Today we are announcing the integration of AWS CloudFormation Hooks with AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI). This integration enables the use of hooks to validate the configuration of resources being provisioned through CCAPI. In this blog post, we will explore the integration between CloudFormation Hooks and CCAPI by configuring an existing hook to work with

AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to define, manage, and provision your AWS cloud infrastructure using code. To enhance this process and ensure your infrastructure meets your organization’s standards, AWS offers CloudFormation Hooks. These Hooks are extension points that allow you to invoke custom logic at specific points during CloudFormation stack operations, enabling

In today’s cloud-driven world, maintaining compliance and enforcing organizational policies across your infrastructure is more critical than ever. AWS CloudFormation, a service that enables you to model, provision, and manage AWS and third-party resources through Infrastructure as Code (IaC), has been a cornerstone for automating cloud deployments. While CloudFormation simplifies resource management, ensuring compliance with

Recently, Amazon Q Developer announced expanded support for account resource awareness with Amazon Q in the AWS Management Console  and the AWS Mobile Application.

Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the launch and general availability of Amazon Q Developer plugins for Datadog and Wiz in the AWS Management Console. When chatting with Amazon Q in the console, customers can access a subset of information from Datadog and Wiz services using natural language. Ask questions like @datadog do I have

AWS CloudFormation makes it easy to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code. CloudFormation templates can be written directly in JSON or YAML, or they can be generated by tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). These templates are submitted to the CloudFormation service and the resources are deployed together as stacks,

Introduction Software development is complex and time consuming. Developers frequently need to stop building to get answers to hard, technical questions. What is the error in my code? How do I debug the logic? Where do I go to find this information? In 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey 53% of respondents agreed that waiting on

Recently, we launched a new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) L2 construct for Amazon CloudFront Origin Access Control (OAC). This construct simplifies the configuration and maintenance of securing Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) CloudFront origins with CDK. Launched in 2022, OAC is the recommended way to secure your CloudFront distributions due to additional security features compared

Any organization that manages software libraries and applications needs a standardized way to catalog, reference, import, fix bugs and update the versions of those libraries and applications. Semantic Versioning enables developers, testers, and project managers to have a more standardized process for committing code and managing different versions. It’s benefits also extend beyond development teams

The release of Amazon Q Developer and its ability to be integrated into AWS Chatbot allows users who use Microsoft Teams or Slack to stay within their communication platform and interact with a conversational generative artificial intelligence (AI) AWS expert.
