Many SaaS platforms bill each customer on their own cycle from their signup date, which turns into millions of precisely timed invoice and reminder events. Learn how to use Amazon EventBridge Scheduler as the time-aware backbone of a per-customer billing system, with recurring invoice schedules, one-time reminders, and no scheduling infrastructure to run.

Amazon EC2 application status checks detect application-layer failures with an HTTP or HTTPS health check, publish the result to Amazon CloudWatch, and let Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling replace impaired instances. Catch a stuck application without running a separate monitoring system.

The final post in our GPU workstation series covers security for visual effects workstations on Amazon EC2: controlling who can reach the desktop, protecting the Amazon DCV session in transit, and safeguarding credentials, images, and storage, plus IAM, encryption, monitoring, and patch management best practices for production VFX environments.

Part 4 of our series on building GPU workstations for visual effects on Amazon EC2. This post covers standardizing VFX workstation configurations with custom AMIs and launch templates, GPU performance optimizations such as disabling ECC, and security considerations when sharing machine images.

The third post in a five-part series on building GPU-backed VFX workstations on Amazon EC2. This post walks through deploying a Windows Server 2025 workstation with NVIDIA GPU drivers, Amazon DCV as the remote display protocol, and Wacom stylus support for a high-performance remote creative environment.

The second post in a five-part series on building GPU-backed visual effects (VFX) workstations on Amazon EC2. You deploy and configure a Rocky Linux 9.5 workstation with NVIDIA GPU drivers, Wacom drivers, and Amazon DCV as a high-performance desktop display protocol.

The first in a five-part series on building NVIDIA GPU-powered virtual workstations on Amazon EC2 G-series instances. Part 1 covers the G instance families, Amazon DCV desktop streaming, connectivity options, and the account, service quota, networking, and IAM prerequisites for deploying GPU-accelerated workstations.

Learn how to configure PostgreSQL logical replication between two Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL instances on separate AWS Outposts racks, keeping all replication traffic and backups within your on-premises environment by using Customer-owned IP addresses and Local Gateways, without any data traversing the AWS Region.

Learn how to build end-to-end observability for AWS Outposts across four dimensions: network, storage, compute, and containers. This post uses AWS Systems Manager, Amazon CloudWatch, and Amazon EventBridge for unified visibility and automated incident response across hybrid infrastructure spanning your data center and an AWS Region.

Learn how an AWS Lambda function and an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agent investigate a folder of related documents together through a shared Amazon S3 Files file system, using ordinary file operations instead of object download and upload code.
