Recently, we announced features to improve the configuration and metric gathering experience of your tasks deployed via AWS Fargate for Amazon ECS. Based off of customer feedback, we added the following features: Environment file support Deeper integration with AWS Secrets Manager using secret versions and JSON keys More granular network metrics, as well as additional […]

This is my first post on AWS Container Blog since I joined AWS and I could not be more excited to talk about two technologies now working together: Serverless and Kubernetes, or more specifically AWS Step Functions and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. In my previous role, I envisioned to build a web application that would […]

Akshay Ram, Prithvi Ramesh, Michael Hausenblas In issue 701 of our containers roadmap we discussed supporting our CNCF Fluent Bit-based log router in the context of EKS on Fargate. In this blog post we provide you context on this new feature and walk you through the usage of it, shipping logs directly to CloudWatch with […]

When talking to engineering teams, especially at the enterprise size, we often see them organized into dev teams and a platform team. The dev teams are typically tasked with creating and maintaining services, and the platform team is tasked with building tooling to make it easier for the dev teams to deploy their services. That […]

In 2014, AWS introduced Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) as a simplified way for customers to address the complexity of managing containers on their EC2 instances at any scale. As adoption increased, customers responded with a new challenge: remove the undifferentiated heavy lifting of having to deal with EC2 instances. In 2018, we announced […]

This post was contributed by Ran Sheinberg, Principal Solutions Architect and Deepthi Chelupati, Sr Product Manager Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to run upstream, secure, and highly available Kubernetes clusters on AWS. In 2019, support for managed node groups was added, with EKS provisioning and managing the underlying EC2 Instances (worker […]

Since its launch at re:Invent 2017, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) has rapidly evolved to meet the needs of production Kubernetes users. Customers such as Intel, Snap, Intuit, GoDaddy, and Autodesk trust Amazon EKS to run their most sensitive and mission critical applications because of its security, reliability, and scalability. One thing missing from Amazon […]

From the start, our goal with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) has been to build a fully managed service that makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to be an expert in managing Kubernetes clusters. When Amazon EKS first launched, that meant a fully managed Kubernetes control plane. In […]

Today, we announced the Amazon ECS deployment circuit breaker for EC2 and Fargate compute types. With this feature, Amazon ECS customers can now automatically roll back unhealthy service deployments without the need for manual intervention. This empowers customers to quickly discover failed deployments, while not having to worry about resources being consumed for failing tasks, […]

Security groups, acting as instance level network firewalls, are among the most important and commonly used building blocks in any AWS cloud deployment. It came as no surprise to us that integrating security groups with Kubernetes pods emerged as one of the most highly requested Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) features, as seen on […]
