Introduction Organizations are embracing microservices-based architectures by refactoring large monolith applications into smaller, independent, and loosely coupled services. These independent services are faster to deploy and scale, enabling organizations to innovate and deliver faster. However, as the application grows, these microservices present their own challenges. For example, as you deploy tens or hundreds or thousands […]

HAQM EKS is becoming a popular choice among AWS customers for scheduling Spark applications on Kubernetes. It’s fully managed but still offers full Kubernetes capabilities for consolidating different workloads and getting a flexible scheduling API to optimize resources consumption. But Kubernetes is complex, and not all data engineers are familiar with how to set up […]

Kubernetes is open-source software that allows you to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. It manages clusters of HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) compute instances and runs containers on those instances with processes for deployment, maintenance, and scaling. Using Kubernetes, you can run any type of containerized application using the same toolset on […]

This post describes how to use HAQM Cognito to authenticate users for web apps running in an HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Services (HAQM EKS) cluster.  Behind any identity management system resides a complex network of systems meant to keep data and services secure. These systems handle functions such as directory services, access management, identity authentication, and […]

Companies worldwide are adopting containers to encapsulate their microservices, and many of them choose Kubernetes for automating deployment, scaling, and managing their […]

Kubernetes (sometimes referred to as K8s) is an open-source container orchestration engine and a fast-growing project hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). K8s has a massive adoption on premises and in the cloud for running stateless and stateful containerized workloads. Stateful workloads require persistent storage. To support on-premises and cloud-provider-related infrastructure like storage […]

NOTICE: October 04, 2024 – This post no longer reflects the best guidance for configuring a service mesh with HAQM ECS and HAQM EKS, and its examples no longer work as shown. For workloads running on HAQM ECS, please refer to newer content on HAQM ECS Service Connect, and for workloads running on HAQM EKS, […]
