Amazon EKS Pod Identity: a new way for applications on EKS to obtain IAM credentials

Introduction At AWS we are constantly striving to improve customer experience. For instance, we launched IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) in 2019 that allows customers to configure Kubernetes (k8s) applications running on AWS with fine-grained AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) permissions to access other AWS resources such as Amazon Simple Storage Service […]

Accelerate the testing and verification of Amazon EKS upgrades with upgrade insights

Introduction Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) removes a lot of the heavy lifting that goes into managing Kubernetes. For example, AWS manages the Kubernetes control plane on your behalf, including patching, tuning, and updating it as necessary. Then there are features such as managed node groups that give you a mechanism for managing the […]

A deep dive into simplified Amazon EKS access management controls

Introduction Since the initial Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) launch, it has supported AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) principals as entities that can authenticate against a cluster. This was done to remove the burden—from administrators—of having to maintain a separate identity provider. Using AWS IAM also allows AWS customers to use their […]

Deploy an Amazon EKS cluster across AWS Outposts with Intra-VPC communication

Introduction Intra-VPC Communication enables network communication between subnets in the same Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) across multiple physical AWS Outposts using the Outposts local gateways (LGW) via direct VPC routing. With this feature, you can leverage a single Amazon VPC architecture for communication between applications and services running on disparate AWS Outposts. You […]

Empowering Kubernetes Observability with eBPF on Amazon EKS

Post co-written by Shahar Azulay, CEO and Co-Founder at GroundCover Introduction The abstraction introduced by Kubernetes allows teams to easily run applications at varying scale without worrying about resource allocation, autoscaling, or self-healing. However, abstraction isn’t without cost and adds complexity and difficulty tracking down the root cause of problems that Kubernetes users experience. To […]

Enhanced VPC flexibility: modify subnets and security groups in Amazon EKS

Introduction With Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) users can modify the configuration of the cluster before and after cluster creation without having to create a new cluster. Before provisioning the cluster, users can define specific parameters like the Kubernetes version, VPC and subnets, and logging preferences. Post-creation, they can dynamically adjust various settings, such […]
