Last year, we announced Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP integration with VMware Cloud on AWS, and introduced support for single-Availability Zone deployments. Previously, AWS Transit Gateway has been a requirement of the solution, providing customers with flexibility with connecting their file systems to their VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs. Now, we are excited to announce the removal of AWS Transit Gateway as a requirement from the solution. Instead, we are adding support for virtual private cloud (VPC) peering.

Monitoring and managing cloud-based resources is crucial for maintaining performance, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring the health of your infrastructure. Learn about the integration of Amazon CloudWatch with VMware Cloud on AWS with a focus on monitoring the workload of virtual machines. We’ll elaborate on the benefits of integrating CloudWatch with other AWS services as well as third-party services like ServiceNow ITSM tool and IBM Netcool.

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) such as AI21 Labs’ Jurassic models are reshaping how we engage with information. This post walks through using the Jurassic-2 (J2) large language model and how to consume the model via an AWS Lambda API endpoint. We’ll also discuss how to make calls to the J2 model via the publicly available Jurassic-2 Python SDK. AI21 Labs is an AWS Partner and leader in generative AI and LLMs, revolutionizing the way people read and write.

The advent of automated infrastructure provisioning and cloud-based remote backup and recovery solutions has empowered organizations to embrace advanced data protection and backup strategies tailored for cloud-native workloads. Explore the architectural design and considerations customers should consider before adopting AWS Backup using private interface VPC endpoints (powered by AWS PrivateLink) to protect workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS.

Enterprises undergoing digital transformation in the cloud are realizing the benefits of running their applications in containers. To help customers streamline containerized workload implementations, we’re excited to announce the Amazon ECS Delivery specialization. Amazon ECS Delivery Partners have technical expertise in assessing, scoping, designing, integrating, deploying, operating, and optimizing container environments using either Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or AWS Fargate.

By following the creed of “intuition engineered” while collaborating with Oracle and AWS, Cognizant developed the Cognizant Insurance Model Office for OIPA, a cloud-compatible DevOps solution to automate OIPA setup on AWS, and accelerate the development of multiple new business capabilities in-parallel. Learn how the Cognizant Insurance Model Office for OIPA brings a performant and productive policy administration experience to insurance carriers.

Customers who want to use AWS Outposts rack to build out their own hybrid edge infrastructure face complexity, as they need to prepare their environment to accommodate the router, switches rack, and power to connect their Outposts. Learn how customers can use many, but not all, of the deployment options to connect Megaport’s Fabric and Network edge to Outposts. These use cases remove barriers, simplify edge connectivity, and eliminate the need for additional customer networking devices for hybrid solutions.

With Amazon EKS, developers can easily deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications across a cluster of machines. As EKS environments grow and support critical business operations, securing these environments becomes increasingly important. Learn how Tigera’s Calico Cloud provides an active security platform with full-stack observability for containers and Kubernetes, and how to uncover malicious activity and protect your workloads in EKS using Calico Cloud.

Monitoring containerized applications can be challenging due to the isolated environment that containers provide. A comprehensive monitoring strategy is essential, including how to choose tools to collect and analyze resource usage, network traffic, and application logs. Learn how eCloudvalley leverages AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry to help customers centralize their monitoring in Amazon CloudWatch for their Amazon EKS environment.
