NOTE: Since this blog post was written, much about Kubeflow has changed. While we are leaving it up for historical reference, more accurate information about Kubeflow on AWS can be found here. The Kubeflow project is designed to simplify the deployment of machine learning projects like TensorFlow on Kubernetes. There are also plans to add […]

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 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 […]

We have recently begun contributing to an exciting open source project, Spinnaker from Netflix. Spinnaker is a cloud-based continuous delivery platform for releasing software changes rapidly and reliably. Spinnaker makes it easier for developers to focus on writing code without having to worry about the underlying cloud infrastructure. It integrates seamlessly with tools such as […]

There are a number of ways to create a Kubernetes cluster using Amazon Elastic Container Service. eksctl gives you a simple, single, one-line command to bring up a cluster with a basic VPC, and completes the process by writing a new KUBECONFIG and deploying the aws-auth ConfigMap, allowing you to get up and running with […]
