Introduction We are pleased to announce the launch of the Neuron Helm Chart, which streamlines the deployment of AWS Neuron components on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). With this new Helm Chart, you can now seamlessly install the necessary Kubernetes artifacts needed to run training and inference workloads on AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia instances. Until now, […]

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue AWS App Mesh, effective September 30th, 2026. Until this date, existing AWS App Mesh customers will be able to use the service as normal, including creating new resources and onboarding new accounts via the AWS CLI and AWS CloudFormation. Additionally, AWS will continue to provide […]

Introduction In August 2022, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) announced the availability of an Amazon EKS-optimized bundle of Kubecost for cluster cost visibility. The bundle is available to Amazon EKS users free of charge and enables users to gain deeper cost insights into Kubernetes resources, such as namespace, cluster, pod, and organizational concepts (for […]

Solution overview When you create your applications and want to expose internal API endpoints, you can build your microservices using different compute options such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Then, you can deploy your applications across multiple AWS accounts and multiple Amazon Virtual Private Clouds […]

This post discusses Bottlerocket, a Linux-based open source operating system (OS) that is purpose-built for running containers. We walk through fleet management at scale and how users can benefit from it. We also share how the product roadmap of Bottlerocket is driven based on community and user feedback. The challenges of fleet management with General-Purpose […]

Cloud native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments. Among Cloud Native patterns, Containers, and Kubernetes are mainstream across multiple businesses. According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation Annual Survey of 2022, 44% of respondents are already using containers for nearly all applications and business segments, and another 35% say containers are […]

Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard for container orchestration, providing powerful capabilities for deploying and managing stateless workloads. However, users running stateful applications on Kubernetes face unique challenges, especially in VMware environments. A key issue is that the virtual disks used by stateful apps can’t be attached to pods as easily as ephemeral storage. The […]

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a revolutionary technology that promises to bring near-native performance to web applications. However, its potential extends far beyond the browser, enabling developers to run Wasm workloads in various environments, such as cloud-native platforms like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). In this post, you can explore how AWS empowers users to harness […]

Introduction In November 2021, AWS announced the launch of v0.5 of Karpenter, “a new open source Kubernetes cluster auto scaling project.” Originally conceived as a flexible, dynamic, and high-performance alternative to the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler, in the nearly three years since then Karpenter has evolved substantially into a fully featured, Kubernetes native node lifecycle manager.
