Category: Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes

The AWS Service Operator is an open source project in developer preview which allows to you manage your AWS resources directly from Kubernetes using the standard Kubernetes CLI, kubectl. It does so by modeling AWS Services as Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) in Kubernetes and applying those definitions to your cluster. This means that a developer can […]

Introduction The Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) uses the VPC CNI plugin for pod networking. The plugin runs as a DaemonSet and is responsible for assigning an IP address to pods. When managing an EKS cluster, it may be important to know how many IP addresses have been assigned and how many are […]

The Kubeflow project is designed to simplify the deployment of machine learning projects like TensorFlow on Kubernetes. There are also plans to add support for additional frameworks such as MXNet, Pytorch, Chainer, and more. These frameworks can leverage GPUs in the Kubernetes cluster for machine learning tasks. Recently, we announced support of P2 and P3 […]

We’ve talked about FaaS (Functions as a Service) in Running FaaS on a Kubernetes Cluster on AWS Using Kubeless by Sebastien Goasguen. In this post, Alex Ellis, founder of the OpenFaaS project, walks you through how to use OpenFaaS on Amazon EKS. OpenFaaS is one of the most popular tools in the FaaS space, with […]

It’s a joyful experience for a developer when you can focus just on building an application, and rely on a tool to do the grunt work of pushing that application to a Kubernetes cluster. When the tool makes use of your existing knowledge of git, it only adds to the pleasure! In this post, Tirumarai […]

  The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and Kubernetes Metrics Server are now supported by Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS). This makes it easy to scale your Kubernetes workloads managed by Amazon EKS in response to custom metrics. One of the benefits of using containers is the ability to quickly autoscale your application up or […]

Service Meshes enable service-to-service communication in a secure, reliable, and observable way. In this blog post, Matt Turner, CTO at Native Wave, explains the concept of a Service Mesh, shows how Istio can be installed as a Service Mesh on a Kubernetes cluster running on AWS using Amazon EKS, and then explains some key features […]

Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) provides an optimized Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and AWS CloudFormation template that make it easy to provision worker nodes for your Amazon EKS cluster on AWS. These assets are both open source and available now on Github. In addition to the EKS Optimized AMI, the Packer by Hashicorp […]

Arun, Abby, Brent and I all had the opportunity over the last two months to emcee the two AWS EKoSystem Days, in San Francisco and New York. These events brought together the launch of Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes, EKS (San Francisco), and the four-year anniversary of Kubernetes’ release and three years of its […]

The Amazon VPC Container Networking Interface (CNI) plugin allows Kubernetes pods to receive native AWS VPC IP addresses. Because the CNI plugin is a core part of Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS), the EKS team will continue to develop the project in collaboration with our partners and customers. Today, we are releasing version […]
