Global Accelerator charges about $0.025 per provisioned accelerator per hour, even while disabled, and adds Data Transfer-Premium on top of normal data transfer. Two static Anycast IPv4 addresses (or four addresses in dual-stack: two IPv4 and two IPv6) front ALBs, NLBs, EC2, or EIPs across Regions; that pricing model changes whether you beat CloudFront or Route 53 latency records alone.
Palaniappan PMay 2026 guidance with a reproducible scaffold: 9 artefact files, 0 Terraform-managed creates at plan baseline, anchored to official OpenTofu, HashiCorp, and Ansible project documentation.
Palaniappan PThe official aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws repo ships 43 atomic Agent Skills across 13 category folders, plus aws-core, aws-agents, and aws-data-analytics plugins. This guide covers why that bundle matters for IAM and audit posture, how the tree fits together, and how to pair it with the May 6, 2026 GA AWS MCP Server.
Palaniappan POn May 6, 2026, AWS made its managed MCP server generally available in 2 regions, with IAM guardrails, CloudWatch metrics, and CloudTrail logging, while the March 25, 2026 Agent Plugin for AWS Serverless brought packaged SAM/CDK skills into Cursor and Claude Code.
Palaniappan PA guide to microservices patterns on AWS: what to use, what to skip, and what changed in 2026 (App Mesh EOL, VPC Lattice, Powertools idempotency, Step Functions sagas).

Manoj V.AWS just made OpenAI's frontier models, Codex, and production-ready Managed Agents available inside Amazon Bedrock, wrapped in IAM, PrivateLink, Guardrails, and CloudTrail. This is what changes for CTOs evaluating OpenAI direct vs. AWS.
Palaniappan PMost teams buy Bedrock Provisioned Throughput too early or too late. This is the break-even math, by token volume, model family, and traffic shape, that we use in real FinOps engagements to decide which Bedrock pricing mode wins.
Kevin W.As of July 2026, Lambda S3 Files still mounts S3 as POSIX via NFS, at roughly S3 Standard storage rates vs EFS for large files. Versioning is required, IAM is s3files:*, capacity providers are incompatible, and a ~60s write-back window breaks naive ports.
Manoj V.Bedrock Automated Reasoning checks ground LLM outputs against formal logic policies you encode and mathematically validate that the response is consistent with the policy. This guide covers when to use Automated Reasoning vs contextual grounding, how to author the policy in production, the integration with Bedrock Guardrails, and the regulated use cases (HR, insurance, eligibility, regulatory determinations) where the difference matters.
