AWS Lambda for the containers developer 👉 Interesting reading (as usual) from @mreferre https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/aws-lambda-for-the-containers-developer/ #AWS #Serverless

AWS Lambda for the containers developer | Amazon Web Services

Introduction When building an application on AWS, one of the common decision points customers encounter is building on AWS Lambda versus building on a containers product like Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). To make this decision, there are many factors to consider such as cost, scaling properties, […]

Configuring a timeout for Amazon ECS tasks

I know, I am boring. Some people relax doing Sudoku. I relax writing Step Functions state machines. Not that I am any good, I just enjoy doing it (I am that …

[ BLOG ] "Using AWS Application Composer to build a serviceful application"

https://it20.info/2023/02/using-aws-application-composer-to-build-a-serviceful-application/

This blog builds on a "solution" I have sketched which involves #EventBridge and #StepFunctions and show how you can use #ApplicationComposer to "stitch" it into deploy-able IaC. Nothing deep but if you are moving baby steps into Application Composer it may be worth a read.

Using AWS Application Composer to build a serviceful application (virtual part 2)

In (virtual) part 1 of this blog post (yes it has a different title) I have shown how to use a combination of AWS Step Functions and Amazon EventBridge to …

[ BLOG ] "Automating stable FQDNs for public Amazon ECS tasks"

https://it20.info/2023/02/automating-stable-fqdn-for-public-amazon-ecs-tasks/

In this blog I show how to "patch" the behavior of #ECS without writing (traditional) "glue code" to extend how the service works. It's just an example of an approach based on a real life need (i.e. how to expose stable FQDNs for public facing ECS tasks).

Automating stable FQDNs for public Amazon ECS tasks (virtual part 1)

In an effort to dive deeper into event driven architectures, I have lately been experimenting with AWS Step Functions as I have documented in this blog post …

My article "Serverless Messaging: Latency Compared" has been updated to include the improved EventBridge latencies!

Serverless Messaging: Latency Compared

In this Bite we will compare the latency introduced by common messaging services: SQS, SNS, Step Functions, EventBridge, Kinesis, and DynamoDB Streams.

I like how @mreferre describes the different scenarios for K8s on AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/kubernetes-as-a-platform-vs-kubernetes-as-an-api-2/

However, I still have a hard time finding good arguments for one of the describes scenarios compared to ECS/Fargate/Serverless orchestrated by IaC.

Change my mind, #awscommunity!

Kubernetes as a platform vs. Kubernetes as an API | Amazon Web Services

Introduction What is Kubernetes? I have been working on this technology since the beginning and after 8 years, I’m still having a problem defining what it is. Some people define Kubernetes as a container orchestrator but does that definition capture the essence of Kubernetes? I don’t think so. In this post, I’d like to explore […]

I built and wrote a thing: "#Kubernetes as a platform vs. #Kubernetes as an API".

It features a prototype of an #ECS ACK controller with a demo that shows how it would look like in real life.
