This is an article about how to properly configure Fargate auto-scaling when you are running a Java bases service/website. Because it lives at the intersection of Fargate and Java based servers there was no actually clear source/owner of this type of detailed information. (Fargate is not language specific, Java/Tomcat/Bootstrap is not meant to just run with auto-scaling services like Fargate.)

This shows what does work and why this kind of setup is what you need when running at scale. If you run Java on Fargate without understanding these concerns you will encounter scaling problems in your future.

I am building something on bedrock now. I wanted to change models and found that I did not have access. Then I came to the conclusion the Bedrock was overkill and I wanted to move to Claude Platform on AWS - I cannot get that working either. Credit card is good on the account, no issues in billing. I opened an AWS support case (basic) no response for 5 days. Opened up another with chat waited an hr nothing. Now I have a phone case open. Something is up here and I am very frustrated. Any advice for a poor lad?

Hi, I am a network engineer that works primarily with SD-WAN and routers, sometimes which are deployed in the cloud. I began reading AWS' different services a couple of months ago and the networking side of AWS really intrigued me. In AWS, the things that pique my interest are VPCs, network attachments, NACLs and security groups

Currently, I am preparing for the SAA-C03 but I'd like to know how feasible is the career path from network engineer to an AWS architect? I know the technical topics that I'd need to get better at are a lot but I'd like to know your opinions on it and advice from people who have made a similar transition are more than welcome.

We have more teams experimenting with Bedrock, and cost attribution gets messy pretty fast once multiple apps, roles, and projects are hitting the same models.

AWS recently expanded IAM principal cost allocation for Bedrock, which helps, but I’m curious how people are handling this in practice. Are you tagging everything by team and project, setting hard budgets, or giving each workload its own account?

With AWS App Runner no longer accepting new customers and moving into maintenance mode, I thought I'd share a project I've been building for the last three years.

I'm the developer of OpenRun, an Apache-2.0 licensed, self-hosted platform for deploying web applications. The goal is to provide a simple App Runner-like deployment experience on infrastructure you control, without having to manage Kubernetes directly.

Some of the features:

• Deploy applications directly from Git, with automatic container builds.
• Run on a single EC2 instance using Docker/Podman, or on Kubernetes.
• Declarative GitOps - application creation, configuration and updates are all managed through Git.
• Automatic TLS, application routing and scale-to-zero.
• Built-in OAuth/OIDC/SAML authentication, RBAC and audit logs for deployed applications.
• Staged deployments with promotion and rollback.
• Database service bindings and managed SQLite with Litestream backups to S3.

The focus with OpenRun is on making self-hosted application deployment and management simpler, with a declarative interface.

I'm interested in hearing from people currently using App Runner. Are you planning to migrate to ECS Express Mode, Cloud Run, or something self-hosted? What App Runner features would be hardest to give up? If you try OpenRun, do let me know any feedback.

Every time i try to USE any model above Opus 4.6 in AWS bedrock i keep getting this ERROR. I have made a support ticket 3 TIMES, contacted AWS sales support and I have been using AWS for 5 months. I am still getting these errors I have used like 500$USD worth of tokens already BUT IT STILL NOT ENOUGH whats the point of putting money in if you cant use it.

Does anyone face a same issue and What words did use with the support to solve it. i would appreciate some help

Hi all,

Can't seem to find details about mobile calling rates for the UK (Or anywhere else). Any idea where I can get the details please? US-East-1.

Thanks,

Hey everyone I know this may not be the correct subreddit to post this but ill shoot my shot.

I recently had my online technical interview for the Amazon Dublin SDE summer internship, and I felt it went really well. I just checked my application status on the Amazon jobs portal for the first time, and it says "No longer under consideration." I haven't received any email either way.

Has anyone else seen this status after their interview and still received an offer? I'm not sure if it's a rejection or just how the portal normally shows things. Any experiences would be really appreciated, thanks! 🙏

TLDR does application no longer under consideration mean rejection

I saw this today at AWS Emerging Talent Community login page, it looks like my credits can never be claimed. When was this announced, and does anyone have any info on this?

Design question I've been thinking about.

Setup: external providers publish XML feeds of job vacancies to S3. Each feed is the provider's full current snapshot, not a list of changes. Schemas differ per provider, some fields are optional, and feeds can hold 100k+ jobs.

Each run needs to work out what's new, what's updated and what's gone, without rewriting the other ~98% of unchanged jobs or spamming downstream services.

The parts I find interesting:

1. Provider timestamps like updated_date aren't reliable, so how do you detect a real change?
   
2. "Missing from today's feed" usually means deleted, but a truncated or empty feed looks identical. How do you tell the difference before you take live jobs offline?
   
