At re:Invent in November 2022 we announced a new HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) solution for service-to-service communication called HAQM ECS Service Connect. HAQM ECS Service Connect enables easy communication between microservices and across HAQM Virtual Private Clouds (HAQM VPCs) by leveraging AWS Cloud Map namespaces and logical service names. This allows you to […]

The Kubernetes project is made up of a number of special interest groups (SIGs) that focus on a particular part of the Kubernetes ecosystem. The Storage SIG is focused on different types of storage (block and file) and ensuring that storage is available to containers when they are scheduled. One of the subprojects of the Storage […]

This blog is no longer up to date and we recommend reviewing the HAQM EKS Blueprints for CDK Pipeline SDK module which makes it easier to create infrastructure Continuous Delivery pipelines via AWS CodePipeline. Customers are looking for ways to automate the deployment of their HAQM EKS clusters across different versions, environments, accounts, and Regions. […]

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that offers the same AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility, in the form of a physical rack connected to the AWS global network. AWS compute, storage, database, and other services run locally on Outposts, and you can […]

In an earlier blog (Part 1 of the series), I discussed the adoption of the GitOps model as an efficient strategy for provisioning cloud provider-specific managed resources, such as, for example, HAQM S3 bucket and HAQM RDS instance, that application workloads depend on. The blog presented the details of implementing a use case where an HAQM […]

Today, we introduced user authentication for HAQM EKS clusters from an OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider (IDP). This feature allows customers to integrate an OIDC identity provider with a new or existing HAQM EKS cluster running Kubernetes version 1.16 or later. The OIDC IDP can be used as an alternative to, or along with AWS […]

AWS CodeDeploy has extended blue/green deployment support for Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) to include canary and linear deployments for applications hosted on AWS Fargate or HAQM Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2). Blue/green deployments are a safe deployment strategy provided by AWS CodeDeploy for minimizing interruptions caused by changing application versions. This is accomplished by creating […]

This post was contributed by AWS Container Hero, Liz Rice, VP Open Source Engineering at Aqua Security. If you’re working with containers, it’s important to scan your images for known vulnerabilities, so that you don’t deploy code that an attacker can easily exploit. A good way of ensuring that all your deployed images get this […]
