Automated password Rotation for Aurora PostgreSQL using SecretManager & Custom Lambda
Introduction Managing database credentials is one of the most critical — and often neglected — aspects of cloud security. Static passwords that never change create a large attack surface: a single leaked credential can give an attacker persistent access to production data. AWS Secrets Manager addresses this by managing the full lifecycle of database credentials: storing them encrypted, distributing them to applications, and rotating them automatically on a schedule. When comb

Why 95% of enterprise AI projects fail and what the other 5% do differently
Why 95% of enterprise AI projects fail and what the other 5% do differently An MIT study published in 2025 as State of AI in Business, built on 300 public implementations, 52 executive interviews and 153 survey responses, found that 95% of organizations record no measurable return on their P&L, despite enterprise investment in generative AI estimated at between 30 and 40 billion dollars. Over the same period, global corporate investment in AI reached 581.7 billion dollars dur

How to Automate a Jira Cloud Backlog Using APIs and Templates
Detailed guide: This runbook explains how to automatically create a Jira Cloud backlog or board using the REST API and a file-versioned template. The main benefit is simple: Jira supports advanced project templates, but that capability may depend on paid features or plans, such as Enterprise options or centralized template administration. When a team does not have access to that feature, it can still automate a large part of the work using the Jira API, as long as the project

Using IAM Roles Anywhere instead of IAM Keys
Introduction In hybrid and multi-cloud environments, one of the biggest challenges is enabling secure access to cloud resources without relying on static credentials such as IAM access keys. As organizations integrate on-premises workloads, edge devices, and services running in other clouds with AWS, identity management becomes a critical piece of the architecture. AWS IAM Roles Anywhere addresses this challenge by allowing systems outside of AWS to authenticate using X.509 c

Enhancing Your API Security with CloudFront and AWS Managed Prefix Lists
Introduction When deploying APIs on AWS using Application Load Balancers (ALB), it is common to configure Security Groups to allow HTTP/HTTPS traffic from any source (0.0.0.0/0). While this works, it violates the principle of least privilege and exposes your infrastructure to unnecessary risks . In this article, I’ll show you how to improve your API security by using CloudFront as a distribution layer and restricting access to your ALB so that it only accepts traffic from Cl

AWS DevOps Agent — When Operations Stop Being Reactive
For years, DevOps teams have been told the same story: automate everything you can, design for failure, and aim for operational excellence. The guidance is solid. The reality, however, has been harder. Modern systems are no longer simple stacks you can reason about from a single dashboard. They are living environments: multiple AWS accounts, distributed services, continuous deployments, third-party integrations, and teams shipping changes daily. When something breaks, the pro

Azure DevOps to AWS with AWS Toolkit + Service Connection
Based on a real project implementation + official references Azure DevOps does NOT support native OIDC federation to AWS. Even though it can theoretically issue a token: It cannot be used for write operations It does NOT work with SigV4 It is NOT an officially supported method by AWS Therefore: We had to install the AWS Toolkit. We had to create an AWS Service Connection. Only then Azure Pipelines could write to AWS (ECR/Mira, S3, Terraform, etc.). This is exactly what we i
