Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) customers can now inject task-level container failures using AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) experiments. With this new AWS FIS fault action you can stop running tasks in your container-based applications, whether they are deployed on AWS Fargate or Amazon EC2 infrastructure, so that you can uncover the hidden bugs, monitoring blind spots, and performance bottlenecks that are difficult to find in distributed systems. AWS FIS experiments can help you measure, validate, and improve the resilience of your applications in use cases such as chaos engineering, gameday testing, and continuous delivery. Previously, AWS FIS offered ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. With this launch, you can use Helm chart to collect Amazon EKS on EC2 metrics and logs to send to Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights. The Helm chart deploys the ADOT Collector and Fluent Bit as DaemonSets. ADOT collects infrastructure metrics such as CPU, memory, disk, and network status from Amazon EKS clusters. You can use the pre-built dashboards in Amazon CloudWatch for analysis and triaging. Helm is an application package manager running atop Kubernetes. It allows describing the application structure through convenient Helm charts and managing it with simple commands. Helm charts are Kubernetes YAML manifests bundled in a ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. Today, Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights adds metric collection support for your applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with AWS Fargate using AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT). ADOT is a secure, AWS-supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry project. Customers can now easily collect EKS Fargate metrics, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network, and analyze them along with other container metrics in Amazon CloudWatch. This helps customers observe the performance and resource utilization of their applications directly in the CloudWatch Container Insights console. Customers can run the ADOT collector as a sidecar alongside their application containers to begin exporting these metrics ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Joshua Otwell; If you want to set up a MySQL database to store data for websites, blogs, or applications, you can use a Docker container. It’s relatively simple to do. And like shuffling a deck of cards, reversing a string in Python, or writing a recursive function, it’s a suitable exercise for beginners just starting out with MySQL and backend web development. Let’s take a look at exactly what a Docker container is, and how you can use it to set up MySQL. What Is a Docker Container? A Docker container is a self-contained software development ... Read More

Lightsail CDN is backed by Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Web Services’ CDN platform that uses a global network of servers in over 300 locations across 47 countries to store and deliver your content throughout the world. So, with Lightsail CDN, you can not only improve the scalability ... Read More

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
