Multi-region disaster recovery for Amazon API Gateway WebSocket APIs
Learn how to build multi-region disaster recovery for Amazon API Gateway WebSocket APIs. This design pattern combines Amazon Route 53 DNS failover, Amazon DynamoDB Global Tables, a canary health probe, and client-side reconnection logic to reconnect clients and restore session state automatically during a regional failover.
Scope workloads and share resilience policies with AWS Resilience Hub
The next generation of AWS Resilience Hub adds three capabilities to keep workload scope and resilience requirements aligned with your running environment: Amazon EKS label support for service input sources, generative AI-powered Dependency Insights, and resilience policy sharing through AWS Organizations.
Bulk Executor for Amazon DynamoDB, Part 2: Lessons we learned the hard way
In Part 2 of our Bulk Executor for Amazon DynamoDB series, we share how we built the tool: the design tradeoffs, surprises, and workarounds we hit while working with DynamoDB and AWS Glue. Consider it a travel guide for anyone building their own bulk tooling on AWS Glue.
Agentic antimicrobial resistance surveillance with AWS HealthOmics and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
This post presents a reference architecture that turns public sequencing data into plain-language answers about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. It pairs AWS HealthOmics for managed genomics processing with a grounded Amazon Bedrock AgentCore agent, so researchers can ask questions without writing bioinformatics code or SQL.
Deploy Oracle Database step by step on Amazon EVS with FSx for ONTAP
This post provides step-by-step procedures to deploy Oracle Database on Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as NFS datastore storage. You provision storage volumes, mount NFS datastores, install Oracle, and configure SnapMirror replication for cross-region disaster recovery.
Architect highly available Oracle Database on Amazon EVS and FSx for ONTAP
Learn how to architect a highly available Oracle Database environment on Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. This post covers EC2 bare metal instance selection, vSAN and FSx storage tiering, NSX networking, and SnapMirror cross-region disaster recovery for enterprises preserving their VMware operational tooling.
Deploy open source Regional availability tools in your VPC
Deploy AWS Regional availability data as infrastructure you own. Capability Insights for AWS runs a self-hosted dashboard in your VPC that auto-refreshes daily, and Workload Analysis narrows the catalog to the services your account actually runs, so your Regional expansion gap analysis focuses only on what you deploy.
Running multi-day AZ evacuation drills with ARC Zonal Shift
Prove your multi-AZ architecture can sustain a real impairment. This post shows how to run a multi-day (48-72 hour) Availability Zone evacuation drill with ARC Zonal Shift across Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, with step-by-step CLI commands, prerequisites, observability metrics, and restore procedures.
Build adaptive AI interfaces with the AG-UI protocol, agent swarms, and Nova Act on AWS
Learn how to build AI interfaces that automatically adapt to your agents’ variable outputs, using the AG-UI protocol for dynamic UI generation, the Strands Agents SDK swarm pattern for explainable multi-agent collaboration, and Amazon Nova Act to integrate legacy systems that lack APIs.
Building cloud-native PACS on AWS
A hybrid cloud architecture pattern for modernizing medical imaging on AWS. Learn how multi-hospital networks can centralize PACS archives, enable cross-facility interoperability, and use Amazon S3 storage tiers to manage cost and retention at scale.
