Terraform is in a unique position to not only quickly re-create infrastructure in the case of an outage, but also create sandboxed, ephemeral infrastructure environments for testing your Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy. This article will walk through some simple exercises you can use right now with Terraform to test your DR strategy. https://bit.ly/41H7Van

Yesterday's AWS outage, triggered by a single DNS failure in DynamoDB, was a powerful, and expensive, reminder: even hyperscale clouds have single points of failure. The cascade paralyzed 140+ services for over 15 hours. When an incident hits, real-time visibility is the only way to move past firefighting. As engineers, our first job is to answer: What is broken, and how deep is the impact? Full-stack observability platforms provide you with complete visibility across the architecture by enabling you with intelligent observability and the different practices to failover, monitor and stay vigilant with alerts. Learn how to make observability your non-negotiable defense strategy in the face of cloud failure from expert Jones Zachariah Noel N here: https://lnkd.in/dTn7tQUu #AWSOutage #Observability

I'm thrilled to share an innovation at AWS that will improve the resilience of your critical applications. Preventing downtime shouldn't require spending hours writing failover scripts or orchestrating complex disaster recovery, so we built Region switch in Application Recovery Controller (ARC). This is a fully managed multi-Region application recovery tool for cloud native applications. ARC Region switch automates recovery across multiple AWS Regions and accounts while giving you real-time visibility through native dashboards. What excites me most is how Region switch democratizes enterprise-grade resilience. Organizations of any size can now: ✅ Verify permissions, configurations, and capacity requirements automatically 🔄 Orchestrate Region failovers seamlessly 📊 Monitor recovery in real-time 📝 Streamline compliance reporting Whether you’re using an active-passive or active-active architecture, this capability enhances business continuity capabilities. Another step forward in our mission to make resilient infrastructure accessible to all customers. https://lnkd.in/gR5TfTMe #Amazon #AWSInfrastructure #Resilience #DisasterRecovery #Innovation #ApplicationRecoveryController

We’ve partnered with AWS to release a new library of pre-written Sentinel policies aligned to AWS’s Foundational Security Best Practices (FSBP). These policies are designed to make it easier for teams to adopt policy as code and scale secure infrastructure on AWS. Now available in the Terraform Registry and on GitHub. https://bit.ly/4mFwRZk

Demand for managed Kubernetes on GPU infrastructure is surging. 40% of GPU cloud customers want a turnkey, Kubernetes-native service. vCluster and vNode provide the architecture to launch your managed Kubernetes offering in weeks, not months. Virtual control planes give each customer their own isolated API server, etcd, and RBAC on shared infrastructure. No separate physical clusters to manage. Three deployment models for different service tiers: - Shared Nodes: Soft isolation for high-density serverless GPU workloads - Dedicated Nodes: Hard isolation with dedicated GPU pools per tenant - Private Nodes: True node-level isolation for enterprise customers No VMs. No hypervisor overhead. Just bare metal GPU performance with the tenant isolation and security your customers require. Launch faster. Support multiple service tiers. Maximize revenue per GPU. Stand apart from hyperscalers with infrastructure purpose-built for AI/ML workloads. Schedule a call to discuss how vCluster + vNode can power your managed Kubernetes offering: https://lnkd.in/egKS4pcX (Full technical architecture in the comments)

Most security tools weren’t built for Kubernetes—let alone multicloud. NGFWs fail to understand Kubernetes constructs. K8s tools don’t speak to IaaS. Service meshes don’t cover egress. It all adds up to security gaps and operational overhead. The Aviatrix Kubernetes Firewall bridges the gap. This infographic breaks down where traditional tools fall short and how Aviatrix simplifies, centralizes, and secures policy enforcement across your cloud-native and IaaS environments. 📎 View the full infographic: https://loom.ly/94wgTcM #Kubernetes #Multicloud #CloudNetworking #Aviatrix #ZeroTrust #CloudSecurity

⚠️ Outages are where architectures tell the truth. FireHydrant's Signals rode through an AWS outage and failed over cleanly, keeping alerts flowing and escalations on track. Each alert runs as a durable Workflow in Temporal Cloud: resumable, observable, easy to reason about. Read the case study: https://lnkd.in/gPi6t4iP

🚀 🚀 Major IAM Launch alert: New global condition keys that let you write policy targeting the AWS Organization, or AWS account(s) that own a VPC. This is awesome and means you no longer have to list all the different VPCs owned by an AWS organization if you want to target "all my VPCs" with a policy. This is such a better experience when building a data perimeter to help lockdown access to your resources to only your expected networks. We're so excited to bring you this! https://lnkd.in/gKcsCAux
