The Prometheus Operator allows cluster administrators to manage Prometheus clusters running in Kubernetes. It makes it easy to deploy and manage Prometheus via native Kubernetes components. In this blog post, I will demonstrate how you can deploy Prometheus via the Prometheus Operator, and how you can easily migrate your monitoring workloads to take advantage of […]

Today we are happy to announce the all-new AWS CDK Observability Accelerator – a set of opinionated modules to help you set up observability for your AWS environments with AWS Native services and AWS-managed observability services such as Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana, AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) and Amazon CloudWatch. AWS […]

Customers who run containerized workloads on Kubernetes clusters on their hardware use Amazon EKS Anywhere (Amazon EKS-A). Customers look for prescriptive guidance for the observability of their modern applications running on EKS-A. Using AWS-managed open-source services such as AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT), Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, and Amazon Managed Grafana helps customers to offload […]

In this blog, we will look into how enterprises can approach migrating on-prem Spring Cloud microservices to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). With managed service offerings from AWS, developers can eliminate the need to run and manage cross-cutting services like Service Registry, Config Server and API Gateway. By using AWS services, developers can focus on […]

Introduction Kubernetes APIs are robust and its control loop mechanism allows us to control the state of resources that are even outside of Kubernetes environments. Customers have shifted their focus towards workload gravity and rely on Kubernetes-native controllers to deploy and manage the lifecycle of external resources such as Cloud resources. We have seen customers […]

Building and managing resilient, micro-service based Containerized applications in a distributed environment is hard; maintaining and operating them is even harder. Even though containerized applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) take advantage of the performance, scale, reliability, and availability of AWS infrastructure which, we need to understand that failures will occur and […]

This blog post was co-written by Linh Lam, Solution Architect, Kubecost Customers can track their Kubernetes control plane and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) costs using AWS Cost and Usage Reports. However, they often need deeper insights to accurately track Kubernetes costs across namespaces, clusters, pods, and more. We recently announced that AWS and […]

In May 2022, we announced Amazon EKS Observability Accelerator, a tool for configuring and deploying  a purpose built observability solution on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters for specific workloads using Terraform modules. We launched this tool  demonstrating four use-cases and customers have been using the tool rapidly to achieve observability. Customers can use […]

Some of the details in this blog post are now outdated.  For the latest information on the AWS Observability Accelerator please see Announcing AWS Observability Accelerator to configure comprehensive observability for Amazon EKS.  Also explore the GitHub repository where you can find more details on how to get started. Observability is critical for any application […]

Container Orchestration platforms, such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), have simplified the process of building, securing, operating, and maintaining container-based applications. Therefore, they have helped organizations focus on building applications. Customers have started adopting event-driven deployment, allowing Kubernetes deployments to scale automatically in response to metrics from various sources dynamically. By implementing event-driven […]
