I have been on the ground in many different phases of cloud migrations and have witnessed the many perils associated. In this post, I will talk about the different issues I have experienced first hand with customers going through a cloud migration.

CDK, CloudFormation, and Terraform are frameworks for managing cloud infrastructure using code. In this post, we will look at these options, compare and contrast them, and discuss what types of organizations should use take which approach.

Modern, best of breed, continuous integration tools allow developers to define their delivery pipeline as code and store it in the repository alongside the application source code. Doing so allows you to manage your pipeline much like you would your application source code. In this post, we will go over how to accomplish this using AWS CodeCommit, AWS Lambda, AWS CodePipeline, and AWS CloudFormation. This approach will also enable branch-based builds for CodePipeline, a large gap in the CodePipeline feature set currently.

Easily automate the backup of EBS Snapshots with AWS Data Lifecycle Manager and replicate to another region.

AWS CodePipeline can help you rid yourself of build servers which take resources to manage and are at risk of outages affecting multiple teams. In this post, we will discuss replacing your existing CI server with a serverless solution.

Override cd command to run garbage collection on your git repositories

For those situations where you just need to push your code somewhere.
