One of the often overlooked advantages of moving to the AWS is our ecosystem it provides. This blog highlights how migrating Amazon RDS for Oracle BLOB column data to Amazon S3, simplifies data management and allow customers to tap into a host of AWS services for seamless integration and cost optimization—a key pillar in the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The ability to offload storage to S3 while leveraging other AWS services enables organizations to reduce costs and improve performance without sacrificing security or scalability. This is just one example of how the cloud provides flexibility and innovation by connecting various services together. Check out the blog for more details!

Long trusted for expertise in application security and analysis, Veracode adopted Kubernetes approximately two years ago. As they migrated to Amazon EKS, they recognized the need to ensure compliance with reliability and security policies across their Kubernetes deployments. Our latest case study dives into how they built reliability and security into their K8s infra right from the start: https://bit.ly/48DVU8G #kubernetes #infrastructure #veracode #fairwindsInsights #K8s #reliability #security #casestudy

From On-Premises to Multi-Cloud: Yahoo's Kubernetes Transformation Scaling Kubernetes for platforms like Yahoo Sports, Finance, and News is no small feat. Yahoo’s journey from on-premises to multi-cloud architecture is a masterclass in innovation and problem-solving at scale. In a recent talk by Nandhakumar Venkatachalam and Payal Patel, they shared valuable insights into how Yahoo tackled this transformation, balancing complexity, performance, and security. Here are some standout lessons from their experience: 1️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽: In-house tools like KDNC and FLEKS simplified managing Kubernetes clusters across environments. These tools leveraged Terraform and CloudFormation to create a consistent, efficient way of provisioning clusters. 2️⃣ 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Yahoo adopted Athenz and Istio to automate RBAC and establish app/service identities. Security and scalability were seamlessly integrated when using OIDC for EKS or Workload Identity Pools for GKE. 3️⃣ 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: With Prometheus, Grafana, and Splunk, Yahoo monitored their infrastructure across 37+ clusters, supporting 135,000 pods, 385,000 containers, and 1.8 million requests per second—a truly massive operation. 4️⃣ 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Yahoo’s approach to cloud-native networking stood out. Custom CIDRs, VPC Peering, and Istio ingress configurations helped reduce costs and improve performance across AWS and GCP regions. 5️⃣ 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Bin-packing strategies and resource optimization allowed Yahoo to achieve significant savings. A notable example is their GKE-based Header Bidding project, which reduced costs by 33% while maintaining high throughput. What’s remarkable about Yahoo’s approach is its focus on abstraction—allowing developers to concentrate on building applications while the platform handled the heavy lifting around infrastructure, security, and observability. It’s a model of balancing complexity and usability in a large-scale, multi-cloud environment. You can dive into the full presentation here: https://lnkd.in/eSh77edu

We've been quietly working on Ubicloud APIs for months now. As of yesterday, all Ubicloud API requests and responses are checked against an OpenAPI schema. We also have 100% branch coverage on routes. Plus, it's all open source. Huge thanks to Daniel Farina and Wesley Beary for this! A small (final) commit for the Ubicloud codebase, a big leap for having solid APIs.
