I recently had the opportunity to represent AWS at the FutureIT2024 Dallas conference held at AT&T Stadium. This is a significant networking event in the Dallas metro area, attended by 200+ IT and security executives and professionals, including managers, directors, VPs, CIOs, and other industry leaders.

As part of learning Gen AI, I built an app that ‘summarizes YouTube videos and makes them conversational’.

I built a solution to set up Disaster Recovery sites on AWS for Azure and GCP customers. After being used successfully by multiple customers and translated into multiple languages as blog posts, the solution became part of the official AWS Disaster Recovery Service (AWS DRS).

Here is the full story

Last year, I took on a new challenge to expand my technical impact by joining the Resilience Technical Field Community (TFC) at AWS as a Disaster Recovery SME. This role complemented my work on the Well-Architected team, where I engaged with several customers whose main workloads were on Azure or GCP. These customers wanted to leverage AWS Disaster Recovery Service (AWS DRS) to build a disaster recovery solution on AWS.

During my interactions, I discovered a significant gap in the AWS Disaster Recovery Service (AWS DRS) failback process (from AWS to GCP/Azure). The failback client provided by AWS DRS was not directly compatible with booting on Azure/GCP VMs. Many customers had to manually build a custom image on EC2 with the failback client before creating a compatible VM on the respective cloud.

This is an example of the blog posts I published on the official AWS Blog around topics of my specialty: Migration, Well-Architected, and Disaster Recovery. The blog posts below cumulatively received around 300k views.

Some of them were selected as the most reviewed across AWS Blogs. Some of them were selected to be translated into other languages due to their importance.

• I contributed to the original technical specifications of the popular AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) as a migration SA specialist.

• I then created the MAP Automator, which automates the manual on-boarding part for MAP customers. This expedited the on-boarding process by 70%.

• In a second iteration, and based on my customers’ feedback, I led a cross-org change in the technical requirements and created another automation that completely streamlined the on-boarding process and made it even faster.

• The automation I created is still part of the current MAP documentation and, since its release, has been used by 5k+ customers.

• This automation streamlined the migrations for many customers and created the foundation for the automation that was later used by my colleagues at AWS to expand further and integrate with other AWS services (e.g., AWS Application Migration Service).

• In 2022, I personally unlocked 100 migration opportunities using this approach, which earned me the title of Champion across all AWS with the most opportunities unlocked.
