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, […]

Introduction Many enterprises want to modernize their existing applications and containerize them to minimize disruptions that could stem from clunky, outdated and unscalable legacy systems. These enterprises need tools to simplify the containerization process of existing Java and .NET applications and increase operational efficiency, harmonize CI/CD processes, and increase agility. AWS App2Container (A2C) enables companies […]

NOTICE: October 04, 2024 – This post no longer reflects the best guidance for configuring a service mesh with Amazon EKS and its examples no longer work as shown. Please refer to newer content on Amazon VPC Lattice. ——– In this post, we will demonstrate how customers can leverage different AWS services in conjunction with […]

Jason Umiker If you are managing a Kubernetes cluster or you are a security professional responsible for one then you likely have heard that you should be implementing Kubernetes Pod Security Policies (PSPs) on the cluster in order to improve your security posture. Using PSPs can help to block pods from being disruptive to their […]
