By Yael Grossman Sr Compute Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS, Roei Jacobovich Software Engineer at Sentra Introduction In this post, we’ll illustrate how Sentra utilizes Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), AWS Fargate , EC2 Spot, Karpenter, and an open-source version of Dagster, a cloud-native orchestrator, to run efficient and scalable data processing workloads on […]

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 […]

Introduction To help customers run their Windows applications in a more streamlined manner, we launched the support for Amazon EKS Managed Node Group (MNG) support for Windows containers on December 15, 2022. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) MNGs automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of nodes (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud [Amazon EC2] instances) for […]

Introduction In May 2021 we introduced AWS App Runner, the simplest way to build and run your containerized web application in AWS. AWS App Runner gives you a fully managed container-native service. There are no orchestrators to configure, build pipelines to set up, load balancers to optimize, or Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates to rotate. […]

Introduction The Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks are best practices for the secure configuration of a target system. They define various Benchmarks for Kubernetes control plane and the data plane. For Amazon EKS clusters, it is strongly recommended to follow the CIS Amazon EKS Benchmark. If the data plane of an Amazon EKS cluster uses Amazon Linux […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) customers who use Cluster auto scaling (CAS) have expressed that they would like to scale-in more quickly so that they can avoid paying extra charges for compute resources during scale-in events. To make scaling-in more responsive, today we are pleased to introduce an enhancement to increase the scale-in step […]

This post was written in collaboration with Neel Patel, Drug Discovery Scientist, Nvidia. Drug discovery is the process through which potential new medicines are identified. It involves a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacology, as well as computer science. AstraZeneca and NVIDIA collaborated on developing MegaMolBART so the computational drug discovery process […]

This post was co-written by Lukonde Mwila, Principal Technical Evangelist at SUSE, an AWS Container Hero, and a HashiCorp Ambassador. Introduction Cloud-native technologies are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and Kubernetes is at the forefront of this movement. Today, Kubernetes is seeing widespread adoption across organizations in a variety of different industries. When implemented properly, Kubernetes can […]

Years before Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) was released, our customers told us they wanted a service that would simplify Kubernetes management. Many of them were running self-managed clusters on Amazon Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2) and were having challenges upgrading, scaling, and maintaining the Kubernetes control plane. When EKS launched in 2018, it aimed to […]

AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) is an open-source project that allows you to define and create AWS resources directly from within OpenShift. Using ACK, you can take advantage of AWS-managed services to complement the application workloads running in OpenShift without needing to define resources outside of the cluster or run services that provide supporting capabilities like […]
