AWS Goodies - April 17, 2024

I was at the AWS Skills Center in Seattle today to discuss Amazon's Culture of Innovation with a group of entrepreneurs from the great state of Utah!

After wrapping up I went to my office for a few minutes and by sheer luck ran into several of my Developer Advocate colleagues -- Darko Mesaro? , ??Cobus Bernard, Cobus Bernard , Stephen Preston , and Antje Barth :

Here are my AWS Goodies for today:

Cloud Security - AWS CISO Chris Betz published a blog post, How the unique culture of security at AWS makes a difference. In his post, Chris covers the four principles that are key to building a strong culture of security:

1. Security is built into our organizational structure
2. Security is everyone's job
3. Distributing security expertise and ownership across AWS
4. Scaling security through innovation

He also talks about advancing the future of cloud security, listing some of our most recent innovations in this space.

SageMaker Security Best Practices - Tom Burge of Cloudticity published a blog post, Five Best Practices for Security in Amazon SageMaker. After introducing the reader to SageMaker, Tom discusses Network & Application Protection, Authentication and Authorization, Data Protection, Threat Detection & Incident Response, and Compliance Certifications.

Deploying a Multi-Account Environment - My colleague Danilo Poccia tweeted about this new blog post: How SMBs can deploy a multi-account environment quickly using AWS Organizations and AWS CloudFormation StackSets. Here's what the post has to say about itself:

In this blog post, we will walk through the setup of a simple, secure, and scalable multi-account environment built using AWS Organizations?and AWS IAM Identity Center, and deployed using AWS CloudFormation templates. Using the solution in this blog post, SMBs can deploy a multi-account environment in as little as 30 minutes to streamline their AWS infrastructure.

And here is a sample multi-account environment, as deployed by the templates outlined in the post:

And that's all for today. Stay tuned for the next edition of AWS Goodies!
