The cost dimensions of agentic workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) are invisible to many organizations beginning their agentic journey. It’s straightforward to track tokens consumed because this dimension translates directly to your bill. But most organizations can’t determine the cost per request or the cost to answer a single user question. Without understanding the cost to answer a single user question, organizations are blind to cost issues. In this post, I talk about how to gain visibility into your agentic costs, and I identify three things you can do to better control your costs.

Learn how Somapa Information Technology PCL (SomapaIT), an AWS Partner, chooses Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud to implement DAC systems because of its global footprint, security, high availability, and scalability.

Learn how the Boise State University Foundation transformed quarterly Microsoft Excel reports into real-time dashboards using Amazon Quick, a 780-fold improvement that fundamentally changed how leadership makes decisions. It extracts actionable insights from a decades-old legacy system while supporting a major comprehensive fundraising campaign.

In this post, the first in a two-part series, we focus on the detection and forensic readiness side of satellite IR. This post walks through instrumenting your ground segment with Amazon Web Services (AWS) security services and AWS Ground Station so that threats surface before they cause damage, and forensic data is already flowing when an incident occurs.

This blog covers what to do when those detections fire. Satellite incident response (IR) must account for constraints that ground-based systems never face: containment actions that wait for the next orbital pass, decisions that trade mission continuity against security, and recovery procedures where the compromised endpoint cannot be physically accessed. It walks through containment, eradication, recovery, automated runbooks, and tabletop exercises designed for satellite operations teams.

In this post, we explain what the Progressing Snapshot program is, what the program is for, who it is for, and how Amazon Web Services (AWS) helps you lay the foundation to address many of the 40 snapshot controls.
