Tag: Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

In the cloud-native landscape, Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes serve as the backbone for persistent storage in containerized applications. As organizations scale their Kubernetes workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), they increasingly rely on EBS volumes to provide high-performance, durable storage for stateful applications such as databases, message queues, and data […]

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that optimizes large language model (LLM) outputs by referencing authoritative knowledge bases outside of the model’s training data before generating responses. This addresses common limitations of traditional LLMs, such as outdated knowledge, hallucinated facts, and misinterpreted terminology. Organizations can implement RAG to enhance their generative AI applications with current, […]

Organizations are increasingly adopting a multi-account Amazon Web Services (AWS) strategy to achieve enhanced security, governance, and operational efficiency at scale. Implementing separate accounts for production and non-production environments enables enterprises to group workloads based on business purpose, apply distinct security postures by environments, restrict access to sensitive data, and streamline cost management. You can […]

The gaming industry is undergoing significant growth, with AI-driven interactive experiences setting new standards. Anuttacon, an independent research lab, is committed to developing humanistic general intelligence that enables seamless, real-time interactions across text, voice, visuals, and more. Their mission is to create multimodal AI capable of genuine emotional understanding and expressive communication—technology that both thinks […]

Amazon S3 is the best place to build data lakes because of its durability, availability, scalability, and security. In 2023, we introduced Mountpoint for Amazon S3, an open source file client that allows Linux-based applications to access S3 objects through a file API. Shortly after, we took this one step further with the Mountpoint for […]

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. For users running applications and workloads on Kubernetes, protecting resources and data from accidental deletion or hardware failures is crucial for maintaining business continuity and meeting compliance requirements. While Kubernetes provides high availability through its control plane […]

Domino Data Lab is an AWS Partner Network (APN) partner that provides a central system of record for data science activity across an organization. The Domino solution delivers orchestration for all data science artifacts, including AWS infrastructure, data and services. As part of the solution, Domino’s platform leverages the scale, security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of […]

For many stateful containerized applications, such as those using Kubernetes orchestration, each stateful pod (the smallest deployable container object) may require dedicated persistent storage. A block storage solution is a good fit due to its high performance, low latency, and persistence attributes. If a compute instance has more compute resources to spare, you can only […]

This blog covers performance metrics, optimizations, and configuration tuning specific to OSS Spark running on Amazon EKS. For customers using or considering Amazon EMR on EKS, refer to the service documentation to get started and this blog post for the latest performance benchmark. Performance is top of mind for customers running streaming, extract transform load […]
