Enhanced VPC flexibility: modify subnets and security groups in Amazon EKS
Introduction With Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) users can modify the configuration of the cluster before and after cluster creation without having to create a new cluster. Before provisioning the cluster, users can define specific parameters like the Kubernetes version, VPC and subnets, and logging preferences. Post-creation, they can dynamically adjust various settings, such […]
Optimize AZ traffic costs using Amazon EKS, Karpenter, and Istio
In the evolving cloud-native landscape, enterprises utilizing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) often encounter challenges that hinder their pursuit of operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Notable among these challenges are the costs associated with Cross Availability Zone (AZ) traffic, with difficulties associated with achieving seamless scalability, hurdles in provisioning right-sized instances for nodes, and intricacies […]
Scalable and Cost-Effective Event-Driven Workloads with KEDA and Karpenter on Amazon EKS
In today’s cloud-native landscape, efficient management of event-driven workloads is essential for real-time data processing. Traditional autoscaling often falls short amidst unpredictable event volumes, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), which is a managed container orchestration platform and is well-suited for deploying container-based applications. By integrating Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA) […]

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 […]
A deep dive into Amazon ECS task health and task replacement
Introduction Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a container orchestration service that manages the lifecycle of billions of application containers on AWS every week. One of the core goals of Amazon ECS is to remove overhead burden from human operators. Amazon ECS watches over your application containers 24/7, and can respond to unexpected changes […]
