Feature: AWS Native

Tighter AWS integration.

Overview

The Nova AWS-native feature meets AWS customers in the cloud they already use. Tighter AWS integration produces faster time-to-value for the majority of the customer base; the integration tax that competitors leave to the customer is paid in the product.

• CloudWatch native. Metrics, logs, and alarms flow from CloudWatch directly; existing customer investment preserved.
• EventBridge ingestion. Real-time event integration; deploy and scale events flow without polling.
• IAM-based auth. Cross-account role assumption; no static credentials; no rotation burden.
• VPC endpoints. Private connectivity; the customer’s VPC stays the customer’s VPC; compliance-friendly.

The approach

The practical approach: IAM-first auth, CloudWatch as the native data path, EventBridge for events, Marketplace for procurement. The team’s discipline produces low-friction adoption.

• IAM-first authentication. Cross-account roles; the customer never hands over a static credential; rotation is AWS’s problem.
• CloudWatch native. Metrics, logs, traces flow directly; the customer’s existing dashboards keep working.
• EventBridge for events. Real-time event integration; deploy events, alert events, scale events all flow without polling.
• VPC endpoints. Private connectivity; supports air-gapped and regulated customer requirements.
• Marketplace listing. AWS Marketplace procurement; enterprise procurement teams already know how to buy through it.

Why this compounds

AWS-native discipline compounds across customers. Each AWS-using customer adopts faster; the team’s AWS expertise grows; the moat against generic-cloud competitors deepens.

• Faster customer adoption. AWS-using customers adopt without complex setup; time-to-value drops from weeks to days.
• Better security posture. IAM-based auth removes credential rotation burden; the attack surface shrinks.
• Compliance support. VPC endpoints and Marketplace match enterprise requirements; opens regulated markets.
• Team expertise. Each integration grows AWS knowledge; the team becomes the cross-cloud experts customers need.

The AWS-native feature is an infrastructure investment that pays off across years. Nova AI Ops integrates with AWS as a first-class platform.
