Migrating from AWS App Mesh to HAQM VPC Lattice
After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue AWS App Mesh, effective September 30th, 2026. Until this date, existing AWS App Mesh customers will be able to use the service as normal, including creating new resources and onboarding new accounts via the AWS CLI and AWS CloudFormation. Additionally, AWS will continue to provide […]
Rippling’s journey migrating to the new VPC CNI Network Policy Engine
This post was coauthored by Venkatesh Nannan, Sr. Engineering Manager at Rippling Introduction Rippling is a workforce management system that eliminates the friction of running a business, combining HR, IT, and Finance apps on a unified data platform. Rippling’s mission is to free up intelligent people to work on hard problems. Existing Stack Rippling uses […]
HAQM VPC CNI introduces Enhanced Subnet Discovery
Users modernizing their applications using HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) on AWS often run into critical IPv4 address space exhaustion driven by scale. They want to maximize usage of the VPC CIDRs and subnets provisioned for the EKS pods without introducing additional operational complexity. We believe that use of IPv6 address space is the […]
How to leverage Application Load Balancer’s advanced request routing to route application traffic across multiple HAQM EKS clusters
Introduction The AWS Load Balancer Controller is a Kubernetes Special Interest Group (SIG) project, which enables organizations reduce their Kubernetes compute costs and the complexity of their application routing configuration. As you deploy workloads on HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS), the controller simplifies exposing those applications by automating the provisioning and management and configuration […]
Deploy an HAQM EKS cluster across AWS Outposts with Intra-VPC communication
Introduction Intra-VPC Communication enables network communication between subnets in the same HAQM Virtual Private Cloud (HAQM VPC) across multiple physical AWS Outposts using the Outposts local gateways (LGW) via direct VPC routing. With this feature, you can leverage a single HAQM VPC architecture for communication between applications and services running on disparate AWS Outposts. You […]
Implement AWS IAM authentication with HAQM VPC Lattice and HAQM EKS
Introduction HAQM VPC Lattice is a fully managed application networking service built directly into the AWS network infrastructure that you use to connect, secure, and monitor all of your services across multiple accounts and virtual private clouds (VPCs). With HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS), customers can use HAQM VPC Lattice through the use of […]
Use shared VPC subnets in HAQM EKS
Introduction In the ever-changing landscape of cloud computing, organizations continue to face the challenge of effectively managing their virtual network environments. To address this challenge, many organizations have embraced shared HAQM virtual private clouds (VPCs) as a means to streamline network administration, and reduce costs. Shared VPCs not only provide these advantages but also enable […]
Build secure application networks with VPC Lattice, HAQM ECS, and AWS Lambda
Introduction In this post, we’ll explore how to publish and consume services running on HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) and AWS Lambda, as HAQM VPC Lattice services. For an introduction to HAQM VPC Lattice, please read the documentation here. One main reason customer experience a lower velocity of innovation, is the complexity they deal […]
HAQM VPC CNI now supports Kubernetes Network Policies
Introduction Today, we’re excited to announce the native support for enforcing Kubernetes network policies with HAQM VPC Container Networking Interface (CNI) Plugin. You can now use HAQM VPC CNI to implement both pod networking and network policies to secure the traffic in your Kubernetes clusters. Native support for network policies has been one of the […]
Automating custom networking to solve IPv4 exhaustion in HAQM EKS
Introduction When HAQM VPC Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin assigns IPv4 addresses to Pods, it allocates them from the VPC CIDR range assigned to the cluster. While it makes Pods first-class citizens within the VPC network, it often leads to exhaustion of the limited number of IPv4 addresses available in the VPCs. The long term […]
