The way that Kubernetes evolves and introduces new features is via its APIs. These APIs are versioned and features go through three phases: alpha, beta, and general availability (also known as stable). For users of Kubernetes this usually takes the form of an apiVersion version you are putting on the top of your YAML spec […]

This post was contributed by Jeffrey Emberger, Technical Lead, The Vanguard Group and John Formento, Solutions Architect, AWS. Cloud applications are changing the speed at which companies can deliver new capabilities for their customers. With increased speed comes the need to more quickly, reliably, and inexpensively observe cloud application health. Observability is no longer an […]

In November 2020, AWS released the Amazon EC2 P4d instances. The Amazon EC2 P4d instances deliver the highest performance for machine learning (ML) training and high performance computing (HPC) applications in the cloud. This instance comes with the following characteristics: Eight NVIDIA A100 Tensor core GPUs 96 vCPUs 1 TB of RAM 400 Gbps Elastic […]

Customers have been able to deploy application workloads within Red Hat OpenShift on AWS for several years. AWS and Red Hat have continued to respond to customer feedback and reduce effort and help customers meet the agility requirements they desire. Modernization does not stop at the evolution of applications, but touches on every aspect of […]

In this blog post, I’ll show you how to set up end-to-end encryption on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service(Amazon EKS). End-to end encryption in this case refers to traffic that originates from your client and terminates at an NGINX server running inside a sample app. I work with regulated customers who need to satisfy regulatory requirements […]

As companies move more of their workloads to Kubernetes, they are increasingly deploying applications that need a way to share or persist data or state outside the container. Kubernetes addresses this need by exposing block and file storage systems to containerized workloads via the Container Storage Interface (CSI). Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) currently […]

In digital advertising, the ad click-through rate (CTR) model predicts the probability of a click given the ads and context x (for example, shopping query, time of the day, device). The output of a CTR model can be seen as a conditional probability p(y = click|x). A precise estimation of this probability influences our ability […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) gives customers the flexibility to scale their containerized deployments in a variety of different ways. Tasks can be scaled-out to react to an influx of requests or they can be scaled-in to reduce cost. ECS also supports different deployment options, including rolling deployments, blue/green deployments, and canary-style deployments. […]

Since its launch in 2015, the Amazon ECS-optimized Amazon Linux AMI has helped a number of customers build containerized Linux-based applications on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). The AMI has enabled customers to get their containerized applications up and running by bundling the Amazon ECS Container Agent, Docker daemon, and Docker runtime dependencies with the […]

Since AWS Fargate launched in 2017 many developers have adopted the serverless compute model for containers. Instead of managing EC2 instances to run their containers, these developers are able to think of scaling in terms of container size and container count. Over time AWS Fargate has gained more and more features that make it capable […]
