Sovereign Cloud Gets Real When Security Services Show Up

In March 2026, AWS Network Firewall became available in the European Sovereign Cloud. If you’re not paying close attention to the sovereign cloud space, that probably sounds like a minor service addition. I’d argue it’s one of the most significant milestones since the partition launched.

Patterns, Distribution, and Troubleshooting Your Claude Skills

This is Part 3 of a three-part series on building skills for Claude. Part 1 covered what skills are and why they matter. Part 2 walked through building and testing your first skill. Now we get into the stuff that separates a toy skill from a production one: proven patterns, distribution mechanics, and how to fix things when they break.

Your AI Agent's Memory is a Liability: Why Flat RAG Fails at Scale

I asked my agent to find a deployment guide. It loaded 47 documents, burned 23,000 tokens, and returned the wrong one.

Building Your First Skill: From YAML to Working Workflow

Welcome back to the series. In Part 1, we covered what Claude Code skills are, why they matter, and how they transform Claude from a general-purpose assistant into a specialist that knows your workflows. Now it’s time to build one.

What Are Claude Skills and Why Should You Care?

This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on building skills for Claude. If you’ve ever wished Claude could just remember how you like things done, this series is for you.

Agent Plugins Are the Future. But You Might Be Giving Away Your Best Engineering.

A few weeks ago AWS dropped Agent Plugins, a packaging model that bundles skills, MCP servers, hooks, and reference docs into installable units for AI coding agents. Two commands and your Claude Code or Cursor agent knows how to deploy to AWS, estimate costs, and generate IaC.

AWS Just Published an MCP Strategy Guide. Here Is What Actually Matters.

AWS quietly dropped a prescriptive guidance document on MCP strategies this month. If you have spent any time with MCP servers, you know the protocol itself is straightforward. The hard part is everything around it: how many tools to expose, where to host the servers, how to stop an agent from deleting your production database with inherited admin credentials.

From Zero to Knowledge Pipeline: OpenViking on AWS Lightsail

Most people building with AI agents hit the same wall eventually. Your agent forgets things between sessions. RAG retrieval surfaces the wrong chunks. You cannot tell why the agent picked what it picked. And every time you start a new session, you are re-explaining context that should already exist.

Prototype in Hours, Deploy in Production: n8n to AWS Bedrock AgentCore

Your team just got the green light to build an AI agent for customer support escalation. The architect says “CDK and AgentCore.” The PM says “show me something by Friday.”

CloudWatch Logs Just Got an HTTP Endpoint. That Changes More Than You Think.

Every time I set up log shipping from a non-AWS source to CloudWatch, the same friction shows up. Install an agent. Configure IAM credentials. Implement SigV4 signing. Manage rotation. It works, but it is a lot of ceremony for “send this text to that place.”