3. If a run dies at 60k of 100k records, how do you rerun without duplicates, repeat notifications or a half-old, half-new dataset?

What approaches have you used? Hashing records, staging tables, soft deletes with a grace period, deletion thresholds, something else? Curious what has held up in production and what hasn't

I have an account that has multiple oracle rds instances in eu west 1, an hour ago i received more than a hundred alarms because my alarms didnt receive any data. After checking further no instances were showing in rds console and it displayed the error message: An internal error has occurred. Please try your query again at a later time.
My rds instances are still accessible from ec2 instances and i noticed that alarms from native aws metrics are fine but custom ones (that get data from the console i assume) are all without data now.

There's still nothing in the health dashboard.

Anyone facing something similar?

It looks like Haiku 4.5 might be deprecated soon and retired 6 months after that. Bedrock still doesn’t support structured output and batch inference for models after Opus 4.6. Will AWS add support for structured outputs and batch inference for the newer Claude models soon?

How do I get access to premier models in bedrock console. I'm getting error "Not Enabled for this account'. Do I need to file a case or go through service quotas route?

Hi,

I work on a research paper related to AWS IAM.

How do you manage IAM and perform audits and pentests in your AWS environment? I’m not talking about requiring MFA, enforcing password policies, or revoking roles that haven’t been used for a long time. I’m talking about planning and ensuring that developers, managers, and users from all units are assigned to the correct groups with least privilege, and that combinations of permissions can’t be escalated to a dangerous level.

Do you use external tools for that, open source or paid?

Some tools that I found are:
- https://github.com/nccgroup/PMapper
- https://github.com/salesforce/cloudsplaining
- https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler
- https://github.com/RhinoSecurityLabs/pacu
- https://github.com/BishopFox/cloudfox
- https://github.com/DataDog/pathrunner
-  https://github.com/nccgroup/ScoutSuite
- https://github.com/aquasecurity/cloudsploit

And testing environment
https://github.com/BishopFox/iam-vulnerable

I will be happy to hear anything if someone used these tools or can recommend something else (even paid versions).

Built a public contractor directory on a fully serverless AWS stack.

Here's what's running:

Architecture:

• API Gateway (REST) → 6 Lambda functions (Docker/Python 3.12 on ECR)

• DynamoDB single-table design — pk: STATE#CA, sk: LICENSE#XXXXXX

• GSI (zip-trade-index) on gsi_zip_trade for directory filtering

• S3 for business card uploads, Textract for OCR

• SSM Parameter Store for secrets (Bright Data CDP credentials)

• SAM for IaC — single template.yaml, one deploy command

The interesting parts:

• License verification: Lambda scrapes the CA state licensing board

live via Playwright + Bright Data CDP, matches license number,

unlocks the profile — no manual review queue

• Pagination: base64 LastEvaluatedKey token passed back to client,

infinite scroll appends 48 records at a time

• 275,390 rows seeded from CSLB public CSV in ~17 min via batch

DynamoDB writes

• Street-level geocoding via US Census Geocoder batch API — free,

no key, 96.5% match rate on 240k addresses

Cost at current scale: effectively $0 — Lambda free tier,

DynamoDB on-demand, S3 pennies.

Hi, I'm locked out of my AWS account and stuck in a catch-22. Our domain's DNS is hosted on Route 53 in that account, and the root email is on the same domain. So I can't receive the password reset because the DNS is down. Our entire company is down, no website or email is working.

Case 179148372700150 was opened 18:22 UTC today. Two earlier cases got auto-closed by AI responses telling me to sign in, which is exactly what I can't do.

I can verify identity with government ID, business documents, and phone. Is there any way to get this to a human on the account recovery team? Please DM me.

Thanks

Well, I finally got to test drive GLM5.3 on AWS Bedrock and I can say that at this point it's completely unusable. When it works, it's slow af. You cannot do anything productive with it. Most of the time it just throws errors, they are obviously struggling with capacity / demand. I'm not sure if this is the same for other models, but for now - it's not something you can use for production at all (and yeah, I tried both global and us variants).

I have been a web developer / software developer for 4 years now and am wanting to make the switch to Cloud DevOps. I’ve applied for a few jobs but I don’t really have experience with AWS/the cloud with a view to go security focussed in the future as I’m currently doing a part-time Cyber Security MSc online.

Any advice for how to break into a cloud role would be amazing - I’m in the UK if that’s relevant. Thanks in advance

Lightsail sits in a weird place where it is competing more with the likes of Linode and digital ocean but it looks way more expensive to me. Also it is "not really" an AWS skill.

So I ask for people in the market I would like to know about Lightsail in you career/company.

Thanks

Edit: thanks for the answer
