In this post, we explore key considerations, best practices, and architectural decisions hosting applications on EKS in shared tenancy environments while maintaining PCI DSS compliance. Please note this information is for reference purposes only and does not constitute legal or compliance advice—customers remain responsible for making their own independent assessment, and AWS products or services are provided ‘as is’ without warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind.

In Part 1, we explored Moka’s high-level design and logging infrastructure, showcasing how AWS for Fluent Bit, Amazon S3, and a robust logging framework make sure of operational visibility and facilitate issue resolution. For more details, read part 1 here. Introduction As we transition to the second part of our series, our focus shifts to […]

Introduction Culture Amp is an employee experience platform that provides the insights into employee engagement, performance, and development that organizations need to build a category-defining culture. Culture Amp’s mission is to create a better world of work. Developer feedback loops An efficient developer feedback loop is a critical part of an effective development process – […]

Introduction This post discusses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Service Connect, a capability that provides a secure and scalable way to connect different Amazon ECS service deployments. This enables seamless communication between micro-services while reducing the operational overhead. It provides features such as service discovery, load balancing, and network traffic metrics. This post primarily […]

Containers have become the dominant method for deploying and managing applications in recent years. Their widespread adoption is attributed to numerous advantages, such as isolation, efficient hardware use, scalability, and portability. In situations where resource isolation is critical for system security, many users are forced to rely on virtual machines (VMs) to mitigate the impact […]

AWS users need to continuously enhance their infrastructure and security processes. This typically involves a two-phase approach: discovery and design, followed by implementation. In the discovery phase, an assessment of the current infrastructure is conducted, leading to the creation of architecture documents and patterns for the subsequent implementation phase. This process delves into Account Structure, […]

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship; a tale of two cloud services, traveling down two seemingly independent paths, destined to converge. But first, a brief history: Since their launch in November of 2018, AWS Snowball Edge devices have been used to run applications for data processing, analytics, and machine learning in remote or […]

Introduction Designing and maintaining secure user management, authentication and other related features for applications is not an easy task. Amazon Cognito takes care of this work, which allows developers to focus on building the core business logic of the application. Amazon Cognito provides user management, authentication, and authorization for applications where users can log in […]

Originally, containers were a great fit for stateless applications. However, for many use cases there is a need for persistent storage, without which stateful workloads aren’t possible. Kubernetes first introduced support for stateful workloads with in-tree volume plugins, meaning that the plugin code was part of the core Kubernetes code and shipped with the Kubernetes […]

Introduction Many organizations as part of their cloud journey into Amazon Web Services migrate and modernize their ETL (extract-transform-load) batch processing workloads running on on-premises Hadoop clusters to AWS. They often start their journey with the lift and shift approach, by hosting their Hadoop environment on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) or migrate to […]
