Building a scalable code modernization solution with AWS Transform custom
Introduction Software maintenance and modernization is a critical challenge for enterprises managing hundreds or thousands of repositories. Whether upgrading Java versions, migrating to new AWS SDKs, or modernizing frameworks, the scale of transformation work can be overwhelming. AWS Transform custom uses agentic AI to perform large-scale modernization of software, code, libraries, and frameworks to reduce […]
AWS Transform custom: AI-driven Java modernization to reduce tech debt
In today’s rapidly evolving software landscape, maintaining and modernizing Java applications is a critical challenge for many organizations. As new Java versions are released and best practices evolve, the need for efficient code transformation becomes increasingly important. Organizations today face significant challenges when modernizing their Java applications. Legacy codebases often contain outdated patterns, deprecated APIs, […]
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 […]
From AI agent prototype to product: Lessons from building AWS DevOps Agent
At re:Invent 2025, Matt Garman announced AWS DevOps Agent, a frontier agent that resolves and proactively prevents incidents, continuously improving reliability and performance. As a member of the DevOps Agent team, we’ve focused heavily on making sure that the “incident response” capability of the DevOps Agent generates useful findings and observations. In particular, we’ve been […]
Resolve and prevent operational incidents with AWS DevOps Agent and New Relic
This post was co-written with Muthuvelan Swaminathan (Principal Partner Engineer) and Ruchika Bakolia (Software Engineer) from New Relic. Modern distributed systems that generate massive volumes of metrics, traces, and logs are inherently complex. The process of correlating logs, comparing configurations and switching between tools during incident management makes manual root cause analysis a bottleneck that […]
Accelerate autonomous incident resolutions using the Datadog MCP server and AWS DevOps agent (in preview)
This post was co-written with Omri Sass (Director of Product Management), Cansu Berkem (Director of Product Management), and Mohammad Jama (Product Marketing Manager) from Datadog. On-call engineers spend hours manually investigating incidents across multiple observability tools, logs, and monitoring systems. This process delays incident resolution and impacts business operations, especially when teams need to correlate […]
Introducing the AWS Infrastructure as Code MCP Server: AI-Powered CDK and CloudFormation Assistance
Streamline your AWS infrastructure development with AI-powered documentation search, validation, and troubleshooting Introduction Today, we’re excited to introduce the AWS Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) MCP Server, a new tool that bridges the gap between AI assistants and your AWS infrastructure development workflow. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this server enables AI assistants like Kiro CLI, […]
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 […]
Take fine-grained control of your AWS CloudFormation StackSets Deployment with StackSet Dependencies
Introduction AWS CloudFormation StackSets enable you to deploy CloudFormation stacks across multiple AWS accounts and regions with a single operation, providing centralized management of infrastructure at scale through AWS Organizations integration. In enterprise environments, multiple StackSet often need to deploy in a specific order. For example, networking infrastructure must be ready before applications can deploy […]
Safely Handle Configuration Drift with CloudFormation Drift-Aware Change Sets
Introduction Is configuration drift preventing you from accessing the speed, safety, and governance benefits of AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure management? Configuration drift occurs when cloud resources are modified outside of CloudFormation, leading to a mismatch in the actual state and template definition of resources. Drift tends to accumulate from infrastructure changes that engineers make via […]
