This blog post was co-written by Linh Lam, Solution Architect, Kubecost Customers can track their Kubernetes control plane and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) costs using AWS Cost and Usage Reports. However, they often need deeper insights to accurately track Kubernetes costs across namespaces, clusters, pods, and more. We recently announced that AWS and […]

In May 2022, we announced Amazon EKS Observability Accelerator, a tool for configuring and deploying  a purpose built observability solution on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters for specific workloads using Terraform modules. We launched this tool  demonstrating four use-cases and customers have been using the tool rapidly to achieve observability. Customers can use […]

Some of the details in this blog post are now outdated.  For the latest information on the AWS Observability Accelerator please see Announcing AWS Observability Accelerator to configure comprehensive observability for Amazon EKS.  Also explore the GitHub repository where you can find more details on how to get started. Observability is critical for any application […]

Container Orchestration platforms, such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), have simplified the process of building, securing, operating, and maintaining container-based applications. Therefore, they have helped organizations focus on building applications. Customers have started adopting event-driven deployment, allowing Kubernetes deployments to scale automatically in response to metrics from various sources dynamically. By implementing event-driven […]

Service Meshes are an integral part of the Kubernetes environment that enables secure, reliable, and observable communication. Istio is an open-source service mesh that provides advanced network features without requiring any changes to the application code. These capabilities include service-to-service authentication, monitoring, and more. Istio generates detailed telemetry for all service communications within a mesh. This telemetry […]

Managing the deployment of containers in a multi-tenant environment presents a number of new challenges for many of my customers. Some organizations have explored building and managing their own Kubernetes container orchestration environment, but the management challenges lead them to evaluate Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Particularly, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are using a […]

Apache Spark is an open-source lightning-fast cluster computing framework built for distributed data processing. With the combination of Cloud, Spark delivers high performance for both batch and real-time data processing at a petabyte scale. Spark on Kubernetes is supported from Spark 2.3 onwards, and it gained a lot of traction among enterprises for high performance and […]

Publish the Standardized EKS cluster and container resources using AWS Service Catalog The pace of application development in modern cloud native environments is continuing to grow faster along with business innovation. Many companies are having difficulty figuring out how to maintain their governance best practices and compliance requirements while sustaining agile innovation culture. AWS Service […]

Orchestration platforms such as Amazon EKS and Amazon ECS have simplified the process of building, securing, operating, and maintaining container-based applications, thereby helping organizations focus on building applications. We simplified this further with the launch of AWS Fargate, where customers no longer have to manage Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances for their Amazon EKS/ECS […]

Automated scaling is an approach to scaling up or down workloads automatically based on resource usage. In Kubernetes, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) can scale pods based on observed CPU utilization and memory usage. In more complex scenarios, we would account for other metrics before deciding the scaling. For example, most web and mobile backends […]
