MYCOM OSI’s Amazon EKS adoption journey
This post was co-written by Dirk Michel, SVP SaaS and Digital Technology at MYCOM OSI, and Andreas Lindh, Specialist Solutions Architect, Containers at AWS. In this blog post, we will discuss how MYCOM OSI was able to lower costs and improve the flexibility of their Assurance Cloud Service (ACS) SaaS platform and bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) option […]
Read MoreGitOps model for provisioning and bootstrapping Amazon EKS clusters using Crossplane and Flux
In an earlier blog (Part 1 of the series), I discussed the adoption of the GitOps model as an efficient strategy for provisioning cloud provider-specific managed resources, such as, for example, Amazon S3 bucket and Amazon RDS instance, that application workloads depend on. The blog presented the details of implementing a use case where an Amazon […]
Read MoreGitOps model for provisioning and bootstrapping Amazon EKS clusters using Crossplane and Argo CD
Customers are increasingly using multiple Kubernetes clusters to manage their application delivery to different environments. Managed services like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) help customers offload the onerous task of managing the Kubernetes control plane. But cluster operators face the challenge of managing the lifecycles of these clusters and deploying applications consistently to multiple […]
Read MoreBuilding a GitOps pipeline with Amazon EKS
This post is contributed by Anita Buehrle, Director of Content at Weaveworks. In the first part of this series, we discussed the history of GitOps, its benefits, and how it works. Now that you have an idea of what GitOps is all about, we’re going to dive into how to configure a GitOps pipeline with […]
Read MoreAutomating Amazon EKS with GitOps
This post is contributed by Anita Buehrle, Director of Content at Weaveworks. Companies want to go fast; they need to deploy more often, more reliably, and preferably with less overhead. GitOps is a fast and secure method for developers to manage and update complex applications and infrastructure running in Kubernetes. GitOps is an operations and […]
Read MoreGetting started with AWS App Mesh and Amazon EKS
In this blog post we explain service mesh usage in containerized microservices and walk you through a concrete example of how to get started with AWS App Mesh with Amazon EKS. Increasingly, AWS customers adopt microservices to build scalable and resilient applications, reducing time-to-market. When moving from a monolithic to a microservices architecture, you break […]
Read MoreGame DevOps made easy with AWS Game-Server CD Pipeline
This is a guest post by Anita Buehrle of Weaveworks. The biggest challenge faced by game publishers is the ability to deliver new features to players as quickly as possible. Not only do new features have to arrive quickly and reliably, but they also need to be delivered in a way that optimizes costs and […]
Read MoreSecuring EKS Ingress With Contour And Let’s Encrypt The GitOps Way
This is a guest post by Stefan Prodan of Weaveworks. In Kubernetes terminology, Ingress exposes HTTP(S) routes from outside the cluster to services running within the cluster. An Ingress can be configured to provide Kubernetes services with externally-reachable URLs while performing load balancing and SSL/TLS termination. Kubernetes comes with an Ingress resource and there are several controllers that […]
Read MoreAutoscaling EKS on Fargate with custom metrics
This is a guest post by Stefan Prodan of Weaveworks. Autoscaling is an approach to automatically scale up or down workloads based on the resource usage. In Kubernetes, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) can scale pods based on observed CPU utilization and memory usage. Starting with Kubernetes 1.7, an aggregation layer was introduced that allows third-party […]
Read MoreHelp us write a new chapter for Gitops, Kubernetes, and Open Source collaboration
Introduction The Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) team sees the ecosystem around automated software deployment as a technology frontier ripe with potential for groundbreaking innovation. Over the last twenty years, the way in which developers deploy and manage their applications has changed dramatically. Technology improvements in packaging, automation, and virtualization as well as shifts in […]
