Learn how to build CLI tools that extend themselves through natural language using Amazon Bedrock, the Strands Agents SDK, and Model Context Protocol. This post walks through a meta-tooling pattern where generated CLIs can create, refine, and version new commands at runtime—turning days of manual development into minutes of conversational iteration, all without touching source code.

Introduction AWS Elastic Beanstalk simplifies the process of deploying and scaling web applications. You upload your code, and Elastic Beanstalk handles capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto scaling, and application health monitoring. Elastic Beanstalk now offers AI Analysis to help troubleshoot environment health issues. When you request an analysis, Elastic Beanstalk triggers a script on the […]

AWS CloudFormation models and provisions cloud infrastructure as code, letting you manage entire lifecycle operations through declarative templates. Stack Refactoring console experience, announced today, extends the AWS CLI experience launched earlier. Now, you move resources between stacks, rename logical IDs, and decompose monolithic templates into focused components without touching the underlying infrastructure using the CloudFormation […]

Introduction Is configuration drift preventing you from accessing the speed, safety, and governance benefits of AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure management? Configuration drift occurs when cloud resources are modified outside of CloudFormation, leading to a mismatch in the actual state and template definition of resources. Drift tends to accumulate from infrastructure changes that engineers make via […]
