Kubernetes is an amazing technology allowing for incredible scaling and expandability thanks to its open source nature, but it can be complicated to set up, and especially to maintain in the long run. Amazon EKS works to solve a lot of the complicated parts of running a Kubernetes cluster by delivering a managed control plane, across multiple data centers for high availability and taking care of availability and scaling, as well as automatically detecting and replacing unhealthy control plane nodes. EKS gives you the flexibility of Kubernetes, without necessarily requiring an entire infrastructure team to manage your cluster. It also makes it much easier to integrate and authenticate with other AWS services.
Got a brand new application you’re building, with limited dependencies? Consider going a brand new direction, where you don’t have to worry about servers, or infrastructure. Serverless compute, using services such as AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway lets you build applications and run them only when you need them, and only pay for when the functions are executed - and the cost is dirt cheap. Fractions of what it would cost to run code in any other service. I recommend checking out how a company such as “A Cloud Guru” runs their entire video training platform on AWS Lambda and Serverless. This architecture requires you to rethink how you’re building your application, but it’s not very complicated, and you can save a significant amount of energy and money.
Amazon EC2 - The backbone and arguably one of AWS most famous services. EC2 is AWS Virtual Machines. You select how much CPU, RAM and disk space you need, then what operating system to run. You can pick from a myriad of Linux distributions, Windows Server and Desktop and even macOS (special rates and restrictions apply). You’re billed by the second you have the virtual machine running.
AWS App Runner - Just want to run a stupid simple container, and not have to worry about it? Try out App Runner. It connects directly to a code repository, or to a container registry then builds the application on the fly for you. Whenever you push changes, App Runner reacts, rebuilds and republish the application.
