Important cloud, infrastructure, DevOps, container and security updates — collected from trusted technical sources.
Automatically refreshed from RSS feedsToday, AWS Health introduces the version catalog which provides a centralized source of lifecycle information for software versions across AWS services. The version catalog helps customers move from reactive to proactive management of version upgrades and end-of-support risk. It is available in the AWS Health Dashboard, and customers on Business Support Plus, Enterprise Support, or Unified Operations can use the AWS Health API to integrate lifecycle data into their operational workflows. Customers running applications on AWS need to stay current with software versions to maintain a strong security and operational posture. AWS Health already …
2 days agoOn the 20th Anniversary, we recognize how AWS has continued to push the boundaries of what cloud computing can deliver, building custom silicon for general-purpose and AI workloads and expanding EC2 into new form factors and deployment models that our customers in 2006 could not have imagined.

The Kubernetes SIG Network community is thrilled to share the release of Gateway API v1.6.0, which was released on June 30th of this year! Gateway API has become the standard for modern, role-oriented, and expressive service networking in Kubernetes. In previous releases, Gateway API established a production-grade foundation for HTTP and TLS layer 7 traffic. With version 1.6.0, Gateway API takes a major step forward by expanding standard layer 4 protocol routing and introducing cleaner API boundaries for experimental innovation. Here is a quick summary of what's new in Gateway API v1.6.0: TCPRoute and UDPRoute Graduate to Standard: Raw L4 TC…
As we get closer to the release date for Kubernetes v1.37, the project develops and matures, features may be deprecated, removed, or replaced with better ones for the project's overall health.

Kubernetes ships with built-in awareness of CPU and memory, but most real-world scaling decisions depend on signals that live entirely outside that narrow window: how many messages are waiting in a queue, how long the last batch job took, how many active WebSocket connections a pod is holding. When the built-in metrics are not enough, a metrics exporter bridges that gap. This post walks through writing one from scratch, packaging it as a container, and wiring it into a cluster so that Prometheus — and ultimately the HorizontalPodAutoscaler — can consume it. What a metrics exporter actually doesAn exporter is a small HTTP server with a single…
On July 13, 2006, we launched Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) as one of the first three services available to customers, alongside Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3. We had learned firsthand that distributed systems need a reliable way to pass messages between components without creating tight dependencies. If one service called another directly and […]

Learn how Kubernetes version rollbacks for Amazon EKS let you reverse cluster upgrades within seven days. This new feature provides a safety net for upgrade failures—no cluster rebuilds required—turning Kubernetes version upgrades into a reversible, low-risk operation.
Amazon EC2 C9g and C9gd instances, powered by AWS Graviton5, are now generally available. They deliver up to 25% better compute performance than Graviton4-based instances, 5x larger cache, fastest memory of any processor instances in the cloud, and local NVMe storage options (C9gd).
