Amazon EBS CSI driver is now generally available in Amazon EKS add-ons
Introduction To provide workloads with optional persistent storage, Kubernetes implements volume lifecycle operations and supports various types of storage for use with these operations. Currently, storage provider–specific code is kept in the Kubernetes project source code, which is referred to as in-tree. This code is complex to maintain and release, and is tied to the […]
Managing Pod Scheduling Constraints and Groupless Node Upgrades with Karpenter in Amazon EKS
Feb 2024: This blog has been updated for Karpenter version v0.33.1 and v1beta1 specification. About Karpenter Karpenter is an open-source node lifecycle management project built for Kubernetes. It observes the aggregate resource requests of unschedulable pods and makes decisions to launch new nodes and terminate them to reduce scheduling latencies and infrastructure costs sending commands to […]
Streaming Kubernetes Events in Slack
IT operations teams know that detecting an issue early on can help them avert downtime and cascading failures. Many teams stay on top of infrastructure events by using built-in alert management capabilities in monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Amazon CloudWatch. However, these alert rules are configured centrally in monitoring tools, and engineers often receive […]

For workloads running on Amazon ECS, please refer to newer content on Amazon ECS Service Connect, and for workloads running on Amazon EKS, […]
Diving into IAM Roles for Service Accounts
A common challenge architects face when designing a Kubernetes solution on AWS is how to grant containerized workload permissions to access an AWS service or resource. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides fine-grained access control where you can specify who can access which AWS service or resources, ensuring the principle of least privilege. The challenge […]
How to route UDP traffic into Kubernetes
Since its release, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) has been helping customers to run their applications reliably and at scale. UDP, or User Datagram Protocol, is a low-latency protocol that is ideal for workloads such as real-time streaming, online gaming, and IoT. The Network Load Balancer (NLB) is designed to handle tens of millions […]
