GitOps model for provisioning and bootstrapping HAQM EKS clusters using Crossplane and Flux

In an earlier blog (Part 1 of the series), I discussed the adoption of the GitOps model as an efficient strategy for provisioning cloud provider-specific managed resources, such as, for example, HAQM S3 bucket and HAQM RDS instance, that application workloads depend on. The blog presented the details of implementing a use case where an HAQM […]

In addition to managing the so-called "Day Two" operations, the GitOps model can be used to automate cluster lifecycle management as well. In this blog post, we take a look at implementing a real-world use case by leveraging the strength of two open-source tools, namely, Crossplane and Argo CD. A production-ready HAQM EKS cluster is employed as the central management cluster and used to manage the tasks of both provisioning other HAQM EKS clusters and deploying workloads on to them.

GitOps model for provisioning and bootstrapping HAQM EKS clusters using Crossplane and Argo CD

Customers are increasingly using multiple Kubernetes clusters to manage their application delivery to different environments.  Managed services like HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) help customers offload the onerous task of managing the Kubernetes control plane. But cluster operators face the challenge of managing the lifecycles of these clusters and deploying applications consistently to multiple […]

Getting started with AWS App Mesh and HAQM EKS

NOTICE: October 04, 2024 – This post no longer reflects the best guidance for configuring a service mesh with HAQM EKS and its examples no longer work as shown. Please refer to newer content on HAQM VPC Lattice. ——– In this blog post we explain service mesh usage in containerized microservices and walk you through […]

Securing EKS Ingress With Contour And Let’s Encrypt The GitOps Way

This is a guest post by Stefan Prodan of Weaveworks. In Kubernetes terminology, Ingress exposes HTTP(S) routes from outside the cluster to services running within the cluster. An Ingress can be configured to provide Kubernetes services with externally-reachable URLs while performing load balancing and SSL/TLS termination. Kubernetes comes with an Ingress resource and there are several controllers that […]

Help us write a new chapter for Gitops, Kubernetes, and Open Source collaboration

Introduction The HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) team sees the ecosystem around automated software deployment as a technology frontier ripe with potential for groundbreaking innovation. Over the last twenty years, the way in which developers deploy and manage their applications has changed dramatically. Technology improvements in packaging, automation, and virtualization as well as shifts in […]
