Microservices and containers are revolutionizing how modern applications are built, deployed, and managed in the cloud. However, developing and operating microservices can introduce significant complexity, often requiring developers to spend valuable time on cross-cutting concerns like service discovery, state management, and observability. Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) is an open source runtime for building microservices on […]

Snowflake Corporate IT Cloud Operations reached a critical juncture in its cloud infrastructure evolution. Managing large-scale containerized workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) demanded a modern, secure, and efficient operating system. The existing setup, running on Amazon Linux 2 (AL2), was functional but presented several challenges. Security hardening required frequent updates and patching, […]

When we introduced our new experimental project Kube Resource Orchestrator (kro) in November last year at KubeCon North America, we were thrilled by the initial response. Customers are excited about kro’s simplicity, and we have seen some creative and novel solutions to common problems. We have heard from platform teams looking to simplify resource management, […]

Today, we’re excited to release Kube Resource Orchestrator (kro), a new experimental open source project that simplifies and empowers the use of custom APIs and resources with Kubernetes. With kro, you can define complex, multi-resource API extensions for reuse in any Kubernetes cluster. Defining new resource groups with kro is like creating your own custom […]

In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, containerization has become an essential tool for building and deploying applications. With all the necessary tools and dependencies encapsulated in a container, developers can effortlessly set up and replicate development environments on various machines. The key steps involved in building and running containers typically include: Building container images using […]

Learn how to use open source Dapr on AWS for service invocation, pub/sub communication, workflow, and state management.

This is the fourth blog post of our “Istio on EKS” series. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Istio, a powerful service mesh, enables organizations to implement a zero trust security model on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). We will start by understanding how Istio implements peer authentication between microservices by Mutual Transport […]

Cilium is an open source solution for providing, securing, and observing network connectivity between workloads, powered by the revolutionary kernel technology called extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF). eBPF enables the dynamic insertion of security, visibility, and networking logic into the Linux kernel. Cilium provides high-performance networking, advanced load balancing, transparent encryption, and observability. Cilium was […]
