In this post, we guide you through the process of migrating from AWS App Mesh to Amazon VPC Lattice, highlighting key considerations and benefits that this transition offers for your cloud infrastructure. We demonstrate how to migrate an IT Inventory Management System application from AWS App Mesh to VPC Lattice using Amazon ECS, with detailed steps for creating VPC Lattice resources, updating task definitions, and implementing blue/green deployment strategies.| Amazon Web Services
Generative AI agents in production environments demand resilience strategies that go beyond traditional software patterns. AI agents make autonomous decisions, consume substantial computational resources, and interact with external systems in unpredictable ways. These characteristics create failure modes that conventional resilience approaches might not address. This post presents a framework for AI agent resilience risk analysis […]| Amazon Web Services

Effective August 1, 2025, AWS will standardize billing for the initialization (INIT) phase across all AWS Lambda function configurations. This change specifically affects on-demand invocations of Lambda functions packaged as ZIP files that use managed runtimes, for which the INIT phase duration was previously unbilled. This update standardizes billing of the INIT phase across all runtime types, deployment packages, and invocation modes. In this post, we discuss the Lambda Function Lifecycle a...| Amazon Web Services
