For me, this is the most exciting thing AWS has launched in a while!
Just an attempt to de-comiditize cloud infra .. what we need is a cloud agnostic solution built by someone other than aws/azure/goog
What terminal theme was that in the screenshot? I saw command icons, so it’s a Mac, but how do you make iterm look like that?
This is absolutely awesome. I've thought about doing this a couple of times, as a abstraction layer on top of different clouds, but this is really cool... It's also the first time that I think we have really seen AWS really contribute something to the K8s ecosystem they do lots of good work at the CNCF that is interesting and innovative. (EKS is not as capable as GKS or AKS, and even things like HPA only recently are enabled).
It's great to see Kubernetes being integrated more tightly with the AWS ecosystem. If now all cloud providers open sourced their MySQL/PostgreSQL forks...
Is there something equivalent for GCP? AFAIK you control load balancers via Ingress objects but that's about it in terms of integration, right?
The cloud fight of 2019-2020: AWS vs GCP in the Kubernetes arena. Curious to see who's going to win, of if it's going to be a tie.
Jokes apart: GCP got a head start in containers thanks to Kubernetes; AWS realized it and tried to catch up. Dominating the space will have huge consequences down the road.
My humble view is that whoever starts a RedHat-like service (with support, and SLAs, and enterprise services) on top of Kubernetes, might get the upper hand. Having built Kubernetes might not be enough for GCP to maintain the lead.
Why didn't they launch with RDS support? Seems like a no brainer.
>we need to set up a way to manage AWS IAM credentials to Kubernetes pods... In a production system, this should be done using a tool such as kube2iam or kiam...
I am curious if AWS has any plans to build an IAM integration for K8s that provides IAM credentials/roles directly to pods. An integration through EKS or K8s directly would make interacting with AWS resources very easy.
Being able to authenticate to the K8s cluster using https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-iam-authenticator is nice, but it doesn't help give pods IAM roles.
