AWS Container Blogs
- Amazon EKS add-ons preserve customer edits
- Prevents changes to add-on configuration issued through the Kubernetes API from being overwritten
- Preserves changes during lifecycle operations
- Can also use it to reset add-on to a known good configuration
- Reducing Fargate startup times with zstd compressed container images
- New compression format (zdtd) can achieve higher compression ratios and higher decompression speeds than the gzip compression algorithm
- Reduced start times for Fargate pods by 27%
- Canary testing with AWS App Mesh and Tekton
- A Canary deployment is a deployment strategy that releases a new software version in production by slowly rolling out the change to a small subset of users
- In this blog post the authors use AWS App Mesh to configure traffic flows between services
- They also use separate Tekton pipelines, based on different personas, to separate the duties of the developement and operations teams thereby enabling team productivity and velocity
