AWS offers a rich set of developer tools to host code, build, and deploy your application and/or infrastructure to AWS. These include AWS CodePipeline, for continuous integration and continuous deployment orchestration; AWS CodeCommit, a fully-managed source control service; AWS CodeBuild, a fully-managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages; […]

At the day two keynote of the GitHub Universe 2019 conference on Nov 14, Amazon Web Services announced that we have open sourced four new GitHub Actions for Amazon ECS and ECR. Using these GitHub Actions, developers and DevOps engineers can easily set up continuous delivery pipelines in their code repositories on GitHub, deploying container workloads to Amazon Elastic Container […]

We have an Open Source track at re:Invent this year! You can find it in the re:Invent catalog by searching on OPN in the search bar. The Open Source track covers topics from PartiQL to robotics to machine learning to Open Distro for Elasticsearch to BPF to GraphQL to Spinnaker to Kubernetes to… more. But […]

  As AWS continues to increase our participation in a wide variety of open source communities, we’ve been fortunate to get to work with a range of talented developers. One of these contributors is Dr. Colin Percival, a long-time FreeBSD developer perhaps best known for his work on FreeBSD Update and Portsnap. Colin is also […]

I work closely with partners, helping them to architect solutions on AWS for their customers. Customers running their microservices-based applications on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) are looking for guidance on architecting complete end-to-end Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CD) pipelines using Jenkins and Spinnaker. The benefits of using Jenkins include that it […]

High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster administrators typically need a way to let their users to create HPC clusters quickly and easily from a common Windows desktop, while enforcing security, isolation, scalability, and cost effectiveness. This important step could be part of a wider user workflow, or an established procedure followed by HPC users to start […]

Microservices-based architecture helps reduce the complexity of application components, while posing a new class of problems related to the connectivity between microservices. Keeping track of all your application components, whether custom-built or managed AWS services, across multiple stages and deployments is a challenging task. AWS Cloud Map is a fully-managed service discovery tool for all […]

Amazon runs thousands of Java production services; both we and our customers depend heavily on  various distributions of the JDK (Java Development Kit). In 2016 we started building Amazon Corretto, our OpenJDK binary distribution, and started using it to run AWS and other Amazon services. In 2018, we open sourced Corretto and made it available […]

Our robot overlords may not take over anytime soon, but when they do, they’ll likely be running ROS. ROS, or Robot Operating System, was launched over a decade ago to unite developers in building “a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions that aim to simplify the task of creating complex and robust robot behavior across […]

Kubernetes has gained a great deal of traction for deploying applications in containers in production, because it provides a powerful abstraction for managing container lifecycles, optimizing infrastructure resources, improving agility in the delivery process, and facilitating dependencies management. Now that a custom Spark scheduler for Kubernetes is available, many AWS customers are asking how to […]
