Today, AWS launched the support of awsvpc network mode for Windows workloads running in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). This feature brings EC2 networking capabilities to Windows tasks running on Amazon ECS by associating each task with its own elastic network interface (ENI). In this post, we will walk through the steps for using […]

Earlier this year, AWS support engineers noticed an uptick in customers experiencing Kubernetes API server slowness with their Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters. Seasoned Kubernetes users know that a slow Kubernetes API server is often indicative of a large, overloaded cluster or a malfunctioning controller. Once support engineers ruled out cluster size as […]

In this post, we discuss about how to achieve persistent storage with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters running on Bottlerocket OS with Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). Persistent storage is needed for long running stateful applications to persist state for high availability or to scale out around shared datasets. This is true […]

Last week we announced the general availability of the Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)-optimized Bottlerocket AMI and Bottlerocket support for Amazon ECS is now generally available. Bottlerocket is an open source project that focuses on security and maintainability, providing a reliable, and consistent Linux distribution for hosting container-based workloads. In this post, I am […]

Fluentd is a popular open source project for streaming logs from Kubernetes pods to different backends aggregators like CloudWatch. It is often used with the kubernetes_metadata filter, a plugin for Fluentd. The filter enriches the logs with basic metadata such as the pod’s namespace, UUIDs, labels, and annotations. It collects this information by querying the […]

Many enterprises want to rapidly modernize their existing applications by containerizing them with minimal effort or investing time in gaining expertise in container technologies. That’s why AWS launched AWS App2Container (A2C) in June 2020, a service that helps customers containerize .NET and Java applications without making any code changes. A2C analyzes the running applications and […]

When deploying containers to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), customers have choices as to what level of management they want or need to have over the cluster compute. First there is AWS Fargate, which is a serverless compute engine that removes the need for customers to provision and manage servers. This approach simplifies the […]

Introduction Over the past couple of years, organizations have increased their pace of Kubernetes adoption. They want to be more agile so they can innovate and deliver new products to the market more efficiently. Among many of the early adopters of the Kubernetes platform, it was not uncommon to operate a single large Kubernetes cluster […]

Before today, the AWS App Mesh gateway only allowed for matches on the path of an incoming request with no configurable rewrites of the hostname and/or path. In the AWS App Mesh roadmap issues 73 and 247, you asked us about allowing host and path rewrites for incoming traffic to resources within your mesh. App […]
