In 2019, support for managed node groups was added, with EKS provisioning and managing the underlying EC2 Instances (worker […]

Since its launch at re:Invent 2017, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) has rapidly evolved to meet the needs of production Kubernetes users. Customers such as Intel, Snap, Intuit, GoDaddy, and Autodesk trust Amazon EKS to run their most sensitive and mission critical applications because of its security, reliability, and scalability. One thing missing from Amazon […]

From the start, our goal with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) has been to build a fully managed service that makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to be an expert in managing Kubernetes clusters. When Amazon EKS first launched, that meant a fully managed Kubernetes control plane. In […]

Today, we announced the Amazon ECS deployment circuit breaker for EC2 and Fargate compute types. With this feature, Amazon ECS customers can now automatically roll back unhealthy service deployments without the need for manual intervention. This empowers customers to quickly discover failed deployments, while not having to worry about resources being consumed for failing tasks, […]

re:Invent is a free, 3-week virtual conference that will be held November 30 – December 18, 2020. Starting this week, registered attendees can access scheduled and on-demand sessions on topics across AWS Services. In this post, we’ll cover the Containers track, featuring sessions on Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Fargate, Amazon ECR, and AWS App […]

Introduction Many enterprises want to modernize their existing applications and containerize them to minimize disruptions that could stem from clunky, outdated and unscalable legacy systems. These enterprises need tools to simplify the containerization process of existing Java and .NET applications and increase operational efficiency, harmonize CI/CD processes, and increase agility. AWS App2Container (A2C) enables companies […]

Since Amazon ECS became generally available in 2015, one recurring theme we have heard from developers is that they want even easier ways to launch their applications as containers in the cloud. We started out offering a simple way to launch and monitor containers across a fleet of EC2 instances without needing to operate or […]

NOTICE: October 04, 2024 – This post no longer reflects the best guidance for configuring a service mesh with Amazon ECS and its examples no longer work as shown. Please refer to newer content on Amazon ECS Service Connect. ——– Customers often have applications owned by different teams in different Amazon ECS clusters. Alternatively, they […]

Logs are crucial when understanding any system’s behavior and performance. For postmortem analysis of software, along with traces and metrics, logs can be the closest thing to having a time machine. A dilemma many developers have traditionally faced is: what to log and what not to? This predicament has led to too many logs or […]

Note: Docker Compose’s integration with Amazon ECS has been deprecated and is retiring in November 2023   There are many reasons why containers have become popular since Docker democratized access to the core Linux primitives that make a “docker run” possible. One reason is that containers are not tied to a specific infrastructure or stack, […]
