Successfully operating any workload in the cloud requires careful attention to cost optimization, and there are various benefits to running your applications on Kubernetes. Learn how the Harness Cloud Cost Management solution reduces waste with full automation and cost transparency using Cluster Orchestrator for Amazon EKS. Harness is an AWS Partner and modern software delivery platform that uses AI to simplify your DevOps.

Many IBM Db2 customers are exploring modernizing their databases by moving them into a containerized environment such as Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon EKS, or IBM’s Cloud Pak for Data. Getting to the end goal of containerizing your database takes a lot of time and effort. To streamline this process, IBM has developed a new utility called Db2 Click to Containerize (also known as Db2 Shift) to help customers move their databases quickly and easily from an on-premises Db2.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Amazon EKS support for IPv6 to scale containerized applications on Kubernetes goes beyond the limits of IPv4 address space. Learn how Blue Sentry Cloud solved scaling challenges using IPv6 on Amazon EKS. Blue Sentry Cloud is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and Managed Services Provider (MSP) that specializes in complex enterprise cloud initiatives.

Istio and Envoy have become key technologies in the modern application stack, especially for enterprises adopting Zero Trust security standards for microservices applications. Using standardized tooling from AWS and Tetrate, it’s easier than ever to fully integrate Amazon EKS and Istio into modern, declarative IaC deployment processes. Learn how to use EKS Blueprints with Tetrate’s Istio add-on to stand up fully bootstrapped clusters.

As the adoption of Amazon EKS for running Kubernetes clusters grows, customers are seeking ways to better understand and control their costs. To address these customer needs and shed more light on EKS costs, AWS has collaborated with Anodot, an AWS Partner that uses machine learning to autonomously monitor and alert on costs in near real time, and provides recommendations to help customers quickly resolve cost anomalies.

We are pleased to announce the new Amazon EKS Delivery specialization to help customers find validated AWS Partners that can help them implement their workloads using Kubernetes on top of Amazon EKS. The Amazon EKS Delivery specialization recognizes AWS Partners who have demonstrated technical proficiency to architect, run, and operate containerized workloads on top of Amazon EKS, helping customers drive success in their container-based modernization efforts.

Every SaaS architecture must introduce mechanisms and policies that prevent noisy neighbor conditions. Getting these policies right is essential to building a robust SaaS solution that delivers a consistent experience to customers. This post looks at the different strategies that can be used to introduce the throttles (transaction rate) and quotas (transaction volume) that manage each tenant’s activity, exploring the various AWS services that can be used to bring these concepts to life.

AWS provides a secure, reliable, and scalable environment for customers to run their container workloads. Customers running containers on premises are looking to move to AWS to gain agility benefits and reduce technical debt of managing their own infrastructure. Learn how Tech Mahindra transitioned a customer from an on-premises self-managed Kubernetes environment to a managed Amazon EKS platform with centralized self-service deployment options using AWS Service Catalog.

Today, many organizations trust Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host their business’s applications and infrastructure. As they continue to innovate, their applications and environments become increasingly complex. This post explores how AWS customers can leverage Gremlin to improve the resiliency and reliability of their applications. Learn how to apply chaos engineering principles to your Amazon EKS environment to increase uptime, reduce incidents, and build more resilient applications, systems, and services.

Amazon EKS and Calico Cloud’s combined solution provides proof of security compliance to meet organizational regulatory requirements, but building and running cloud-native applications in EKS requires communication with other AWS and external third-party services. Learn how you can apply zero-trust workload access controls along with microsegmentation for workloads on EKS, and explore what implementing zero-trust workload access controls and identity-aware microsegmentation means for you.
