Many organizations use third-party Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools (for example Wiz.io) to continuously detect and remediate misconfiguration from build time to runtime across hybrid clouds such as AWS. CSPM tools often use AWS resource tags to enhance their security and compliance monitoring capabilities. Tags are key-value pairs that you can assign to AWS resources […]

Managing high-performance file storage can be a significant operational and cost challenge for many organizations, especially those running compute-intensive workloads such as high-performance computing (HPC) or data analytics. This is particularly true for organizations with existing data lakes on HAQM S3 who need POSIX-compliant, high-performance file system access. HAQM FSx for Lustre provides a scalable, […]

Imagine a company like a movie studio, one that works with enormous volumes of video files, scripts, and animation assets. They store these files on a high-performance file system such as HAQM FSx for Lustre, a fully managed shared storage built on the world’s most popular high-performance file system. Each file has metadata, such as […]

Modern data lakes integrate with multiple engines to meet a wide range of analytics needs, from SQL querying to stream processing. A key enabler of this approach is the adoption of Apache Iceberg as the open table format for building transactional data lakes. However, as the Iceberg ecosystem expands, the growing variety of engines and languages has […]

Oracle databases typically see significant data growth which in turn increases backup, restore and database refresh times. The need to quickly backup, restore, and refresh large-scale databases is important for ensuring data consistency, business continuity, and accelerating testing and development processes. As more businesses migrate their Oracle databases to HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, […]

Organizations of all sizes face a common challenge: efficiently managing, organizing, and retrieving vast amounts of digital content. From images and videos to documents and application data, businesses are inundated with information that needs to be stored securely, accessed quickly, and analyzed effectively. The ability to extract, manage, and use metadata from this content is […]

Businesses use HAQM Elastic Block Store (HAQM EBS) snapshots to capture point-in-time copies of application data volumes that can serve as baseline standards when creating new volumes. This enables them to quickly launch application workloads in different AWS Regions or meet data protection and disaster recovery requirements. Security and regulatory compliance remain top priorities as […]

Large organizations and software as a service (SaaS) platforms often share storage resources across multiple users, groups, or tenants. The design pattern chosen to implement this shared storage can significantly impact how access permissions are managed at scale. This decision is key because it directly affects platforms’ security and ease of scale. A well thought […]

Healthcare and life sciences (HCLS) customers are generating more data than ever as they integrate the use of omics data with applications in drug discovery, clinical development, molecular diagnostics, and population health. The rate and volume of data that HCLS laboratories generate are a reflection of their lab instrumentation and day-to-day lab operations. Efficiently moving […]

Many customers are growing their data footprints rapidly, with significantly more data stored in their relational database management systems (RDBMS) than ever before. Additionally, organizations subject to data compliance including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are often required […]
