The Economics of AI Infrastructure: Understanding AWS AI Factories
Artificial intelligence has shifted from being a software innovation challenge to becoming an infrastructure challenge. Organizations no longer struggle primarily with model design. Instead, organizations are increasingly challenged by compute density, energy consumption, networking scale, and operational complexity when deploying modern AI systems. As large-scale generative AI systems become [...]
Deploying an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) Using Terraform
If you’ve tried building an ALB manually in the AWS Console, you already know the drill create a VPC, configure subnets, set up security groups, launch EC2 instances, create a target group, add listeners, and then double check everything because one small misconfiguration can break the whole setup. It [...]
How to Break Into Tech (With Security in Mind)
Let’s talk honestly for a second. If you want to break into tech securely, you need to think differently from the start. A lot of people say they want to “break into tech,” but very few think about structure, architecture, and security from day one. What they usually mean [...]
Stop Running OpenClaw on Your Laptop: How I Built a Secure Personal AI Assistant Using Amazon Bedrock
I'll admit. The first time I heard about OpenClaw and its features, I was obsessed. The idea of having an AI that could actually do stuff rather than just giving responses to prompts felt like living in the future. As a university student, it’s a given that I have [...]
Improving Application Security with AWS Security Agent
Modern software teams are very fast today. Code is pushed daily. Pipelines deploy automatically. Features reach users quickly. This is the success of DevOps. But security often does not move at the same speed. In many organizations, security reviews are still scheduled monthly or quarterly. Penetration tests require coordination. [...]
Real-time Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Redaction Pipeline with S3 + Lambda + Comprehend
In my previous article, I demonstrated how to use the Amazon Comprehend console to manually detect and redact Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from text files. While this hands-on method is excellent for learning the fundamentals of PII detection, it’s not practical in real-world, high-volume environments where speed and accuracy [...]
Are AI Engineers the New Full-Stack Developers?
Something has been quietly shifting in the tech industry. Job titles that used to sit in completely separate corners of a hiring platform are starting to blur together, and engineers on both sides are feeling it. The full-stack developer who's suddenly expected to integrate LLMs. The AI engineer who's [...]
The “Stateful” Video: Moving from Random Prompts to Semantic Consistency
In the early days of GenAI, creating a video was like launching a Lambda function with no database—every time you ran it, the AI "forgot" what the character looked like, what they were wearing, or even the laws of physics in the previous scene.As we hit 2026, the industry [...]
Reinforcement Fine-Tuning in Amazon Bedrock: A Practical Guide for Enterprise AI
Large language models are powerful, but power alone is not enough for enterprise AI. A model may generate fluent responses, yet still miss your company’s tone, fail structured validation rules, or produce outputs that are technically correct but operationally unusable. The real challenge is not just making models smarter, [...]
Don’t Install OpenClaw! (Unless You Read This First)
If you have been on Twitter, TikTok, or GitHub recently, you have probably seen the hype. Clawdbot (now rebranded as OpenClaw) promises something bold: a self-hosted AI employee that runs on your Mac Mini, has terminal access, and takes instructions through messaging platforms like Telegram. It sounds powerful. It [...]

Our Thoughts on the Beta Exam for AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02)

Our Thoughts on the Beta Exam for AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Mark your calendars! March 2020 is the expected standard exam availability of the new version for AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02). I took the beta exam this November in order to take a peek on the new technologies and scenarios that Amazon will probably add to the new exam version which they will release early next year. My Preparation [...]

IP Blocking: Use AWS WAF or NACL?

What should you do if you identified a series of malicious attacks on your application coming from a specific IP address? Will you use AWS WAF to block that IP address or create a rule in your Network Access Control List to deny traffic from that IP? It is true that AWS WAF can filter web requests based on IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, or URI strings, to block common attack patterns, such [...]

Longest Prefix Match: Understanding Advanced Concepts in VPC Peering

VPC Peering Basics In AWS, a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) peering connection is a networking connection between two VPCs which allows you to route specific traffic between them using either private IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses. A VPC peering connection can be created between your own VPCs, or alternatively, a VPC in another AWS account. You can also create an inter-region VPC peering connection where the VPCs are located in different AWS Regions. Amazon [...]

How to invalidate API Gateway Cache

To invalidate an existing cache entry of a request and retrieve the latest data from the integration endpoint, one must send the request together with the Cache-Control: max-age=0 header. If the recipient is authorized to communicate directly to the integration endpoint, then the integration endpoint will respond with the latest data for the request. This also replaces the existing cache entry with the new response. The IAM Policy that grants a client to invalidate [...]

Top 5 Free AWS Review Materials

Currently, the cost of an AWS Certification exam starts from 150 USD for associate-level exams and up to a whopping 300 USD for professional-level and specialty-type exams. For some, this amount is negligible but to many IT professionals around the world, this amount is relatively expensive. The official AWS Practice Exam ranges from 20 to 40 USD, which you can only take once (unless you shell out another $20 or $40 again in order to retake it). On [...]

Calculating the Required Read and Write Capacity Unit for your DynamoDB Table

Read Capacity Unit On-Demand Mode When you choose on-demand mode, DynamoDB instantly accommodates your workloads as they ramp up or down to any previously reached traffic level. If a workload’s traffic level hits a new peak, DynamoDB adapts rapidly to accommodate the workload. The request rate is only limited by the DynamoDB throughput default table limits, but it can be raised upon request. For on-demand mode tables, you don't need to specify how much [...]

AWS Lambda Integration with Amazon DynamoDB Streams

Amazon DynamoDB is integrated with AWS Lambda so that you can create triggers, which are pieces of code that automatically respond to events in DynamoDB Streams. With triggers, you can build applications that react to data modifications in DynamoDB tables. After you enable DynamoDB Streams on a table, associate the DynamoDB table with a Lambda function. AWS Lambda polls the stream and invokes your Lambda function synchronously when it detects new stream records. Configure [...]
