Disaster recovery with AWS managed services, Part 2: Multi-Region/backup and restore
In part 1 of this series, we introduced a disaster recovery (DR) concept that uses managed services through a single AWS Region strategy. In part two, we introduce a multi-Region backup and restore approach. With this approach, you can deploy a DR solution in multiple Regions, but it will be associated with longer RPO/RTO. Using a […]
Running hybrid Active Directory service with AWS Managed Microsoft Active Directory
Enterprise customers often need to architect a hybrid Active Directory solution to support running applications in the existing on-premises corporate data centers and AWS cloud. There are many reasons for this, such as maintaining the integration with on-premises legacy applications, keeping the control of infrastructure resources, and meeting with specific industry compliance requirements. To extend […]
Seamlessly migrate on-premises legacy workloads using a strangler pattern
Replacing a complex workload can be a huge job. Sometimes you need to gradually migrate complex workloads but still keep parts of the on-premises system to handle features that haven’t been migrated yet. Gradually replacing specific functions with new applications and services is known as a “strangler pattern.” When you use a strangler pattern, monolithic […]

Reduce Cost and Increase Security with Amazon VPC Endpoints
This blog explains the benefits of using Amazon VPC endpoints and highlights a self-paced workshop that will help you learn more about them. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to launch Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources into a virtual network that you’ve defined. This virtual network resembles a traditional network that you’d operate […]
Deploying service-mesh-based architectures using AWS App Mesh and Amazon ECS
This International Women’s Day and for Women’s History Month, we’re featuring more than a week’s worth of posts that highlight female builders and leaders. We’re showcasing women in the industry who are building, creating, and, above all, inspiring, empowering, and encouraging everyone—especially women and girls—in tech. Service-mesh-based architectures provide visibility and control for microservices (a […]
Deploy consistent DNS with AWS Service Catalog and AWS Control Tower customizations
Many organizations need to connect their on-premises data centers, remote sites, and cloud resources. A hybrid connectivity approach connects these different environments. Customers with a hybrid connectivity network need additional infrastructure and configuration for private DNS resolution to work consistently across the network. It is a challenge to build this type of DNS infrastructure for […]
Disaster recovery approaches for Db2 databases on AWS
As you migrate your critical enterprise workloads from an IBM Db2 on-premises database to the AWS Cloud, it’s critical to have a reliable and effective disaster recovery (DR) strategy. This helps the database applications operate with little or no disruption from unexpected events like a natural disaster. Recovery point objective (RPO), recovery time objective (RTO), […]
Multi-Region Migration using AWS Application Migration Service
AWS customers are in various stages of their cloud journey. Frequently, enterprises begin that journey by rehosting (lift-and-shift migrating) their on-premises workloads into AWS, and running Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. You can rehost using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), a cloud-native migration tool. You may need to relocate instances and workloads to […]
Deploying Sample UI Forms using React, Formik, and AWS CDK
Companies in many industries use UI forms to collect customer data for account registrations, online shopping, and surveys. It can be tedious to create form fields. Proper use of input validation can help users easily find and fix mistakes. Best practice is that users should not see a form filled with “this field is required” […]
