AWS IAM Roles Anywhere allow you to use identity and access management roles to obtain temporary credentials for workloads outside AWS. This minimizes exposed credentials, enables centralized access controls with AWS IAM, and provides granular permissions to virtual machines. Explore common use cases for using IAM Roles Anywhere for your workloads running on VMware Cloud on AWS and the relevant setup process on a virtual machine in VMware Cloud on AWS.

Spatial data creates data management challenges. Ellipsis Drive on Amazon S3 solves pain points: no scalable ingestion into a data lake, no interoperable searchability for analytics, no on-demand rendering. Benefits include scalability and time savings on management and transformation by automating ingestion and structuring; faster querying using patent-pending archives; and instant access to data to feed models and apps.

CyberCX built an AWS serverless data lake and data masking solution to enable using production data securely in non-production environments. The modular, AWS-native solution combines AWS services to mask sensitive data in near real-time while retaining data utility. This allows thorough testing and confidence before deployment to production, improving data security and accelerating time to market.

For applications running outside AWS, developers often create IAM users with long-lived credentials which can increase security risks. Instead, learn how to integrate AWS IAM Web Identity Roles with Microsoft Entra ID for centralized user management. This post walks through manual setup steps to register an app in Entra ID and create a role in AWS, and describes an automated architecture to synchronize Entra ID service principals and AWS roles.

AWS customers can run Kubernetes on managed services like Amazon EKS or self-managed options. To secure these environments, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) detects vulnerabilities and policy violations. Its findings can be sent to AWS Security Hub which aggregates security issues across AWS services. This post walks through installing RHACS on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, creating policies in RHACS, and integrating with Security Hub to view findings.

Industrial IoT adoption is increasing the connectivity of operational technology to IT systems, necessitating better visibility into assets. Claroty Edge on AWS Snowcone enables asset discovery to build an accurate inventory and identify vulnerabilities. Combined with Claroty xDome, this provides comprehensive IT/OT asset management and vulnerability insights. xDome integrates with AWS Security Hub to simplify deploying asset visibility and enable organizations to defend and secure their connected environments.

Winning and retaining customers requires thoughtful engagement fueled by customer data. While legacy customer data platforms (CDPs) aggregate data, they also create silos. RudderStack’s warehouse-native CDP built on Amazon Redshift provides flexible data pipelines to collect, unify, and activate customer data. This eliminates silos and establishes a single source of truth to enable teams to collaborate and create tailored customer experiences that drive growth.

JBS Dev modernized a national pet retailer’s legacy backend system to support its new mobile app. By leveraging AWS Lambda and other services, JBS Dev built a scalable, resilient serverless architecture which enabled faster innovation and integrated seamlessly with the retailer’s systems. The solution improved performance and reliability, delivering an exceptional customer experience. JBS Dev showcased the power of AWS Lambda and serverless to transform legacy systems and drive business growth.

NETSCOUT’s nGeniusONE platform offers insights into service delivery and user experience to manage availability and quality, reducing time to resolve performance issues by correlating metadata across network, applications, and devices. This post discusses implementing holistic visibility using NETSCOUT APM with VPC traffic mirroring and AWS Gateway Load Balancer. NETSCOUT delivers consistent, high-resolution visibility to identify and manage threats and performance in cloud environments.

To grow with AWS, partners can pursue Competency designations which validate an organization’s expertise through rigorous assessment by AWS experts. By meeting requirements around projects, certifications, and capabilities, partners can demonstrate their proficiency and earn an AWS specialization badge in specific industries, use cases, or workloads. Attaining an AWS Competency distinguishes partners, but the preparation process also transforms practices.
