The AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC) methodology marks a significant change in software development by strategically assigning routine tasks to AI while maintaining human oversight for critical decisions. Amazon Q Developer, a generative AI coding assistant, supports the entire software development lifecycle and offers the Project Rules feature, allowing users to tailor their development practices […]

AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC) holds the promise of unlocking the full potential of AI in software development. 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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

AWS CloudFormation makes it easy to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code. CloudFormation templates can be written directly in JSON or YAML, or they can be generated by tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). Resources are created and managed by CloudFormation as units called Stacks. Additionally, change set enable you […]

Introduction Organizations operating at scale on AWS often need to manage resources across multiple accounts and regions. Whether it’s deploying security controls, compliance configurations, or shared services, maintaining consistency can be challenging. AWS CloudFormation StackSets (StackSets) has been helping organizations deploy resources across multiple accounts and regions since its launch. While the service is powerful […]

Introduction As organizations adopt multi-account strategies for improved security features and governance, AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables organizations to deploy infrastructure across multiple accounts and regions. However, monitoring and tracking these distributed deployments across multiple accounts presents operational challenges. When a critical security baseline deployed across 50 accounts suddenly starts failing, teams face the daunting task of logging […]

This post is cowritten by Danilo Tommasina and Lalit Kumar B from Thomson Reuters. Large organizations often struggle with infrastructure management challenges including compliance issues, development bottlenecks and errors from inconsistent AWS resource creation across teams. Without standardized naming, tagging and policy enforcement, teams face repeated boilerplate code and difficulty accessing centrally-managed resources. In this […]

AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables organizations to deploy infrastructure consistently across multiple AWS accounts and regions. However, success depends on choosing the right deployment strategy that balances three critical factors: deployment speed, operational safety, and organizational scale. This guide explores proven StackSets deployment strategies specifically designed for multi-account infrastructure management. Understanding StackSets Deployment Fundamentals What are […]

This is a guest post written by Ramanathan Nachiappan from GoDaddy. In the world of infrastructure as code, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) has revolutionized how teams define and provision cloud resources. Central to its operation is the bootstrapping process, which ensures all required resources and permissions are in place to enable secure […]
