Enable Private Access to the Amazon EKS Kubernetes API with AWS PrivateLink

Introduction The adoption and large-scale growth of Kubernetes in recent years has resulted in businesses deploying multiple Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters to support their growing number of microservice based applications. The Amazon EKS clusters are usually deployed in separate Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs) and often in separate AWS accounts. A […]

Using SBOM to find vulnerable container images running on Amazon EKS clusters

Introduction When you purchase a packaged food item in your local grocery store, you probably check the list of ingredients written to understand what’s inside and make sure you aren’t consuming ingredients inadvertently that you don’t want to or are known to have adverse health effects. Do you think in a similar way when you […]

Migrate cron jobs to event-driven architectures using Amazon Elastic Container Service and Amazon EventBridge

Introduction Many customers use traditional cron job schedulers in on-premise systems. They need a simple approach to move these scheduled tasks to AWS without refactoring while unlocking the scalability of the cloud. A lift-and-shift migration to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is always a possibility, but that doesn’t take advantage of cloud-native services or […]

Enable continuous deployment based on semantic versioning using AWS App Runner

Introduction In this modern cloud era, customers automatically build, test, and deploy the new version of their application multiple times a day. This common scenario in the software development life cycle creates faster delivery of features, bug fixes, and other updates to end users. One key aspect of continuous deployment is semantic versioning, a system […]

How to deploy your Quarkus application to Amazon EKS

This blog post is a continuation of an existing series of articles covering different use cases for Quarkus (Optimize your Java application for AWS Lambda with Quarkus and Optimize your Java application for Amazon ECS with Quarkus). In this blog post, I want to show how the Quarkus stack and additional extensions can be used […]

Monitoring the Amazon ECS Agent

Introduction Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that allows organizations to deploy, manage, and scale containerized workloads. It’s deeply integrated with the AWS ecosystem to provide a secure and easy-to-use solution for managing applications not only in the cloud but now also on your infrastructure with Amazon ECS […]

Automatically enable group metrics collection for Amazon EKS managed node groups

Automatically enable group metrics collection for Amazon EKS managed node groups

Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) managed node groups automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of Kubernetes nodes (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances) for Amazon EKS Kubernetes clusters. Managed nodes are provisioned as part of an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group that’s managed for you by Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS doesn’t enable […]

Getting visibility into your Amazon EKS Cross-AZ pod to pod network bytes

Getting visibility into your Amazon EKS Cross-AZ pod to pod network bytes

Introduction Many customers use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to host their mission-critical applications. As a best practice, we ask our customers to spread their applications across multiple distinct availability zones (AZ). Because “everything fails all the time,” Werner Vogel, CTO, Amazon To achieve high availability, customers deploy Amazon EKS worker nodes (Amazon EC2 […]

ECS auto scaling using custom metrics

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) Auto Scaling using custom metrics

Introduction Amazon ECS eliminates the need to install, operate, and scale your own cluster management infrastructure. Customers are using horizontal scalability to deploy and scale their microservices applications running on Amazon ECS. They use the Application Auto Scaling service to automatically scale based on metrics data. Amazon ECS typically measures service utilization based on average […]

Amazon Elastic Container Service Anomaly Detector using Amazon EventBridge

This post was contributed by Ugur KIRA and Santosh Kumar. This concept originated from discussions with Skyscanner UK regarding to manage ECS clusters at large scale. Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications together using data from your own applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services. EventBridge […]
