Automate root cause analysis across Datadog and Elasticsearch with AWS DevOps Agent

Automate root cause analysis across Datadog and Elasticsearch with AWS DevOps Agent

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 […]

Ensure Code Integrity for AWS Lambda Functions with Automated Code Signing using Terraform

Ensure Code Integrity for AWS Lambda Functions with Automated Code Signing Using Terraform

Authors: Sourav Kundu and Joyson Neville Lewis. In today’s cloud-native landscape, ensuring the integrity and authenticity of your serverless functions is critical for maintaining security and compliance. Organizations face increasing challenges in preventing the execution of tampered or malicious code in their AWS Lambda functions. These challenges intensify as deployment pipelines become more complex and […]

Agentic application modernization at scale with Strands and Amazon Transform custom

Introduction Modernizing applications by upgrading language runtimes, migrating SDKs, and refactoring frameworks is important for cloud adoption but can be labor-intensive at scale. Each repository requires analysis of dependencies and transformation needs; custom transformation logic must be built and validated, and changes are often executed sequentially across codebases. If you have hundreds of applications, this […]

Amazon Q Developer end-of-support announcement

When we launched Amazon Q Developer, our goal was to bring AI assistance directly into the developer workflow. Customers adopted Q Developer across VS Code, JetBrains, Eclipse, and Visual Studio, using it for code generation, debugging, and chat-based guidance. Q Developer proved that AI belongs in the inner loop of software development. Over the past […]

Securely connect AWS DevOps Agent to private services in your VPCs

by Alexandra Huides, Jordan Merrick, Mohak Kohli, and Tipu Qureshi on in DevOps Permalink Share

AWS DevOps Agent is your always-available operations teammate that resolves and proactively prevents incidents, optimizes application reliability and performance, and handles on-demand SRE tasks across AWS, multicloud, and on-premises environments. It integrates with your existing observability tools to correlate telemetry, code, and deployment data to reduce Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) and drive operational excellence. […]

Standardizing construct properties with AWS CDK Property Injection

Standardizing construct properties with AWS CDK Property Injection

Standardizing CDK construct properties across a large organization requires repetitive manual effort that scales poorly as teams and repositories grow. Development teams working with AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) must apply the same configuration properties across similar resources to meet security, compliance, and operational standards but manual configuration leads to drift, maintenance burden, and […]

Best Practices for Deploying AWS DevOps Agent in Production

Root cause analysis during incidents is one of the most time-consuming and stressful parts of operating cloud applications. Engineers must quickly correlate telemetry data across multiple services, review deployment history, and understand complex application dependencies—all while under pressure to restore service. AWS DevOps Agent changes this paradigm by bringing autonomous investigation capabilities to your operations […]

By emphasizing AI-led workflows and human-centric decision-making, AI-DLC can deliver velocity and quality. However, realizing these gains hinges on how organizations effectively integrate AI into their engineering workflows. Through our work with engineering teams across industries, we […]

Introducing AWS CloudFormation Stack Refactoring Console Experience: Reorganize Your Infrastructure Without Disruption

Introducing AWS CloudFormation Stack Refactoring Console Experience: Reorganize Your Infrastructure Without Disruption

AWS CloudFormation models and provisions cloud infrastructure as code, letting you manage entire lifecycle operations through declarative templates. Stack Refactoring console experience, announced today, extends the AWS CLI experience launched earlier. Now, you move resources between stacks, rename logical IDs, and decompose monolithic templates into focused components without touching the underlying infrastructure using the CloudFormation […]
