Many SaaS providers are leveraging Amazon EKS to build their solutions on AWS, as EKS provides builders with a range of different constructs that can be used to implement multi-tenant strategies. In this post, explore an architecture based on EKS that demonstrates a siloed SaaS deployment model, using Istio Service Mesh to manage request authentication and per-tenant routing. Istio is an open-source service mesh that many SaaS providers use for deploying their multi-tenant applications.

Amazon Lightsail is a virtual private server provider and the ideal service for simple workloads, quick deployments, or when getting started on AWS. Learn how monitoring Lightsail workloads with Datadog can help you ensure application performance and control costs. Datadog’s SaaS platform integrates and automates infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, and log management to provide unified, real-time observability of a technology stack.

Enterprises are embracing the Kubernetes orchestration platform for their DevOps and CI/CD processes. Amazon EKS makes this transition easy by managing the still relatively new Kubernetes ecosystem and ensuring IT admins can focus on the next area of innovation for their organizations. With the ability to deploy the Juniper cSRX Container Firewall in an Amazon EKS environment, customers can leverage the benefits of the container for protecting their workloads.

Much of the hardware used on the factory floor today has been in place for many years, and managing these devices from the internet often requires replacement of the hardware. Utilizing AWS IoT Greengrass and AWS Lambda functions allow legacy hardware to be maintained, while providing full internet connectivity and management. This post shows how 42Q, an AWS Industrial Software Competency Partner, uses AWS IoT Greengrass to allow legacy label printers to be cloud-enabled.

While organizations are evaluating the benefits of moving to the cloud for their primary needs, a sudden need for additional investments into the disaster recovery (DR) site upgrade can add an additional burden on the IT budget and slow down working on new business opportunities. This post provides a solution that can help organizations migrate their DR site to AWS with minimal changes to their applications, leveraging VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) and a variety of AWS services.

AWS Lambda allows you to run your code without provisioning or managing servers. Observability requires a different and more integrated set of telemetry that gives a comprehensive picture of your functions. Learn how this AWS service is used in practice and how Sumo Logic helps demystify Lambda observability by streamlining telemetry ingestion, unifying data, and correlating insights across disparate services.

Enterprise customers are modernizing existing workloads to cloud for various reasons. Cost optimization has always been a conversation starter, but that leads to application modernization and operational excellence, which brings agility to application development and enables faster GTM. Learn how Cognizant can help bridge the gap between the infrastructure-as-a-service and integration-platform-as-a-service platform models for modernizing batch processing applications on AWS.

Numerous legacy workloads, still hosted on premises, are mission-critical and hardly interruptible. Their migration to AWS must happen quasi-transparently for their users. This post details how the combination of AWS Outposts and CloudEndure can be used to solve for this issue. We demonstrate this by migrating a Solaris machine making use of the Charon SSP emulator by Stromasys, running on standard Amazon EC2 instances and using CloudEndure.

Customers running virtual machines on VMware Cloud on AWS have unique storage requirements and require a solution that provides a scalable, high performance, and feature-rich file storage. Learn how you can use Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP as one of your options for providing storage to virtual machines running on VMware Cloud on AWS. We’ll then discuss different connectivity options available for VMs to access these storage volumes.

Networking is the fundamental pillar required for connectivity to VMware Cloud on AWS and beyond. It’s imperative to ensure the network architecture implemented with VMware Cloud on AWS has the ability to scale in response to customer requirements. Learn how customers can scale connectivity globally to support their business requirements using AWS Direct Connect, VMware Transit Connect, AWS Direct Connect Gateway, and the NSX Multi-Edge feature.
