Optimizing ODCR usage through AI-powered capacity insights
Efficient resource management is crucial for organizations seeking to optimize cloud costs while making sure of seamless access to compute capacity. Amazon EC2 On-Demand Capacity Reservations (ODCRs) provide the flexibility to reserve compute capacity within a specific Availability Zone (AZ) for any duration. In this post, we demonstrate how Amazon Bedrock Agents can help organizations gain actionable insights into ODCR usage across their AWS environment.
Modernizing applications with AWS AppSync Events
In this post, you learn how to use AWS AppSync Events to modernize your applications by bridging synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns without requiring significant changes to your existing frontend code.
Enhancing multi-account activity monitoring with event-driven architectures
Enterprise cloud environments are growing increasingly complex as they scale, with organizations managing hundreds to thousands of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts across multiple business units and AWS Regions. Organizations need efficient ways to collect, transport, and analyze activity data for threat detection and compliance monitoring. In this post, you will learn to use AWS CloudTrail and Amazon EventBridge for real-time cloud activity monitoring and automated response.
Control instance placement using Asset Level Capacity Management for AWS Outposts
AWS Outposts supports self-service capacity management at the entire Outpost level, or at the individual asset level, making it easy for you to view and manage compute capacity on your Outposts. The release of Asset Level Capacity Management allows you to control the configuration of specific assets within your Outpost, which can be useful when planning strategies for EC2 Auto Scaling groups and host-level high availability. This post focuses on how to use Asset Level Capacity Management to perform single-host reconfigurations, and how this can be used with Amazon EC2 placement groups to control instance placement on your Outpost.
