Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) add-ons were originally introduced in December 2021. At launch, they provided a mechanism for installing and managing a curated set of add-ons for Amazon EKS clusters. The add-on for CoreDNS was amongst the first add-ons we released because DNS plays such a pivotal role in Kubernetes. When advanced […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) has gained significant popularity as a managed Kubernetes service, providing a scalable and reliable platform for running containerized applications. Behind the scenes, Amazon EKS uses etcd, a distributed key-value store, to store cluster configuration, state, and metadata. In this post, we delve into the defragmentation functionality in etcd and discuss the […]

In today’s fast-paced technological landscape, the demand for accelerated computing is skyrocketing, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). One of the primary challenges the enterprises face is the efficient utilization of computational resources, particularly when it comes to GPU acceleration, which is crucial for ML tasks and general AI workloads. […]

With the Generative Artificial intelligence (GenAI) and machine learning (ML) surge, GPU-intensive tasks such as machine learning, graphics rendering, and high-performance computing are becoming increasingly prevalent. However, many of these tasks do not always require the full performance and resources of a high-end GPU. This underutilization of GPU resources leads to inefficiencies, increased costs, and […]

Introduction Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is transforming the way businesses function and is accelerating the pace of innovation. In general, the AI field is changing the way businesses utilize technology. Generative AI technology involves tuning and deploying Large Language Models (LLM), and gives developers access to those models to execute prompts and conversations. Platform […]

Introduction Apache Spark revolutionized big data processing with its distributed computing capabilities, which enabled efficient data processing at scale. It offers the flexibility to run on traditional Central Processing Unit (CPUs) as well as specialized Graphic Processing Units (GPUs), which provides distinct advantages for various workloads. As the demand for faster and more efficient machine […]

Introduction Today, we’re excited to announce the native support for enforcing Kubernetes network policies with Amazon VPC Container Networking Interface (CNI) Plugin. You can now use Amazon VPC CNI to implement both pod networking and network policies to secure the traffic in your Kubernetes clusters. Native support for network policies has been one of the […]

Introduction Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors your AWS environment for malicious activity and anomalous behavior. Since its launch in 2017, Amazon GuardDuty has expanded its visibility and threat detection coverage. Amazon GuardDuty is capable of analyzing tens of billions of events per minute across multiple AWS data sources such as […]

Introduction AWS Elastic Load Balancers provide native ingress solutions for workloads deployed on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters at both L4 and L7 with Network Load Balancer and Application Load Balancer (ALB). The AWS Load Balancer Controller, formerly called the AWS ALB Ingress Controller, satisfies Kubernetes ingress using ALB and service type load […]

Introduction When you purchase a packaged food item in your local grocery store, you probably check the list of ingredients written to understand what’s inside and make sure you aren’t consuming ingredients inadvertently that you don’t want to or are known to have adverse health effects. Do you think in a similar way when you […]
