At re:Invent 2019, we announced the ability to deploy Kubernetes pods on AWS Fargate via Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Since then we’ve seen customers rapidly adopt the Kubernetes API to deploy pods onto Fargate, the AWS serverless infrastructure for running containers. This allows them to get rid of a lot of the undifferentiated […]

Previous AWS Container Day events have included a number of discussions and deep dives on running Kubernetes at AWS – and now we are bringing this content right to your home! Join us for the first-ever virtual Container Day on August 17th, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (PDT). Check out the agenda and some of […]

Many AWS customers use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to operate multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters where workloads that belong to different teams or projects run in a shared cluster. Customers like that Kubernetes offers centralized management of workloads, enabling administrators to create, update, scale, and secure workloads using a single API. In this post we […]

AWS recently launched a new service, EC2 Image Builder, which automates and simplifies the creation, maintenance, and validation of Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). Many of our customers are using this service to generate their own customized, hardened images. In this post, we will demonstrate how you can automatically test your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon […]

Update 12/05/20: EKS on Fargate now supports capturing applications logs natively. Please see this blog post for details. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now allows you to run your applications on AWS Fargate. You can run Kubernetes pods without having to provision and manage EC2 instances. Because Fargate runs every pod in VM-isolated environment, […]

With the introduction of IAM roles for services accounts (IRSA), you can create an IAM role specific to your workload’s requirement in Kubernetes. This also enables the security principle of least privilege by creating fine grained roles at a pod level instead of node level. In this blog post, we explore a use case where […]

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes. Okta is an API service that allows developers to create, edit, and securely store user accounts and user account data and connect them with one or multiple applications. Okta helps you provide access to the AWS Management […]

This post was contributed by Yuling Zhou, Eduardo Lopez Biagi, and Paavan Mistry. Today, we introduced server-side encryption of ephemeral storage in AWS Fargate platform version 1.4. The ephemeral task storage is automatically encrypted with industry-standard AES-256 encryption algorithm using AWS Fargate-managed keys for the updated platform version. This feature requires no additional configuration from […]

Containers are a method of operating system virtualization that allow you to run an application and its dependencies in resource-isolated processes. Containers allow you to easily package an application’s code, configurations, and dependencies into easy-to-use building blocks that deliver environmental consistency, operational efficiency, developer productivity, and version control. Using Windows containers allows you to get […]
