In the evolving cloud-native landscape, enterprises utilizing Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) often encounter challenges that hinder their pursuit of operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Notable among these challenges are the costs associated with Cross Availability Zone (AZ) traffic, with difficulties associated with achieving seamless scalability, hurdles in provisioning right-sized instances for nodes, and intricacies […]

In today’s cloud-native landscape, efficient management of event-driven workloads is essential for real-time data processing. Traditional autoscaling often falls short amidst unpredictable event volumes, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), which is a managed container orchestration platform and is well-suited for deploying container-based applications. By integrating Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA) […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS) provides excellent abstraction from managing the Kubernetes control plane and data plane nodes that are responsible for operating and managing a cluster. AWS offers managed Amazon Machine Images, or AMIs, for Amazon Linux 2, Bottlerocket, and Windows Server. Many customers have requirements, or simply prefer, to use Red […]

Introduction Karpenter is an open-source, high-performance Kubernetes cluster autoscaler that automatically provisions new nodes in response to unschedulable pods. Customers choose Karpenter for many reasons, such as improving the efficiency and cost of running workloads in their clusters. Karpenter works by configuring a custom resource called Provisioner. This Provisioner sets constraints on the nodes that […]

Introduction When adopting a Kubernetes platform, architect teams are often highly focused on INGRESS traffic patterns. Why? Kubernetes has a first-class support for in-cluster traffic flows as well as into-cluster traffic flow implemented by ClusterIP and the INGRESS constructs .The object model allows the load balancing of Kubernetes pods natively and also extends the constructs […]

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 […]

Introduction In microservices architectures, teams often build and manage internal applications that they expose as private API endpoints and publicly expose those endpoints through a centralized API gateway where security protections are centrally managed. These API endpoints allow both internal and external users to leverage the functionality of those applications. The separation of concerns between […]

Introduction In recent years, there’s been a remarkable surge in the adoption of Kubernetes for data analytics and machine learning (ML) workloads in the tech industry. This increase is underpinned by a growing recognition that Kubernetes offers a reliable and scalable infrastructure to handle these demanding computational workloads. Furthermore, a recent wave of Generative AI […]
