Welcome to my blog dedicated to all things Cloud and DevOps! My name is Reyan Laifa, and I am a technology enthusiast, particularly when it comes to Cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices. This blog is designed to share my knowledge, ideas, and thoughts on these exciting topics!

On October 8, I had the chance to give a talk at KubeAuto Day Paris, organized by Cast AI at La Bellevilloise: “EKS Auto Mode: Is It Still Worth Making the Move?”. Thanks again to Cast AI for the organization, and to everyone who came by the Seven Mile booth. On stage, I promised to publish the full decision grid, with the sources.

Last week, on September 24, I had the opportunity to attend PlatformCon Paris on behalf of Seven Mile. The event was organized by WeScale and featured around twenty sessions. Unsurprisingly, the main theme was AI and governance applied to platforms: agents, security and automation.
In the opening session, Luca Galante explained that one team in ten sees the model as its main problem, while around 30% point to the infrastructure around it.
Creating AWS architecture diagrams can quickly become time-consuming… ⏱️
Between searching for the right official icons, aligning elements, managing overlaps, respecting naming and color conventions… you can easily spend several hours on a complex diagram.
I had already tested several approaches, including tools like AWS Diagram MCP Server. The issue for me is that it doesn’t allow modifying the generated diagram afterward through an interface. You have to create a new prompt and regenerate.
AWS re:Invent 2025, Amazon’s annual global cloud computing conference, took place from 1st to 5th December in Las Vegas. I had the honour of attending for the first time thanks to the AWS Travel Grant, a program that funds the participation of AWS User Group Leaders from around the world.
As a Solutions Architect at Devoteam, AWS Community Builder, and co-organiser of the AWS User Group Paris, this week represented a unique opportunity to discover the innovations that will shape the solutions we’ll implement for our clients tomorrow.
AI agents today open up fascinating prospects, especially when they are given access to external tools via APIs. This is where their full potential lies: we can now move from simple text generation to the execution of concrete actions on systems such as Cloud infrastructures.
In this article, I’ll explore how to deploy and administer Cloud infrastructures, such as Kubernetes clusters, in natural language, while guaranteeing security and industrialization.
Introduction So I asked myself the following question:
Last December at re:Invent 2024, AWS announced a new mode for managing Amazon EKS clusters: Amazon EKS Auto Mode. AWS promises that this mode simplifies cluster operations, improves the performance, availability, and security of applications, and continuously optimizes compute costs.
In this article, we’ll explore how this new management mode compares to other methods for managing nodes. This will help you assess whether it makes sense to adopt this feature to manage your cluster.
