This blog post is a continuation of an existing series of articles covering different use cases for Quarkus (Optimize your Java application for AWS Lambda with Quarkus and Optimize your Java application for Amazon ECS with Quarkus). In this blog post, I want to show how the Quarkus stack and additional extensions can be used […]

To meet user demand, dynamic HTTP-based applications require constant scaling of Kubernetes pods. For applications exposed through Kubernetes ingress objects, the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) distributes incoming traffic automatically across the newly scaled replicas. When Kubernetes applications scale down due to a decline in demand, certain situations will result in brief interruptions for end […]

One of the key benefits of the AWS Cloud is it allows customers to go global in minutes, easily deploying an application in multiple Regions around the world with just a few clicks. This means you can provide lower latency and a better experience for your customers at minimal cost while targeting higher availability service-level […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes. It has native support for AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) users and roles as entities that can authenticate against a cluster. Many of our customers use enterprise identity providers (IdP) like Active Directory, OKTA, […]

Edit: 02 JUN 2023: The sample has been updated according to the EKS Blueprint V5 Migration Edit 06 October 2023: Upgrade the blog and sample to use gitops-bridge-argocd-bootstrap integration Introduction Organizations use modern application development approaches, such as microservices, to increase innovation, performance, security, and reliability. However, when working with legacy deployment systems, it can […]

Introduction In December 2019, we announced AWS Wavelength, new AWS infrastructure that allows customers to deploy workload closer to 5G-connected users and devices. Customers can now use AWS Wavelength to deploy Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters and a suite of supported partner solutions available on the […]

This post is a follow-up to our previous post, Amazon EKS add-ons preserve customer edits. Introduction In October 2022, the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) add-ons team introduced the ability to preserve edits, enabling customers to safely modify the configuration of Amazon EKS add-ons by using the Kubernetes application programming interface (API). This enhancement […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed container service to run and scale Kubernetes applications in the cloud or on-premises. Kubernetes Ingress is an API resource that allows you manage external or internal HTTP(S) access to Kubernetes services running in a cluster. The AWS Load Balancer Controller in Amazon EKS creates Application […]

Per Microsoft documentation: Windows-based networks commonly use Active Directory (AD) to facilitate authentication and authorization between users, computers, and other network resources. Enterprise application developers often design their apps to be AD-integrated and run on domain-joined servers to take advantage of Integrated Windows Authentication, which makes it easy for users and other services to automatically […]

Introduction Currently, customers are given two main options for end users to access Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters when using utilities like kubectl – AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM), or OpenID Connect (OIDC). However, some customers leverage X.509 certificates to authenticate their end-users for access to Amazon EKS clusters, especially those […]
