Prevent EC2 Downtime: Setting Up Status Check Alarms to Auto-Reboot an Amazon EC2 Instance

2025-10-05T00:49:10+00:00

When you’re running a production website on an EC2 instance, the last thing you want is for it to unexpectedly go down while you’re focused on other tasks. Without the right monitoring in place, you might not even realize your site has been offline for a while, and repeated downtimes like this are unacceptable for any production application. If you’ve faced this issue before or just want to be prepared so it doesn’t happen to you, then you’re in the right place. In this article, I’ll show you a simple way to automate recovery with CloudWatch so your site stays [...]

Career Shift to Cloud Engineering: The Skills I’m Learning First

2025-09-20T12:04:51+00:00

When I first decided to shift my career to cloud engineering, I had zero tech background. I didn’t study IT, didn’t know programming, and felt completely lost when terms like Linux, Python, SQL, and GitHub started popping up everywhere. At first, I even questioned whether I could really do this. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to be a genius to learn cloud engineering. You just need curiosity, consistency, and the right tools to practice hands-on. For me, two resources made all the difference: TechKubo, which offers browser-based playgrounds for Linux, Python, and SQL, and Tutorials Dojo, which provides [...]

The AWS AI Ripple: Compute, Services, and Generative Intelligence

2025-09-12T09:08:43+00:00

In 2006, building AI required a PhD and a million-dollar lab. In 2024, it requires a laptop and a $5 AWS credit. Before, training a neural network was something only elite research labs with specialized hardware could accomplish. Now, anyone with curiosity and an internet connection can spin up AI models rivaling what Fortune 500 companies built just five years ago. That transformation was driven by Amazon Web Services (AWS) through three strategic waves of innovation: Compute Foundation, AI as a Service, and Generative Intelligence. The AWS AI Ripple. While most tech giants built AI for themselves, AWS built the [...]
