The board liked the narrative because it sounded like simplification, and simplification sounded like savings. Then generative AI arrived, not as a lab toy but as a mandate. "Put copilots everywhere," leadership said. "Start with maintenance, then procurement, then the call center, then engineering change orders."

Blue/green deployments on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) have long been a go-to pattern for shipping zero-downtime deployments.

In July 2025, Amazon ECS launched built-in blue/green deployments. This allows you to operate directly within the ECS service, without requiring the use of Amazon CodeDeploy.
