How to leverage Application Load Balancer’s advanced request routing to route application traffic across multiple Amazon EKS clusters

Introduction The AWS Load Balancer Controller is a Kubernetes Special Interest Group (SIG) project, which enables organizations reduce their Kubernetes compute costs and the complexity of their application routing configuration. As you deploy workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), the controller simplifies exposing those applications by automating the provisioning and management and configuration […]

Network Load Balancers now support Security groups

Introduction At AWS, we offer security from the get-go by providing you the ability to use Security Groups and Security Group rules to configure the fine-grained control over the traffic that flows to and from AWS resources such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, AWS Databases, Application Load Balancers, and Containers. On August […]

Securing Kubecost access with Amazon Cognito

Introduction Kubecost provides real-time cost visibility and insights for teams using Kubernetes. It has an intuitive dashboard to help you understand and analyze the costs of running your workloads in a Kubernetes cluster. Kubecost is built on OpenCost, which was recently accepted as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox project, and is actively supported […]

A deeper look at Ingress Sharing and Target Group Binding in AWS Load Balancer Controller

Introduction AWS Load Balancer Controller is a Kubernetes controller that integrates Application Load Balancers (ALB) and Network Load Balancers (NLB) with Kubernetes workloads. It allows you to configure and manage load balancers using Kubernetes Application Programming Interface (API). Based on our conversations with customers, we identified two AWS Load Balancer Controller features that need further […]

Edit: 02 JUN 2023: The sample has been updated according to the EKS Blueprint V5 Migration Edit 06 October 2023: Upgrade the blog and sample to use gitops-bridge-argocd-bootstrap integration Introduction Organizations use modern application development approaches, such as microservices, to increase innovation, performance, security, and reliability. However, when working with legacy deployment systems, it can […]

Exposing Kubernetes Applications, Part 3: Ingress-Nginx Controller

Introduction The Exposing Kubernetes Applications series focuses on ways to expose applications running in a Kubernetes cluster for external access. In Part 1, we explored Service and Ingress resource types that define two ways to control the inbound traffic in a Kubernetes cluster. We discussed handling of these resource types via Service and Ingress controllers, […]

Running Workload on Amazon EKS in Local Zones with resilient architecture

Running Workload on Amazon EKS in Local Zones with a failover strategy

Introduction Update 08/05/22: We updated the title and conclusion to improve the accuracy of wording. AWS Local Zones are a type of infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage, and other select AWS services close to large population and industry centers. Customers can build and deploy applications close to end users to enable real-time gaming, live […]

Using Amazon ECS with NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate drug discovery

Using Amazon ECS with NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate drug discovery

This post was written in collaboration with Neel Patel, Drug Discovery Scientist, Nvidia. Drug discovery is the process through which potential new medicines are identified. It involves a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacology, as well as computer science. AstraZeneca and NVIDIA collaborated on developing MegaMolBART so the computational drug discovery process […]
