This post discusses the benefits of and how to build an AWS CI/CD pipeline in AWS CodePipeline for multi-region deployment. The CI/CD pipeline triggers on application code changes pushed to your AWS CodeCommit repository. This automatically feeds into AWS CodeBuild for static and security analysis of the CloudFormation template. Another CodeBuild instance builds the application to generate an AMI image as output. AWS Lambda then copies the AMI image to other Regions. Finally, AWS CloudFormation cross-region actions are triggered and provision the instance into target Regions based on AMI image. The solution is based on using a single pipeline with cross-region actions, which helps inRead More →

Automating your software release process is an important step in adopting DevOps best practices. AWS CodePipeline is a fully managed continuous delivery service that helps you automate your release pipelines for fast and reliable application and infrastructure updates. CodePipeline was modeled after the way that the retail website Amazon.com automated software releases, and many early decisions for CodePipeline were based on the lessons learned from operating a web application at that scale. However, while most cross-cutting best practices apply to most releases, there are also business specific requirements that are driven by domain or regulatory requirements. CodePipeline attempts to strike a balance between enforcing bestRead More →

Editor’s note: This is a follow up to a recent post on how to use Cloud Logging with containerized applications running in Google Kubernetes Engine. In this post, we’ll focus on how DevOps teams can use Cloud Monitoring and Logging to find issues quickly.  Running containerized apps on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is a way for a DevOps team to focus on developing apps, rather than on the operational tasks required to run a secure, scalable and highly available Kubernetes cluster. Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring are two of several services integrated into GKE that provide DevOps teams with better observability into applications and systems,Read More →

As per International Data Corporation (IDC), worldwide spending on digital transformation will reach $2.3 trillion in 2023. As organizations adopt digital transformation, training becomes an important aspect of this journey. Whether these are internal trainings to upskill existing workforce or a packaged content for commercial use, these trainings need to be efficient and cost effective. With the advent of education technology, it is a common practice to deliver trainings via digital platforms. This makes it accessible for larger population and is cost effective, but it is important that the trainings are interactive and effective. According to  a recent article published by Forbes, immersive education andRead More →

Authors: Nuno do Carmo Docker Captain and WSL Corsair; Ihor Dvoretskyi, Developer Advocate, Cloud Native Computing Foundation Introduction New to Windows 10 and WSL2, or new to Docker and Kubernetes? Welcome to this blog post where we will install from scratch Kubernetes in Docker KinD and Minikube. Why Kubernetes on Windows? For the last few years, Kubernetes became a de-facto standard platform for running containerized services and applications in distributed environments. While a wide variety of distributions and installers exist to deploy Kubernetes in the cloud environments (public, private or hybrid), or within the bare metal environments, there is still a need to deploy andRead More →

We recently shared how organizations are modernizing their applications with Anthos, driving business agility and efficiency in exciting new ways. But while some of you want to run Anthos on your existing virtualized infrastructure, others want to eliminate the dependency on a hypervisor layer, to modernize your applications while reducing costs. A new option to run Anthos on bare metal later this year will let you do just that.  Anthos on bare metal is a deployment option to run Anthos on physical servers, deployed on an operating system provided by you, without a hypervisor layer. Anthos on bare metal will ship with built-in networking, lifecycleRead More →

We have published a new whitepaper, Machine Learning Lens, to help you design your machine learning (ML) workloads following cloud best practices. This whitepaper gives you an overview of the iterative phases of ML and introduces you to the ML and artificial intelligence (AI) services available on AWS using scenarios and reference architectures. How often are you asking yourself “Am I doing this right?” when building and running applications in the cloud? You are not alone. To help you answer this question, we released the AWS Well-Architected Framework in 2015. The Framework is a formal approach for comparing your workload against AWS best practices and gettingRead More →

There are multiple ways to deploy API endpoints, such as this example, in which you could use an application running on Amazon EC2 to demonstrate how to integrate Amazon ElastiCache with Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB capability). While the approach in this example helps achieve great performance, and reliability through the elasticity and the ability to scale up or down the number of EC2 instances in order to accommodate the load on the application, there is still however some operational overhead you still have to manage the EC2 instances yourself. One way of addressing the operational overhead issue and related costs could be to transform theRead More →

Continuous integration is a DevOps software development practice in which developers regularly merge their code changes into a central repository, then run automated builds and tests. Continuous integration (CI) most often refers to the build or integration stage of the software release process and entails both an automation component (such as a CI or build service) and a cultural component (such as learning to integrate frequently). This example configures AWS CodeBuild to provide CI capabilities in Spinnaker. Overview of Concepts AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. BecauseRead More →
