Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS) is a fully managed service that helps customers run their Kubernetes clusters at scale by minimizing the efforts required to operate a Kubernetes control plane. AWS customers are accelerating EKS adoption to run large-scale Kubernetes workloads. As a result, customers are facing challenges to enforce security policies at scale […]

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now allows you to connect any Kubernetes cluster to AWS and visualize it in Amazon EKS via the AWS Management Console. You can connect any Kubernetes cluster, including Amazon EKS Anywhere clusters running on-premises, self-managed clusters on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), and other Kubernetes clusters running outside […]

Introduction As the adoption of container environments grows, there is an increasing need to cross-share data between monolith applications and cloud native applications and microservices. As a standard, the Container Storage Interface (CSI) allows exposing storage systems/backends to containerized workloads as persistent storage. In this blog, we will discuss and create persistent storage for cross-data […]

This blog post proposes an ecommerce scenario with an Orders microservice, an Orders Rollback microservice and an Inventory microservice that communicate with each other. This communication happens while raising an order successfully or rolling back an order when the Inventory microservice reports an error. This communication is orchestrated with Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) […]

We are excited to announce the general availability of a new deployment option for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) called Amazon EKS Anywhere. EKS Anywhere allows customers to create and operate Kubernetes clusters supported by AWS on customer-managed infrastructure. It provides consistent, automated cluster management for your hybrid needs. There are no upfront commitments […]

As of August 2021, Amazon VPC Container Networking Interface (CNI) Plugin supports “prefix assignment mode”, enabling you to run more pods per node on AWS Nitro based EC2 instance types. To achieve higher pod density, the VPC CNI plugin leverages a new VPC capability that enables IP address prefixes to be associated with elastic network […]

This post is contributed by Efi Gazarov, Cloud Infrastructure Team Leader at Amenity Analytics NLP: the key to unlocking the full potential of data sources NLP, or natural language processing, is used to understand, interpret, and process language the way a human would by using computational methods. It sits under the umbrella of AI, along […]

You can use CloudWatch Container Insights to monitor, troubleshoot, and alarm on your containerized applications and microservices. Amazon CloudWatch collects, aggregates, and summarizes compute utilization information like CPU, memory, disk, and network data. It also helps you isolate issues and resolve them quickly by providing diagnostic information like container restart failures. Container Insights gives you […]

Organizations are embracing microservices architectures and container-based deployments to gain agility, scalability, isolation, and separation of concerns. AWS Fargate, the serverless compute engine for running containers in the AWS Cloud, improves agility by taking away the undifferentiated heavy lifting of worker node provisioning and management. With Fargate, organizations can focus on building applications and application […]

Last month, we announced the general availability of the Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) optimized Bottlerocket AMI. Today, I would like to focus on the Bottlerocket ECS Updater. The ECS Updater is a service you can install into your ECS cluster that helps you keep your Bottlerocket container instances up to date. Before I […]
