Introduction When CI/CD deployment failures occur for GitHub hosted applications,  AWS DevOps Agent reduces the hours that Development and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams typically spend manually investigating across multiple AWS services, logs, and pipeline stages. This process delays critical deployments and impacts software delivery velocity. This is especially true when teams need to correlate data between GitHub commit histories, AWS CodePipeline execution logs, and Amazon […]

AWS DevOps Agent can investigate a growing range of production incidents autonomously. It diagnoses CrashLoopBackOff failures, traces ConfigMap deletions through audit logs, and correlates Amazon CloudWatch metrics with cluster events — all without human intervention. But AWS DevOps Agent has a visibility boundary. When the data it needs lives outside its native integrations — on […]

Introduction When a deployment fails, finding the root cause often means piecing together information from multiple sources. You wait for the deployment to finish, request a log bundle, download it, and then search through files like eb-engine.log and cfn-init.log to find the error. If you’re not familiar with Elastic Beanstalk’s log file structure, you might […]

Modern distributed systems route business transactions through dozens of microservices, message queues, and event streams. When a message fails to process or processing exceeds SLA thresholds, troubleshooting requires correlating logs from tools like Elasticsearch, metrics from Datadog, and infrastructure change events in AWS CloudTrail. Correlating these signals manually across heterogeneous backends, each with different query […]

Introduction AWS Elastic Beanstalk simplifies the process of deploying and scaling web applications. You upload your code, and Elastic Beanstalk handles capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto scaling, and application health monitoring. Elastic Beanstalk now offers AI Analysis to help troubleshoot environment health issues. When you request an analysis, Elastic Beanstalk triggers a script on the […]

Introduction Organizations carry a growing burden of technical debt — aging codebases, outdated runtimes, and legacy frameworks that slow innovation, increase security risk, and inflate maintenance costs. Addressing this debt requires tackling a wide range of code transformation challenges: version upgrades, runtime migrations, framework transitions, and language translations, all of which must be repeated across […]

March 2026: This post has been updated to reflect that Amazon ECS now supports canary and linear deployment strategies natively as of October 2025. The recommendation has been updated accordingly to reflect ECS-native as the default choice for new deployments. Blue/green deployments on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) have long been a go-to pattern […]

Introduction Developers working with AWS find AWS Elastic Beanstalk to be an invaluable service that makes it straightforward to deploy and run web applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. You simply upload your application code, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and monitoring, which allows you to […]

Introduction ArgoCD is a leading GitOps tool that empowers teams to manage Kubernetes deployments declaratively, using Git as the single source of truth. Its robust feature set, including automated sync, rollback support, drift detection, advanced deployment strategies, RBAC integration, and multi-cluster support, makes it a go-to solution for Kubernetes application delivery. However, as organizations scale, […]

Introduction Today, we’re announcing the release of aws-eks-v2 construct, a new alpha version of AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) L2 construct for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This construct represents a significant change in how developers can define and manage their EKS environments using infrastructure as code. While maintaining the powerful capabilities of its predecessor […]
