Streamline the building and deployment of containerized applications (Level 200)

Provisioning cloud applications can be a challenging process that requires you to perform manual actions, write custom scripts, learn domain-specific languages, or have deep knowledge of the platform required to deploy. Tools like the AWS Copilot CLI and the AWS CDK provide powerful abstractions built on good practices enabling teams to deploy faster, and focus on their business applications. In this talk, we’ll dive into some real-world use cases and demonstrate how these tools can help development and platform teams meet their objectives with less friction along the way.

Many difficult problems in modern enterprise workloads can be solved with event-driven architectures. It can be challenging to work with large amounts of data in different data stores and locations. Teams building microservices architecture often find that integration with other applications and external services can make their workloads more monolithic and tightly coupled. In this session, learn how to use event-based architecture to decouple and decentralize application components. Discover how you can use AWS messaging services to connect microservices and coordinate data flow using minimal custom code.

Optimize Kubernetes autoscaling to improve performance and save costs (Level 200)

The cloud is all about elasticity and right-sizing. Microservice architectures are keen to be implemented in containers, and Kubernetes arguably the most common orchestrator to run them. These containers, being (usually) stateless, are good candidates to use the cloud elasticity, so scaling them should be a well-known task. We’ll talk about different scaling approaches and focus on Karpenter - the new groupless cluster autoscaler, that can dramatically improve the efficiency and cost of running workloads on your cluster.

Infrastructure patterns for running Kubernetes in the cloud and locally using Amazon EKS (Level 200)

In this session we will discuss the new possibilities of using Amazon's EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) technology outside of AWS's regions, allowing our customers to have a consistent technology stack between on-premises and cloud. We will understand the reasons and need behind these topologies, and then go into the details of using EKS Anywhere and the benefits it provides.

Amazon EKS with IPv6 (Level 200)

EKS’s support for IPv6 is focused on resolving the IP exhaustion problem, which is constrained by the limited size of the IPv4 address space, a significant concern raised by a number of our customers and is distinct from Kubernetes’ “IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack” feature. Administrators of Kubernetes clusters can concentrate on migrating and scaling applications instead of spending time working around IPv4 limitations. With the launch of IPv6 support in EKS, you can now create IPv6 Kubernetes clusters. In an IPv6 EKS cluster, pods and services will receive IPv6 addresses while maintaining the ability for legacy IPv4 endpoints to connect to services running on IPv6 clusters, as well as pods connecting to legacy IPv4 endpoints outside the cluster. All the pod-to-pod communication within a cluster is always IPV6. Within a VPC (/56), the IPv6 CIDR block size for IPv6 subnets is fixed at /64. This provides 2^64 (approximately 18 quintillion) IPv6 addresses allowing to scale your deployments on EKS.
