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 – […]

Patterns for TargetGroupBinding with AWS Load Balancer Controller

Although provisioning load balancers directly from clusters has been the Kubernetes native method for exposing services, in some cases this creates a provisioning process that doesn’t align with the architecture of the applications. Therefore, there’s a need to have another mechanism for it. For those use-cases, which we describe in this post, provides the functionality […]

Proactive scaling of Amazon ECS services using Amazon ECS Service Connect Metrics

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 […]

Host the Whisper Model with Streaming Mode on Amazon EKS and Ray Serve

OpenAI Whisper is a pre-trained model for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation. It has demonstrated strong ASR performance across various languages, including the ability to transcribe speech in multiple languages and translate them into English. The Whisper model is open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license, making it accessible for developers to build useful […]

Deploying Karpenter Nodes with Multus on Amazon EKS

Container based Telco workloads use Multus CNI primarily for traffic or network segmentation. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) supports Multus CNI enabling users to attach multiple network interfaces, apply advanced network configuration and segmentation to Kubernetes-based applications running on AWS. One of the many benefits of running applications on AWS is resource elasticity (scaling out and scaling […]

Ensuring fair bandwidth allocation for Amazon EKS Workloads

Independent Service Vendor (ISV) users often offer their end-user solutions hosted on a multi-tenant architecture to reduce cost and operational management. However, this approach can lead Kubernetes clusters to resource exhaustion or network starvation issues that impact neighboring workloads. By default, Kubernetes provides capabilities to enforce resource availability such as CPU and memory to prevent […]

Enhancing Kubernetes workload isolation and security using Kata Containers

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 […]
