The point
Smarsh built a Claude skill from the AWS Agentic AI Lens, which exists only as documentation. It checked 150 best practices against a GitHub repository and produced a workbook in hours instead of days.
Why it matters
Builders can turn docs only checklists into skills instead of manual reviews.
Key details
- Lens covers 41 questions and six pillars: 90 High, 59 Medium, and 1 Low risk items
- With the skill, tests passed 16 of 16 expectations; without it, 8 of 16
- First review found no prompt injection screening and rate limiting as a TODO

The point
BMW Group migrated the platform behind more than 24.5 million connected vehicles from x86 to Arm-based AWS Graviton without service disruption. The recipe was platform-first, not big-bang: Karpenter for flexible node pools, dual build pipelines producing multi-architecture images, and dedicated Graviton node pools that workloads opt into with taints and tolerations, so any team could roll back to x86 with no rebuild.
Why it matters
A clean pattern for any large x86 to Arm migration: make both architectures first-class, let teams adopt at their own pace, keep rollback free.
Key details
- NGINX ingress CPU consumption dropped about 57 percent, and price-performance improved about 40 percent
- About $600,000 in annualized infrastructure savings; more than 65 percent of the platform now runs on Graviton
- The platform runs over 130,000 builds and deployments a day, which continued through the migration
