Run Strands Agents SDK's Swarm pattern hands-on and verify how agents autonomously hand off tasks to each other. Compare with the Agents as Tools pattern from the intro series.
Verified Agent Registry end-to-end: registry creation, record registration, approval workflow, and hybrid search via CLI. Measured semantic search accuracy, Japanese vs English query differences, and MCP endpoint consistency.
Measured Blue/Green Switchover downtime through RDS Proxy with psql. Compared against direct connection (26s) and JDBC BG plugin (0s) to quantify RDS Proxy's effect and constraints.
Hands-on verification of EKS managed node group warm pools. Measured Running 28s, Stopped 48s, and cold start 62s for scale-out, plus a 16-minute drain wait for reuseOnScaleIn. Provides a decision framework for poolState selection.
Verify S3 Files from file system creation to mount, bidirectional sync delay measurement, and read performance. Includes comparison with EFS, Mountpoint for S3, and FSx for Lustre, plus measured data for selection decisions.
End-to-end CLI verification of Route 53 Global Resolver covering Do53/DoH authentication, DNS filtering, and propagation timing. Provides data to evaluate whether the 20x cost premium over VPC Resolver is justified.
Deployed AWS Lambda Managed Instances and measured 67s provisioning, auto-distribution across 10 execution environments with multi-concurrency, and throttling under CPU load. Includes an LMI migration checklist.
Hands-on verification of VPC Encryption Controls Monitor/Enforce modes. Reveals that encryption-status 2 only applies to PrivateLink, Enforce migration takes 15+ minutes asynchronously, and VPC endpoint ENI migration can silently block the transition.
Ran Code Remediation on 7 pentest findings. All received GitHub PRs with accurate fixes — from parameterized queries for SQLi to full credential hashing refactors. NAT Gateway required for VPC-to-GitHub access.
Tested with no auth, single role (with 2FA), and multiple roles. Without credentials, the agent autonomously chained SQL Injection → credential extraction → TOTP guessing → admin login. Providing credentials via Secrets Manager enabled stable authenticated testing including 2FA bypass.
