Run container-optimized EKS clusters with Ocean and Bottlerocket OS

AWS is one of the primary providers for services that help users deploy and manage their containerized applications in the cloud. Since launching ECS in 2014 and EKS in 2017, AWS has learned a lot about running containers at scale and in production. In 2020, AWS developed Bottlerocket OS, a new operating system for hosting containers. This OS was specifically designed to address gaps left by the ECS and EKS-optimized AMIs, which are based on operating systems that run traditional software applications.

Understanding spot pricing trends for a resilient and cost-efficient cloud

Now more than ever our customers are asking us for ways to reduce their public cloud spend. Customers are also asking us whether spot instances are still providing the high level of discount that they always have. The reality is that spot instance pricing is still very much based on supply and demand. Excess capacity from the cloud provider means availability can change within minutes. Therefore, you might see pricing for a particular market increase for a few months and then dip shortly thereafter.

Ocean AKS: Serverless Kubernetes for Azure

Selecting the right infrastructure at the right time for your Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) cluster is not an easy decision. Your AKS cluster has hundreds of dynamic workloads that expand or contract based on application needs. You need to scale up quickly when the application demands it and scale down when resources are not needed to reduce cloud costs. Are you constantly wondering if you are making the right node selections for your AKS cluster with hundreds of applications?

Achieve deeper infrastructure optimization with Ocean's multi-architecture virtual node groups

Running containerized workloads on Kubernetes has become a widespread practice for many organizations. There are several types of workloads that can run on any architecture (“multi-arch”), and each architecture (ARM and x86) has its own benefits in terms of cost, performance and availability. By using Spot Ocean, organizations can now achieve even greater savings when these workloads are running.
