With the Generative Artificial intelligence (GenAI) and machine learning (ML) surge, GPU-intensive tasks such as machine learning, graphics rendering, and high-performance computing are becoming increasingly prevalent. However, many of these tasks do not always require the full performance and resources of a high-end GPU. This underutilization of GPU resources leads to inefficiencies, increased costs, and […]

Introduction Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is transforming the way businesses function and is accelerating the pace of innovation. In general, the AI field is changing the way businesses utilize technology. Generative AI technology involves tuning and deploying Large Language Models (LLM), and gives developers access to those models to execute prompts and conversations. Platform […]

Introduction Apache Spark revolutionized big data processing with its distributed computing capabilities, which enabled efficient data processing at scale. It offers the flexibility to run on traditional Central Processing Unit (CPUs) as well as specialized Graphic Processing Units (GPUs), which provides distinct advantages for various workloads. As the demand for faster and more efficient machine […]

Introduction AWS Fargate, the serverless compute engine for containerized workloads, removes the undifferentiated heavy lifting of securing and patching the underlying infrastructure. In this blog post we dive into AWS Fargate task retirement, one of the ways AWS keeps the infrastructure secure and up to date. AWS has recently updated the AWS Fargate task retirement […]

Introduction AWS Elastic Load Balancers provide native ingress solutions for workloads deployed on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters at both L4 and L7 with Network Load Balancer and Application Load Balancer (ALB). The AWS Load Balancer Controller, formerly called the AWS ALB Ingress Controller, satisfies Kubernetes ingress using ALB and service type load […]

Introduction The majority of the enterprise customers tend to establish centralize control and well-architected organization-wide policies when it comes to distribution of cloud resources in multiple teams. These teams are primarily divided into three categories: IT operations, Enterprise Security, and Application (App)-development. While delivery of business value from application standpoint falls under the purview of […]

Introduction When you purchase a packaged food item in your local grocery store, you probably check the list of ingredients written to understand what’s inside and make sure you aren’t consuming ingredients inadvertently that you don’t want to or are known to have adverse health effects. Do you think in a similar way when you […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a managed container orchestration service offered by AWS. It simplifies the deployment, management, and scalability of containerized applications using Amazon ECS task definitions through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS Software Development Kits (AWS SDKs). Customers who require running containerized workloads, […]

Introduction When Amazon VPC Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin assigns IPv4 addresses to Pods, it allocates them from the VPC CIDR range assigned to the cluster. While it makes Pods first-class citizens within the VPC network, it often leads to exhaustion of the limited number of IPv4 addresses available in the VPCs. The long term […]

This post was co-written with Daniel Higuero, CTO, Napptive Introduction In the era of cloud-native applications, Kubernetes has emerged as a prominent technology in the container orchestration space. However, using Kubernetes requires users to not only run and manage cluster configurations, cluster-wide add-ons, and auxiliary tooling, but also to understanding application deployment configurations (e.g., Deployments, […]
