Field notes
What we learn delivering AWS engagements.
Practitioner writing from active engagements. Migration, platform engineering, AI security, and cloud governance — what works, what doesn’t, and why.
AI Security & Cloud Governance
The security gaps that appear when you add Bedrock to an AWS environment
Standard AWS security reviews cover infrastructure risk. They’re not built to catch prompt injection, overpermissioned model roles, or data leakage through RAG pipelines. Here’s what they miss.
Migration & Modernisation
What the AWS Migration Acceleration Program actually covers
MAP is one of the most misunderstood programs in the AWS partner ecosystem. Here’s what the funding covers, what it doesn’t, and whether your migration qualifies.
Platform Engineering & DevSecOps
Shipping to AWS without a platform: what it costs later
Most teams get their workloads running on AWS without running a platform. The distinction matters more than most realise until a compliance audit, a production incident, or a new hire surfaces it.
