of a central orchestrator. Deploy and observe self-organizing agent clusters on Amazon EC2 with the open-source kiro-flock reference implementation.
