Today, we are excited to announce our commitment to support Calico and Calico Enterprise for the Amazon EKS-Distro, a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by Amazon EKS. EKS-D enables you to create reliable and secure Kubernetes clusters using the same versions of Kubernetes and its dependencies deployed by Amazon EKS. We view EKS-D as further confirmation of the central role that Kubernetes plays in today’s IT infrastructure.

Today Amazon announced Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D), a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS Distro enables you to create reliable and secure Kubernetes clusters using the same versions of Kubernetes and its dependencies deployed by Amazon EKS. Each Amazon EKS Distro release follows the EKS process, verifying new Kubernetes versions for compatibility.

We are excited to announce that if you deploy our AWS Trivia Alexa Skill from Stackery we will send you $100 AWS credits and an Amazon Echo!

If you think it’s possible to accomplish great things without going through numerous trials and errors first – you’re wrong. We learn to become better and more efficient through experience, and gaining experience requires you to make multiple attempts, but it also requires you to fail to learn from your mistakes. You’ll achieve greatness only once you learn how to handle errors that stand in your way, and when you do, everything becomes crystal clear.

Leave it to Amazon Web Services to find a way to make their massive celebration of all things cloud entirely virtual, free, and even bigger. Even though we won’t be able to join you all in Las Vegas for Amazon’s celebration of all things cloud, PagerDuty is very excited to be a Gold sponsor of re:Invent again this year. Be sure to stop by our sponsor page for a product demo, the latest on our newest AWS integrations, grab your swag bag, or participate in one of our fun booth activities.

Serverless is a great way to reduce the cost of running applications. Lambda functions, by nature, make it very easy to use the exact amount of resources we need at any given point. In this post, we deep dive into Lambda costs, how they are calculated, and explore how to optimize them. Lambda costs are calculated from two parameters (all prices are for AWS N.Virginia, US-EAST-1).

It has been a while since I wrote about this topic. I didn’t finish this blog series for several reasons, and now, one year later, it is the right time to continue this story. In the first part of this blog series, I have explained how you can expose a Logic App in API Management. It is a straightforward and simple process. Microsoft did a great job on this user experience.

Needless to say, 2020 has been a year to remember. So it goes without saying that re:Invent 2020 will be unforgettable as well, but this time, in a good way. For starters, instead of hopping on a plane and spending four days in Las Vegas, we get three weeks of it from the comfort of our home offices. As usual, the event will be jam-packed with speakers, presentations, hands-on learning sessions. They’ll be helmed by experts in the cloud computing, DevOps, and the open source community.

In the past 2 years over 25 FSI enterprises have explored CloudHedge to automate modernization of legacy apps. Applications within FSI enterprises are two kinds, the back-office apps and the external consumer apps (end customers or partners/vendors). Most of these applications were built with legacy technologies and are difficult to quickly add/fix features or hot-fixes. Some of the applications even take 3 months before a fix can be released for the end-users.

This is part three of the “Well-Architected in Serverless” series where we decipher the AWS Well-Architected Framework (WAF) pillars and translate them into real-life actions. In this article, we will focus on the AWS WAF Reliability (REL) pillar. Read Part 1 and Part 2. We have a Well Architected webinar coming up!
