Introduction This is Part 2 in a series that demonstrates how to build an extensible and flexible GitOps system, based on a hub-and-spoke model to manage the lifecycles of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters, workloads deployed to these clusters as well as their dependencies on other AWS-managed resources. It’s recommended that you read Part […]

Introduction GitOps is a way of managing application and infrastructure deployment so that the whole system is described declaratively in a Git repository. It’s an operational model that offers you the ability to manage the state of multiple Kubernetes clusters using the best practices of version control, immutable artifacts, and automation. Organizations have adopted GitOps […]

Introduction Today, AWS Proton announced service sync, a new feature that allows application developers to configure and deploy their Proton services using Git. With this feature, developers can sync their AWS Proton service with a configuration defined in a Git repository, allowing them to use Git features, like version control and pull requests, to configure, […]

Introduction Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon VPC Lattice a new feature of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) that gives you a consistent way to connect, secure, and monitor communication between your services. As part of the launch of Amazon VPC Lattice, we’re excited to introduce the AWS Gateway API controller, an […]

Introduction AWS customers building cloud-native applications or modernizing applications using microservices architecture can adopt Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to accelerate innovation and time to market while lowering their total cost of ownership. Many customers operate multiple Amazon EKS clusters to provide better tenant isolation and to meet organizational requirements. Often, there’s a need […]

Introduction We are thrilled to introduce Data on EKS (DoEKS), a new open-source project aimed at streamlining and accelerating the process of building, deploying, and scaling data workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). With DoEKS, customers get access to a comprehensive range of resources including Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates, performance benchmark reports, […]

Introduction .NET Developers commonly design Windows-based applications with Active Directory (AD) integration running on domain-joined servers to facilitate authentication and authorization between services and users. Since containers cannot be domain-joined, running these applications in a Windows-based containers required configuring group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA), domain-joined Kubernetes Windows nodes, webhooks and cluster roles to enable Windows […]

Note: etcd_db_total_size_in_bytes or apiserver_storage_db_total_size_in_bytes has been renamed to apiserver_storage_size_bytes since EKS v1.28. Please use the corresponding metric to monitor database size. Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes. Kubernetes clusters use etcd, a consistent and highly available key value store, as the backing […]

Introduction Recently, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) added support for local clusters on AWS Outposts racks. In a nutshell, this deployment option allows our customers to run the entire Kubernetes cluster (i.e., control plane and worker nodes) on AWS Outposts racks. The rationale behind this deployment option is often described as static stability. In […]

Introduction AWS Load Balancer Controller is a Kubernetes controller that integrates Application Load Balancers (ALB) and Network Load Balancers (NLB) with Kubernetes workloads. It allows you to configure and manage load balancers using Kubernetes Application Programming Interface (API). Based on our conversations with customers, we identified two AWS Load Balancer Controller features that need further […]
