Modular regression testing framework built on AWS for large-scale systems
Regression testing must catch behavior changes before they reach production, yet synthetic tests miss real-world edge cases. This post walks through a modular framework, built on AWS, that replays a sample of production traffic against new code and automatically gates deployments on the fraction of results that match production.
Inside an enterprise AI agent: A governed, observable loop architecture
This post lays out a five-layer reference architecture for governed, observable enterprise AI agents on AWS: an API gateway, a five-phase agent runtime, a knowledge and state tier, platform services, and a cross-cutting trust and control framework. Each layer maps to managed AWS services, with the design patterns worth copying and the mistakes to avoid.
Self-service regional failover with Amazon Application Recovery Controller Region Switch and centralized ingress controls
Application teams in regulated enterprises can execute self-service regional failover with Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) Region Switch, even behind centrally managed ingress proxy fleets. Learn how Transit Gateway peering, Route 53 Private Hosted Zones, and VPC Lattice preserve security controls while removing cross-team coordination during DR.
Automating the full AWS DRS agent lifecycle: Install, heal, and offboard
Keeping a large Amazon EC2 fleet continuously recoverable with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a lifecycle challenge. This post shows how to automate the full DRS agent lifecycle (install, heal, and offboard) using AWS Systems Manager Automation and Amazon EventBridge, driven by a single EC2 tag and no Lambda functions.
Publishing LMS courses with a Kiro SCORM pipeline
See how to use Kiro, an agentic AI, to automate converting raw training material into compliant SCORM packages that are ready to upload to a learning management system (LMS).
Data governance with annotations in Amazon S3
Attach governance context such as classification, retention, residency, and PII flags directly to your Amazon S3 objects with S3 annotations. This post walks through the end-to-end pattern and the handful of S3 behaviors that decide whether your governance design is correct.
Automate medical coding with Step Functions and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Learn how to combine deterministic orchestration with bounded agentic reasoning using AWS Step Functions and the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness. This medical coding workflow escalates cheapest-first: a safety block-list, then exact matching, then an AI agent only for terms that need judgment, keeping every routing decision auditable.
Multi-region disaster recovery for Amazon API Gateway WebSocket APIs
Learn how to build multi-region disaster recovery for Amazon API Gateway WebSocket APIs. This design pattern combines Amazon Route 53 DNS failover, Amazon DynamoDB Global Tables, a canary health probe, and client-side reconnection logic to reconnect clients and restore session state automatically during a regional failover.
Agentic antimicrobial resistance surveillance with AWS HealthOmics and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
This post presents a reference architecture that turns public sequencing data into plain-language answers about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. It pairs AWS HealthOmics for managed genomics processing with a grounded Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agent, so researchers can ask questions without writing bioinformatics code or SQL.
Deploy Oracle Database step by step on Amazon EVS with FSx for ONTAP
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.
