Container Orchestration platforms, such as HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS), have simplified the process of building, securing, operating, and maintaining container-based applications. Therefore, they have helped organizations focus on building applications. Customers have started adopting event-driven deployment, allowing Kubernetes deployments to scale automatically in response to metrics from various sources dynamically. By implementing event-driven […]

Service Meshes are an integral part of the Kubernetes environment that enables secure, reliable, and observable communication. Istio is an open-source service mesh that provides advanced network features without requiring any changes to the application code. These capabilities include service-to-service authentication, monitoring, and more. Istio generates detailed telemetry for all service communications within a mesh. This telemetry […]

Managing the deployment of containers in a multi-tenant environment presents a number of new challenges for many of my customers. Some organizations have explored building and managing their own Kubernetes container orchestration environment, but the management challenges lead them to evaluate HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). Particularly, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are using a […]

Apache Spark is an open-source lightning-fast cluster computing framework built for distributed data processing. With the combination of Cloud, Spark delivers high performance for both batch and real-time data processing at a petabyte scale. Spark on Kubernetes is supported from Spark 2.3 onwards, and it gained a lot of traction among enterprises for high performance and […]

Publish the Standardized EKS cluster and container resources using AWS Service Catalog The pace of application development in modern cloud native environments is continuing to grow faster along with business innovation. Many companies are having difficulty figuring out how to maintain their governance best practices and compliance requirements while sustaining agile innovation culture. AWS Service […]

UPDATE: This blog post has been published to include information about the recently added support for KEDA with the HAQM Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP).” Orchestration platforms such as HAQM EKS and HAQM ECS have simplified the process of building, securing, operating, and maintaining container-based applications, thereby helping organizations focus on building applications. We simplified this further […]

Automated scaling is an approach to scaling up or down workloads automatically based on resource usage. In Kubernetes, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) can scale pods based on observed CPU utilization and memory usage. In more complex scenarios, we would account for other metrics before deciding the scaling. For example, most web and mobile backends […]

Rancher is a popular open-source container management tool utilized by many organizations that provides an intuitive user interface for managing and deploying the Kubernetes clusters on HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) or HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2). When Rancher deploys Kubernetes onto nodes in HAQM EC2, it uses Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE), which is Rancher’s […]

More and more applications are being developed using serverless architectures with multiple microservices. Customers use managed AWS services including AWS Lambda, HAQM ECS and HAQM EKS running on HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and AWS Fargate for running their code along with services like HAQM API Gateway, HAQM SNS, HAQM SQS, HAQM DynamoDB, HAQM S3, and others. Developers use multiple […]

Container adoption has been increasing rapidly in the past few years. Customers are deploying workloads of all sizes on HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS). Typically, cluster administrators deploy several business applications and workloads on a cluster to achieve more efficient deployment density. On large clusters in a shared infrastructure where workloads of different sizes […]
