EKS has recently introduced default encryption for all Kubernetes API data, ensuring security without exceptions. Even if you haven't chosen a Customer Master Key (CMK), EKS automatically encrypts your data using a KMS key managed by the platform. This feature is designed for robust defense-in-depth, offering high availability and top-notch performance at no additional expense. #eks #kms #aws #kubernetes #k8s #devops #sre #platformengineer #cmk

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform have faced criticism for storing sensitive information in state files, posing a security risk. Terraform has introduced a notable enhancement to address this concern: the introduction of "write-only" attributes. With "write-only" attributes, sensitive values are utilized during runtime but are not persisted in the Terraform state, offering a solution for safeguarding data like database passwords. This feature, an internal mechanism in Terraform, requires integration by Terraform providers, with AWS being one such provider that has implemented it in certain scenarios. The "write-only" attribute complements the existing "ephemeral" type introduced in Terraform 1.10, offering enhanced security measures. BharathKumar D exemplifies the impact of the new "write-only" attribute support in Terraform through a demonstration illustrating the handling of passwords before and after its implementation. For further insights, BharathKumar D's detailed example can be found here: #terraform #tf #aws #rds #secrets #devops #cloud #sre #platformengineer #iac

Bottlerocket, the Linux-based OS designed for containers, now backs NVIDIA's Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) feature. This empowers users to divide NVIDIA GPUs into various GPU instances on Kubernetes nodes. Such functionality enables administrators to optimize GPU resource usage by concurrently running multiple workloads on a single GPU, ensuring distinct hardware-level isolation between each workload. #aws #k8s #kubernetes #eks #gpu #bottlerocket #devops #sre #platformengineer

Amazon CloudFront now supports gRPC delivery! Amazon CloudFront now supports delivery for gRPC applications. gRPC is a modern, open-source remote procedure call (RPC) framework that allows bidirectional communication between a client and a server over HTTP/2 connections. Applications built with gRPC benefit from improved latency using efficient bidirectional streaming and a binary message format, called Protocol Buffers, which are smaller than traditional payloads, like JSON used with RESTful APIs #aws #cloudfront #cdn #devops #cloud #platformengineer #sre #http

Introducing CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Origins: Shield your web applications from public internet! Amazon CloudFront introduced CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Origins, a new feature that allows users to use CloudFront to deliver content from applications hosted in a VPC private subnet. VPC Origins eliminates the need for applications to be exposed on the public internet by restricting access solely through users’ CloudFront distributions. This is designed to prevent end users from discovering or bypassing CloudFront to access web applications directly. #aws #cloudfront #cdn #vpc #networking #devops #sre #platformengineer
