Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) is an extension of TLS, where both the client and server leverage X.509 digital certificates to authenticate each other before starting communications. Both parties present certificates to each other and validate the other’s certificate. The key difference from any usual TLS communication is that when using mutual TLS, each client must […]

AWS App Mesh is a service mesh that provides application-level networking to make it easy for your services to communicate with each other across multiple types of compute infrastructure. App Mesh includes support for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), requiring the open-source Envoy proxy to be run […]

In this blog, we will cover how to implement progressive delivery using AWS App Mesh and Flagger. Progressive delivery helps customers release features quickly, decrease deployment risk, and increase deployment safety. Customers already using CI/CD pipelines and following Agile and DevOps practices will greatly benefit by implementing progressive delivery. Customers currently use various tools like Jenkins, […]

Customers often have applications owned by different teams in different Amazon ECS clusters. Alternatively, they may have many applications running in Amazon EC2 and some in Amazon ECS. Additionally, the applications may be running in their own VPCs in each cluster. In all these cases, it is harder to get consistent connectivity, observability, and security […]

In late 2018, we first shared an introduction to using AWS Cloud Development Kit with Amazon ECS. In the almost two years since that article, countless developers have discovered that they enjoy deploying containers to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and AWS Fargate by writing infrastructure as code using a declarative SDK in their preferred […]

Today, many customers are adopting microservices. This approach breaks down software from a a single monolithic component into many independent pieces of software that address a specific business function and communicate over well-defined API’s. This enables independent teams to work on multiple components simultaneously and helps customers shorten the software development lifecycle, enable rapid innovation, […]

In this post, we will demonstrate how customers can leverage different AWS services in conjunction with AWS App Mesh to implement a canary deployment strategy for applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). As stated in the post “Getting started with App Mesh and EKS”, many customers are currently implementing microservices in a […]

Using containers brings flexibility, consistency, and portability in a DevOps culture. One of the essential parts of DevOps is creating Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines that deliver containerized application code faster and more reliably to production systems. Enabling canary or blue-green deployments in CI/CD pipelines provides more robust testing of the new application versions […]

Previous AWS Container Day events have included a number of discussions and deep dives on running Kubernetes at AWS – and now we are bringing this content right to your home! Join us for the first-ever virtual Container Day on August 17th, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (PDT). Check out the agenda and some of […]

AWS App Mesh is a fully managed service mesh that provides application-level networking to make it easy for your services to communicate with each other across multiple types of compute infrastructure. App Mesh standardizes how your services communicate, giving you end-to-end visibility and ensuring high availability for your applications. Until now, App Mesh features have […]
