Other Managed Kubernetes

• thenewstack.io: Otomi Container Platform Offers an Integrated Kubernetes Bundle If you want to enjoy the benefits of Kubernetes, configuring and installing the software itself can be just the first of many deeply technical and oftentimes confusing steps. To simplify this, many major cloud providers offer managed Kubernetes services, but even then you may need to install secondary services to handle tasks such as tracing, logging, monitoring, identity access management, and so on. The Otomi Container Platform looks to address this complexity by bundling together more than 30 different Kubernetes add-ons, as well as providing what it calls an “OSX like interface,” and today the project has open sourced a community edition under the Apache 2.0 license.

  • Autoscaling is an approach to automatically scale up or down workloads based on the resource usage. In Kubernetes, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) can scale pods based on observed CPU utilization and memory usage. Starting with Kubernetes 1.7, an aggregation layer was introduced that allows third-party applications to extend the Kubernetes API by registering themselves as API add-ons. Such an add-on can implement the Custom Metrics API and enable HPA access to arbitrary metrics. What follows is a step-by-step guide on configuring HPA with metrics provided by Prometheus to automatically scale pods running on Amazon EKS on AWS Fargate.

It’s an improvement over the previous architecture of applications running in pods to use the IAM roles of the underlying EKS nodes. Being able to configure access to AWS API per service account tends towards the principle of least privilege, and more secure architecture.

And if it's that good, why release it only now?

Let's see 👇
