If you’re attending AWS re:Invent 2024 with the goal of improving your organization’s cloud resilience operations, we will be offering valuable insights, best practices, and fun activities to improve your cloud resilience expertise. This year, we’re offering more than 100 resilience breakout sessions, workshops, chalk talks, builders’ sessions, and code talks. Find the complete list in the re:Invent 2024 session catalog and filter by “Resilience” in the area of interest field. In this post, we highlight must-see sessions for those building resilient applications and architectures on AWS. Reserved seating is now open, so act quickly to claim your seat. Be sure to also check out the vertical-specific re:Invent guides.

As part of the re:Invent 2023 keynote, Dr. Werner Vogels introduced the Frugal Architect mindset. This mindset emphasizes the importance of continuous learning, curiosity, and regular revision of architectural choices with a focus on cost and sustainability. Cost and sustainability should be treated as critical non-functional requirements, alongside factors like security, compliance, and performance. The […]

AWS re:Invent 2022 featured 24 breakout sessions, chalk talks, and workshops on sustainability. In this blog post, we’ll highlight the sessions and announcements and discuss their relevance to the sustainability of, in, and through the cloud. First, we’ll look at AWS’ initiatives and progress toward delivering efficient, shared infrastructure, water stewardship, and sourcing renewable power. […]

During the design of distributed systems, we have to identify a communication strategy to exchange information between different services while keeping the evolutionary nature of the architecture in mind. Event-driven architectures are based on events (facts that happened in a system), which are asynchronously exchanged to implement communication across different services while having a high […]

At our recent annual AWS re:Invent 2021 conference, we had important announcements regarding sustainability, including the new Sustainability Pillar for AWS Well-Architected Framework and the AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool. In this blog post, I highlight services and features from these announcements to help you design and optimize your AWS workloads from a sustainability perspective. […]

This year, AWS customers took on sustainability challenges, including energy efficient building management, environmental and social governance reporting, and near-real-time renewable energy plant monitoring. Underscoring these unique and compelling projects is a need to understand, at the developer level, how to architect sustainably. So, this year, we’re excited to share sustainability content at re:Invent to […]

Glenn Gore here, Chief Architect for AWS. I was in Las Vegas last week — with 43K others — for re:Invent 2017. I checked in to the Architecture blog here and here with my take on what was interesting about some of the bigger announcements from a cloud-architecture perspective. In the excitement of so many new services […]

GREETINGS FROM LAS VEGAS Glenn Gore here, Chief Architect for AWS. I’m in Las Vegas this week — with 43K others — for re:Invent 2017. We have a lot of exciting announcements this week. I’m going to post to the AWS Architecture blog each day with my take on what’s interesting about some of the […]

We previously wrote about how Route 53 organizes software deployments. We thought it’d be worthwhile to highlight an architecture track talk at AWS re:Invent 2014. In this talk, Chris Munns, AWS Solutions Architect discusses various deployment techniques and some of the new AWS services customers can leverage to improve their deployment strategies. A useful reference […]
