This post has been updated due a recent launch. Designed for simplicity from the start, Amazon ECS delivers an AWS-opinionated solution for running containers at scale. Previously, customers had to implement a lengthy workaround (detailed in the original blog post below) in order to use an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server as persistent storage […]

Today, many customers are adopting microservices. This approach breaks down software from a a single monolithic component into many independent pieces of software that address a specific business function and communicate over well-defined API’s. This enables independent teams to work on multiple components simultaneously and helps customers shorten the software development lifecycle, enable rapid innovation, […]

One of the most common requests we hear from customers is, “help me decide which container service to use.” We recommend that most teams begin by selecting a container solution with the attributes most aligned to their application requirements or operational preferences. This post covers some of the critical decisions involved in choosing between AWS […]

In this post, we will demonstrate how customers can leverage different AWS services in conjunction with AWS App Mesh to implement a canary deployment strategy for applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). As stated in the post “Getting started with App Mesh and EKS”, many customers are currently implementing microservices in a […]

Many container customers building applications use common software packages (e.g. operating systems, databases, and application components) that are publicly distributed as container images on Docker Hub. Docker, Inc. has announced that the Hub service will begin limiting the rate at which images are pulled under their anonymous and free plans. These limits will progressively take […]

The AWS Kubernetes team is back for the next installment of AWS Container Day: Kubernetes Edition, a full day of sessions on Amazon EKS and Kubernetes at AWS. In this fully live and virtual Twitch event, the AWS Kubernetes team, hosted by Containers from the Couch, will be covering new launches, demoing products and features, […]

Using containers brings flexibility, consistency, and portability in a DevOps culture. One of the essential parts of DevOps is creating Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines that deliver containerized application code faster and more reliably to production systems. Enabling canary or blue-green deployments in CI/CD pipelines provides more robust testing of the new application versions […]

Per Microsoft documentation: Windows-based networks commonly use Active Directory (AD) to facilitate authentication and authorization between users, computers, and other network resources. Enterprise application developers often design their apps to be AD-integrated and run on domain-joined servers to take advantage of Integrated Windows Authentication, which makes it easy for users and other services to automatically […]

The AWS ALB ingress controller allows you to easily provision an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) from a Kubernetes ingress resource. Kubernetes users have been using it in production for years and it’s a great way to expose your Kubernetes services in AWS. We are pleased to announce that the ALB ingress controller is now […]
