Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now supports Amazon ECS Exec and Amazon Linux 2 for workloads running on-premises with Amazon ECS Anywhere. ECS Exec makes it easier for customers to troubleshoot errors, collect diagnostic information, interact with processes in containers during development, and get “break-glass” access to containers to debug critical issues encountered in production. With Amazon Linux 2, customers can now easily use the same AWS-secured operating system on-premises and in the cloud for development and testing. AWS customers running containerized applications on-premises often need to run commands on a subset of containers. With Amazon ECS ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Data scientists and data analysts may need to use libraries in their code that are not available in the public distribution of Amazon EMR on EKS Spark runtime. Customers use custom images functionality to create Spark driver and executor images that contain their application dependencies. Until now, customers who used Amazon EMR on EKS’ managed endpoints to run interactive workloads were unable to use custom images. With this release, you can now build a custom image with your application dependencies and use the image in your interactive jobs run using managed endpoints ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon EMR on EKS supports Custom Images - a functionality that helps customers customize the Docker container image used for running Apache Spark applications on Amazon EMR on EKS. Now, you can now use the Custom Images feature to customize container images for AWS Graviton-based instances. Customers often have applications with different compute architecture requirements. For example, customers may want to run machine learning workloads on AWS Graviton ARM-based instances that offer compelling price-performance benefits, while running daily data transformation jobs on non-Graviton-based instances. Previously, Amazon EMR on EKS users could only customize container images of non-Graviton-based ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon EMR on EKS supports Custom Images - a functionality that helps customers customize the Docker container image used for running Apache Spark applications on EMR on EKS. Today, EMR on EKS open-sourced a Custom Image Validation Tool that allows customers to run an automated suite of tests to validate their customized docker container image. Using Custom Images, data engineers and data scientists can install and configure packages specific to their workload that are not available in the default distribution of EMR’s Spark runtimes into a single immutable container. With custom image support, you can create a self-contained docker image ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Eric Johnson. This post is written by Joseph Keating, AWS Modernization Architect, and Virginia Chu, Sr. DevSecOps Architect. Container image support for AWS Lambda enables developers to package function code and dependencies using familiar patterns and tools. With this pattern, developers use standard tools like Docker to package their functions as container images and deploy them to Lambda. In a typical deployment process for image-based Lambda functions, the container and Lambda function are created or updated in the same process. However, some use cases require developers to create the image first, and then update one ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Today, AWS announced that customers can purchase Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and Container products from AWS Marketplace with one, two, or three-year contracts on supported products.  With this launch, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) can set upfront payment terms for any custom dimension on their product in AWS Marketplace. Customers have the option to purchase these products immediately from AWS Marketplace using monthly, annual and multi-year contracts. Customers can also upgrade their contract, buy additional licenses, or accept a privately negotiated price on any of the AMI and Container products that supports contract pricing model. Customers can distribute ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. You can now easily setup workload specific monitoring and view the health of these workloads via Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights problems directly from the Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights console, making it easier to dive deep into issues, troubleshoot problems and reduce mean time to resolution. Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights enables customers to easily collect container metrics and analyze them along with other metrics in Amazon CloudWatch. Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights provides simple setup of observability for your enterprise applications and underlying AWS Resources. Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights provides automated dashboards that show potential problems with monitored applications, ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Although rare, problems can arise with the host infrastructure or Docker runtime which can prevent new containers from being started and even affect containers that are already running. With today’s release, Amazon ECS automatically monitors the container runtime for responsiveness on customers’ behalf. Customers can use the ECS Describe-Instances API with the include Health Status option to view the health information for their Amazon ECS Tasks ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. AWS Lambda now allows you to create or update your functions with container images stored in an Amazon ECR repository in a different AWS account than that of your AWS Lambda function. Previously, you could only access container images stored in an Amazon ECR repository in the same AWS account as your AWS Lambda functions. If you used a centralized account for your Amazon ECR repositories, you needed to copy your container images into an Amazon ECR repository in the same account as your Lambda function. You can now simplify this workflow by accessing the container image stored ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: James Beswick. This post is written by Mithun Mallick, Senior Specialist Solutions Architect, App Integration. Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a serverless publish subscribe messaging service. It supports a push-based subscriptions model where subscribers must register an endpoint to receive messages. Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is one such endpoint, which is used by applications to receive messages published on an SNS topic. With containerized applications, the container instances poll the queue and receive the messages. However, containerized applications can scale out for a variety of reasons. The creation of an SQS queue for each ... Read More
