The NGINX Ingress Controller is retired. If you run oauth2-proxy with NGINX for OpenID Connect authentication, switching to the AWS Load Balancer Controller can silently break your auth. This post shows two ways to keep OIDC working on an Application Load Balancer: run oauth2-proxy in reverse proxy mode, or use ALB native OIDC.

This post covers how EKS Auto Mode handles VPC CNI optimization, pod density scaling, network security implementation, and hybrid connectivity.

In this post, we explain the benefits of using Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC) for improving application resiliency and why we built a built a Kubernetes controller to integrate Karpenter with ARC’s zonal shift.

In this post, we guide you through the process of migrating from AWS App Mesh to Amazon VPC Lattice, highlighting key considerations and benefits that this transition offers for your cloud infrastructure. We demonstrate how to migrate an IT Inventory Management System application from AWS App Mesh to VPC Lattice using Amazon ECS, with detailed steps for creating VPC Lattice resources, updating task definitions, and implementing blue/green deployment strategies.

In this post, Amazon ECS announces support for IPv6-only workloads, allowing users to run containerized applications in IPv6-only environments without IPv4 dependencies while maintaining compatibility with existing applications and AWS services. The new capability helps organizations address IPv4 address exhaustion challenges, streamline network architecture, improve security posture, and meet compliance requirements for IPv6 adoption.

In this post, we demonstrate how to configure Amazon Route 53 to enable unique failover behavior for each application within multi-tenant Amazon EKS environments across AWS Regions. This solution allows organizations to maintain the cost benefits of shared infrastructure while meeting diverse availability requirements by implementing application-specific health checks that provide granular control over failover scenarios.

This post explores how to implement progressive delivery using Amazon VPC Lattice, Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics, and Argo Rollouts for canary deployments in Amazon EKS environments. The solution enables gradual traffic shifting between service versions, real-time health monitoring through synthetic tests, and automated rollbacks if issues are detected, providing a comprehensive approach to safe and reliable application updates.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue AWS App Mesh, effective September 30th, 2026. Until this date, existing AWS App Mesh customers will be able to use the service as normal, including creating new resources and onboarding new accounts via the AWS CLI and AWS CloudFormation. Additionally, AWS will continue to provide […]
