A hybrid cloud architecture pattern for modernizing medical imaging on AWS. Learn how multi-hospital networks can centralize PACS archives, enable cross-facility interoperability, and use Amazon S3 storage tiers to manage cost and retention at scale.

Learn how to build a hybrid cloud orchestration solution that manages distributed on-premises infrastructure at scale using AWS serverless technologies and Amazon EKS Anywhere. Part 1 covers the core event-driven architecture patterns for automating server lifecycle and cluster management across hundreds of sites.

Most teams give AI agents either full access or read-only, leaving value unused or risk unmanaged. This post describes graduated autonomy, an architectural pattern in which agents earn expanded permissions through sustained reliability and lose them when performance degrades, built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS CodePipeline.

AI agents built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore help clinical trial teams make fast, accurate enrollment decisions while keeping clinicians in control. This post shows how to architect an eligibility and safety screening agent using AWS HealthLake, AgentCore, and AgentCore Evaluations.

October 2026: This post was reviewed and updated for accuracy. Ransomware and other destructive events can compromise not just your production environment but the backups, credentials, and infrastructure you depend on for recovery. Cyber recovery addresses this case: restoring workloads to a known-good state when you cannot trust your own recovery inputs. In this post, […]

In this post, we walk you step-by-step through dacadoo’s journey of embracing managed services, highlighting their architectural decisions as we go.

Well, it’s been another historic year! We’ve watched in awe as the use of real-world generative AI has changed the tech landscape, and while we at the Architecture Blog happily participated, we also made every effort to stay true to our channel’s original scope, and your readership this last year has proven that decision was […]

AWS Regions provide fault isolation boundaries that prevent correlated failure and contain the impact from AWS service impairments to a single Region when they occur. You can use these fault boundaries to build multi-Region applications that consist of independent, fault-isolated replicas in each Region that limit shared fate scenarios. This allows you to build multi-Region […]

Generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) is a type of AI used to generate content, including conversations, images, videos, and music. Generative AI can be used directly to build customer-facing features (a chatbot or an image generator), or it can serve as an underlying component in a more complex system. For example, it can generate embeddings […]

April, 2026: Aurora Serverless v2 has been renamed Aurora serverless. No action required. SQL databases in Amazon Web Services (AWS), using services like Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and Amazon Aurora, offer software architects scalability, automated management, robust security, and cost-efficiency. This combination simplifies database management, improves performance, enhances security, and allows architects to […]
