AWS has expanded execution limits by introducing a 90-minute function timeout on AWS Lambda Managed Instances (LMI) for asynchronous and event-source-mapping invocations. This 6X increase from the legacy 15-minute ceiling unlocks complex batch ETL, media transcoding, Monte Carlo financial simulations, and AI reasoning pipelines without container re-architecting. #AWS #AWSLambda #Serverless #CloudComputing #DevOps #SRE #DataEngineering #FinOps #SoftwareArchitecture #EventDriven

Terraform is an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool by HashiCorp that lets you define and provision cloud infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. This guide explains what Terraform is, why it matters, and how to get started managing infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive cloud platform, offering over 200 services from data centers globally. This beginner's guide introduces the most important AWS services and concepts — from EC2 and S3 to IAM and VPC — giving you a solid foundation for cloud development.
AWS Security Groups and Network ACLs (Access Control Lists) are both used to control network traffic in Amazon VPCs, but they work at different layers and have distinct behaviors. Understanding their differences is essential for designing secure, well-architected AWS infrastructure.
