This article is a follow up to Native Kubernetes Monitoring, Part One. In this chapter we’ll finish the two remaining demos for the other built-in tools, Probes and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA).
AWS CodeDeploy is a deployment management service offered by AWS. You can use it to deploy updates of your applications to your EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and on-premises servers. This can be a powerful tool in your CI/CD pipeline. Today, I’m happy to announce a new action: Deploy CodeDeploy Application.
New technologies often require changes in security practices. What is remarkable about containers and Kubernetes, is that they also provide the potential for enhancing and improve existing security practices. In this post, I will share a model that we use at Nirmata to help customers understand security concerns and plan Kubernetes implementations that are secure.
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes, or Amazon EKS, is a hosted Kubernetes platform that is managed by AWS. Put another way, EKS is Kubernetes-as-a-service, with AWS hosting and managing the infrastructure needed to make your cluster highly available across multiple availability zones. EKS is distinct from Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), which is Amazon’s proprietary container orchestration service for running and managing Docker containers.
Working in C#, as with any language, you’ll soon find that that you need to do some debugging. With C#, thankfully, due to a plethora of debugging tools and techniques, troubleshooting is usually straightforward.
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at key metrics for tracking the performance and health of your EKS cluster. Recall that these EKS metrics fall into three general categories: Kubernetes cluster state metrics, resource metrics (at the node and container level), and AWS service metrics. In this post, we will go over methods for accessing these categories of metrics, broken down by where they are generated.
In this post, we’ll explore how Datadog’s integrations with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS will let you track the full range of EKS metrics, as well as logs and performance data from your cluster and applications. Datadog gives you comprehensive coverage of your dynamic infrastructure and applications with features like Autodiscovery to track services across containers; sophisticated graphing and alerting options; and full support for AWS services.
