AWS Elastic Beanstalk now joins your Windows Server instances to an Active Directory domain automatically at launch, before your application deploys, with no join scripts and no stored domain credentials. This walkthrough shows how to set it up, confirm the join, and see how Elastic Beanstalk reports a failed join without failing your deployment.

HERE Technologies is accelerating NDS.Live map data development with an orchestrated, multi-agent approach built on Kiro. Kiro powers, the Kiro CLI, a three-layer memory system, and Code Intelligence turned a fragile, manual workflow into a consistent, largely automated process with ASPICE traceability captured as work is created.

AWS CodeDeploy now offers a purpose-built RESTART deployment mode that reapplies the last successful revision to EC2 and on-premises fleets. It keeps restarts inside CodeDeploy with the same batch sizing, health checks, alarm monitoring, and rollback behavior as a standard deployment, and ran up to 6.1x faster in testing.

Learn how to connect AWS DevOps Agent investigation events to third-party tools such as Jira using Amazon EventBridge and AWS Lambda. This post walks through a deployable AWS CDK solution that automatically creates and updates Jira issues as an investigation progresses, and shows how to adapt the same pattern to ServiceNow, PagerDuty, and other tools.

Connect AWS DevOps Agent to your Amazon OpenSearch Service observability data using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so an alert that fires at 2 AM triggers autonomous root cause investigation. Covers three MCP server hosting paths (self-managed on Amazon ECS, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, or built-in OpenSearch 3.3+), plus alert routing and FGAC role mapping.

Mirelo AI turned its hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server into a Kiro power, so developers can generate production-ready sound effects from a natural-language prompt without leaving their IDE. Learn how Mirelo built the integration and how AWS Enterprise Support helped bring it to the Kiro powers marketplace.

A redesigned checkout button is meant to lift sales. A longer cache time to live (TTL) is meant to cut backend load. But until you test a change against real production traffic, decisions come down to intuition and whoever argues hardest, not evidence. With AWS AppConfig experimentation, you can make data-driven calls instead: using A/B […]

AS/400 business rule extraction no longer requires months of manual effort. Using Kiro, an agentic AI-powered development environment, this guide shows how to extract business rules from AS/400 RPG and COBOL programs, generate technical specifications, and produce modernization-ready documentation in days instead of months.

Every code review discussion, incident response thread, and standup happens in Slack. But when an engineer needs to analyze a service or debug a failing test, they leave Slack, open a terminal, navigate to the repository, run commands, and paste the output back. That round trip takes 30 seconds for someone who knows exactly where […]

Code review feedback is most valuable when it arrives early. A security vulnerability caught in a pull request saves hours. The same vulnerability caught in production costs days. But what if you could catch it before the code even leaves the developer’s machine – at the time of git commit? Git hooks run automatically at […]
