Exposing Kubernetes Applications, Part 1: Service and Ingress Resources
Introduction The Exposing Kubernetes Applications series focuses on ways to expose applications running in a Kubernetes cluster for external access. In this Part 1 of the series, we explore Service and Ingress resource types that define two ways to control the inbound traffic in a Kubernetes cluster. We discuss the handling of these resource types […]
Implementing Pod Security Standards in Amazon EKS
Introduction Securely adopting Kubernetes includes preventing unwanted changes to clusters. Unwanted changes can disrupt cluster operations and even compromise cluster integrity. Introducing pods that lack correct security configurations is an example of an unwanted cluster change. To control pod security, Kubernetes provided Pod Security Policy (PSP) resources. PSPs specify a set of security settings that […]
Secure Bottlerocket deployments on Amazon EKS with KubeArmor
Introduction Bottlerocket is a security focused operating system (OS) image that provides out-of-the-box security options to protect host or worker nodes. While Bottlerocket is useful, the security of the pods and the containers is still the responsibility of the application developer or provider. KubeArmor, a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) sandbox project, is a runtime […]

Policy management in Amazon EKS using jsPolicy
Introduction jsPolicy is an open-source framework for managing validating or mutating admission control policies for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters using JavaScript (or TypeScript), which is similar to the way AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) manages AWS accounts and resource access. It’s also possible to write the entire jsPolicy in a separate file and […]
Introducing bare metal deployments for Amazon EKS Anywhere
Introduction At one time, all servers were bare metal servers. We have come a long way with virtualization, cloud computing, and more recently with containers and serverless technologies. Despite these innovations, bare metal servers remain popular on premises. Customers run applications on bare metal infrastructure for performance benefits, to gain direct access to underlying hardware […]
