What does the Cloud bring to Companies in 2021?
In business, the pressure on the workforce and responsibility keeps increasing. We have been in a pandemic for almost a year and many companies have been affected by the Covid-19 effect; many expect 2021 to be a year of recovery and improvement, to adapt to changes and take their businesses to another level. This is why to meet customer demands and work in real-time, companies have been adopting cloud computing. Cloud computing offers modern business advantages that include a
Quick AWS Region change
Happens very often that you have to manage an account with Console control. But when your infrastructure is multi region, you need to change the AWS_REGION environmental variable constantly and it is very easy to confuse their names because they don't change much, do they? Well, here you have a Teratip to make a descriptive variable change: Copy and paste the following function into your .bashrc file. function region(){
export AWS_REGION=$(dialog --stdou
Pending Pods: Limits in EKS
It is annoying to finally deploy our application in an EKS cluster to get the eternal “pending” state of our pods. There are several reasons that might get a pod in a pending state; most of them are related to computing resource limits, but some others are related to IP address limits in our worker nodes. However, reaching this kind of limit is an easy problem to solve. You can find the right type of instance for your Kubernetes workloads by checking this handy document provi
What Constitutes a HIPAA Violation?
Before cloud services can be used by healthcare organizations for storing or processing protected health information (PHI) or for creating web-based applications that collect, store, maintain, or transmit PHI, covered entities must ensure the services are secure. "For large organizations, the most common uses of the cloud are for hosting analytics applications and data (48%), hosting financial applications and data (42%), for operational applications and data (42%), and HR ap
We decided to see the glass half full, Goodbye 2020 Welcome 2021!
The world stopped. Yes, it might be a good way to start to describe it. We don't realize it or maybe we do, but we are writing the story of an unusual year. A year where for the first time in 115 the New York subway was closed. A year where the planes stayed on the ground. A year where humans took refuge in their homes and animals took to the streets. A year where pollution dropped for a while. A year where hugging with a friend or family member turned into an act of madness.

MLOps at AWS Re: Invent 2020
Swami Sivasubramanian's Machine Learning keynote was full of exciting announcements of new tools and features. While the vast majority of them are industry breakthroughs, we choose just three to show you how they empower data scientists and reduce the time to market of ML solutions. These announcements have a common idea behind: MLOps - avoid spending money and valuable data scientists time on infrastructure details to focus on the actual data analysis and model development.
INTERNAL WORKSHOP: KUBERNETES
"It would be good to give an internal workshop on all this that Kubernetes has been working on" Me! a junior! To give a workshop, I couldn’t believe it. I have colleagues with a lot of career and experience. Yes, Kubernetes and Fluxcd, GitOps, something basic to explain how it works and how it is composed, package it with Helm, and finally deployment automation using flux. Yes, me. At the age of 27, I have acquired teaching experience by teaching music, since I was 19 more or
Connect with an AWS Hero, our Hero!
Do you think you could have the characteristics or qualities that heroes have? Being a hero is an act of courage, it is facing fears, challenges, and possible failures. They are beings with supernatural powers that save people, communities, or entire countries for their courage and dedication to others. The hero, in this sense, usually embodies the most outstanding and valued features of his culture of origin. He has idealized abilities that allow him to accomplish great feat
Pipeline notifications in a slack channel via AWS bots
In these times of remote work and global teams, it's not always easy to know what's going on the other side. It could be possible that one team in Europe launches a pipeline just before leaving (while you and the tester's team, in the USA, are sleeping). If that day you forgot to check the pipeline's status, only when the tester's team starts the day you all will be noticed about a failure in the pipeline. As DevOps team we are responsible to create and maintain our CI/CD pip
