Secure Cross-Cluster Communication in EKS with VPC Lattice and Pod Identity IAM Session Tags

Solution overview When you create your applications and want to expose internal API endpoints, you can build your microservices using different compute options such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Then, you can deploy your applications across multiple AWS accounts and multiple Amazon Virtual Private Clouds […]

Securing API endpoints using Amazon API Gateway and Amazon VPC Lattice

Introduction In microservices architectures, teams often build and manage internal applications that they expose as private API endpoints and publicly expose those endpoints through a centralized API gateway where security protections are centrally managed. These API endpoints allow both internal and external users to leverage the functionality of those applications. The separation of concerns between […]

Optimize webSocket applications scaling with API Gateway on Amazon EKS

Introduction WebSocket is a common communication protocol used in web applications to facilitate real-time bi-directional data exchange between client and server. However, when the server has to maintain a direct connection with the client, it can limit the server’s ability to scale down when there are long-running clients. This scale down can occur when nodes […]

Introducing AWS Gateway API controller for Amazon VPC Lattice, an implementation of Kubernetes Gateway API

Introduction Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon VPC Lattice a new feature of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) that gives you a consistent way to connect, secure, and monitor communication between your services. As part of the launch of Amazon VPC Lattice, we’re excited to introduce the AWS Gateway API controller, an […]

Microservices development using AWS controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) and Amazon EKS blueprints

Introduction Microservices architectures make applications easier to scale and faster to develop, which enables innovation and accelerating time-to-market for new features. For business applications with multiple clients (web, mobile, desktop, and smart devices), the application programming interface (API) Gateway microservices design pattern is helpful for adding centralized control and security. Containers and serverless are two […]
