The Future of AWS CodeCommit

Back in July 2024, we announced plans to de-emphasize AWS CodeCommit based on adoption patterns and our assessment of customer needs. We never stopped looking at the data or listening to you, and what you’ve shown us is clear: you need an AWS-managed solution for your code repositories. Based on this feedback, CodeCommit is returning […]

CloudFormation Deployment validation feature

Accelerate infrastructure development with CloudFormation pre-deployment validation and simplified troubleshooting

AWS CloudFormation makes it easy to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code. CloudFormation templates can be written directly in JSON or YAML, or they can be generated by tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). Resources are created and managed by CloudFormation as units called Stacks. Additionally, change set enable you […]

Streamlining Multi-Account Infrastructure with AWS CloudFormation StackSets and AWS CDK

Introduction Organizations operating at scale on AWS often need to manage resources across multiple accounts and regions. Whether it’s deploying security controls, compliance configurations, or shared services, maintaining consistency can be challenging. AWS CloudFormation StackSets (StackSets) has been helping organizations deploy resources across multiple accounts and regions since its launch. While the service is powerful […]

Simplify Multi-Account Deployments Monitoring: Centralized Logs for AWS CloudFormation StackSets

How to Simplify Multi-Account Deployments Monitoring: Centralized Logs for AWS CloudFormation StackSets

Introduction As organizations adopt multi-account strategies for improved security features and governance, AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables organizations to deploy infrastructure across multiple accounts and regions. However, monitoring and tracking these distributed deployments across multiple accounts presents operational challenges. When a critical security baseline deployed across 50 accounts suddenly starts failing, teams face the daunting task of logging […]

Infrastructure as Code at Thomson Reuters with AWS CDK

Infrastructure as Code at Thomson Reuters with AWS CDK

This post is cowritten by Danilo Tommasina and Lalit Kumar B from Thomson Reuters. Large organizations often struggle with infrastructure management challenges including compliance issues, development bottlenecks and errors from inconsistent AWS resource creation across teams. Without standardized naming, tagging and policy enforcement, teams face repeated boilerplate code and difficulty accessing centrally-managed resources. In this […]

StackSets Deployment Strategies: Balancing Speed, Safety, and Scale to Optimize Deployments for Different Organizational Needs

AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables organizations to deploy infrastructure consistently across multiple AWS accounts and regions. However, success depends on choosing the right deployment strategy that balances three critical factors: deployment speed, operational safety, and organizational scale. This guide explores proven StackSets deployment strategies specifically designed for multi-account infrastructure management. Understanding StackSets Deployment Fundamentals What are […]

A presentation title slide with AWS branding in the top right corner, featuring the text "Beyond Bootstrap: Bootstrapless CDK Deployments at GoDaddy" on a background with a gradient blend of blue and golden colors. The bottom of the slide includes a small copyright notice. The design is modern and corporate, using AWS's typical presentation style.

Beyond Bootstrap: Bootstrapless CDK Deployments at GoDaddy

This is a guest post written by Ramanathan Nachiappan from GoDaddy. In the world of infrastructure as code, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) has revolutionized how teams define and provision cloud resources. Central to its operation is the bootstrapping process, which ensures all required resources and permissions are in place to enable secure […]

Reduce Docker image build time on AWS CodeBuild using Amazon ECR as a remote cache

Reduce Docker image build time on AWS CodeBuild using Amazon ECR as a remote cache

In modern software development, containerization with Docker has revolutionized how we build and deploy applications. While Docker enables packaging applications into portable containers, the continuous need to update these images can be resource intensive. AWS CodeBuild addresses this challenge by providing a managed build service that eliminates infrastructure maintenance overhead. In this blog post, we’ll […]

Multi Agent Collaboration with Strands

Multi Agent Collaboration with Strands

In the evolving landscape of autonomous systems, multi-agent collaboration is becoming not only feasible but necessary. As agents gain more capabilities, like advanced reasoning, adaptation, and tool use, the challenge shifts from individual performance to effective coordination. The question is no longer “can an agent solve a task?” but “how do we organize execution across […]

AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) Launches Refactor

We are excited to announce a new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) feature that makes it easier and safer to refactor your infrastructure as code. CDK Refactor aims to preserve your AWS resources as you rename constructs, move resources between stacks, and reorganize your CDK applications – operations that previously risked resource replacement. When writing […]
