By Yael Grossman Sr Compute Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS, Roei Jacobovich Software Engineer at Sentra Introduction In this post, we’ll illustrate how Sentra utilizes HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS), AWS Fargate , EC2 Spot, Karpenter, and an open-source version of Dagster, a cloud-native orchestrator, to run efficient and scalable data processing workloads on […]

Introduction .NET Developers commonly design Windows-based applications with Active Directory (AD) integration running on domain-joined servers to facilitate authentication and authorization between services and users. Since containers cannot be domain-joined, running these applications in a Windows-based containers required configuring group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA), domain-joined Kubernetes Windows nodes, webhooks and cluster roles to enable Windows […]

Introduction To help customers run their Windows applications in a more streamlined manner, we launched the support for HAQM EKS Managed Node Group (MNG) support for Windows containers on December 15, 2022. HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) MNGs automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of nodes (HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud [HAQM EC2] instances) for […]

Introduction In May 2021 we introduced AWS App Runner, the simplest way to build and run your containerized web application in AWS. AWS App Runner gives you a fully managed container-native service. There are no orchestrators to configure, build pipelines to set up, load balancers to optimize, or Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates to rotate. […]

Introduction The Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks are best practices for the secure configuration of a target system. They define various Benchmarks for Kubernetes control plane and the data plane. For HAQM EKS clusters, it is strongly recommended to follow the CIS HAQM EKS Benchmark. If the data plane of an HAQM EKS cluster uses HAQM Linux […]

Introduction HAQM Elastic Container Service (ECS) customers who use Cluster auto scaling (CAS) have expressed that they would like to scale-in more quickly so that they can avoid paying extra charges for compute resources during scale-in events. To make scaling-in more responsive, today we are pleased to introduce an enhancement to increase the scale-in step […]

This post was written in collaboration with Neel Patel, Drug Discovery Scientist, Nvidia. Drug discovery is the process through which potential new medicines are identified. It involves a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacology, as well as computer science.

This post was co-written by Lukonde Mwila, Principal Technical Evangelist at SUSE, an AWS Container Hero, and a HashiCorp Ambassador. Introduction Cloud-native technologies are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and Kubernetes is at the forefront of this movement. Today, Kubernetes is seeing widespread adoption across organizations in a variety of different industries. When implemented properly, Kubernetes can […]

Years before HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) was released, our customers told us they wanted a service that would simplify Kubernetes management. Many of them were running self-managed clusters on HAQM Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2) and were having challenges upgrading, scaling, and maintaining the Kubernetes control plane. When EKS launched in 2018, it aimed to […]
