AWS Announces Four New Container Capabilities
Summary
Amazon EKS Anywhere works on any infrastructure (bare metal, VMware vSphere, or cloud virtual machines) and provides customers with consistent Kubernetes management tooling optimized to simplify cluster installation with default configurations for OS, container registry, logging, monitoring, networking, and storage. As customers have naturally gravitated to container and serverless application development, they’ve also found that trying to coordinate all of the changes across their infrastructure provisioning, code deployments, and monitoring tools can be a challenge. “Rig, our deployment platform, helps us manage a microservice ecosystem of over 600 apps including HTTP APIs & User Interfaces, queue readers, one-off jobs, and more,” said Clément Huyghebaert, Director of Engineering, BuzzFeed. We are looking forward to using AWS Proton, which will free up our developers to move fast while we keep all infrastructure updated to the latest standards.” Canonical is the publisher of Ubuntu, the OS for most public cloud workloads as well as IoT, smart devices, self-driving cars, and advanced robots. AWS offers over 175 fully featured services for compute, storage, databases, networking, analytics, robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, security, hybrid, virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR), media, and application development, deployment, and management from 77 Availability Zones (AZs) within 24 geographic regions, with announced plans for 15 more Availability Zones and five more AWS Regions in India, Indonesia, Japan, Spain, and Switzerland.
