Introduction Container images are stored in registries and pulled into environments where they run. There are many different types of registries from private, self-run registries to public, unauthenticated registries. The registry you use is a direct dependency that can have an impact on how fast you can scale, the security of the software you run, […]

Kubernetes users have been using it in production for years and it’s a great way to expose your Kubernetes services in AWS. We are pleased to announce that the ALB ingress controller is now […]

Kubernetes is a scalable container orchestrator that helps you build fault-tolerant, cloud native applications. It can handle automatic container placement, scale up and down, and provision resources for your containers to run. While Kubernetes can take care of many things, it can’t solve problems it doesn’t know about. Usually these are called unknown unknowns and […]
