Effective use: HAQM ECS lifecycle events with HAQM CloudWatch logs insights

Introduction We have observed a growing adoption of container services among both startups and established companies. This trend is driven by the ease of deploying applications and migrating from on-premises environments to the cloud. One platform of choice for many of our customers is HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS). The powerful simplicity of HAQM […]

Run time sensitive workloads on ECS Fargate with clock accuracy tracking

Introduction In part 1 and part 2 of this series, the importance of measuring time accuracy and relevant concepts were discussed. Additionally, we covered specifics on ways to put those concepts into practice, track metrics using HAQM CloudWatch and implement a practical solution for HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) instances. In this part 3, […]

Preventing log loss with non-blocking mode in the AWSLogs container log driver

Introduction For improved observability and troubleshooting, it is recommended to ship container logs from the compute platform to a container running on to a centralized logging server. In the real world, the logging server may occasionally be unreachable or unable to accept logs. There is an architectural tradeoff when designing for log server failures. Service […]

Autoscaling HAQM ECS services based on custom metrics with Application Auto Scaling

Introduction Application Auto Scaling is a web service for developers and system administrators who need a solution for automatically scaling their scalable resources for AWS services such as HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) services, HAQM DynamoDB tables, AWS Lambda Provisioned Concurrency, and more. Application Auto Scaling now offers support for scaling such resources using […]

How to rapidly scale your application with ALB on EKS (without losing traffic)

To meet user demand, dynamic HTTP-based applications require constant scaling of Kubernetes pods. For applications exposed through Kubernetes ingress objects, the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) distributes incoming traffic automatically across the newly scaled replicas. When Kubernetes applications scale down due to a decline in demand, certain situations will result in brief interruptions for end […]

Monitoring the HAQM ECS Agent

Introduction HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that allows organizations to deploy, manage, and scale containerized workloads. It’s deeply integrated with the AWS ecosystem to provide a secure and easy-to-use solution for managing applications not only in the cloud but now also on your infrastructure with HAQM ECS […]

Automate rollbacks for HAQM ECS rolling deployments with CloudWatch alarms

Introduction HAQM ECS now offers native support for monitoring and automatically reacting to changes during a rolling update by using HAQM CloudWatch metric alarms. This enables customers to easily automate discovery and remediation for failed deployments and minimize the performance and availability impacts. Customers can configure HAQM CloudWatch alarms for their rolling updates using the […]
