Introduction Enterprise customers have trained their IT staff on legacy programming languages, like COBOL, for decades. These legacy programs have stood the test of time and still run many mission-critical business applications which are typical for these legacy platforms. While various migration solutions like  AWS Blu Age and AWS Micro Focus Enterprise technology exist for […]

Originally, containers were a great fit for stateless applications. However, for many use cases there is a need for persistent storage, without which stateful workloads aren’t possible. Kubernetes first introduced support for stateful workloads with in-tree volume plugins, meaning that the plugin code was part of the core Kubernetes code and shipped with the Kubernetes […]

This post also had contributions from Jiwon Yeom, Solutions Architect, AWS. Introduction AWS customers use infrastructure as code (IaC) to create cloud resources in a repeatable and predictable manner. IaC is especially helpful in managing environments with identical stacks, which is a common occurrence in active-active multi-region systems. Instead of managing each regional deployment individually, […]

Update: Spring Boot has been updated to version 3, which also means that Amazon Corretto 17 is used as JDK for all versions.

Introduction jsPolicy is an open-source framework for managing validating or mutating admission control policies for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters using JavaScript (or TypeScript), which is similar to the way AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) manages AWS accounts and resource access. It’s also possible to write the entire jsPolicy in a separate file and […]

As more organizations required to run hardened virtual machines to increase security to meet the internal compliance adopt Kubernetes, there is a need for hardened Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that work with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). There are multiple options to choose from. One solution is to use Bottlerocket, a special-purpose OS from […]

Introduction Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a framework created by Microsoft in 2008 for building service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications. It provides a set of libraries for building web services, using different network protocols to send and receive data between service endpoints. With the introduction of .NET Core in 2016 and the emergence of microservices, our […]
