This three-part series explores design patterns and strategies to enhance application resiliency through multi-cluster deployment on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). In this first part, we address a common challenge when using a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in multi-cluster environments. Organizations increasingly rely on Kubernetes—whether through Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or self-managed clusters on […]

Centralized egress is the principle of using a single, common inspection point for all network traffic destined for the internet. This approach is beneficial from a security perspective because it limits exposure to externally accessible malicious resources, such as malware command and control (C&C) infrastructure. This inspection is generally done by a firewall like AWS […]

Introduction We recently announced that Amazon Route 53 Resolver Endpoint supports Domain Name System (DNS) delegation, allowing you to delegate authority for a subdomain from your on-premises infrastructure to Route 53 and vice versa. Previously, to implement DNS delegation and maintain a unified private DNS namespace across on-premises and in Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments, […]

Introduction Optimized failover times in hybrid connectivity are critical for meeting availability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in modern enterprise workloads. This is particularly important when implementing overlay tunnels over Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect, such as AWS Site-to-Site VPN using IPSec tunnels, or Connect Attachments using Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels. Proper configuration can […]
