Regularly, customers at AWS assign resources to create solutions that address common problems shared between businesses of all sizes. Often, this results in taking resources away from products or services that truly differentiate the business in the marketplace. The Solutions Builder team at AWS focuses on developing and publishing a catalog of repeatable, standardized solutions that can be rapidly deployed by customers to overcome common business challenges. In this session, the Solutions Builder team will share ready to use solutions that make it easy for anyone to create a transit VPC, centralized logging, a data lake, scheduling for Amazon EC2, and VPN monitoring. Along the way, the team reveals the architectural tenets and best practices they follow for the development of these solutions. In the end, customers are introduced to a catalog of freely available solutions with a peek into the architectural approaches used by an internal team at AWS.
