SiteWise multivariate anomaly detection (GA July 2025) is the Lookout for Equipment exit ramp before the 2026-10-07 sunset. July 2026 refresh — when native ML fits, when SageMaker still wins.

July 2026: AWS Support is Business Support+ (from $29/mo), Enterprise (from $5k/mo), and Unified Operations — legacy Developer/Business/On-Ramp sunset 2027-01-01. What 24/7 third-party managed monitoring still adds, with an SLA scorecard.

AWS IoT architecture patterns for manufacturing, smart buildings, and connected devices — from device connectivity to data ingestion, edge processing with Greengrass, and real-time analytics.

OPC-UA → SiteWise Edge on Greengrass v2. July 2026 refresh — MQTT V3 gateways, correct collector component name, DPP closed to new customers, production hardening checklist.

TwinMaker still earns its keep when spatial context beats line charts. July 2026 refresh — SiteWise connectors, Dynamic Scene, AMG (not SiteWise Monitor), and when a 3D twin is overkill.

Karpenter replaces Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler with intelligent bin-packing and just-in-time node provisioning. This guide covers setup, consolidation, cost optimization, and production patterns for EKS clusters.

Monolith → Fargate without a big-bang cutover: containerize, ALB weights 10→50→100, keep blue 2–4 weeks. July 2026 cutover checklist.

AWS Control Tower automates multi-account management — setting up guardrails, enforcing compliance policies, and centralizing billing. This guide covers setup, customization, and production governance patterns.

Connecting your operational technology (OT) network to cloud-scale IT systems on AWS is the foundation of smart manufacturing — but it introduces serious security risks if done wrong. Here are the proven architecture patterns.

AWS IoT Core is the managed MQTT broker at the heart of most AWS Industrial IoT architectures. Here is how to design high-throughput, reliable, and secure MQTT connectivity for factory workloads — from device registration to message routing and cost optimization.

Migration TCO tools nail steady-state and miss the gap: dual-run weeks, DMS, DC egress, day-1 Config/GuardDuty. July 2026 — dual-run worksheet + MAP tagging note.
