Serverless Jenkins on ECS Fargate: Part 2

When setting up a Jenkins build server on a physical machine, right-sizing can become a challenging task. Long idle times followed by high, irregular loads make it hard to predict the necessary hardware requirements. One solution to this problem is the deployment of a containerized Controller/Agent-based Jenkins setup and to offload workloads to dedicated, transient agents. This is the second post of a three-post series. In this series, I would like to show you how you can leverage AWS Fargate and Terraform to deploy a serverless as well as fault-tolerant, highly available, and scalable Jenkins Controller/Agent deployment pipeline.

Using AI to generate Terraform Code from actual AWS resources

The world is changing, with new AI tools emerging every day. One such tool that has been making waves recently is ChatGPT. It is only the first of many such tools hitting the market, and it urges us to think about the future of our work. I recently used it to help with a standard task that I often perform and was amazed by how well it helped me to automate it.

Restrict AWS Marketplace offerings with private Marketplace

People are constantly stumbling over the AWS Marketplace and their more than 30,000 public offerings. Restricting such a massive amount of products is mainly done with the necessary internal AWS Marketplace policy that you find in a document in document management systems like AWS WorkDocs. What would you say about better restricting the public AWS Marketplace with a private Marketplace?

Livestreaming with Amazon IVS

When thinking about live streaming, most of us will think about streaming providers like Netflix. Thus we are just consuming their media content like series or films. But what about offering live video streams internally, for your customers or others?
