We recently announced that the AWS Load Balancer Controller now supports AWS Global Accelerator through a new declarative Kubernetes API. This integration brings the power of AWS’s global network infrastructure directly into your Kubernetes workflows, enabling improved application performance by up to 60% for users worldwide, all without leaving your Kubernetes environment. AWS Global Accelerator […]

The Kubernetes SIG Network and Security Response Committee has announced that Ingress NGINX will be retired in March 2026. If your organization runs workloads on Kubernetes — whether on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), self-managed clusters on EC2, or hybrid environments — this upcoming change requires immediate planning and attention. This change impacts approximately […]

Managing security configurations across hundreds or thousands of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts present significant challenges for enterprise organizations. Without centralized control, you face manual configuration across accounts, inconsistent security posture, and ongoing maintenance overhead when new accounts are created. When Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) introduced VPC Block Public Access (BPA) in November […]

As organizations look to accelerate their cloud migration journey, many customers are seeking ways to lift and shift their existing VMware workloads to Amazon Web Services (AWS) without the overhead of refactoring applications or retraining staff. You can use Amazon Elastic VMware service (Amazon EVS) to run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly within your Amazon […]

In November 2025, Amazon CloudFront introduced cross-account support for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, which allows you to keep Amazon VPC origins and CloudFront distributions in separate Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts. In turn, organizations with multi-account strategies can use VPC origins while maintaining their desired account structure. This enables a new architectural pattern for […]

AWS recently announced the general availability of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Load Balancer Controller support for Kubernetes Gateway API. Previously, AWS Load Balancer Controller satisfied Kubernetes Ingress and Service resource requirements by provisioning Application Load Balancer (ALB) and Network Load Balancer (NLB) respectively. With this new capability, you can now define your AWS load balancing […]

In November 2024, Amazon CloudFront introduced CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, a security feature that allowed customers to deliver content from applications hosted in private subnets. In addition, we are now introducing cross-account support for Amazon CloudFront VPC origins, enabling network traffic flow between Amazon CloudFront and Application Load Balancers (ALBs), Network Load Balancers […]

Today we’re announcing the general availability of rewriting URLs and host headers natively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Application Load Balancers (ALB). You can use this new feature to implement regex matches based on request parameters and rewrite both host headers and URLs before routing to your targets. Operating at Layer 7 (application layer) of […]

This three-part series explores design patterns and strategies to enhance application resiliency through multi-cluster deployment on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). In this first part, we address a common challenge when using a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in multi-cluster environments. Organizations increasingly rely on Kubernetes—whether through Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or self-managed clusters on […]

Centralized egress is the principle of using a single, common inspection point for all network traffic destined for the internet. This approach is beneficial from a security perspective because it limits exposure to externally accessible malicious resources, such as malware command and control (C&C) infrastructure. This inspection is generally done by a firewall like AWS […]
