One LLM provider is a single point of failure.
Wrote a walkthrough on adding Microsoft Foundry as a multi-cloud fallback behind Amazon Bedrock in Hermes.
Covers CLI failover configuration, model promotion, and navigating quota/regional capacity gotchas:

Applied for the AWS All Builders Welcome Grant several times, got rejected every single time. Just found out I got it this year. re:Invent 2026 in Vegas, fully covered. Persistence really do be paying off sometimes.

Cleared PMP and CAPM back to back ✅

Was meant to sit CAPM first (trained back in May) but PMP revamped earlier than planned, so I rushed PMP and passed with 3AT. Sat CAPM after just for fun, zero prep. Easy if you've done PMP. 80 min left on the clock.

Passed the AB-100 exam. Bit of a wild ride though, took it because AI-102 was a stated requirement, then Microsoft retired AI-102 and replaced it with AI-103 partway through. Thought I'd have to take the AI-103, but my AI-102 is considered active, so all good

Hey everyone! If you are building with generative AI, you need a backup plan for when your primary model drops. I wrote a tutorial on adding a fallback model to Hermes using Amazon Bedrock to keep those apps running smoothly! Read it here: builder.aws.com/content/3Gzg...

I already have Hermes running against a model I configured on Azure AI Foundry, and to be fair it works. The catch is in the word "already": one provider means one point of failure. A quota cap, a thr...
