AWS Lambda is a powerful serverless computing service, but it's not without its limitations. Here are a few key points to keep in mind: 1. Execution Time: Max execution time of 15 minutes per invocation. 2. Memory: Memory allocation ranges from 128 MB to 10 GB. 3. Deployment Package: Maximum deployment package size is 50 MB (zipped) or 250 MB (unzipped with layers). 4. Concurrency Limits: Account-wide limit on concurrent executions, which can impact scalability. 5. Environment: Limited control over the runtime environment and underlying infrastructure. 6. Startup Latency: Cold starts can introduce latency, particularly with infrequently invoked functions. Any suggestions/solutions for above limitations? #AWS #Serverless #Lambda #CloudComputing

Fantastic article by my colleague Sean Quealy on how a utility company can improve the resiliency of its emergency response systems. In today's world, it's crucial for utility companies to have dependable emergency response systems, especially during natural disasters. This article explores the challenges of mono-region/monocloud solutions and how higher resiliency can be achieved through refactoring applications, using Cloud services, and creating an API data service layer. Thanks for sharing this insightful piece, Sean! This is a great example of how technology can be leveraged to improve public safety. https://lnkd.in/gewB-CFt #digitaltransformation #EmergencyOperationCenter #Utilities #EmergencyPreparedness #cloud

Today, AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) announces the availability of two new scenarios, AZ Availability: Power Interruption and Cross-Region: Connectivity. The AZ Availability: Power Interruption scenario allows you to determine how a multi-AZ application will operate while experiencing the expected symptoms of a complete power interruption in a single AZ. The Cross-Region: Connectivity scenario helps you determine that a multi-Region application will operate as expected when the application cannot access resources in another Region. 

AWS Global Accelerator can help you achieve global-scale efficiency and resilience for your applications. This blog post provides step-by-step instructions and best practices for using AWS Global Accelerator to improve application performance, mitigate regional failover, and minimize latency. By optimizing your AWS Global Accelerator setup, you can: • Reduce latency for users around the world • Improve the reliability of your applications • Ensure that your applications are always available, even in the event of a regional outage Benefits: • Improved application performance • Reduced latency • Increased reliability • Mitigated regional failover For more details, read the blog post here - https://bit.ly/45lzRQZ #ApplicationPerformance #DisasterRecovery #AWSOptimization #LatencyReduction #Reliability #AWSInfrastructure #intuitivecCoud

Many #AWS customers agree that the use of Graviton instances for RDS and Lambda is a no brainer, but are reluctant to evaluate the use of Graviton for other workloads on EC2. Today you can simply evaluate the eligibility of your applications in a few minutes with Portal Advisor👇 https://lnkd.in/efiyKCM6

Overview of the AWS Well-Architected Framework with Daily Life Examples: 🔐Security👌: Just as you lock your front door, use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access to your AWS resources and encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit. ✅Reliability👍: Like having a backup generator for power outages, use AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and Auto Scaling to ensure your application remains available even if one server fails. 👌Performance Efficiency✔️: Similar to optimizing your car for fuel efficiency, use AWS Lambda to execute code only when needed, reducing idle time and saving on compute costs. 💵Cost Optimization✅: Just as you shop around for the best deals, use AWS Cost Explorer to analyze your spending and identify opportunities for savings, such as using AWS Spot Instances for non-critical workloads. ⛈️Operational Excellence🎈: Like automating household chores with smart devices, use AWS CloudFormation and AWS OpsWorks to automate deployment and configuration management tasks, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.

Fascinating talk about design. At scale. https://lnkd.in/ehHiqvGF "Join this session to hear about the latest AWS networking innovations that improve AWS infrastructure’s security, reliability, and performance. Hear from senior principal engineers about the new intent-driven control plane and how it facilitates the machine learning workloads that are underpinning the generative AI boom. This deep-dive session goes into the motivation for the control plane and network designs, characteristics of the system, and lessons learned. From designing and building custom hardware and software to developing the resilient systems that operate the network, discover what goes into making sure the AWS network is ready for all of your workloads." #aws #cloud #network #dive

AWS Fault Injection Service launches two highly requested scenarios! ⚡ The AZ Availability: Power Interruption scenario allows you to determine how a multi-AZ application will operate while experiencing the expected symptoms of a complete power interruption in a single AZ. 🔌 The Cross-Region: Connectivity scenario helps you determine that a multi-Region application will operate as expected when the application cannot access resources in another Region. Running these scenarios enables you to uncover gaps in your multi-AZ or multi-Region application, as well as gaps in your monitoring, observability, alarms, and operational response, and help improve time to recovery. #aws #resilience #chaosengineering #awsfis https://lnkd.in/dbk77eXi
