Automating AL2023 custom hardened AMI updates for HAQM EKS managed nodes
This post was authored by Abhishek Nanda, Containers Specialist Solutions Architect and co-written with Jayaprakash Alawala, Principal Container Specialist Solutions Architect and Rajesh Singh, Sr. Containers Specialist BDM. Introduction HAQM EKS users in the Regulatory and Compliance industry invest time and effort to build EKS custom AMIs for the worker nodes Operating System (OS) to […]
Automating custom HAQM EKS worker node builds using EC2 Image Builder
Customers who are building their “Golden Image” HAQM Machine Images (AMIs) using EC2 Image Builder may wish to extend their Image Builder pipelines to build out their HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) worker nodes as well. In this blog, we will show you how to do this and provide you with AWS CloudFormation templates […]
Configure HAQM EKS for environmental sustainability
Introduction Sustainable cloud design requires understanding and minimizing the impacts of architectural decisions. With conscientious cloud architecture, we can innovate rapidly while treading lightly on our shared environment. As cloud computing becomes ubiquitous, it’s imperative that we build sustainable cloud architectures that minimize environmental impacts. While cloud economies of scale improve efficiency, our design choices […]
Diving into Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with Hosted Control Planes (HCP)
Introduction Since its first appearance on AWS in 2015, Red Hat OpenShift has had a similar architecture. Regardless of it being OpenShift 3 or OpenShift 4, self-managed OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), or managed ROSA. All this time customers query the Control Plane existing within their AWS account and explore getting the most return-on-investment (ROI) to […]
HAQM ECS enables easier EC2 capacity management, with managed instance draining
Introduction HAQM Elastic Container Service (ECS) deploys and manages your containerized tasks on AWS infrastructure. Customers can avoid the need to maintain compute instances by using HAQM ECS to deploy tasks on serverless AWS Fargate capacity. But some customers prefer to use HAQM ECS with HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) as capacity. Using HAQM […]
Run HAQM EKS on RHEL Worker Nodes with IPVS Networking
Introduction HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Services (HAQM EKS) provides excellent abstraction from managing the Kubernetes control plane and data plane nodes that are responsible for operating and managing a cluster. AWS offers managed HAQM Machine Images, or AMIs, for HAQM Linux 2, Bottlerocket, and Windows Server. Many customers have requirements, or simply prefer, to use Red […]
Maximizing GPU utilization with NVIDIA’s Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) on HAQM EKS: Running more pods per GPU for enhanced performance
With the Generative Artificial intelligence (GenAI) and machine learning (ML) surge, GPU-intensive tasks such as machine learning, graphics rendering, and high-performance computing are becoming increasingly prevalent. However, many of these tasks do not always require the full performance and resources of a high-end GPU. This underutilization of GPU resources leads to inefficiencies, increased costs, and […]
Deploy Generative AI Models on HAQM EKS
Introduction Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is transforming the way businesses function and is accelerating the pace of innovation. In general, the AI field is changing the way businesses utilize technology. Generative AI technology involves tuning and deploying Large Language Models (LLM), and gives developers access to those models to execute prompts and conversations. Platform […]
Implement custom service discovery for HAQM ECS Anywhere tasks
Introduction HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) is a managed container orchestration service offered by AWS. It simplifies the deployment, management, and scalability of containerized applications using HAQM ECS task definitions through the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS Software Development Kits (AWS SDKs). Customers who require running containerized workloads, […]
Improvements to HAQM ECS task launch behavior when tasks have prolonged shutdown
HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) now launches tasks faster on container instances that are running tasks that have a prolonged shutdown period. This enables customers to scale their workloads faster and improve infrastructure utilization. About HAQM ECS scheduling HAQM ECS is a container orchestrator that’s designed to be able to launch and track application […]
