How to build an EKS kubernetes cluster with Ubuntu 20.04 on FIPS mode

Many clients have specific requirements for running their EKS Kubernetes clusters with Ubuntu: OS alignment across platforms, sysadmin knowledge or specific kernel features such Real Time Kernel or FIPS mode. If your workloads need to run on FIPS mode for compliance, you will not only need to create your containers on FIPS mode (in other words, with FIPS certified crypto libraries) but also, since containers share kernel with host/worker nodes, you need to have also the worker node's kernel running on FIPS mode.

Kubernetes alternatives to Spring Java framework

Spring Cloud and Kubernetes both complement each other to build a cloud native platform and run microservices on the Kubernetes containers. Kubernetes provides many features which are similar to Spring Cloud and Spring Config Server features. Spring framework has been around for many years. Even today, many organizations prefer to go with Spring libraries because it provides many features. It's a great deal when developers have total control over cloud configuration along with business logic source code.
