A deep dive into Bottlerocket ECS Updater

Last month, we announced the general availability of the HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) optimized Bottlerocket AMI. Today, I would like to focus on the Bottlerocket ECS Updater. The ECS Updater is a service you can install into your ECS cluster that helps you keep your Bottlerocket container instances up to date. Before I […]

Catching up with Managed Node Groups in HAQM EKS

Since its launch in 2018, HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) has continued to deliver upon and expand its mission to simplify the process of building, securing, operating, and maintaining Kubernetes clusters. The first realization of that mission was a managed Kubernetes control plane, swapping the heavy lifting of provisioning, curating, and assembling the various […]

Persistent Storage using EFS for EKS on Bottlerocket

In this post, we discuss about how to achieve persistent storage with HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) clusters running on Bottlerocket OS with HAQM Elastic File System (HAQM EFS). Persistent storage is needed for long running stateful applications to persist state for high availability or to scale out around shared datasets. This is true […]

Getting started with Bottlerocket and HAQM ECS

Last week we announced the general availability of the HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS)-optimized Bottlerocket AMI and Bottlerocket support for HAQM ECS is now generally available. Bottlerocket is an open source project that focuses on security and maintainability, providing a reliable, and consistent Linux distribution for hosting container-based workloads. In this post, I am […]
