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 […]

Introduction: Container technologies are becoming increasingly popular for customers developing new applications and migrating workloads to the cloud. One of the most common approaches to managing containers at scale is to utilize an orchestration technology such as AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). However, building a repeatable and reliable Kubernetes cluster in a multi-account (or multi-region) […]
