Note: The solution described in this blog post is no longer recommended. See the ecsobserver extension for OpenTelemetry as alternative approach. An earlier blog published last year (Part 1 in the series), Metrics collection from Amazon ECS using Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, demonstrated how to deploy Prometheus server on an Amazon ECS cluster, dynamically […]

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is excited to introduce the Kubernetes resource view. You will now be able to see all Kubernetes API resource types running in your Amazon EKS cluster using the AWS Management Console for Amazon EKS, making it easier to visualize and troubleshoot your Kubernetes applications using Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS […]

In the past, our customers have commonly used solutions such as Flagger, service mesh, or CI/CD to enable blue/green deployment, A/B testing, and traffic management. The AWS Load Balancer Controller (formerly known as ALB Ingress Controller) enables EKS users to realize blue/green deployments, A/B testing, and canary deployments via the Kubernetes ingress resources with the […]

In the days leading up to KubeCon, join the AWS Kubernetes team and guest speakers for technical deep dives, product demos, and best practices that will help you deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on AWS. If […]

The AWS Containers team has been busy since we’ve seen you last at re:Invent 2021! We’re excited to bring you two free online events in May to share the latest and greatest on Containers at AWS. AWS Container Day @ KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe is happening May 10th-13th & 17th, 1700 – 1900 CEST. This […]

Data transfer charges are often overlooked when operating Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters; understanding these charges would help reduce cost while operating your workload on Amazon EKS at production scale. Common scenarios for data transfer charges on EKS Understanding general data transfer charges on AWS will help you better understand the EKS networking […]

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a fully managed service that makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane or nodes. Organizations often run a mix of stateless and stateful applications on a Kubernetes cluster. When it comes to stateful applications, […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed service that offloads from its users the onerous task of managing the Kubernetes control plane. It gives users the flexibility to install tools they need to manage their application workloads on the data plane. However, many customers want us to manage some of these tools […]

Today, we are introducing a new open-source project called EKS Blueprints that makes it easier and faster for you to adopt Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). EKS Blueprints is a collection of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules that will help you configure and deploy consistent, batteries-included EKS clusters across accounts and regions. You can […]

AWS Fargate is a technology that provides on-demand capacity for running pods on EKS clusters. Fargate provides a more hands-off experience, helping you run container applications without needing to manage the EC2 instances underneath. AWS Fargate runs each Kubernetes pod in its own isolated security boundary. This means it has a slightly different operating model […]
