Interesting Articles - 6/5/2022

  • Amazon Route 53 announces IP-Based Routing for DNS Queries - This sounds a lot like “DNS views” - the ability to answer a DNS query based on the originating client - very useful for routing things to the closest resource, etc, taking into account network architecture. I really could’ve used this at my last place.

  • Mobileye’s journey towards scaling Amazon EKS to thousands of nodes - Good article talking about a company’s journey scaling EKS. Specifically some great pieces in there about Cluster Autoscaler, and handling Spot Instances correctly, scaling CoreDNS, NodeLocal DNSCache (already on my radar), Fluent, and “sharding” clusters.

  • Using AWS Proton as a provisioning mechanism for Amazon EKS clusters - I’m not super familiar with Proton, but this sounds like an interesting idea for packaging up service delivery options for teams (something done with Helm/Terraform/etc today).

  • Amazon EKS and Spot Instances in action at Delivery Hero - Good article on spot and eks - handling spot interruptions with a number of possible instance types is probably a really good takeaway.
