In this blog post, we will show you how to build and deploy a custom solution to automate the process of provisioning users and groups from Microsoft Active Directory (AD) to AWS IAM Identity Center using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol. Introduction Many organizations manage their user identities using AD and rely […]

In this blog post, I will show you how Amazon EventBridge can automate Microsoft Active Directory (AD) domain join and unjoin for your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. In a previous blog post, I showed you how AWS Systems Manager Automation can dynamically domain join and unjoin EC2 instances manually. I have worked […]

For customers that have workloads in the AWS Cloud, a common use case is the provisioning of new user accounts in Active Directory, and subsequently, WorkSpaces for these new users. In this blog post, we will present an efficient and reusable solution to automate the creation, provisioning, and deprovisioning of Microsoft Active Directory (AD) user […]

In this blog post, we will demonstrate how you can set up self-managed licenses to be tracked automatically through tagging. Managing licenses for software running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is critical for compliance and auditing purposes. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a free tool, AWS License Manager, to help you manage your licenses. However, license […]

In this blog post, we will look at how to automate the rotation of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) credentials synchronized with Microsoft SQL Server credentials to meet password rotation requirements. Solution overview The IAM Access key and Secret access key are used to create a SQL Server credential; therefore, to rotate the […]

Our customers tell us they want a reliable way to copy data from Azure Blob Storage to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Sometimes data needs to be moved just once, like during a migration. While other times, it needs to be copied continuously, like in a data pipeline. What’s common amongst these requests is […]

In this blog post, we will show you how to create a documentation solution on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud that automatically generates and publishes a technical documentation website for a .NET project, based on source code comments, API definitions, and Markdown documents included in the project. Having a technical documentation website improves developer […]

In part 2 of this blog post series, we show how to set up a project in Amazon CodeCatalyst and collaborate on the coding, building, testing, and deployment of .NET serverless applications in your AWS environments. Consider reviewing the first post, which introduced CodeCatalyst. It explains the compute fleet options that are available for your […]

Thermo Fisher team designed a solution to pull business context data from Microsoft SharePoint and enrich data pipeline hosted on AWS to build sales and inventory BI reports.

CDK offers a high-level abstraction to define AWS resources using modern programming languages. Among its components, it provides aws-s3-assets, which is a high level construct that abstracts packaging AWS Lambda functions. The default behavior of this construct is to zip all the content into a folder and upload it to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. That works great for Lambda runtimes like Python or Node.js, which do not require code compilation, but for .NET, Java, or Go, which requires code compilation, you’ll need extra steps to restore external dependencies, compile the code, and publish the binary. This post will explore how to streamline building, packaging, and publishing .NET Lambda functions using AWS CDK.
