This blog post was co-written by Brent Eager, Senior Software Engineer, StormForge StormForge is the creator of Optimize Live, a Kubernetes vertical rightsizing solution that is compatible with the Kubernetes HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA). Using cluster-based agents, machine learning, and Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Optimize Live is able to continuously calculate and apply optimal resource requests, […]

Microservices architecture enables scalability and agility for modern applications. However, distributed systems can introduce complexity when troubleshooting issues across services on different machines. To gain observability into microservices environments, operators need tools to monitor, analyze, and debug the interconnected services. Istio service mesh connects, secures, and observes microservices communications. It provides a way to manage […]

The complexity of distributed systems has grown significantly, making monitoring and observability essential for application and infrastructure reliability. As organizations adopt microservice-based architectures and large-scale distributed systems, they face the challenge of managing an increasing volume of telemetry data, particularly high metric cardinality in systems like Prometheus. To address this, many are turning to service […]

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS) provides a managed Kubernetes service, simplifying cluster operations by offloading undifferentiated heavy lifting to AWS. With the Kubernetes release cycle of a new release every 4 months, customers have difficulty in keeping their EKS clusters up-to-date, especially across multiple AWS accounts. Additionally, keeping track of EKS version will aid your […]

The Prometheus Operator allows cluster administrators to manage Prometheus clusters running in Kubernetes. It makes it easy to deploy and manage Prometheus via native Kubernetes components. In this blog post, I will demonstrate how you can deploy Prometheus via the Prometheus Operator, and how you can easily migrate your monitoring workloads to take advantage of […]

Building and managing resilient, micro-service based Containerized applications in a distributed environment is hard; maintaining and operating them is even harder. Even though containerized applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) take advantage of the performance, scale, reliability, and availability of AWS infrastructure which, we need to understand that failures will occur and […]

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 […]

AWS Migration Hub Refactor Spaces automates infrastructure management, and traffic routing between monolithic and microservices endpoints. It uses two key constructs, service and route, to distribute incoming user traffic between monolithic and microservices endpoints. You can create the service and route configuration in Refactor Spaces from either the AWS Management Console, CLI, or the service […]
