In this post, we explore how Amazon ECS’s native support for blue/green deployments can be extended using lifecycle hooks to integrate test suites, manual approvals, and metrics into deployment pipelines.

In this post, we explore advanced implementation patterns for building highly available services on Amazon ECS, including idempotency, resilience to transient failures, static stability across Availability Zones, deployment safety, and chaos engineering techniques. The post provides detailed guidance on how these patterns can be implemented when deploying applications on Amazon ECS to ensure maximum resilience and availability.

In this post, we dive deep into cluster networking configurations for Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes, exploring different Container Network Interface (CNI) options and load balancing solutions to meet various networking requirements. The post demonstrates how to implement BGP routing with Cilium CNI, static routing with Calico CNI, and set up both on-premises load balancing using MetalLB and external load balancing using AWS Load Balancer Controller.

In this post, we demonstrate how to implement Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) fine-tuning of the dolly-v2-7b model using Amazon ECS. The solution uses a Ray cluster running on ECS with two services (head and worker) connected to Amazon S3, enabling efficient distributed training across multiple GPUs while abstracting away container orchestration complexities.

This blog post was authored by Olly Pomeroy, Senior Container Specialist Solution Architect at AWS. As organizations grow, enforcing governance and securing workloads becomes increasingly complex. Security and platform teams face the challenge of implementing consistent security controls, enforcing defaults, and applying best practices without slowing down application teams. Organizations need a comprehensive approach to […]

In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, containers have become the cornerstone of modern application deployment. As businesses increasingly adopt microservices architectures, the demand for robust, scalable, and secure container management solutions has never been higher. We’re thrilled to announce that Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been recognized as a Leader in the 2024-25 Omdia Universe […]

This post was co-authored by Henrique Santana, Container Specialist, AWS and Luis Felipe, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS. Introduction Many organizations have built their infrastructure using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Network Load Balancer (NLB), often with security policies built around the NLB’s static IP addresses. As these organizations adopt containerization and move to […]
