We also dive deep into how AWS Cloud WAN helped LexisNexis Risk Solutions achieve streamlined […]

AWS Direct Connect announces three new CloudWatch metrics for monitoring virtual interface BGP session health and prefix counts. Learn how to use VirtualInterfaceBgpStatus, VirtualInterfaceBgpPrefixesReceived, and VirtualInterfaceBgpPrefixesAdvertised to detect BGP failures, prevent prefix limit violations, and validate disaster recovery architectures without custom Lambda functions or API polling.

The Kubernetes SIG Network and Security Response Committee has announced that Ingress NGINX will be retired in March 2026. If your organization runs workloads on Kubernetes — whether on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), self-managed clusters on EC2, or hybrid environments — this upcoming change requires immediate planning and attention.

Uploading files to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is a common requirement for modern applications. Although the concept is clear, there are several ways to implement S3 uploads, each with distinct trade-offs in security, user experience, and scalability. Understanding these patterns and their best-fit scenarios is essential for making informed architectural decisions that align […]

Imagine receiving an unexpected $1,200 Data Transfer Out (DTO) charge on your Amazon Web Services (AWS) bill. You know something generated significant outbound traffic, but you’re left wondering: which resource caused it? Where was the data sent? Was it legitimate application traffic or a security incident? This common challenge faces FinOps professionals, DevOps engineers, and […]

As organizations scale globally, balancing user experience with operational costs becomes increasingly complex. Integrating Amazon CloudFront with Application Load Balancer (ALB) addresses this challenge by reducing latency by serving content from over 750 edge locations worldwide and maintaining persistent TCP connections between CloudFront and ALB origins while reducing Data Transfer Out (DTO) expenses through the […]
