De-mystifying cluster networking for Amazon EKS worker nodes
Running Kubernetes on AWS requires an understanding of both AWS networking configuration and Kubernetes networking requirements. When you use the default Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) AWS CloudFormation templates to deploy your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) and Amazon EC2 worker nodes, everything typically just works. But small issues in your configuration can result […]
Using EKS encryption provider support for defense-in-depth
Gyuho Lee, Rashmi Dwaraka, and Michael Hausenblas When we announced that we plan to natively support the AWS Encryption Provider in Amazon EKS, the feedback we got from you was pretty clear: can we have it yesterday? Now we’re launching EKS support for the encryption provider, a vital defense-in-depth security feature. That is, you can […]
Kubernetes Logging powered by AWS for Fluent Bit
September 8, 2021: Amazon Elasticsearch Service has been renamed to Amazon OpenSearch Service. See details. Centralized logging is an instrumental component of running and managing Kubernetes clusters at scale. Developers need access to logs for debugging and monitoring applications, operations teams need access for monitoring applications, and security needs access for monitoring. These teams have […]
Securing EKS Ingress With Contour And Let’s Encrypt The GitOps Way
This is a guest post by Stefan Prodan of Weaveworks. In Kubernetes terminology, Ingress exposes HTTP(S) routes from outside the cluster to services running within the cluster. An Ingress can be configured to provide Kubernetes services with externally-reachable URLs while performing load balancing and SSL/TLS termination. Kubernetes comes with an Ingress resource and there are several controllers that […]
Using ALB Ingress Controller with Amazon EKS on Fargate
In December 2019, we announced the ability to use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service to run Kubernetes pods on AWS Fargate. Fargate eliminates the need for you to create or manage EC2 instances for your Kubernetes applications. When your pods start, Fargate automatically allocates compute resources on-demand to run them. Fargate is great for running and […]
EKS VPC routable IP address conservation patterns in a hybrid network
Introduction Our customers are embracing containers and Kubernetes/EKS for the flexibility and the agility it affords their developers. As environments continue to scale, they want to find ways to more efficiently utilize their private RFC1918 IP address space. This post will review patterns to help conserve your RFC1918 IP address space with your EKS pods leveraging […]
Autoscaling EKS on Fargate with custom metrics
NOTICE: October 04, 2024 – This post no longer reflects the best guidance for configuring a service mesh with Amazon EKS and its examples no longer work as shown. Please refer to newer content on Amazon VPC Lattice. ——– This is a guest post by Stefan Prodan of Weaveworks. Autoscaling is an approach to automatically scale […]
Extending the EKS API: Managed Node Groups
By Raghav Tripathi, Michael Hausenblas, and Nathan Taber From our first conversations with customers, our vision has always been that Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) should provide the best managed Kubernetes experience in the cloud. When we launched EKS, our first step was to provide a managed Kubernetes control plane, but we never intended to stop […]
Cost optimization for Kubernetes on AWS
Since publication, we reduced the price for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) by 50% to $0.10 per hour for each Kubernetes cluster that you run. This post was contributed by AWS Container Hero, Casey Lee, Director of Engineering for Liatrio The combination of Amazon EKS for a managed Kubernetes control plane and Amazon EC2 for […]
Help us write a new chapter for Gitops, Kubernetes, and Open Source collaboration
Introduction The Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) team sees the ecosystem around automated software deployment as a technology frontier ripe with potential for groundbreaking innovation. Over the last twenty years, the way in which developers deploy and manage their applications has changed dramatically. Technology improvements in packaging, automation, and virtualization as well as shifts in […]
