Introduction To provide workloads with optional persistent storage, Kubernetes implements volume lifecycle operations and supports various types of storage for use with these operations. Currently, storage provider–specific code is kept in the Kubernetes project source code, which is referred to as in-tree. This code is complex to maintain and release, and is tied to the […]

Feb 2024: This blog has been updated for Karpenter version v0.33.1 and v1beta1 specification. About Karpenter Karpenter is an open-source node lifecycle management project built for Kubernetes. It observes the aggregate resource requests of unschedulable pods and makes decisions to launch new nodes and terminate them to reduce scheduling latencies and infrastructure costs sending commands to […]

IT operations teams know that detecting an issue early on can help them avert downtime and cascading failures. Many teams stay on top of infrastructure events by using built-in alert management capabilities in monitoring tools such as Prometheus and HAQM CloudWatch. However, these alert rules are configured centrally in monitoring tools, and engineers often receive […]

Today, we are happy to announce that Bottlerocket, a Linux-based, open-source, container-optimized operating system, now supports NVIDIA GPUs for accelerated computing workloads. You can now use NVIDIA-based HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance types with Bottlerocket to accelerate your machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and similar workloads that require GPU compute devices. This release […]

A common challenge architects face when designing a Kubernetes solution on AWS is how to grant containerized workload permissions to access an AWS service or resource. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides fine-grained access control where you can specify who can access which AWS service or resources, ensuring the principle of least privilege. The challenge […]

Legacy applications in the automotive industry tend to run on Windows. Customers want to scale these workloads on Kubernetes alongside their Linux workloads. The automotive industry has a particularly high standard on security, and an HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) cluster with private endpoint is applicable to run their workloads. This blog post shows […]

Since its release, HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) has been helping customers to run their applications reliably and at scale. UDP, or User Datagram Protocol, is a low-latency protocol that is ideal for workloads such as real-time streaming, online gaming, and IoT. The Network Load Balancer (NLB) is designed to handle tens of millions […]

Introduction HAQM CloudWatch Container Insights helps customers collect, aggregate, and summarize metrics and logs from containerized applications and microservices. Metrics data is collected as performance log events using the embedded metric format. These performance log events use a structured JSON schema that enables high-cardinality data to be ingested and stored at scale. From this data, […]

Introduction Microservices architectures are default for cloud-native applications. Greater granular scalability, isolation of functions, and the possibility of having independent teams working on specific application functionalities are just some of the reasons that such an architectural pattern has been widely adopted. Together with the fact that new applications are being borne in the cloud, you […]
