Akash John shared thisAkash John shared this🚀 At re:Invent, we introduced the concept of frontier agents. Today, I'm excited to share that the first two—AWS Security Agent and AWS DevOps Agent—are now generally available: https://lnkd.in/gc5KpFbS Unlike traditional AI assistants that help with individual tasks, frontier agents work don’t need constant direction. These agents operate autonomously to solve complex problems, make decisions across multiple steps, and run persistently for hours or days until they accomplish their objectives. Here’s more on what these new class of agents can accomplish for your business: 🟠 We built AWS Security Agent with insights from operating security at Amazon scale and it’s changing how customers approach application security. Most organizations limit manual penetration testing to their most critical applications due to time and cost constraints, leaving the majority of their portfolio exposed. AWS Security Agent transforms penetration testing from a periodic event, typically covering a handful of applications on an annual or infrequent cadence, into a continuous, context-aware capability that increases the speed, frequency, and coverage of security testing across your entire application portfolio. AWS Security Agent operates like a human penetration tester. By ingesting your design documentation, source code, and architecture diagrams, it conducts context-aware analysis to uncover the critical vulnerabilities that matter to your business. In preview we helped customers like Scout24 SE, SmugMug, HENNGE, LG CNS, Bamboo Health, Wayspring, Classmethod, Inc., and SIXT gain deeper insights, faster, more frequently across more of their portfolios. 🟠 AWS DevOps Agent is your always-available operations teammate that resolves and proactively prevents incidents across AWS, multicloud, and on-premises environments. When incidents occur, it autonomously investigates root causes by correlating telemetry, code, and deployment data across your entire stack. It begins investigating the moment an alert comes in—whether at 2 AM or during peak hours—to reduce MTTR and quickly restore your application to optimal performance. We've helped customers such as United Airlines, T-Mobile, Western Governors University and Zenchef achieve lower MTTR and faster investigations, enabling 3–5x faster incident resolution. The frontier of AI agents is here. Check out our blog to start building.

I once saw a “certified” candidate confuse basic AWS concepts in an interview. That’s the gap. Certs can validate knowledge ✅ But they don’t build real skill. Real DevOps is learned by: ⚙️ Fixing production issues 📈 Scaling systems 🔥 Handling outages under pressure When servers go down, a certificate won’t log in and fix it. 𝐀𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀. At Tech-A-Break 2026, conducted by Natana at Technopark Trivandrum, our team stepped out of their workstations and into the arena — competing with some of the best organizations across the campus. The result? An incredible medal haul with multiple podium finishes and the proud title of Overall Championship – First Runner-Up. This wasn’t just about winning. It was about teamwork beyond projects, resilience beyond deadlines, and passion beyond the code. At H&R Block India, we believe high performance isn’t limited to the workplace. Whether it’s innovation, sports, culture, or community — our people show up, step up, and shine. Because we don’t just build great technology. We build spirit. We build connections. We build champions !! #TechABreak #Technopark #BreakingTheScreen #OwnTheStreet #HighPerformanceCulture #GreatPlaceToWork

Akash John liked thisAkash John liked thisToday marks the completion of my Post-Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership and Decision-making. This milestone represents more than coursework; it reflects growth, resilience, and a deeper commitment to leading with intention and clarity. What makes this one different is perspective. This journey wasn’t just about gaining knowledge; it was about sharpening how I think, how I lead, and how I make decisions when it actually matters. At the same time, I know this isn’t the end of the journey; I have one year left in my doctorate, and I’m continuing to push forward, learn, and evolve. Each step is building toward something greater than a title. It’s about impact, purpose, and the ability to make better decisions when it counts. Grateful for how far I’ve come, and focused on what’s ahead.

Akash John liked thisMy colleague is open to work and would be a fantastic addition to any team. Architecturally sound, 100% hands on, and a pleasure to work with!Akash John liked thisFollowing a recent restructuring at T-Mobile, I'm looking for what's next. Over 18 years (5 as an FTE), I'm proud of what became a long-running campaign to change how a large engineering organization thought about security and data responsibility. I will miss all those that rolled up their sleeves and helped have the hard conversations so we could plot a path forward. Thank you all, because you made the work so rewarding. If you valued my contributions, know that I'm looking for the next challenge and would appreciate any pointers to people that need my kind of help (whether they have a role today or not.)

Akash John liked thisAkash John liked thisMost engineers use Linux every day. But only a few really understand what happens when a command is executed. For Example: uvicorn main:app --reload (A simple way to run a Python FastAPI app) Linux does much more than simply “run” it. Behind the scenes, it: → Creates a new process using fork() → Replaces it with your application using exec() → Optimizes memory using Copy-On-Write (COW) → Tracks everything using PID & PPID These are not just low-level OS concepts. They are the same foundations behind: → Docker containers → Kubernetes pods → Modern backend systems Once you understand this layer, debugging, performance tuning, and system design become much clearer. Sometimes, going deeper into the basics gives you the biggest advantage.

T-Vault is built to simplify the process of secrets management. We wanted to build an intuitive and easy to use tool that application developers can easily adopt without sacrificing their agility while still following best practices for secrets management. It uses a few open source products internally including, at its heart Hashicorp Vault. Hashicorp vault provides the core functionality of safely storing secrets at rest and access control to those secrets. T-Vault builds on that base to provide a higher-level of abstraction called Safe. Safes are logical abstractions, internally using the concept of paths within vault. T-Vault simplifies the access management to secrets by hiding away all the complexities of managing polices.
A very intuitive web UI provides a nice layer of abstraction and hides all the complexities of managing paths, policies, token management, etc. T-Vault introduces two new personas, a 'Safe User' and 'Safe Administrator'. Safe admins will create Safes and grant access to individuals or a LDAP group or an application. Individuals with access to a Safe can use the web UI or API to do CRUD operations on secrets within their Safe.
When a Safe is created, T-Vault automatically creates the paths and boilerplate policies for that path. It also saves metadata about the Safe internally within the vault. Granting access to an individual for Safe involves associating user to the predefined policy for the path associated with the Safe. App roles and AWS App roles creation and granting access to them works the same way.
