Deliver Namespace as a Service multi tenancy for Amazon EKS using Karpenter

Introduction Karpenter is an open-source, high-performance Kubernetes cluster autoscaler that automatically provisions new nodes in response to unschedulable pods. Customers choose Karpenter for many reasons, such as improving the efficiency and cost of running workloads in their clusters. Karpenter works by configuring a custom resource called Provisioner. This Provisioner sets constraints on the nodes that […]

Migration considerations – Cloud Foundry to Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate

Introduction Customers often turn to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to scale their applications, reduce latency, and deploy new features quickly with pay as you go approach. Let’s take the case of customers running hundreds of applications using Cloud Foundry Platform as a Service (PaaS). To achieve cost efficiency, customers can migrate to AWS container services, […]

Enable Private Access to the Amazon EKS Kubernetes API with AWS PrivateLink

Introduction The adoption and large-scale growth of Kubernetes in recent years has resulted in businesses deploying multiple Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters to support their growing number of microservice based applications. The Amazon EKS clusters are usually deployed in separate Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) and often in separate AWS accounts. A […]

On-premises egress design patterns for Amazon EKS

Introduction When adopting a Kubernetes platform, architect teams are often highly focused on INGRESS traffic patterns. Why? Kubernetes has a first-class support for in-cluster traffic flows as well as into-cluster traffic flow implemented by ClusterIP and the INGRESS constructs .The object model allows the load balancing of Kubernetes pods natively and also extends the constructs […]

Securing API endpoints using Amazon API Gateway and Amazon VPC Lattice

Introduction In microservices architectures, teams often build and manage internal applications that they expose as private API endpoints and publicly expose those endpoints through a centralized API gateway where security protections are centrally managed. These API endpoints allow both internal and external users to leverage the functionality of those applications. The separation of concerns between […]

A deep dive into Amazon ECS task health and task replacement
