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 […]

Legacy applications in the automotive industry tend to run on Windows. Customers want to scale these workloads on Kubernetes alongside their Linux workloads.
