Cloud Architecture
If you had told me in 2024 that I’d be running production GenAI workloads on AWS Lambda, I would have laughed you out of the room. Back then, Lambda was for glue code, JSON shuffling, and maybe a cron job. The idea of shoving a memory-hungry, GPU-craving LLM into a 15-minute ephemeral function felt like…
For over 15 years, infrastructure teams have battled the “whack-a-mole” cycle of capacity alerts. The scenario is universal: an application leaks data, the array hits a 90% threshold, and by the time a manual snapshot is triggered, the filesystem is already read-only. Reactive infrastructure creates unnecessary risk. Aura-Ops was engineered to break this cycle by…
The traditional 3-2-1 backup strategy was designed to solve for hardware failure; the 3-2-1-1-0 rule is engineered to solve for adversarial intent. In a landscape where 94% of ransomware attacks now specifically target the backup server, a “copy” is no longer a recovery asset unless it is cryptographically or physically isolated from the production plane….
In my 15 years as a cloud architect, I’ve witnessed a recurring “Day 2” disaster: the degradation of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) into a “Ghost Infrastructure”. It starts with an engineer making a “five-minute fix” in the AWS Console to troubleshoot a routing error. That change is never back-ported to Terraform, and suddenly, your “Sovereign” environment is…
Having designed enterprise infrastructure for over 15 years, I remember when an Enterprise Agreement (EA) felt like a genuine partnership. You committed to spending millions, and, in return, the vendor gave you a break. It was a handshake deal: “You scale up, we lower the unit cost.” However, those days are dead. I was recently…
If you’ve been in the trenches as long as I have, you remember when backup was just “insurance”—a tape sitting in a truck on its way to Iron Mountain. Those days are dead. Today, backup is your last line of defense against ransomware, and more importantly, it is becoming the primary index for Data Security…
